Bring Your Favorite Mug to the Upcoming Philly Coffee Festival Featuring Brews, Bites, and Beats

Philly’s coffee lovers will have plenty to buzz about when the Philly Coffee Festival returns for its second annual celebration on October 25–26 at the 23rd Street Armory. Running from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, the festival will transform the historic venue into a caffeinated paradise featuring tastings, live music, and a lineup of the region’s most beloved roasters.

Attendees can sip their way through a robust list of roasters, each bringing their own signature style, beans, and brewing methods:

Non-coffee drinkers won’t be left out—there will be tea and other beverages available including teas and matcha, along with sweet and savory bites from vendors such as Dream Bakery and The Chilly Banana, with more to be announced.

The event offers multiple ways to attend. General Admission tickets provide access to a single three-hour session, while Early Admission tickets grant an extra hour before the crowds arrive—and include the GA session that follows. For those who want the full experience, a limited number of All Day passes offer in-and-out privileges, access to both sessions, and the chance to stay in the venue during the midday service break.

Festival-goers can also enjoy live performances from h.e.didthis, Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, Sophie Coran, and Maggie Mae, adding a lively soundtrack to the tasting experience. Outside, food trucks will be on hand for anyone looking to pair their coffee with a meal.

Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite reusable mugs, though plenty will be available on-site. The festival welcomes service animals, but due to the hot beverage environment, attendance by young children is discouraged for safety reasons.

With more roasters, food vendors, and contributors to be announced, the Philly Coffee Festival promises to be a weekend-long celebration of caffeine, community, and craft.
