Nordic Coffee Fest is a celebration of the specialty coffee industry in Sweden and it’s Nordic neighbours. Produced by Ordna Event Agency (the people behind The Barista League), it’s not your standard coffee festival, but a meticulously planned, sustainable coffee event with the best vibes and the quality of execution and service that you would expect from an event with much bigger budget.

As the only specialty coffee focused event in Sweden and the biggest in the Nordics, Nordic Coffee Fest is the destination for anyone who wants to know more about coffee.
Expected attendance: 4000
