Looks good to me, lots of independent cafes are going to be there and the UKBC finals should be really cool. The big brands are part of the coffee scene in London too and it's great to see a broad range of tastes catered for at a festival like this. Coffee is for everyone, not just snobs!

I really enjoyed it last year. If you love coffee and want to learn more about what good coffee is, it's an eye opener. Lots of tastings and sampling as well, and good variety of vendors selling other stuff, so it wasn't just coffee. The venue is also really cool. Good day out in my opinion. i'll go again

I visited last year's coffee festival and was utterly underwhelmed. Lots of the big brands were there - from Alpro Soya to Starbucks - but very few independent roasters.
It is bound to be a festival that will impress the Shoreditch/Spitalfields skinny jeans gang but if you are a serious coffee drinker your time is better spent in your favourite cafe.
