Thank you

The first edition of the Ottawa Coffee Fest was a great success! We would like to express our thanks to everyone who was involved and who supported us in the early planning stages: vendors, sponsors, volunteers, speakers, workshop leaders, media and more! It was a busy day from start to finish and we’re incredibly amazed by the turnout! There’s no doubt, Ottawa loves its coffee and we can’t wait to see what comes next. 💜
