Columbia's 1st Cafe Festival

A Celebration of Community & Culture

Celebrating Columbia’s Artisan Spirit

Cola Cafe Fest is a celebration of the people and passion behind Columbia’s café culture. By uniting local artisans, roasters, and bakers, we create an experience that honors craftsmanship, supports small businesses, and invites the community to gather, explore, and connect.

Built on Community

We believe café culture is more than coffee—it’s a catalyst for connection. Cola Cafe Fest is designed to bring people together, elevate local talent, boost tourism, and cultivate pride in the creativity that shapes Columbia.
