LAFAYETTE PARISH — The first-ever Lafayette Coffee Festival kicks off Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Rock-n-Bowl in downtown Lafayette. It will draw Gulf Coast roasters, coffee innovators, and specialty vendors together for a day of flavor exploration, education, and celebration. Running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the event will feature more than a dozen exhibitors, hands-on classes, live demos, and unlimited coffee tastings, all for just $10 admission.
Organizer Jim Currie explains, “Our coffee festival is as much about coffee education as it is drinking new flavors. The world of coffee is complex and there is so much to explore in terms of different beans, different roasting options and different brewing methods. Our exhibitors are coming from all over southwest Louisiana to share new coffee experiences with our festival visitors.”
Some events to expect:
Coffee Tastings:
Over a dozen specialty coffee roasters from across Southwest Louisiana will offer samples of their best brews.
Educational Sessions:
Coffee brewing method demonstrations
Coffee flavor wheel exploration
Green coffee roasting sessions
Expert Panels:
Louisiana Roasters Roundtable hosted by Thomas Faulk (Abbeville), focusing on shared challenges and collaboration in the roasting community.
