After selling out in its inaugural year, the consumer-focused Toronto Coffee & Tea Expo is returning to occupy a larger venue, with expanded program offerings and more vendors from throughout the Canadian coffee hub.
Taking place Saturday, April 14, and Sunday, April 15, at the Evergreen Brickworks Pavilions, the show will introduce hundreds of coffee- and tea-curious consumers to many of the city’s brightest baristas, roasters, distributors, coffee shop owners and coffee gear sellers.
