We are dedicated to building a lasting annual tradition—a festival that invites the entire community to gather and return each year to celebrate café culture. Rooted in Columbia, our festival reflects a city whose café scene continues to grow and evolve, and we are committed to growing alongside it.

Our mission is to uplift Columbia’s café culture by bringing together passionate artisans and the community they serve. We celebrate the care and creativity behind every cup and creation, fostering an inclusive and welcoming space for connection and shared appreciation.

Founded in 2025 by two passionate travelers inspired by café culture around the world, Cola Cafe Fest was created to spotlight Columbia’s thriving café scene and elevate local talent—inviting the community to gather, sip, and celebrate together.

Cola Cafe Fest brings people together through a shared love of cafe culture, celebrating connection, creativity, and community pride in Columbia.

Enjoy a thoughtfully selected mix of coffee, tea, matcha, boba, specialty drinks, and artisan pastries from local makers.

Our marketplace highlights Columbia’s cafes, bakers, and beverage creators—giving local talent a space to shine and connect.
