Why the Cafe Awards?
At the heart of our Best Café Awards is a deep-seated belief in the power of community and the vital role that local cafes play in our lives.
Last year, we were moved by the overwhelming response from the public,
Over 40,000 votes with 500 cafes nominated…. and this was just in Brisbane.
That’s why we founded the Best Café Awards – to celebrate cafes’ essential role in our communities. Last year’s overwhelming support showed us that it’s not about the size of the café; it was a testament to people’s love for their neighbourhood cafes, where baristas know their names, orders, and even pets.
As we expand to cover six regions this year, we are driven by a passion to uplift cafes, the heartbeat of our communities. The Coffee Commune is dedicated to celebrating their resilience and prioritising their sustainability – now more than ever.
