The ultimate caffeine kick will be delivered in this epic day-long festival dedicated to the delicious coffee bean.

This year Australia's biggest coffee festival will be divided into four quarters, each representing one of the four corners of the world. At the Middle Eastern 'Oasis' you will find Turkish coffee and delights amongst camels and belly dancing (Hickson Rd Reserve). The 'Latin Quarter' will represent South America with Samba and Brazilian tea (First Fleet Park). At 'The Orient' you'll find Japanese teas and exotic spices (Campbells Cove). And finally coffee blends from Spain, Italy and France and Danish and Portuguese pastries and piano accordion accompaniment will make you feel like you are, in fact, on 'The Continent' (George Street, The Rocks Square, and Overseas Passenger Terminal forecourt).

Across the four domains cooking and coffee making demonstrations will ensue and the delicious makings will be selling for a humble $2. Wander the streets, take in the scenery and warm your wintered belly with an aromatic delight.
