Subscribe Beans & Basslines: Where to Find Australia’s Best Coffee Raves
Feel that natural buzz.
If you’ve reached the life stage where messy nights and sore heads are becoming less and less appealing, this new trend might be right up your alley. The best parties are now happening before breakfast and they’re swapping tequila shots for espresso shots.
Across the country, coffee raves are redefining the pre-work routine. From Sydney to Perth, these events blend barista-grade coffee with DJ sets, movement, and mindfulness. They’re kind of surprising but they’re also proof that you don’t need alcohol (or darkness) to dance. Here’s where to find the best of them.
Wait, so what is a coffee rave?
Basically, these get-togethers are social, sober events which usually take place in the morning. They encourage likeminded people to gather together, drink good coffee and enjoy music. They’re hosted in a variety of places ranging from cafes to bakeries and full-blown event venues, but the basic premise is always the same – no alcohol and good vibes only.
These raves are perfect for people who like going out and socialising but don’t love doing it at night, or don’t enjoy drinking alcohol and find it hard to find dance events where that isn’t the main focus.
There’s a healthy mix of these all across Australia so there’s plenty of opportunities for everyone to give it a try at least once.
