Lviv is widely known for its amazing coffee festivals, typically held in the city's center, but as a Lviv-based company, we want to draw your attention to the most innovative, youth-oriented, and authentic brown-bean event. So check out this locals' guide on the finest coffee festival in Lviv and possibly all of Ukraine.
Venue
Lviv Coffee, Books & Vintage Festival is held at !FESTrepublic—a huge party and celebration hub in Lviv. The place is the alternative leisure spot to Lviv residents and "a city inside of a city," as they call it.
Formerly a factory, !FESTrepublic now offers all conditions for hosting high-quality events of all sorts, including coffee. The place is only a 20-minute walk from Rynok Square, meaning you won't have to spend hours to get there. Plus, !FESTrepublic is located not too far away from the highest elevation in Lviv, so expect to see some great views there as well.
What's in
It's pretty obvious that the Coffee, Books & Vintage Festival has a lot to do with coffee. But is that all? Definitely not.
Coffee
Indeed, regular coffee lovers and experienced professionals will be able to choose from a variety of activities: sample tastings, masterclasses, championships, brewing sessions, presentations, you name it. All these things are an integral part of the event's program, making coffee the ultimate headliner of the fest. But there's more to the event than just the drink tasting. After all, the festival's name says "Coffee, Books & Vintage," not just "Coffee," right?
Books
Coffee, Books & Vintage Festival is more than just a celebration of coffee culture—it's a lifestyle event. Let us explain. At the fest, you'll witness numerous books, stationery, and accessory shops. The event immerses you into a relaxing environment where you can sit down in a comfy chair, drink fragrant coffee, and read your favorite book. There's also a giant book monument in the center of the hub—which you can't help but notice.
Vintage
Finally, here comes the third pillar of the festival—vintage. The organizers have invited numerous experts, holding vintage fashion lectures and educating visitors on relevant topics.
