WHERE DO THE PROFITS GO?
Glasgow Coffee Festival has always been in support of independent businesses and the growth of our local coffee industry. We are therefore a ‘not for profit’ event.
Profits have always been donated to charity. Our 2025 festival was no different, thanks to the sponsorship support by Dear Green, La Marzocco, Oatly and Borrow Cup.
