NYC Coffee Festival in Greenpoint, October 2026

Plan the NYC Coffee Festival on October 3, 2026 at The Post BK, 100 Dobbin Street, Greenpoint: hours, session tickets, the G-train walk, nearby coffee.

If you are going to a coffee festival in Brooklyn this fall, check the address first. The NYC Coffee Festival is Saturday, October 3, 2026, at The Post BK, 100 Dobbin Street, in Greenpoint, not in a Manhattan expo hall.[1] This is a one-day tasting event in the warehouse blocks south of Greenpoint Avenue. Use it if you already wanted to walk the neighborhood that weekend. It is not a ranked best-coffee list, and it is not Coffee Fest, the Javits industry show that uses a similar name.[2]

The Post BK is a renovated warehouse used for athletics and events. Its own site lists the Greenpoint room at 100 Dobbin Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222.[3] Average Socialite names the same building for this date. Do not mix it up with Dobbin St, a separate event space at 64 Dobbin Street. Ticket pages currently brand the day NYC Coffee Festival and note it was previously listed as NYC Craft Coffee Festival.[4] Craft Hospitality LLC is the organizer on Eventbrite. The thin official site is nyccoffeefest.com. Average Socialite points to @nyccoffeefest as the event account. Treat both as listings to re-check the week of the show, not as a locked program book.

Hours on Eventbrite, Average Socialite, and Allevents agree: Saturday, October 3, about 9am to 4:30pm. The official site names the date and 100 Dobbin St without spelling out hours. Tickets are sessioned, not one open floor from first pour to last. Allevents, mirroring the Eventbrite inventory, currently lists a morning general-admission window around 10am to 1pm, an afternoon window around 1:30pm to 4:30pm, early access from 9am, and all-day passes. Those listings show general-admission sessions starting in the low thirties, with early-access and all-day options priced higher.[5] Prices and tier names move. Buy on the live Eventbrite listing. Public copy talks about specialty roasters, coffee shops, snacks, and live entertainment. Nobody we can cite has published a complete exhibitor roster. If a named booth list appears later, it will show up on those same pages. Until then, do not treat this as a preview of who is pouring.

Hide & Seek on Manhattan Avenue, already on the Greenpoint map. The festival floor is a warehouse on Dobbin Street, not this cafe.

Dobbin Street sits on the warehouse side of Greenpoint, a short walk from Nassau Avenue on the G. That is the closest subway. Greenpoint Avenue on the same G is the next stop north, useful if you are coming from the G train coffee spine rather than from McCarren. Bedford Avenue on the L is a longer walk from the Williamsburg side of the park. Off the G, walk from Manhattan Avenue toward Dobbin. You do not need a car for this one. The festival sits on the southern, McCarren-adjacent end of Greenpoint, not on the Franklin waterfront strip. If your day is a park loop plus a session, start with coffee near McCarren Park and walk north to Dobbin when your ticket window opens.

None of the shops on our catalog are listed as festival exhibitors. They are the rooms you can actually walk to before a morning session or after the 4:30pm close. A close catalog stop is Cafe Grumpy at 193 Meserole Avenue, the original Greenpoint location, a short walk from Dobbin on the same grid.[6] Variety Coffee Roasters at 142 Driggs Avenue sits toward McCarren, a table if you want to sit after the last session instead of getting back on the G. Those two are geography, not a ranking, and not a claim that either is pouring inside The Post BK. For the rest of the walk, use the Greenpoint hub rather than a thin top ten grafted onto an event page.

If the cup is the point of the rest of the day, the already-built cut is craft coffee in Greenpoint: in-house roast and origin in the cup, not a star sort. It sits next to the borough craft coffee lane. Further north from Dobbin, Sweetleaf at 159 Freeman Street is a specialty coffee bar the craft page already treats as a Henrique pick, pour-over and the Freeman room, not a festival booth. Pueblo Querido at 195 Greenpoint Avenue is the other Henrique pick on that page, near the Greenpoint Avenue G. Confirm the door before you go; the hub already flags tenant chatter. Do not read those names as exhibitors. They are the neighborhood you are standing in. The north-Brooklyn why-go, if you are choosing Greenpoint versus Williamsburg versus Bushwick for the cup, is Greenpoint, Williamsburg, or Bushwick.

After the afternoon session, a McCarren loop is the natural south walk. A longer Greenpoint morning is the north walk, and that map already lives as the Greenpoint coffee guide. We are not pretending we walked the festival floor. The useful facts are the ones the listings actually pin: Saturday, October 3, 2026, The Post BK, 100 Dobbin Street, Greenpoint, roughly 9am to 4:30pm, sessioned tickets, no verified exhibitor list yet. Re-check nyccoffeefest.com and the Eventbrite listing the week of the show for hours, tickets, and any roster that finally publishes. Then drink the neighborhood that is already here.
