Looking to chat in real life? Everyone's welcome at Pirate Coffee Roastery, Coffee Bar + Community Space, but if you can't make it to Port Stephens, there's lots of other amazing chat spaces out there!
We’re building a directory of local coffee catch-ups, community meetups, and peer-run convos where you can grab a brew and connect.
This is a work in progress, so check back often as we add more groups.
Please note: These meetups are independently run. We encourage you to click through and connect directly with the group facilitator for the most up-to-date info.
Run a group you'd like to see listed? Get in touch with us here — we’d love to add you to our resource kit!
