CafeSmart 2025 Cafes

CafeSmart is back for its 15th year, uniting cafes, baristas, and coffee lovers across the country to help end homelessness, one cup at a time. On August 8, $1 from every coffee sold at a participating cafe will be donated to grassroots organisations supporting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in your local area.

It’s simple, impactful, and doesn’t cost you anything extra (though you can always chip in more in-store or online if you'd like). All you have to do is turn up, grab your usual, and know your coffee is doing more than waking you up - it’s helping someone doing it tough.

Support your local, shout a mate, or pay one forward. Just make sure your coffee counts. Find your nearest CafeSmart cafe here. With 800 cafes taking part nationwide, it’s easy to find a venue near you.
