Affinity Coffee Collective

Affinity Coffee Collective is a new venture opening its doors in Noosaville at Unit 5/47 Gateway Dr. The grand opening is on 9 August in collaboration with Gateway to Art’s inaugural Artists in Action weekend, and all are invited. Expect discounted coffee, signature drinks and a first look at how Affinity plans to uplift specialty coffee.

Founded by long-time coffee professional Sven Bengtsson, Affinity is built on the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy better coffee whether you’re making it at home, serving it in a café or wanting to roast it yourself.

Sven explained that Affinity isn’t just another coffee shop – it’s a hub for learning, collaboration and a celebration of specialty coffee. The space brings together carefully sourced specialty beans, expert brewing equipment and hands-on training tailored to both beginners and seasoned baristas.

He said that what truly sets Affinity apart is its commitment to local connection because the collective is opening its space to other Sunshine Coast producers, suppliers and roasters –offering a welcoming venue for art, workshops, showcases and shared ideas. Visit: FB Affinity Coffee Collective.
