Mrs Bird said south-west baristas could enter, with all funds raised going to Southwest Healthcare’s Delta Dog therapy program.
“It will be a fast-paced knockout style competition,” she said. “It’s a competition for local baristas as well as a networking event between cafes and the industry.”
She said they were hoping to raise at least $600 for the program. The event is open to the public, with the crowd deciding the winner. It is on from 5.30-7.30pm on July 27.
