Vote For Your Favourite 'Local Legends' Cafe And You Could Win a Trip For Two to Seattle

Overview

The humble barista is the unsung hero of their community, dishing out cups of the good stuff to every customer who comes through the door. You could argue that these heroes keep the world spinning. One group that knows how much appreciation they deserve is Aussie Coffee Roasters, Toby's Estate, which champions the cafes that grind and pour Toby's beans in the annual Local Legends competition.

The competition celebrates the community heroes, and it's back in full force for a 2024 run. The winning cafes get the title and a full feature article here on Concrete Playground. But they aren't the only winners, as one entrant will win a trip for two to Seattle, one of the world's most popular cities for coffee-loving tourists. Simply cast your vote for your favourite Toby's cafe to enter the running.

Organised by Visit Seattle, the trip is worth up to $8500AUD and available to one entrant and a plus one. Additional entries are available if you spend over $100 on the Toby's Estate website.

You can cast your vote for your favourite cafe from a list of eligible spots on the Toby's Estate website. You've got plenty of time to cast your vote on which cafe you think should be your state's Toby's Estate Local Legend of 2024. Votes are open from Tuesday, October 1 to October 22.
