The roasters who raised the most for homelessness in 2026

If you'd like your coffee money to do some good, this is where it did the most in 2026.

Each year, CafeSmart asks cafés and roasters to give part of their coffee sales to people experiencing homelessness. The 2026 campaign brought together 555 cafés and 55 roasters and raised more than $150,000, according to BeanScene.

StreetSmart Australia, which runs it, has now named its 2026 industry award winners. Four roasters made both top fives, and all six on the lists have pages on Best Bean Deals.
