Lavazza’s Union Station Activation Brings Coffee and Cinema Together
The Lavazza Union Station activation will turn a stop at Toronto’s downtown transit hub into a quick coffee and cinema experience during TIFF.
Inspired by Florence’s historic wine windows, the pop-up will feature a theatre-inspired service window where visitors can ring a brass bell to reveal a prize.
According to the activation details provided by Lavazza, prizes may include:
- Lavazza coffee samples
- Lavazza-branded merchandise
- Lavazza coffee machines
- TIFF premiere tickets
The activation adds to Lavazza’s presence around the Toronto International Film Festival. Lavazza has been a TIFF coffee partner and has previously brought cinema-inspired coffee experiences to Toronto.
When and Where to Find the Lavazza Pop-Up
- Location: Union Station, 65 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5J 1E6
- Dates: September 13 to 15, 2026
- Morning hours: 8 to 11 a.m.
- Afternoon hours: 3 to 7 p.m.

TIFF 2026 runs from September 10 to 20, so the activation falls within the festival’s 2026 dates.
What to Expect at the Lavazza Experience
The interactive bell-and-prize experience is the main attraction at the Union Station pop-up.
Visitors can approach the theatre-style window and ring a brass bell to reveal one of the available Lavazza prizes. The setup gives a playful Italian-inspired touch to the usual coffee stop while fitting naturally into the energy surrounding TIFF.
For anyone already travelling through Union Station, the activation is also an easy stop to add to a TIFF itinerary without needing to visit a separate destination.
Continue the Experience at Cinema Lavazza
The Lavazza experience will also continue at Cinema Lavazza in TIFF Village, where visitors can enjoy a complimentary Cold Brew and explore the connection between Lavazza coffee and cinema.
Lavazza has previously used TIFF to create cinema-inspired experiences around the city, including free coffee sampling and branded activations.
For visitors planning a full festival day, the Cinema Lavazza stop can be paired with screenings, TIFF Village activities and other events happening throughout downtown Toronto.
A Convenient Stop During TIFF 2026
The Lavazza Union Station activation is an easy addition to a TIFF itinerary, particularly for visitors already travelling through downtown Toronto.
The location is the biggest convenience. Instead of making a separate trip across the city, festivalgoers can stop at Union Station for coffee, try the interactive bell experience and continue on to their next screening or event.
If you’re planning to visit, check the latest information from Lavazza before heading out, especially if you’re specifically hoping to receive one of the advertised prizes.
