NZSL Week 2025 coffee events with Starbucks

With the help of Starbucks, NZSL New Zealand are turning coffee into community. And, for one week only, they’re raising awareness and fundraising for Deaf Aotearoa – you can be part of it.

What’s really cool about these taster events is that they’ll be NZSL friendly! The whole thing will be interpreted by the Deaf Aotearoa iSign team 🙌

Whether you’re Deaf or hearing, this is your invitation to take a break, connect with others, and support a great cause – all over a cup of coffee.

Why come along?
☕ Enjoy a guided tasting experience led by Starbucks experts and NZSL interpreters. Try a signature coffee and a sweet treat for free!
☕ Learn more about coffee and community – and maybe pick up a couple of NZSL signs to use
☕ Support Deaf Aotearoa through your visit – donate $2 at the till any time during 5 – 11 May
☕ Help build a more inclusive Aotearoa – one cup at a time
