Melbourne Cup Day at Flemington, Poured by St Remio
Melbourne Cup Day 2026 brought 97,112 racegoers through the gates at Flemington, the biggest Cup Day crowd since 2016. Grey skies couldn't dull it. The colour, the music and the racing made it one of the best Cup Days in years, and we had a coffee in hand for every bit of it.
Coffee and espresso martinis for Cup Day
The biggest crowd in a decade, and every coffee on the ground was ours. The Pink Palace by the betting ring, the Lexus Pavilion and the St Remio container by the Elms poured all day for the Melbourne Cup Day 2026 crowd, with Mr Black shaking espresso martinis at the container. Lattes, Mont Blancs, Pistachio Mont Blancs and our Lemon Pie Cold Brew kept racegoers going until the last race.
A Cup for the history books
The race itself delivered. Point of Law took out the 166th Lexus Melbourne Cup, and Ciaron Maher made history as the first trainer to land a Melbourne Cup trifecta. Off the track, the Pink Palace was popping off all day, the Lexus Pavilion was a vibe from the first race to the last, and the fashion was next level.
Robbie Williams at Flemington
Then there was Robbie. Robbie Williams opened the big moment with a performance in the Mounting Yard before the Cup, then came back after the final race for a 75-minute set on The Elms Live Stage. Feel, Angels, Let Me Entertain You, and a whole racecourse singing along. A Cup Day highlight, no question.
Next up, Oaks Day
Thursday 5 November brings the colour. See where to find St Remio across the Carnival, or catch up on Derby Day.
Every coffee we pour on course connects back to the women of the Cocagi Cooperative in Rwanda. See the projects your coffee funds.
