Malaysia Café Expo

15th – 17th July 2026
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

Malaysia’s Premier Hub Uniting Café Industry Innovators

From the enduring legacy of traditional kopitiams to the explosion of world-class indie cafés, Malaysia’s coffee scene is thriving, with the market set to hit US$1.05 billion this year.

As major lifestyle brands blend retail with F&B, the sector demands a stage that reflects its growing global influence, driven by a younger demographic that views cafés as the new social hub.

To support this rapid expansion, the industry requires a dedicated platform that connects every tier of the supply chain. Malaysia Café Expo (MCE) enters its second year to fill this gap, evolving into a comprehensive one-stop showcase. By uniting equipment suppliers, artisanal roasters, and franchise concepts, MCE serves as the essential infrastructure for a market that has outgrown traditional trade boundaries.

Malaysia Café Expo

Co-located with the Malaysian International Food & Beverage Trade Fair (MIFB) and Malaysian Food Technology Trade Fair (MyFoodTech), the Malaysia Café Expo (MCE) shines a spotlight on the country’s thriving café culture.

Now running for its second year, MCE has expanded its scope to support the entire café ecosystem covering café equipment, bakery and pastries, snacks and confectionery, as well as café franchise and licensing brands. This dedicated showcase brings together café owners, roasters, baristas, and suppliers to explore everything that powers the café business. 

Hosting Malaysia National
Coffee Championship (MNCC)

Malaysia Café Expo, under MIFB, is proud to host the Malaysia National Coffee Championship (MNCC) for the second time in 2026.

Our commitment since 2025 has been to strengthen Malaysia’s coffee and café sector by providing a platform where talent is recognised, nurtured, and supported.

MNCC plays a key role in this vision by giving homegrown baristas the space to grow by refining their skills, pushing their creativity, and advancing their craft toward world-class standards.
For the café industry, the partnership between MCE and MNCC continues to build a more connected and thriving community of coffee and café professionals.

Winners of each category will earn the opportunity to represent Malaysia at the World Coffee Championships, sanctioned by World Coffee Events (WCE). This global stage brings together competitors, judges, and volunteers from across the nation, highlighting the talent and dedication in the global coffee community.

We look forward to welcoming an even larger gathering of baristas, café owners, and coffee enthusiasts from 17–19 July 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

STRATEGIC PARTNER

This partnership also marks the start of an exciting new chapter for MIFB, as it works towards introducing a dedicated coffee and tea-focused platform, “Malaysia Café Expo,” as part of its ever-evolving portfolio.

This strategic partnership underscores a commitment to nurturing talent and elevating coffee craftsmanship. With prestigious competitions such as the Barista Championship, Brewers Cup, and Cup Tasters Championship, the MNCC will culminate at MIFB 2026, showcasing the skills of Malaysia’s finest coffee professionals.
