The 2025 edition of Cafe Show China spans 36,000 sqm at the centrally located Chaoyang Hall in Beijing’s CIEC. The show floor is segmented into key zones — coffee and tea products, roasting and brewing equipment, bakery and dessert zones, interior and packaging design, and café investment and franchising. Over 450 exhibitors from more than a dozen countries will showcase their innovations. Alongside the exhibition, the show will feature the World Roasting Team Championship (WRTC), China’s National Cup Tasters Competition, and the Café Forum, which offers sessions on market trends, operational strategies, and café design. The visitor base spans across café and restaurant owners, baristas, equipment dealers, foodservice buyers, investors, distributors, and design consultants. The event facilitates deep networking opportunities and acts as a launchpad for both product testing and business expansion. It bridges the traditional craft of tea and coffee with cutting-edge digital and retail strategies, from AI-driven POS systems to eco-conscious packaging. Cafe Show China’s robust B2B environment empowers exhibitors to close high-value deals, develop franchise networks, and secure retail placements in both domestic and overseas markets.
