Coffee Fest New York 2027 — March 7-9 at the Javits Center

Coffee Fest returns to the Javits Center on March 7-9, 2027, gathering café owners, roasters, baristas, distributors and suppliers from across the specialty coffee and tea industry. The East Coast edition keeps the show's long-running formula: a busy trade floor, practical education and live competitions under one roof. Dedicated zones include the Latte Art Venue, Cupping Corner, Roasting Hub, Tech Lab and Connections Lounge. Attendees can cup coffees, test espresso machines and grinders, compare green coffee offerings and talk through packaging, POS and equipment financing with exhibitors. In the afternoons, the Latte Art Venue hosts the Latte Art World Championship Open, a sudden-death bracket where baristas compete for a place in the official championship. The education program runs across all three days, with hands-on workshops on extraction and milk texturing, plus business sessions aimed at first-time café owners and operators looking to streamline workflow, control costs and build stronger menus. Sessions are led by working roasters, consultants and award-winning baristas. Equally important is the networking: Coffee Fest draws visitors from the New York metro area and beyond, making it a practical stop for anyone sourcing equipment, evaluating new beverage lines or scouting partnership opportunities. Plan an extra day to explore the city's specialty coffee scene between appointments.
