All About Café Thessaloniki

The "All About Café", an annual highlight of the Food & Drinks Expo in Thessaloniki, stands as the premier trade fair for coffee enthusiasts and industry professionals. Organized by Helexpo at the renowned Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre, this event offers a unique platform to immerse oneself in coffee culture and stay updated on the latest trends and techniques in coffee preparation and roasting.

In Greece, several unique and popular coffee preparations are deeply rooted in the culture. Among the most well-known is Greek coffee (Ellinikós kafés), which resembles Turkish coffee and is brewed in a small pot called a briki. Finely ground coffee is brought to a boil in water, often sweetened, and served in a small cup with the grounds. Also popular are frappé, espresso, and cappuccino, with their iced versions especially appreciated due to the Mediterranean climate. These drinks reflect not only the Greeks' love for coffee but also the influence of the local weather conditions.

The fair attracts professional baristas, roasters, and coffee lovers who can participate in a wide range of activities, including impressive competitions where baristas from all over Greece showcase their latte art skills. Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to sample coffee varieties from around the world in tastings supported by state-of-the-art technology and equipment.

A central feature of the event is the informative seminars and workshops led by leading industry experts. These sessions provide valuable insights into the latest developments and offer a hands-on opportunity to gain practical knowledge from renowned roasters and award-winning baristas.

All About Café is distinguished not only by its specialized offerings but also by the chance to connect directly with industry leaders and like-minded individuals. It is a must-attend event for anyone working in the coffee sector or looking to expand their expertise. The Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre, a major venue for international fairs, provides the ideal setting for this prestigious event with its modern infrastructure. With its unique blend of competition, education, and networking, "All About Café" solidifies its position as a key platform for coffee trends and culture.

The All About Café will take place on 3 days from Friday, 31. October to Sunday, 02. November 2025 in Thessaloniki.
