COFFeEAST Bucharest

COFFeEAST is a hybrid trade and cultural fair dedicated to speciality coffee. It brings together business, craft and community in a distinctive format. The event is organised by COFFEEAST FESTIVAL SRL, a Romanian company committed to strengthening the Eastern European coffee scene, fostering connections and raising its international profile.

The fair takes place at the Romexpo Exhibition Center in Bucharest, the country’s leading exhibition and convention venue. This strategic location positions COFFeEAST at the heart of South Eastern Europe – a region experiencing rapid growth in hospitality, a wave of innovative roasteries and rising demand for speciality coffee.

COFFeEAST covers the entire coffee value chain. Its core focus is Eastern Europe’s speciality coffee culture – from filter and espresso traditions to third-wave roasteries, independent cafés and emerging brands. At the same time, it serves as a dedicated trade platform for professional buyers and decision-makers. Exhibitors showcase state-of-the-art roasting technology, premium espresso machines and grinders, water treatment systems, digital POS and B2B solutions, as well as accessories, ceramics and design-led products. The portfolio is complemented by craft beverages, food concepts and carefully curated lifestyle brands that broaden the overall coffee experience.

A defining feature of the fair is its hands-on programme. Workshops, cuppings, sensory sessions and expert talks provide both industry professionals and ambitious coffee enthusiasts with practical insights and applicable expertise. Baristas, roasters, traders, hospitality professionals, café owners, hoteliers, importers and start-ups use the event as a platform for networking, product launches and market entry into Eastern Europe.

Highlights include competitions such as the GreatEast Cup – a barista championship featuring individual and team formats alongside creative and speed challenges. The programme also includes latte art throwdowns and live performance formats that spotlight craftsmanship, precision and innovation. In this way, COFFeEAST is not only a business platform but also a stage for talent and emerging trends.

The Romexpo Exhibition Center is located in the north of Bucharest and is easily accessible from both Henri Coandă International Airport and the city centre. Modern halls, generous exhibition space and robust infrastructure provide ideal conditions for exhibitors and trade visitors alike.

COFFeEAST is therefore far more than a conventional trade fair. It combines marketplace, knowledge platform and festival into a cohesive, carefully curated experience where coffee culture, technology and commercial exchange converge.

The third edition of the COFFeEAST takes place on 3 days from Fri., 20.03.2026 to Sun., 22.03.2026 in Bucharest.
