Coffee Hong Kong 2026: What to Know Before You Go

Coffee Hong Kong returns to the Great Lawn at West Kowloon Cultural District from April 3 to 6, 2026. Now in its third year, the outdoor festival brings together more than 80 specialty coffee brands from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia for four days of tastings, workshops, live music, and waterfront views of the Victoria Harbour skyline.

This year’s theme is “A Cup Beyond Circle,” and the festival is expanding with new daily programmes that go well beyond coffee. Whether you are a serious specialty coffee drinker or someone who just enjoys a good flat white on a sunny afternoon, here is everything you need to know before you go.

What to Expect

The festival is organized into six zones spread across the Art Park lawn. Group H is the Hong Kong zone, featuring local roasters like Knockbox Coffee, Urban Coffee Roaster, Blooms Coffee, and Holistic Coffee Roastery. Group J is the Japan zone with 20 brands including Fuglen, Glitch Coffee & Roasters, Philocoffea, and Trunk Coffee Japan. Group K covers 12 Korean brands such as Hytte Roastery and HorangBrew.

There is also a dedicated F&B zone with food vendors (including Loong Bar by Mak’s and Mother of Pizzas), a spirits zone with gin and sake bars for evening cocktails, and a lifestyle zone with merchandise and accessories. In total, expect over 100 stalls across the site.

Daily Themes and Activities

Each day of the festival has its own character. Friday (April 3) kicks off with a Coffee Art & Latte workshop and an outdoor DJ rave party in the evening. Saturday (April 4) is family day, with an Easter egg DIY workshop, sunrise yoga on the lawn, face painting, and a parent-child football challenge. Sunday (April 5) features a hand drip coffee workshop by Real Drip Coffee Revolution and a Coffee x Cocktail Mixology session. Monday (April 6) wraps up with a pet-friendly dog show, a cocktail film bar DIY workshop, and a closing house music set.

Face painting runs from noon to 6:00 PM on all four days, and the football interactive zone is open daily as well. The festival opens at 11:00 AM and closes at 8:00 PM each day.

World Champion Baristas

One of the biggest draws is the lineup of award-winning baristas. Shoji Suzuki from Glitch Coffee & Roasters (runner-up, World Coffee Roasting Championship) will be brewing on site. Tetsu Kasuya from Philocoffea, the 2016 World Brewers Cup Champion, is also confirmed. Yasuo Suzuki from Trunk Coffee Japan, runner-up at the 2017 World Barista Championship, rounds out the headliners. These are opportunities to taste competition-level coffee without booking a flight to Tokyo.
