Cafés are facing a pivotal moment. With rising operational costs, unpredictable footfall, and an increasingly competitive high street, operators are having to make smarter decisions just to maintain margins, let alone grow. At the same time, customer expectations are shifting fast: from ethically sourced coffee to frictionless ordering, all-day menus to brand storytelling, cafés are expected to deliver more, with less.

Café Business Expo is the event built specifically for the UK café sector, bringing together independent owners, branded chains, and aspiring operators to explore the future of café culture, commerce, and community.

Taking place at ExCeL London on 30th September & 1st October, the show offers direct access to the suppliers, tools, and strategies that matter: from coffee equipment and drinks innovation to operational tech, packaging, and sustainable sourcing. You’ll also hear from operators who are navigating the same pressures, sharing what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what’s coming next.

With a sharp focus on practical, commercial insight, Café Business Expo is where café businesses come to rethink, reconnect, and refocus.

The event is free to attend and runs as part of the wider Hospitality B2B Portfolio, giving you access to a full spectrum of hospitality-focused shows under one roof, including Restaurant & Takeaway Innovation Expo, Hospitality Tech Expo, Hotel & Resort Innovation Expo, Trade Drinks Expo, Street Food Business Expo and Responsible Packaging Expo.
