The 25th Seoul International Café Show runs from 11 to 14 November 2026 at COEX. The venue separates the first two business days from the public dates, Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November. Check your ticket category before buying.
Friday gives you a longer visit
COEX lists Friday’s public hours as 10 am to 6 pm, with last entry at 5:30 pm. Saturday closes at 4 pm, with last entry at 3:30 pm. Both use Seoul local time. Allow for registration and queues when deciding which day fits.
Choose a tasting or equipment route
For tasting, compare the same coffee style at two or three stands so you can tell what changes with roast or brewing method. For equipment, write down the machine model, size, power requirements and local service options. Ask for a demonstration that matches how you would actually use it.
If you’re visiting for business
The business days are meant for trade visitors. Confirm registration requirements with the organiser and make a short supplier list before you go. If you plan to attend a related session, check whether your pass covers that session as well as exhibition entry.
