This collaboration highlights MIFB’s commitment to fostering the country’s café culture while introducing the Malaysia Café Expo, a dedicated platform for coffee and tea innovations.
Aligned with the theme Future-Ready F&B: Serving the Evolution of Trends, MIFB 2025 focuses on specialty coffee, Ready-To-Eat (RTE) and Ready-To-Cook (RTC) products, and digital advancements in the F&B industry.

This prestigious competition celebrates Malaysia’s specialty coffee talent, bringing baristas, brewers, and coffee tasters to the forefront.
