The highly anticipated Singapore National Coffee Championship (SNCC) 2026 returns from 15 to 17 July 2026, bringing together the nation’s leading baristas and coffee professionals in a dynamic showcase of skill, creativity and craftsmanship. Organised by the Singapore Coffee Association (SCA), the flagship competition will be held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Level 1 Halls A, B & C. It is co-located with SIGEP Asia, the third Asian edition of the world’s leading Italian international artisan gelato, pastry, bakery and coffee trade show SIGEP World, alongside other F&B trade events, Specialty Food & Drinks Asia (SFDA) and Restaurant Asia.
Ilaria Cicero, chief executive officer of IEG Asia, said, “SNCC is an important highlight within SIGEP Asia, bringing together top coffee talent alongside a wider ecosystem of F&B professionals, brands and buyers. This creates a unique platform where craft meets commerce, enabling meaningful industry connections while strengthening Singapore’s position as a regional hub for the coffee and café sector.”
SNCC 2026 continues to serve as Singapore’s premier competitive benchmark for excellence across Singapore’s coffee and cafe industry, anchored in the highest standards of specialty coffee. More than a showcase, the championship plays a critical role in setting professional standards, elevating the barista profession, and promoting best practices in coffee preparation. It also supports the development of local talent by providing a recognised pathway for competitors to advance onto the international stage, while encouraging continuous improvement and craftsmanship across the community.
Victor Mah, president of the Singapore Coffee Association, said, “We’re proud to see the Singapore National Coffee Championship continue bringing the coffee and cafe community together each year, creating a platform for baristas and coffee professionals to refine their craft, exchange ideas, and push the industry forward. At its core, SNCC is not about defining what ‘good coffee’ is, but about creating a space for baristas, professionals, and the wider community to explore, experiment, and express their craft. Beyond the competition itself, the annual event reflects the continued growth and vibrancy of Singapore’s coffee scene, while giving local talents the opportunity to showcase their skills and creativity on both the local and international stage. This year, we continue to focus on stability and consistency as important foundations of the craft, while still encouraging individuality and expression within the coffee community.”
