Singapore Coffee Week 2026 has closed; the People's Choice café was named on 8 November

The free coffee is over. The argument about whose café won goes on.

Singapore Coffee Week 2026 is over. The third edition ran from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 November in Hall C on Level 1 of the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, 10am to 8pm, free to walk into. If you missed it, there is nothing to book now: the organisers have not published dates for a 2027 edition, though the awards rules already refer to one.

What it was: roasters, cafés and coffee suppliers on the floor, a Bean Discovery Bar for tasting side by side, a Golden Bean Hunt, an interactive board game, a spin-and-win, a sip-and-stamp trail and coffee competitions. The part with a lasting result is the Singapore People's Choice Café Award, which the Singapore Coffee Association runs with the event. Voting was by verified Singapore mobile number, up to three café brands per person, online from 1 November and on site during the show, closing at 6pm on 8 November. The organisers said the winner and a Top 10 would be announced on their social media channels on 8 November once the votes were verified; we have not seen the verified list, so we are not naming a winner here.

Why it matters: the prize is a free booth at next year's Coffee Week for the winner and space in a shared café pavilion for the rest of the Top 10, so the list doubles as a preview of who will be pouring at the next one, subject, the organisers say, to SCW 2027 taking place.

Our advice: check the Singapore Coffee Week and Singapore Coffee Association social accounts for the Top 10 and treat it as a café-hopping list for the next few weekends; a public vote rewards cafés with loyal regulars, which is not the worst way to choose. We will add the 2027 dates here when they are published.
