KL Mocha Fest will happen from July 3-5, 2026, at KLGCC Mall
In conjunction with International Chocolate Day, the inaugural KL Mocha Fest will bring together growers, artisans, and creatives from Malaysia’s coffee and chocolate industries. The festival aims to deepen appreciation for high-quality coffee and chocolate while shining a spotlight on the people behind these beloved products, from the farmers to roasters and chocolatiers whose dedication shapes every sip.
KL Mocha Fest places the focus on the producers, not just the product. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with some of the industry's most respected names, including Chocolate Concierge, Benns, Seniman, and many more. Presented by the team behind Coffee & Art Fringe Festival Asia and Craft Coffee Fest, KL Mocha Fest marks an exciting new chapter celebrating the intersection of coffee, chocolate, culture, and craftsmanship.

One of the festival's signature highlights is the KL Mocha Competition 2026, where talented baristas will showcase their original interpretations of the classic mocha. Competitors will blend technical expertise and creativity to create unique beverages that push the boundaries of what a mocha can be.
The programme also features the Saudagar CIMB Program, a curated platform for meaningful conversations and knowledge-sharing. Industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts will come together through engaging panel discussions and talks, offering valuable insights into the future of coffee, chocolate, sustainability, and business.
