The Top 200 European coffee brands have been announced and industry voting has opened ahead of The European Coffee Symposium + COHO 2026, taking place on 25 November 2026 at the JW Marriott Berlin
The 2026 European Coffee & Hospitality Top 200 has been revealed, bringing together the brands that are making the biggest mark on Europe’s coffee and hospitality landscape.
Selected through nominations from professionals across the sector, the Top 200 spans the full breadth of the industry. The shortlist includes international chains, independent coffee shops, bakery and food-focused operators, hotel groups, commercial and specialty roasters, equipment manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers.
Organised by Coffee Ventures Europe, part of Allegra Group, the 2026 list encompasses 20 categories across the coffee and hospitality value chain.
With the shortlist now live, verified industry professionals are invited to vote for the businesses they believe should take home one of the 20 European Coffee & Hospitality Awards. Voting closes on 1 November.
“The Top 200 gives the industry a moment to stop and look at the businesses making a real difference. These are the brands creating new experiences, raising standards and giving the sector its momentum. Their inclusion has been shaped by industry peers, which makes this recognition especially meaningful. Now we are looking forward to seeing who the industry chooses as its category winners, and celebrating them together in Berlin,” said Ludovic Rossignol, Chief Event Officer, Coffee Ventures Europe.
Category winners will be revealed during a black-tie gala dinner on 25 November 2026 at the JW Marriott Berlin, as part of the 2026 European Coffee Symposium + COHO Expo (ECS+COHO).
ECS+COHO takes place 24-26 November 2026 at the JW Marriott Berlin. The three-day event brings together over 2,500 senior decision-makers from 52 countries, representing more than €6bn ($6.9bn) in collective annual buying power.
