Boiler Latte Art Festival 2026
Two days dedicated to specialty coffee, creativity, education and community. Boiler Coffee Shop × Supertree.
About the festival
This October, Boiler Latte Art Festival 2026 brings Bucharest’s specialty coffee community together for two days of competition, learning, inspiration and shared experiences.
The festival grew out of Boiler’s Latte Art Throwdown competitions and has evolved into a broader urban event for professional baristas, home baristas, coffee lovers and curious visitors who want to discover more about the craft, culture and business behind specialty coffee.
The 2026 edition also marks the first collaboration between Boiler Coffee Shop and Supertree, with the first day of the festival taking place at Globalworth BOC.
What to expect
Saturday, 10 October | BOC Tower, co-hosted with Supertree
Learn & get inspired! The first day is focused on learning and exchange, with BLAF Talks, BLAF Roundtable and practical workshops exploring coffee technique, hospitality, business, creativity and coffee culture.
A highlight of the programme will be a special latte art workshop with Bala Lin, World Latte Art Champion 2026, and Sarawut Manngan, 4th place at the 2026 World Latte Art Championship.
Visitors can also expect coffee tastings and experiences through the Coffee Station, alongside conversations with professionals from across the specialty coffee industry.
