Coffee is taking center stage at SM Supermalls this July as the mall operator rolls out Coffee Fest 2026, a nationwide celebration highlighting the country's growing café culture, local coffee brands, and specialty roasters.
Running throughout the month, the festival features coffee fairs, tastings, pop-up bazaars, and promotions across participating SM malls, offering coffee enthusiasts opportunities to discover new cafés while supporting Filipino coffee entrepreneurs.
The festivities begin from July 17 to 19 at SM Megamall, where the Biyaya Sustainable Living Festival, Manila Coffee Festival, and Coffee Expo Manila come together for a three-day gathering focused on Philippine coffee from farm to cup. Visitors can meet farmers, artisan roasters, brewers, and coffee entrepreneurs while learning more about sustainable coffee production.

After the opening weekend, the celebration continues with Coffee N' Chill from July 20 to Aug. 2. Participating SM malls will host coffee-themed activities designed around the idea of the café as a "third space," where visitors can unwind, work, or spend time with friends. Select coffee brands from the Biyaya festival will also hold pop-ups from July 24 to 26, extending the experience to more communities.
Guests can expect Coffee N' Chill bazaars featuring specialty cafés and local coffee brands, Instagram-ready Coffee & Clicks installations, exclusive offers through SM Malls Online Swipe Deals, coffee tasting sessions, and other mall-specific promotions, including activities at SM Mall of Asia.
