A new experience is set to arrive in Indonesia’s lifestyle and culinary scene. Coinciding with International Coffee Day, Café Brasserie Expo (CBE) 2025, organized by Panorama Media, held a press conference to welcome its main event taking place on October 10–12, 2025 at NICE Hall 11, PIK 2. Presented by Bank Central Asia (BCA), CBE 2025 will open with a journey of flavors, bringing together signature elements such as coffee, tea, chocolate, and wine on one stage.
Carrying the theme “Exploring Flavors and Identity,” CBE becomes an expressive space that merges innovative F&B products like coffee, tea, chocolate, and wine with lifestyle elements, ranging from technology, health, automotive, fashion, to beauty. Through a variety of interactive experiences, visitors are invited to discover not only taste, but also the values, stories, sustainability spirit, and social connections that resonate with today’s generation.
As the main sponsor, BCA plays a key role in supporting CBE 2025. The event is also supported by the Ministry of Creative Economy (EKRAF) to strengthen local potential and the growth of modern consumer trends in Indonesia. This collaboration aligns with BCA’s commitment to empower SMEs and local brands to gain more recognition and competitiveness.
“Café Brasserie Expo 2025 is a space where flavors are not just consumed, but explored and understood. We want to share the story behind every cup of coffee, every tea leaf, and every drop of wine—each representing process, values, and culture. At the same time, CBE is also a celebration of lifestyle and meaningful connections through flavors,” said Luhur Tri Atmojo, Project Manager of CBE 2025.
From an industry perspective, the exhibition has been well-received by players and associations. Andrew Saputro, Head of Cooperation & Promotion at GAPMMI, stated:
“CBE is a vital momentum for F&B players, from corporations to SMEs, to connect directly with consumers, showcase innovation, and strengthen their position in both national and global markets. GAPMMI will also host a special gathering session for members during the event, serving as a platform for networking and collaboration.”
