A relatively new and fast growing platform, The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops is a global recognition competition and the announcement happened last weekend in Madrid at the Madrid Coffee Fest. It's a great way to bring people together and we are sure it will go from strength to strength
THE WORLD’S 100 BEST COFFEE SHOPS 2026 highlights a coffee shop’s excellence in delivering the best coffee experience, from coffee quality, barista craftsmanship, to coffee shop ambience.
DaVinci Gourmet is the title sponsor of THE WORLD’S 100 BEST COFFEE SHOPS. This partnership aligns directly with their mission to empower beverage artists to create their own masterpieces and supports their ambition to lead the premium beverages category by 2029, with a focus on independent coffee shops.
The list is determined by a combination of voting and judges submissions and it is causing quite a stir in the global coffee industry!
