广州咖啡门店数量全国第二Guangzhou has the second largest number of coffee shops in the country

　　生豆进口量占全国42% 咖啡全产业链去年年产值670亿元 直接带动就业超15万人

　　并非传统咖啡产区，广州却坐拥8017家咖啡门店，数量稳居全国第二、华南第一；虽非传统种植带，却在山野间培育出独属于广州的本土风味；这里是全球生豆进入中国的重要通道、创意咖啡输出高地、智能设备出海重镇。咖啡香与早茶气交织，骑楼光影与杯盏流光相映，千年商都的开放血脉，在一杯杯咖啡里奔涌不息。

　　近两百年时光流转，广州在这无豆之地，煮出咖啡芳香。近年来，广州更凭借城市产业力、科技力和市场消费力，打造出一座城的咖啡产业。2025年，广州咖啡全产业链年产值670亿元，直接带动就业超15万人，生豆进口量占全国42%。一杯小小的咖啡，已然成为展现广州商贸活力、产业升级与消费魅力的窗口。

　　8000家门店织就满城咖啡香

　　咖啡，早已融入广州的城市呼吸。

　　它是“早八人”的通勤水，写字楼里的下午茶，社区邻里的小聚闲谈，老街巷里的文旅打卡。珠江新城快取店前排起长队，东山口洋楼小院里香气浮动，永庆坊骑楼下咖啡与岭南风情相映成趣。天河六运小区每150平方米便有一家咖啡店，密度冠绝全国，被业内称作“咖啡奥林匹克街区”。星罗棋布的店铺，勾勒出一座城的日常烟火与生活诗意。

　　一杯广州咖啡，满是消费活力。截至2025年底，全市咖啡门店8000多家，全国第二、华南第一。2025年，广州饮料及冷饮服务（咖啡+新式茶饮）营业额同比增长22.8%，为餐饮消费最强引擎，增速远超全市社零平均水平。

　　这份热闹早有伏笔。广州CREMA咖啡培训品牌创始人李陶深耕行业20余年，他至今难忘2003年的景象：小北、建设六马路一带，十几平方米的小咖啡店日销数百杯，外籍人士聚集，24小时咖啡馆随处可见。广州咖啡起步早、氛围浓、根基深，早早便埋下蓬勃的种子。

　　鲜为人知的是，广州早已孕育出独属于自己的本土风味。从化深耕咖啡种植七载，在罗洞工匠小镇的荔枝林下培育出带有清甜荔香的特色咖啡，相关种植实践已载入《从化年鉴》。从化将2026年正式确立为“从化咖啡元年”，本土品种“流溪荔夏”培育与地理标志申报同步推进，以“咖啡+采摘+烘焙+文旅+非遗”的融合模式，为广州咖啡产业添上一抹来自山野的原生香气。

　　更让广州咖啡“出圈”的，是产品创新力。广州咖啡师深谙“食在广州”的精髓，把广府风物揉进杯中：玉兰花Dirty清润如晚风，老广州Dirty带着水葡萄与莲雾的清甜，陈皮冷萃醇厚回甘，凉茶咖啡、牛杂咖啡大胆跨界，没有教条束缚，只有好喝好玩。

　　广州咖啡产业创意已吸引世界目光。在白云金达咖啡饮品城内，提供一站式茶咖开店全案服务的“万遇水吧”店中，来自北马其顿的商人西尔维娅低头认真记录果咖调配细节，笔记上写满配比与心得。“广州有现代的咖啡创意，我们当地年轻人很喜欢。”她要把这份灵感带去家乡。这家店铺，每月要接待二三十批远道而来的海外客商，单次合作金额常达数百万元。

　　品牌江湖更是精彩纷呈。瑞幸、星巴克、Manner、库迪等全国连锁在广州密集布局；本土品牌强势崛起，自成一派。来回咖啡、缇里咖啡、store by .jpg、PAIX等广式咖啡品牌，凭借稳定出品、务实定价与贴心服务，迅速站稳市场。缇里咖啡如今已在全国布局200家门店。超过40%的独立咖啡馆藏于广州街巷，小而美、小而精，让广州咖啡始终保有最鲜活的烟火气与创意。

　　从中国第一家咖啡馆，到国际咖啡交易中心

　　广州是中国咖啡的起点。1836年，十三行靖远街开出中国第一家咖啡馆“北风与海”；1905年，芳村诞生中国首个咖啡烘焙作坊；华侨回乡带来饮用习惯，让咖啡早早融入城市生活。百年流转，广州人接纳咖啡、喜爱咖啡，顺理成章。

　　国际枢纽地位，让全球风味顺畅抵达广州。2024年，经广州关区进口生豆18.3万吨，占全国的42%，进口额为8亿~10亿美元。黄埔港、南沙港、白云机场构筑高效流通网络，“即到即检”48小时通关、空运6小时清关、保税缓税等便利化措施，让全球优质生豆更快、更顺地进入广州，再分发全国。广州市咖啡行业协会相关负责人说，广州已经成为全国咖啡贸易重要枢纽，进出口双轮驱动特征明显，未来随着“国际咖啡交易中心”建设的推进，贸易集散功能将进一步强化。

　　咖啡产业链推动上下游及文旅消费

　　街头飘香的每一杯咖啡，背后都连着一条产业链。由工厂、仓库、展会、门店共同织就的产业生态，已支撑起广州咖啡产业的数百亿元体量。

　　在广州现代化烘焙车间里，咖啡豆在智能烘豆机中翻滚，焦糖香气弥漫。以给力咖啡为代表的企业，年烘焙量突破3000吨，一天就能为市场供应36万杯咖啡，稳定地支撑着华南6000多家咖啡店的日常出品，甚至在去年以高端精品咖啡打开海外市场。精品烘焙工坊里，师傅们专注于风味调配，让来自世界各地的生豆，在广州焕发出独特口感。咖啡贸易与烘焙板块年营收稳定在80亿—120亿元，成为产业的坚实底座。

　　咖啡设备与器具的制造，更让广州拥有了走向世界的硬实力。在黄埔的生产车间里，一台台智能咖啡机完成组装调试，它们搭载自主研发的物联网系统，可远程监控、智能出杯，最终远销100多个国家和地区。仅技诺智能一家企业就拥有年产26万台整机的规模化产能，全自动化咖啡机核心模组中，单条生产线年产能就达40万套。其产品出口占比高达70%，其中对咖啡品质最为讲究的欧洲市场占比最高，产品已成功打入意大利、日本等咖啡传统消费强国，让“广州智造”在全球市场站稳脚跟。咖啡设备与器具板块年营收达50亿—80亿元，成为产业增长的新亮点。

　　咖啡行业盛会正持续打造中，未来，广州将通过行业盛会打通产业上下游，让广州咖啡形成闭环生态，推动经济乘数效应——每投入1元，就能带动上下游及文旅消费1.8—2.2元。

　　这个“五一”诚邀您相聚广州咖啡季

　　面向未来，广州咖啡产业拥有广阔的成长空间与更多可能。有广州咖啡从业人士建议，广州可在现有基础上，进一步发挥商贸枢纽优势，持续优化生豆集散、保税仓储、物流通关等服务效能，推动全球咖啡资源高效集聚；持续完善咖啡人才培育体系，为产业长效发展注入更充足的专业力量；深化咖啡与乡村振兴、文商旅体的融合创新，不断拓展消费场景，丰富产业价值内涵，推动咖啡产业实现更高质量、更可持续的发展。

　　产业的进阶，需要平台的助力，更需要共识的凝聚。今年“五一”，即将到来的广州咖啡季，正是一次凝聚行业力量、激发城市活力、促进交流共生的重要契机。它不仅是一场属于市民的咖啡体验，更是广州咖啡产业链接资源、向新而行的重要起点。

　　这个“五一”，诚邀您相聚广州咖啡季，以一杯醇香，赴一场属于羊城的美好之约。

The import volume of raw beans accounts for 42% of the total coffee industry chain in China, with an annual output value of 67 billion yuan last year, directly driving employment for over 150000 people

Although not a traditional coffee producing area, Guangzhou has 8017 coffee shops, ranking second in the country and first in southern China in terms of quantity; Although it is not a traditional planting belt, it has cultivated a unique local flavor of Guangzhou in the mountains and wilderness; This is an important channel for global green beans to enter China, a highland for creative coffee exports, and a key hub for smart devices to go global. The aroma of coffee and morning tea blend together, the light and shadow of the arcade and the flowing light of the cups complement each other. The open blood of a millennium old merchant surges endlessly in each cup of coffee.

Over the past two hundred years, Guangzhou has brewed coffee aroma in this bean free land. In recent years, Guangzhou has leveraged its urban industrial power, technological power, and market consumption power to create a coffee industry for the city. By 2025, the annual output value of the entire coffee industry chain in Guangzhou will reach 67 billion yuan, directly driving employment for over 150000 people and accounting for 42% of the country's imported raw beans. A small cup of coffee has become a window to showcase Guangzhou's commercial vitality, industrial upgrading, and consumer charm.

8000 stores weave the aroma of coffee throughout the city

Coffee has long been integrated into the urban breathing of Guangzhou.

It is the commuting water for "early eight people", afternoon tea in office buildings, small gatherings and chats among community neighbors, and cultural and tourism check-in in old streets and alleys. There is a long queue in the front row of the the Pearl River New Town Express Shop. The fragrance in the courtyard of Dongshankou Yanglou is floating, and the downstairs coffee of Yongqingfang and Lingnan style contrast. The Tianhe Liuyun community has one coffee shop every 150 square meters, with the highest density in the country, and is known as the "Coffee Olympic Block" in the industry. The scattered shops outline the daily fireworks and poetic life of a city.

A cup of Guangzhou coffee is full of consumer vitality. By the end of 2025, there will be over 8000 coffee shops in the city, ranking second in the country and first in South China. In 2025, the revenue of beverages and cold drink services (coffee+new-style tea drinks) in Guangzhou will increase by 22.8% year-on-year, making it the strongest engine of catering consumption, with a growth rate far exceeding the average level of social consumption in the city.

This excitement has already been foreshadowed. Li Tao, the founder of Guangzhou CREMA coffee training brand, has been deeply involved in the industry for more than 20 years. He still remembers the scene of 2003: small coffee shops covering an area of over ten square meters selling hundreds of cups a day in Xiaobei and Jianshe Liuma Road, where foreigners gather and 24-hour cafes can be seen everywhere. Guangzhou coffee started early, has a strong atmosphere, and has a deep foundation, planting the seeds of prosperity early on.

Little known is that Guangzhou has already nurtured its own unique local flavor. Conghua has been deeply cultivating coffee for seven years, and has cultivated a unique coffee with a sweet lychee aroma under the lychee forest in Luodong Craftsman Town. The relevant planting practices have been recorded in the Conghua Yearbook. Conghua will officially establish 2026 as the "Conghua Coffee Year", and the cultivation of the local variety "Liuxi Lixia" will be promoted simultaneously with the application for geographical indications. With the integration model of "coffee+picking+baking+cultural tourism+intangible cultural heritage", it will add a touch of native aroma from the mountains to the coffee industry in Guangzhou.

What makes Guangzhou coffee even more popular is its product innovation. Guangzhou baristas are well versed in the essence of "eating in Guangzhou" and blend Cantonese culture into their cups: the Jade Orchid Dirty is as refreshing as the evening breeze, the Old Guangzhou Dirty brings the sweetness of water grapes and lotus mist, the aged tangerine peel is cold extracted and mellow, the herbal tea coffee and beef offal coffee boldly cross boundaries, without any dogmatic constraints, only delicious and fun.

The creativity of Guangzhou's coffee industry has attracted worldwide attention. In the Baiyun Jinda Coffee and Beverage City, the "Wanyu Water Bar" store provides one-stop tea and coffee shop opening services. Sylvia, a businessman from North Macedonia, lowers her head and carefully records the details of fruit and coffee blending, with notes filled with ratios and insights. Guangzhou has modern coffee ideas, which are very popular among young people in our area. She wants to bring this inspiration to her hometown. This store receives 20-30 batches of overseas merchants who come from afar every month, with a single cooperation amount often reaching millions of yuan.

The brand world is even more exciting and diverse. Luckin Coffee, Starbucks Manner、 Kudi and other national chains have densely laid out in Guangzhou; Local brands are rising strongly and forming their own faction. Round Trip Coffee, Tili Coffee, Store by. jpg, PAIX and other Cantonese coffee brands have quickly established themselves in the market with stable production, pragmatic pricing and attentive service. Tili Coffee has now established 200 stores nationwide. More than 40% of independent coffee collections are located in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, small yet beautiful, small yet refined, allowing Guangzhou coffee to always maintain the most vibrant fireworks and creativity.

From China's first coffee shop to the International Coffee Trading Center

Guangzhou is the starting point of Chinese coffee. In 1836, the first coffee shop in China, "North Wind and Sea," opened on Thirteen Rows Jingyuan Street; In 1905, Fangcun established China's first coffee roasting workshop; Overseas Chinese returning to their hometowns brought drinking habits, allowing coffee to integrate into urban life early on. After a hundred years of circulation, it is natural for Guangzhou people to accept and love coffee.

International hub status allows global flavors to smoothly reach Guangzhou. In 2024, 183000 tons of raw beans will be imported through Guangzhou Customs District, accounting for 42% of the national total, with an import value of 800 million to 1 billion US dollars. Huangpu Port, Nansha Port, and Baiyun Airport have built an efficient circulation network, with convenient measures such as 48 hour customs clearance for "immediate inspection upon arrival", 6 hour customs clearance for air transportation, and tax deferral for bonded goods, allowing high-quality green beans from around the world to enter Guangzhou faster and more smoothly, and then be distributed throughout the country. The relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Coffee Industry Association said that Guangzhou has become an important hub for coffee trade in the country, with obvious characteristics of dual wheel drive for import and export. In the future, with the promotion of the construction of the "International Coffee Trading Center", the trade distribution function will be further strengthened.

The coffee industry chain drives upstream and downstream as well as cultural and tourism consumption

Every cup of coffee on the streets is accompanied by an industrial chain. The industrial ecosystem woven together by factories, warehouses, exhibitions, and stores has supported the tens of billions of yuan volume of Guangzhou's coffee industry.

In the modern roasting workshop in Guangzhou, coffee beans roll in the intelligent roasting machine, and the caramel aroma permeates. The enterprises represented by awesome Coffee have an annual baking volume of more than 3000 tons, which can supply 360000 cups of coffee to the market in a day, stably supporting the daily production of more than 6000 coffee shops in South China, and even opened the overseas market with high-end boutique coffee last year. In the boutique baking workshop, the masters focus on flavor blending, allowing raw beans from all over the world to shine with a unique taste in Guangzhou. The annual revenue of the coffee trading and baking sector remains stable at 8-12 billion yuan, becoming a solid foundation for the industry.

The manufacturing of coffee equipment and utensils has given Guangzhou the hard power to go global. In the production workshop of Huangpu, one intelligent coffee machine after another is assembled and debugged. They are equipped with self-developed IoT systems that can remotely monitor and intelligently dispense cups, and are ultimately exported to more than 100 countries and regions. Just one enterprise, Jinuo Intelligent, has a large-scale production capacity of 260000 complete machines per year. In the core module of fully automated coffee machines, the annual production capacity of a single production line reaches 400000 sets. The export proportion of its products is as high as 70%, with the European market, which places the highest emphasis on coffee quality, having the highest proportion. Its products have successfully entered traditional coffee consuming countries such as Italy and Japan, allowing "Guangzhou Intelligent Manufacturing" to establish a foothold in the global market. The annual revenue of the coffee equipment and utensils sector has reached 5-8 billion yuan, becoming a new highlight of industry growth.

The coffee industry event is continuously being created. In the future, Guangzhou will connect the upstream and downstream of the industry through industry events, forming a closed-loop ecology for coffee in Guangzhou and promoting economic multiplier effects - for every 1 yuan invested, it can drive upstream and downstream as well as cultural and tourism consumption by 1.8-2.2 yuan.

We cordially invite you to gather for the Guangzhou coffee season during the May Day holiday

Looking towards the future, the coffee industry in Guangzhou has vast growth potential and more possibilities. Some coffee industry professionals in Guangzhou suggest that Guangzhou can further leverage its advantages as a commercial hub, continuously optimize the efficiency of services such as green bean distribution, bonded warehousing, and logistics clearance, and promote the efficient aggregation of global coffee resources; Continuously improving the coffee talent cultivation system and injecting more sufficient professional strength into the long-term development of the industry; Deepen the integration and innovation of coffee with rural revitalization, culture, commerce, and sports, continuously expand consumption scenarios, enrich the value connotation of the industry, and promote the coffee industry to achieve higher quality and more sustainable development.

The advancement of the industry requires the assistance of platforms and the cohesion of consensus. This year's May Day, the upcoming coffee season in Guangzhou, is an important opportunity to gather industry strength, stimulate urban vitality, and promote communication and symbiosis. It is not only a coffee experience for citizens, but also an important starting point for Guangzhou's coffee industry to connect resources and move towards a new direction.
