Blue Bottle Coffee Debuts in Southeast Asia with First Café in Singapore
Blue Bottle Coffee has officially announced the opening of its first-ever café in Southeast Asia, set to launch at LUMINE SINGAPORE in Raffles City in early 2025.
This marks a significant milestone for the globally renowned specialty coffee brand as it expands into the vibrant Southeast Asian market.
A New Chapter for Blue Bottle Coffee
From its humble beginnings as a small coffee cart in Oakland, California, Blue Bottle Coffee has grown into an internationally recognized brand.
After establishing a strong presence in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and China, the brand is now bringing its celebrated coffee experience to Singapore.
Following the success of its retail store and exhibition at LUMINE SINGAPORE in August 2024, this new café will offer customers an immersive Blue Bottle experience, complete with its signature coffee and an inviting café space.
A Café Designed for Coffee Enthusiasts
The new Blue Bottle Coffee café is meticulously designed to reflect the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, hospitality, and community. Coffee lovers in Singapore can look forward to:
- Expertly brewed specialty coffee using carefully sourced single-origin beans.
- A seasonally curated espresso menu featuring high-quality beans roasted to perfection.
- A welcoming space designed to highlight Blue Bottle’s dedication to precision and quality.
The Blue Bottle Coffee Journey
Founded in 2002 by James Freeman, Blue Bottle Coffee started as a personal passion for fresh, high-quality coffee. Over the past two decades, it has become a leading player in the global coffee culture, known for its meticulous approach to sourcing, roasting, and brewing.
Since 2017, Nestlé has supported the brand’s international growth, helping it reach new markets while maintaining its core values of small-batch roasting and direct farmer relationships.
A Strong Partnership with LUMINE
Blue Bottle Coffee’s expansion into Singapore is made possible through its strong partnership with LUMINE, a leading retail and lifestyle brand from Japan.
This collaboration, rooted in shared values of craftsmanship and hospitality, has already seen success with several Blue Bottle cafés in LUMINE shopping centers across Japan.
“The opening of our first Blue Bottle café in Southeast Asia is an incredibly exciting milestone, and we are thrilled to do it in Singapore with LUMINE,” said Kester Whitaker, Chief Growth Officer & Head of Asia at Blue Bottle Coffee.
“Our partnership with LUMINE has deep roots in Japan, and nearly a decade later, we are taking another meaningful step by bringing the full Blue Bottle experience to Singapore.”
A New Destination for Coffee Lovers in Singapore
Singapore is known for its dynamic café culture and growing appreciation for specialty coffee. The arrival of Blue Bottle Coffee is expected to enhance the local coffee scene, offering a new destination for coffee lovers who appreciate high-quality brews and expertly crafted espresso.
“We are truly delighted to welcome Blue Bottle Coffee’s first Southeast Asian café to LUMINE SINGAPORE,” said Teruyuki Omote, President and Chief Executive Officer of LUMINE Co., Ltd.
“Since Blue Bottle first expanded internationally to Japan nearly a decade ago, we have shared a vision of bringing its thoughtfully crafted coffee experiences to new audiences. This launch is especially meaningful in Singapore, home to a vibrant café culture.”
