Blue Bottle Coffee, the renowned United States-based coffee chain, is set to make a flavorful splash in South-east Asia with its inaugural cafe at Lumine Singapore within the Raffles City shopping center. Coffee aficionados can soon savor the brand’s distinctively curated espresso menu, featuring their signature blends brewed from single-origin beans.

Originally starting as a modest coffee cart in Oakland, California in 2002, Blue Bottle Coffee has rapidly expanded its footprint across various countries including the US, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China. The collaboration with Lumine has paved the way for its entry into the Singaporean market, with existing Blue Bottle Coffee outlets situated in Lumine-operated shopping complexes in Japan.

The minimalist aesthetic that Blue Bottle Coffee is renowned for will be on full display at its new Singaporean location, embodying simplicity with its iconic blue bottle logo. This move signifies a significant milestone for the brand, as it enters a city known for its vibrant cafe culture and burgeoning specialty coffee scene in South-east Asia.

Expressing his enthusiasm for this venture, Mr. Kester Whitaker, the Chief Growth Officer and Head of Asia for Blue Bottle Coffee, highlighted Singapore’s deep-rooted appreciation for craftsmanship and cafe culture. Lumine’s President and CEO, Mr. Teruyuki Omote, echoed this sentiment, anticipating the positive impact Blue Bottle Coffee’s arrival will have on Singapore’s dynamic coffee landscape.

As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, Blue Bottle Coffee’s debut in South-east Asia is poised to bring a fresh wave of flavor and quality to the discerning palates of coffee enthusiasts in Singapore and beyond.
