Renowned global speciality coffee brand Blue Bottle Coffee will finally open its first Southeast Asian café at the prestigious LUMINE SINGAPORE within Raffles City Singapore on 3 April 2025.
Originating from a modest coffee cart in Oakland, California, Blue Bottle Coffee has grown exponentially, earning worldwide recognition for its meticulous and artisanal approach to coffee-making. The arrival of this café marks an exciting milestone as the brand integrates seamlessly into Singapore’s flourishing and dynamic café landscape.
This new opening follows Blue Bottle Coffee’s successful retail store and exhibition launch in August 2024, representing a significant step in its strategic expansion across Asia. With existing popular outlets in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong SAR, and China, the Singapore café further strengthens the brand’s presence in this pivotal region.
The café will accommodate 42 guests and operate daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The space is thoughtfully designed to embody Blue Bottle Coffee’s essence: craftsmanship, warmth, and community engagement.
Visitors will be treated to Blue Bottle’s renowned coffee offerings, from precisely brewed espresso-based beverages to carefully crafted single-origin pour-overs. Staying true to its commitment to sustainability, the café will feature a rotating selection of coffees sourced responsibly from farms across the globe. Located strategically within LUMINE SINGAPORE, the café provides a comfortable and inviting environment that fosters conversations and connections over meticulously crafted cups of coffee. Blue Bottle Coffee believes exceptional coffee should be paired with exceptional experiences. The Singapore café encapsulates this philosophy, aiming to deliver memorable moments through detailed attention and genuine hospitality.
Kester Whitaker, Chief Growth Officer & Head of Asia at Blue Bottle Coffee, shared his enthusiasm: “The launch of our Singapore café is a significant moment for us, signalling our deeper engagement with the vibrant Southeast Asian market. We’re eager to welcome our guests not just to enjoy premium coffee, but to experience the warmth and hospitality that truly reflect our identity. Singapore’s sophisticated coffee culture provides an ideal backdrop for our debut in the region.”
Since its initial overseas expansion to Japan nearly a decade ago, Asia’s thoughtful coffee traditions profoundly influenced Blue Bottle Coffee. This new café continues that journey, inviting Singapore’s coffee connoisseurs to pause and savor each meticulously crafted brew.
With this strategic opening, Blue Bottle Coffee is poised to become a staple in Singapore’s café scene, promising discerning coffee lovers a new haven of thoughtfully curated coffee experiences.
LUMINE SINGAPORE is located at Raffles City #01-01, 252 North Bridge Rd, Singapore 179103.
