In celebration of the iconic cafe’s opening, we share some of the best things to get your hands on
Coffee enthusiasts in Singapore will no longer need to hop on a flight for a cup of Blue Bottle Coffee’s aromatic coffee as its cafe is set to open on April 3. Set to open in Lumine Singapore in Raffles City, the upcoming cafe marks the joint’s first Southeast Asian outlet.
Before becoming a pioneering force in the coffee culture, the brand had its humble beginnings in 2022 as a small coffee cart in Oakland, California. Over the years, the brand has obtained a cult following and quickly expanded to Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.
The new 42-seater cafe takes over its previous retail and exhibition space in Raffles City’s Lumine Singapore. Here, find a curated menu featuring Blue Bottle Coffee’s signature blends and espresso-based beverages. Apart from coffee, the brand has also partnered with local bakery Bakery Brera to serve up a selection of freshly baked creations.
To celebrate its launch, we share some of the drinks and bites to look forward to come April 3.
