BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE FINALLY OPENS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

Singapore’s coffee scene is about to welcome a new icon. In early 2025, Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore will open its first Southeast Asian café at LUMINE SINGAPORE in Raffles City. This launch marks a big step for the brand, known for its quality, hospitality, and craftsmanship.

For coffee lovers, this is more than just another café. It’s a chance to finally enjoy the full Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore experience. The team carefully sources top-quality beans and brews each cup with precision. As Singapore continues to cement its place in the global coffee scene, Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore’s arrival will undoubtedly raise the bar even higher.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Passion

James Freeman, a musician-turned-coffee-lover, started Blue Bottle Coffee in 2002 as a small coffee cart in Oakland, California. His goal was simple—serve freshly roasted coffee with care. Over time, the brand became a leader in the third-wave coffee movement, focusing on single-origin beans, small-batch roasting, and expert brewing.

Today, Blue Bottle Coffee has loyal fans across the U.S., Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and China. Naturally, expanding to Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore is the next logical step. The city values both great coffee and the artistry behind it, making it an ideal destination for the brand.

The Blue Bottle Experience Comes to Singapore

Singaporeans got their first taste of Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore in August 2024 when the brand launched a retail store and exhibition at LUMINE SINGAPORE’s global flagship store. Now, with the upcoming café, guests will finally get to fully experience what makes Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore special—coffee, community, and design.

The café’s inviting space allows guests to slow down and truly savor each sip. Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore creates a clean and simple aesthetic that beautifully highlights coffee rituals. Whether guests choose a hand-poured single-origin coffee or a perfectly made espresso, each cup reflects the brand’s dedication to excellence.

A Celebration of Singapore’s Café Culture

Singapore blends old and new, where traditional kopitiams sit alongside modern coffee houses. Because of this deep appreciation for quality coffee, the city is the perfect home for Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore.

“Our partnership with LUMINE has strong roots in Japan, our first market outside the U.S.,” said Kester Whitaker, Chief Growth Officer & Head of Asia at Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore. “Singapore’s café culture, focus on craftsmanship, and key role in Southeast Asia’s coffee scene make this the perfect next step for us.”

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore strengthens its long-standing partnership with LUMINE, a key player in Japan’s retail and lifestyle scene. Over the years, Blue Bottle Coffee has opened several cafés in LUMINE shopping centers, reinforcing their collaboration.

“We are thrilled to welcome Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore’s first Southeast Asian café to LUMINE SINGAPORE,” said Teruyuki Omote, President and CEO of LUMINE Co., Ltd. “Our partnership is built on shared values—craftsmanship, hospitality, and community—rooted in Japan’s kissaten culture. Because of this, bringing Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore to the city is a meaningful step forward.”

As Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore expands into Southeast Asia, this café is more than just another opening. Instead, it’s an invitation to experience coffee at its best. Singapore’s coffee lovers, get ready—something special is brewing!
