Blue Bottle Coffee to open a pop-up in Singapore
The brand will open in Raffles City Shopping Center.
California speciality coffee startup Blue Bottle Coffee will open a pop-up at the new LUMINE Singapore global flagship store in Raffles City Shopping Centre this 27 August.
The opening marks Blue Bottle’s first foray into Southeast Asia and celebrates its partnership with LUMINE.
According to the brand this “is a first step for a broader introduction of the full Blue Bottle Coffee experience planned for Singapore.”
Beginning August 31, the gift shop will feature an exhibition that chronicles Blue Bottle Coffee's journey over the past 20+ years. This exhibit will highlight pivotal moments in the company's history, emphasizing its California Bay Area roots, expansion into Japan–Blue Bottle's first international market–and the innovative steps leading to the development of its Craft Instant Coffee. This display aims to offer visitors insight into how Blue Bottle's journey has been shaped by both its California roots and Japanese influences, while also showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and its mission to bring exceptional speciality coffee to a global audience.
Blue Bottle Coffee, Inc., is a coffee roaster and retailer once headquartered in Oakland, California. The brand is backed by Nestle, which owns 68% of the coffee startup. According to Nestle’s website, there are 100 Blue Bottle cafes across the US and Asia.
