The cult-favorite American coffee brand is finally bringing its specialty brews to Southeast Asia.
Need a coffee fix? Whether you’re fighting the afternoon slump or craving a morning pick-me-up, there’s exciting news brewing—Blue Bottle Coffee is finally making its way to Singapore! The beloved American specialty coffee brand is set to open its first café in Southeast Asia at Raffles City this 2025, adding even more aroma and flavor to the city’s thriving coffee scene.
The café will be housed inside Lumine Singapore, the Japanese lifestyle retail chain that first introduced Blue Bottle Coffee’s retail products to Singapore in August 2024. That initial launch featured the brand’s signature coffee beans and merchandise, but now, fans can finally experience Blue Bottle’s handcrafted brews in a full-fledged café setting. Taking over the retail space inside Lumine, this café will mark a deeper collaboration between the two brands, bringing Blue Bottle’s signature minimalist aesthetic and expertly brewed coffee to Singapore’s coffee-loving crowd.
What We Know So Far About Blue Bottle Coffee Café in Singapore
So, what’s on the menu? Let’s just say—it’s worth the wait. Blue Bottle Coffee is known for its seasonally curated espresso menu, offering a carefully selected rotation of flavors. Expect beautifully balanced, smooth, and rich coffee brewed with the brand’s high-quality, single-origin beans. Whether you’re a pour-over purist or a sweet latte lover, there’s something for every coffee fan.
Founded in 2002 as a humble coffee cart in Oakland, California, Blue Bottle has spent more than two decades perfecting its craft. Its commitment to freshness, quality, and sustainability has won over coffee lovers worldwide, leading to expansions across the United States, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, and now Singapore.
Blue Bottle’s relationship with Japan has been particularly special. It was the first country outside the U.S. where the brand opened a café, and its presence there continues to grow. By the end of March 2025, another Blue Bottle location will open as a key tenant at Newoman Takanawa, Lumine’s latest shopping destination in Tokyo.
Lumine Co.’s President and CEO, Teruyuki Omote, shared his excitement about the expansion, saying: “Since Blue Bottle first expanded internationally to Japan nearly a decade ago, we have shared a vision of bringing its thoughtfully crafted coffee experiences to new audiences, making it especially meaningful to take this next step together in Singapore, home to a vibrant cafe culture and a growing appreciation for specialty coffee.”
With Singapore’s thriving café scene and a community that truly appreciates high-quality coffee, Blue Bottle Coffee’s arrival is definitely brewing much excitement. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the brand, this upcoming café promises an experience worth savoring—one carefully prepared cup at a time. Now, who’s ready for that much-needed caffeine fix?
