It seems like Blue Bottle Coffee is here to stay in Singapore. The world-renowned specialty coffee chain first landed on our shores last August, opening as a gift shop in the Japanese retail store Lumine Singapore at Raffles City. About seven months later, the space was converted into a full-fledged 42-seater dine-in café, much to the delight of coffee lovers and fans of the brand.
Thanks to its soaring popularity, Blue Bottle now has a second outlet at Paragon Shopping Centre – its first standalone store in Singapore. That’s not all. The brand also has plans to expand and open at least 10 more cafés across the island by 2027, making its artisanal coffee accessible to more Singaporeans.
For now, the latest Blue Bottle café in Orchard seats 70 customers across its indoor and alfresco dining areas, which combined, span a total of more than 980 square feet. The space is decked out in the same iconic minimalist design as other Blue Bottle outlets, with simple yet classy elements of stainless steel, oak wood and terra cotta-toned plaster.
Here, you’ll find the regular range of espresso-based beverages, cold brew and pour-over selections on the menu. And on top of coffee, there are two exclusive food items on the Paragon menu – the Liège Waffle ($8.50) and yoghurt bowl ($12) topped with granola and strawberries.
Those who want to get their hands on Blue Bottle drip (no, not the coffee) can also purchase merchandise like the embroidered Blue Bottle tote ($50), designed in collaboration with Japanese bag brand Ball & Chain and exclusively sold at the Paragon outlet.
This new café is the result of Blue Bottle’s partnership with Malaysian lifestyle specialist Valiram, and the two will be working together to roll out some 10 more outlets over the next two years. In the meantime, you can visit Blue Bottle Coffee’s second outlet at 290 Orchard Road, Paragon Shopping Centre, #01-37, Singapore 238859, from 8am to 9pm daily.
