Singapore’s coffee scene just got a major upgrade.
Blue Bottle Coffee has officially arrived! Yes, the cult-favourite brand from the US has finally opened its first-ever cafe in Southeast Asia, right in the heart of LUMINE Singapore.
If you’ve ever scrolled past those ultra-aesthetic Blue Bottle cups on Instagram and wondered what the fuss was about, now’s your chance to find out.
Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore is a whole vibe.
The open-concept space lets you watch the baristas work their magic while soaking in the natural light.
As self-proclaimed coffee addicts (no shame), my co-workers and I obviously had to be there to see if it lived up to the hype. Spoiler: We left caffeinated and slightly poorer.
Let’s talk numbers. Blue Bottle’s drinks don’t come cheap, most start at S$6.50 and go up to S$10. If you’re the type to cringe at a hefty price tag (lowkey same), you might need to brace yourself.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s on offer:
For espressos, it ranges from S$6.50 to S$9.50.
And, other coffee options include Gibraltar (S$7.50), Drip Coffee Blend (S$10), Cold Brew (S$7.50).
There are also non-coffee options like Lemon Yuzu Fizz ($8.50), Matcha Latte ($9.50), Kimino Sparkling Peach Juice ($7.50), and more.
We got their Latte (S$8.50), Mocha (S$9.50), and the must-try Nola (S$8), a creamy, easy-to-drink blend that’s a Blue Bottle signature.
What’s coffee without a good pastry?
Blue Bottle Coffee Singapore sources its bakes from Bakery Brera, offering a mix of croissants, kouign-amanns, caneles, and pain au chocolat.
We tried the Triple Cheese & Turkey Croissant (S$8) which was perfect for savoury lovers. With the layers of turkey ham and melted mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan, it was a perfect combination.
But the real stars are the Singapore-exclusive treats: Coconut Kouign-Amann (S$8) and Pandan Canele with Kaya (S$6).
And, as kaya lovers, we also did get the latter. As a personal preference, I did enjoy this more but it was on the sweeter side (my coworker somehow thinks it wasn’t sweet though).
Also, before you leave, don’t forget to check out their retail section!
You’ll find exclusive Blue Bottle goodies like coffee beans, brewing equipment, instant coffee, and matcha kits, with prices starting from S$8.
If you’re ready to splurge a little for a premium caffeine fix (and a great photo opportunity), it’s definitely worth checking out.
However, our pockets do feel emptier (admin can’t wait for her next paycheck).
Now, who’s up for another round?
