We are excited to announce that our Kamakura cafe is opening on Friday, May 29.
Our design for this special cafe was inspired by the scenery of the Ancient Capital, Kamakura, and brought to life by Yasuo Imazu of ninkipen!, marking his first cafe design for Blue Bottle Coffee. Upon stepping inside, your eyes are drawn to the striking stainless steel ceiling. Inspired by the glimmering light and shadow of a lotus pond reflected beneath the pilotis ceiling of the Tsurugaoka Museum, it delicately mirrors the cafe’s atmosphere. Throughout the space, the lighting and select walls feature washi paper dyed with coffee, while the sofa fabric is rendered in hydrangea hues, evocative of early summer in Kamakura. By weaving the essence of the city’s history and culture with signature Blue Bottle materials, we have created a space uniquely tied to this destination.
Tucked away from the bustling streets, just down a quiet path, a sanctuary awaits. We invite you to embrace the local charm of Kamakura and enjoy a beautiful moment with our carefully crafted coffee, a food menu thoughtfully prepared to complement your cup, and a space designed to slow down.

Address: 1F Phil Park Kamakura, 2-8-34 Komachi, Kamakura, Kanagawa

Our newest cafe has opened where the historic Onden River once flowed — Blue Bottle Coffee Harajuku Cafe.
Designed by Tatsuya Nishinaga of Teki Design, this sophisticated space features a gleaming stainless steel facade that abstractly reflects the ever-changing spirit of the city.

Our newest Signature Origin lets you sip from the heartland of Colombia. Introducing Colombia Huila Pedro Nel Trujillo.
This coffee represents the best of Colombian coffee and holds its regional qualities — bright floral and fruit notes that balance the sweetness of the origin. It’s washed processed in the traditional style for this region. The effect is a balanced body with profound sweetness that carries through each sip.
We’re proud to continue to work with our sourcing partner Azahar and producer Pedro Nel Trujillo.

This Earth Day, we’re looking toward the future and sharpening our focus on the area where we can drive the most meaningful change: coffee production at the farm level.
Over the next several years, we are committed to supporting producers as they transition to regenerative agriculture and to elevating their innovation as they navigate a changing climate. This year, we launched a beekeeping project in Peru to bolster local biodiversity and improve producer yields. We’re also sponsoring a precommercial trial site in Guatemala as part of World Coffee Research's F1 Hybrids program aimed at developing the next generation of climate-adaptive Arabica varieties.
And on the home front, our Blue Bottle Studio tour continues to explore the future of flavor by showcasing climate-adaptive coffees entirely beyond the Arabica species.
Keep an eye out for these innovative coffees as they arrive in our cafes for the first time later this year. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3OVq41K?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhfacebook&utm_content=app.dashsocial.com%2Fbluebottle%2Flibrary%2Fmedia%2F665489810
