Nespresso x Blue Bottle Coffee pop-up
When cult coffee brand Blue Bottle Coffee opened in Singapore, it’s safe to say that we went wild. In short order, a standalone cafe cropped up at Paragon, and now, they’ve teamed up with none other than Nespresso, bringing their signature blends to Singapore’s capsule coffee market.

Now, to be clear, this collab is not new. The 2 hype brands first partnered up in 2023, initially releasing Blue Bottle’s “Blend No.1” in the USA before then bringing it to other markets. In 2025, they launched the NOLA Style Blend, which finally hit Singapore shores last week on 1st April, alongside the Bold Blend.
All of the collab capsules have only been made for Nespresso Vertuo machines, which use Nespresso’s trademarked Centrifusion tech to make coffees with lush, foamy crema.
When & where is the pop-up?
Specially created for the release of these two limited-edition capsules here, the Nespresso x Blue Bottle Coffee pop-up was unveiled last week, and will run till 12th April at 265 Beach Road.
To help you get your bearings, this is next door to Bird of Paradise, just down from Haji Lane.
Do take note of the pop-up’s opening hours as follows:
- 6th-10th Apr: 11.30am to 7.30pm
- 11th Apr: 10.30am to 7.30pm
- 12th Apr: 10.30am to 6.30pm
What can I expect at the pop-up?
Free Nespresso x Blue Bottle Coffee drinks

Possibly the best part of this pop-up are the free Nespresso x Blue Bottle Coffee drinks that you can enjoy – though you should note that there are only 350 free drinks daily, while stocks last.
This is your best opportunity to sample the blends in a way that best highlights their tasting notes: pick from a NOLA Cold Foam Oat Latte, Bold Blend Cappuccino, or Bold Blend Long Black.
DIY your own keychain with NOLA-inspired charms

Come early, because the NOLA Charm Bar is also a while-stocks-last kind of activity, where you can design your very own NOLA -inspired keychain.
Snap a pic at the photobooth
And then, loot in hand, head over to the photobooth, where you can cop some printed shots to commemorate your time at the pop-up.

If you’ve bought yourself a Blue Bottle Machine Bundle ($399), inclusive of a Limited Edition Vertuo Pop+ Blue Bottle, 10 capsules each of both blends, and the TRAVEL Tumbler Blue Bottle, make sure to show it off in your photostrip too.
Listen to vinyl records or chill
When you’ve done all that, pop over to the NOLA Vinyl Listening Corner to enjoy your cuppa alongside some specially curated beats. Otherwise, there’s also the NOLA Lounge to lean back and chill at.
To finish your experience, if you didn’t already start there, the Blends Trace station lets you stamp coffee-inspired prints on NOLA postcards, and discover the journey that the beans have taken to you.
Get your cuppa at the Nespresso Blue Bottle Coffee pop-up
With less than a week left of the pop-up, you’ll want to make your way there ASAP if you want to sample the exclusive brews. You can also purchase the capsules at any Nespresso boutique while stocks last, but sampling is not available.
