In January 2020, the flower company BOTANIC moved into Blue Bottle Coffee Nakameguro Cafe, and subsequently opened the flower shops ex. flowershop & laboratory and Lift in the same building. Starting this summer, we will be producing the decorations for Blue Bottle Coffee Nakameguro Cafe and through various collaborations, we aim to make the entire building an oasis for the local community and propose new value.

Blue Bottle Coffee Nakameguro Cafe will be reborn in collaboration with the flower company BOTANIC, with the desire to "provide guests with an opportunity to live a thoughtful life that will nurture a richer heart."


Since its opening in 2016, Nakameguro Cafe has been operating under the theme of "nurturing people who enjoy coffee," providing not only a cafe space but also a training room and workshop space, and proposing new ways to enjoy coffee through new connections and experiences born through various collaborations. Through these efforts, we came across "BOTANIC," a company whose mission is to "update the floriculture industry and bring happiness to those involved with flowers and plants," and which is tackling industry challenges such as complex distribution and excessive waste, and challenging the industry to become more sustainable. Since our founding, we have operated a cafe that values sustainability while pursuing deliciousness. We were impressed by their mission and efforts, and hoped that our collaboration could further enrich the daily lives of Blue Bottle Coffee customers. Starting in January 2020, they will be gradually moving into the second and third floors of the cafe.

This summer, BOTANIC selected several varieties of plants, primarily delicate ones, with a wide variety of colors and shapes, for the Nakameguro Cafe, creating an even more comfortable space. Enjoy watching the plants grow and blend into the space over time. We have also prepared various events, including flower gifts and limited-edition menu items, to enrich your lifestyle throughout the building. Nakameguro Cafe offers opportunities to enrich your daily life through coffee and plants. We look forward to welcoming you.
