The Foodco Group has announced its coffee brand, Jamaica Blue, has opened its first outlet in Singapore, with a second scheduled for mid-September.

Jamaica Blue is this year celebrating its 20 anniversary in Australia where it has 73 cafes, but the brand also has a presence in New Zealand, China and the UAE.

The new Singapore store is located at One Raffles Place in the heart of the financial business district, and the second store will be located at Star Vista, the nation’s prime shopping and entertainment venue in the western central region.

The Jamaica Blue Singaporean breakfast, lunch and dinner menu will resemble that of Jamaica Blue’s current markets, however, due to humid local weather conditions, Jamaica Blue Singapore will feature an extended cold beverages range with market-tailored fruit flavours such as Lychee Iced Tea, Chocolate Banana Cream Frappe and Passionfruit Smoothies.

Hermant Karjadi, director at Foodco’s regional licence partner, Universal F&B, said the Singaporean market is ready and excited for Jamaica Blue’s premium coffee offering.

“The coffee drinking culture in Singapore has developed significantly during the past few years. Today’s Singaporeans are more appreciative of quality coffee than ever before and this appreciation, combined with Jamaica Blue’s unique and prize-winning products is sure to see great success in Singapore,” he said.

The FoodCo Group also operates the Muffin Break and Dreamy Donuts brands, with 360 franchise outlets across Austraila, New Zealand, UK, China and UAE.
