Our story - Jamaica Blue NZ

Our Story

Our brand message

Born on 1st October 1992 and growing globally, we’re named after the Jamaica Blue Mountains, widely regarded as home of the best coffee in the world.

Whilst an international brand, we are locally owned and operated and thus have a strong love for our local community and giving back.

We have great seating options, perfect coffee, seriously good food and refreshing service for any feeling, any occasion and any excuse to escape and refresh with us.

We look forward to serving you soon!
