“London has a thriving coffee culture but Café Nespresso is a unique premium café experience. The UK is fast becoming a nation of coffee experts and as we grab our morning latte we want to know it is personalised to our tastes. Café Nespresso will offer 11 distinct blends of coffee, which we source from among the top two percent of quality coffee grown worldwide. Our Maestros will guide customers to find their perfect drink from a large array of recipes and combinations, creating an entertaining experience for all,” said Francisco Nogueira, Managing Director of Nespresso UK & Ireland.

Experience the first digital and fully automated Nespresso Boutique
Café Nespresso will feature the UK’s first Nespresso Cube. The N Cube, which has been successfully launched in seven other countries, is an automated self-service boutique, where customers will be able to buy the range of 24 Nespresso Grands Crus and Limited Edition coffees. The innovative machine prepares personalised multi-product orders in minutes, thanks to a robotised order-picking system.
The Nespresso Cube contains up to 4,800 sleeves of all the Nespresso Grand Cru coffees for the home. Club Members will be invited to enter their Nespresso Club Membership number or online login details to access their personal Nespresso accounts and purchases can be made with a credit or debit card.
As part of our sustainability commitments, a recycling collection point will be available for customers to return their used capsules. Over 5,000 collection points are now available throughout the UK and customers can also organise for a collection of their used capsules directly from their home. Sustainability is embedded into our business and begins on the coffee farms, where we work directly with more than 70,000 farmers through our AAA Sustainable Quality Programme to improve economic, environmental and social impacts for farmers and their communities.
“Café Nespresso is the latest innovative experience from Nespresso. The new Café is designed with our customers in mind and aims to provide a unique and exceptional café experience. Combining gourmet cuisine and high quality coffee, Café Nespresso is an experience like no other and one tailored to contemporary living.
