Nespresso to open boutique at Edinburgh’s St James Quarter

Nespresso is set to open its first and only boutique in Edinburgh at St James Quarter.

Located on the destination’s third level, the coffee brand’s 1,173 sq ft space will feature its latest experiential retail concept.

The Nespresso boutique will include a ‘Coffee as an Art’ bar, designed to enable visitors to discover the craft of coffee, sample new flavours, and enjoy learn new recipes with classes hosted by the Nespresso team.

Shoppers will also be able to browse Nespresso’s full range of machines and accessories, and a space dedicated to coffee pod recycling.

Chris Pyne, leasing director for St James Quarter, said: “The signing of Nespresso brings another globally renowned name to St James Quarter, reinforcing its position as Edinburgh’s prime retail and leisure destination.”

Anna Lundstrom, CEO of Nespresso UK&I, added: “At Nespresso, we aim to create boutique spaces that bring to life our commitment to innovation, memorable coffee experiences and the craft of coffee, and the new St James Quarter boutique is the perfect place to bring these values to life. Situated in the heart of Edinburgh, we hope it serves as an inviting space for coffee lovers to connect with our brand.”

The signing of Nespresso follows the recent investment from a trio of F&B brands into St James Quarter, with the re-opening of Itsu, and the signings of Black Sheep Coffee and Pret A Manger.
