Our story - Jamaica Blue Australia

Our Story

We opened our first café in Miranda, Australia, on 1 October 1992, taking our name from Jamaica’s Blue Mountains — widely regarded as home to the best coffee in the world.

For over 30 years, Jamaica Blue has been bringing people together over exceptional coffee, fresh café favourites and warm hospitality, driven by our craft and passion for good food and coffee. Today you’ll find us across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, United Kingdom and the Middle East — and in every café, the welcome is the same.

The best moments in life aren’t always the big ones — they’re the ones in between. We’re here to transform those everyday moments into something worth savouring, pouring our hearts into every cup, plate and moment.

It starts with our award-winning coffee, crafted with care for that perfect first sip.

Our cafés are made for pause, connection, or recharge — and our people make you feel like you belong. Wherever in the world you find us, we’re proud to be part of the community we serve.
