Pilot Nespresso Café: A Premium Coffee Shop Experience

Distinctive concept includes innovative retail solution for additional consumer convenience

Nespresso launched a pilot Nespresso Café in the famous Mariahilferstrasse, as part of a joint venture with super premium food caterer DO&CO. This new café boutique concept combines a premium coffee shop and take-away service with the Nespresso Cube, an automated retail solution for the convenient purchasing of Nespresso coffee sleeves, bringing an exclusive and personalized luxury experience to consumers.

"The Nespresso Café is the latest in our pipeline of retail and service innovations. It is a true embodiment of our brand. Not only can consumers indulge in the Nespresso experience, they will also be able to purchase our Grand Cru coffees through our automated boutique, the Nespresso Cube," said Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO of Nestlé Nespresso SA. "Our partnership with DO&CO is highly complementary in terms of their expertise in providing super premium food expertise to enrich the experience."

Continuously innovating in the retail and service arena

The Nespresso Café offers coffee lovers the unique opportunity to indulge in the premium Nespresso experience at their own pace. Perfectly combining aesthetic design with high-end technology, the Nespresso Café boasts high quality materials with elegant lighting and soft music to provide a uniquely refined and relaxing atmosphere. Consumers can taste Nespresso Grand Cru coffees and a range of over 20 tantalising permanent and seasonal coffee recipes prepared by skilled baristas, who will also be on hand to share their extensive knowledge of Nespresso highest quality coffees. These are sourced from the 1 to 2% of the best coffees in the world that match our strict quality and aroma profile requirements.

Consumers can also indulge in a unique selection of savoury and sweet premium delicacies, such as salads, macaroons and pastries, specially created for the Nespresso Café and tailored to each time of the day. The Nespresso Café also proposes its food and beverage options as take-away to cater to Nespresso consumers' busy lifestyles and the desire to enjoy their favourite Nespresso coffee moment while on the go.
