The Australian-born chain, which launched in 1992, has 130 outlets in seven countries, with 17 in all in the UK. It’s so-named after the iconic Blue Mountains of Jamaica, one of the most renowned areas of coffee production in the world.
The chain also has its own special coffee blend, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, which it will be brewing on-site.

Josh Nixon from Jamaica Blue UK said: “Jamaica Blue’s foundations are built on two simple beliefs that guide us in everything that we do. Firstly, a belief in sourcing the very best coffee, and secondly, only using fresh, premium ingredients to deliver contemporary café dishes with a twist.
“We’re thrilled to be opening at Manchester Arndale on November 10, and excited to share our high-quality coffee and delicious menu with Manchester’s foodies!”
On the food side of things, it serves wraps, bagels, oven-baked dishes, cakes and all-day brunches, prepped daily in-house.
Scott Linard speaking on behalf of the Arndale said: “It is great to welcome such an innovative and fast-growing chain like Jamaica Blue to Manchester Arndale. We place great importance in providing a strong food and beverage offer at Manchester Arndale and we want to ensure we provide the best choices for our shoppers and visitors.
“It is also pleasing that this letting to Jamaica Blue comes off the back of several exciting new food and drink arrivals at the centre alongside some significant retail and leisure lettings over the past 12 months. We hope to share more exciting news over the next few weeks as we continue to make Manchester Arndale the home of the most popular UK and international brands.”
