Nespresso has officially opened its largest flagship boutique in the world, anchoring a new chapter for the brand at 85 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Spanning nearly 14,000 square feet across multiple levels, the new Nespresso New York City Flagship moves far beyond traditional retail, positioning itself as a destination for modern coffee culture.
Recently opening in December, the space reflects the brand’s reimagined global retail strategy and marks the first North American location to fully deliver this experience-led concept.
The ground floor serves as the entry point, designed around exploration. A self-guided Taste and Discover area allows guests to sample blends at their own pace, while a Coffee Theatre hosts rotating, employee-led masterclasses focused on flavor, technique, and brewing rituals. A barista-led coffee bar anchors the space, offering guidance, tastings, and hands-on introductions to new capsules and machines.
Downstairs is where the flagship becomes more unexpected. The Hidden Cup Coffee Bar introduces an intimate, almost speakeasy-like setting where exclusive recipes rotate throughout the year. The menu leans into emerging coffee trends, including zero-proof coffee cocktails, functionally enhanced blends, and Nespresso’s proprietary multisensory mocktail experience designed to amplify aroma and flavor through scent and presentation.
Also on the lower level, the Nespresso Lounge invites guests to slow down and stay awhile. Equipped with self-service machines and professional-grade equipment, the lounge encourages experimentation and casual skill-building while creating space for community and shared moments. Information on Nespresso Professional machines used in restaurants and hotels across New York further extends the experience beyond the flagship itself.
Upstairs, the boutique rounds out the visit with retail-focused touches, including the full Nespresso lineup of machines, capsules, and accessories, along with a wrapping and engraving station that adds a personalized finish to purchases.
Located in the heart of the Flatiron District, the flagship is now open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the Hidden Cup Coffee Bar pouring in the evenings.
