Café Blue on Holborn Road in New Kingston is the main Kingston outlet for Blue Mountain Coffee — Jamaica's famous high-altitude coffee grown in the mountains above the city and sold at premium prices internationally. The café serves the full range of Blue Mountain grades alongside simpler blends, and the quality of the espresso-based drinks is markedly better than what most hotels in the city serve under the same label.
The Blue Mountain Coffee served here is certified — the origin and grade are verifiable — which matters given the amount of coffee sold as "Blue Mountain" in Jamaica that is blended with cheaper beans or mislabelled entirely. For visitors who want to understand the difference and take home genuine coffee, the café shop stocks properly packaged whole beans in roast levels from light to dark. The café itself is a pleasant spot for a mid-morning break in New Kingston.
