Ralph Lauren, a firm favourite here at Van Mildert, have made the unusual switch from clothing to coffee with the launch of their latest venture, Ralph’s Coffee.
The American fashion king, renowned for its authentic preppy style, recently unveiled its first-ever coffee shop on the second floor of the brand’s New York Fifth Avenue Polo Ralph Lauren flagship store, meaning tired shoppers needn't go far for their all-important caffeine fix.
Decked out with a classic American coffee bar interior, Ralph’s Coffee serves up private coffee blends made with organic beans sourced from Africa and Central and South America as well as a selection of specially selected savoury and sweet snacks.
Fans of the brand can even take a little bit of Ralph home with them in the way of mugs, caps, t-shirts and more, all adorned in the white and green Ralph’s Coffee logo.
“The smell of freshly brewed coffee evokes so many memories for me" explains Ralph, “mostly of time spent with friends and family, the people I love. I wanted to develop these coffee blends in that spirit and create a place where people could come together to take a break from their busy days."
