In celebration of the 2024 Olympic Games, Bumble has partnered with GoodNews to launch its inaugural coffee shop, Le Café Bumble, in Paris.
This innovative venue provides a welcoming stop for international guests and Parisians alike during the Olympic Games and functions as a networking station for Bumble users to connect with their matches or simply enjoy a respite between events.
Le Café Bumble features a range of exclusive offerings, including the Bumble Latte—a specially crafted coffee available in both hot and cold varieties. The café also presents an assortment of unique pastries created in collaboration with Copain Paris.
The café's design includes exclusive Bumble-branded merchandise such as tote bags and bucket hats, as well as apparel including t-shirts and long-sleeve tops in Bumble’s signature yellow and classic black and white. Additionally, during its opening, the café hosted a live DJ performance and offered a photoshoot area where guests could obtain Polaroid photos to commemorate their visit.
