“The smell of freshly brewed coffee evokes so many memories
for me, 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
and take a break from their busy days.”

How It All Began
Ralph Lauren’s first-ever coffee shop opened in 2014 in New York
City. Overlooking Fifth Avenue in a historic building on the
corner of 55th Street, Ralph’s Coffee evoked a sense of the
timeless American spirit of the Ralph Lauren brand with a fresh,
bright, authentic atmosphere. With its charming vintage feel,
Ralph’s Coffee provided a welcoming and comforting space for
busy New Yorkers and visitors to enjoy a cup of coffee. Guests
could also enjoy freshly made desserts baked by The Polo Bar,
which opened in same year in the lower level of the building.

world in the form of cafés, coffee trucks, kiosks, and trikes.
