Nestle-Owned Seattle's Best Coffee Is Trying to Force a Local ...
The conglomerate claims Seattle Strong is infringing on its trademark.
seattle.eater.comHere’s the latest I found on Seattle Coffee Co: the company’s recent visible updates are mostly about expansion and new store openings, including a new café in Castle Gate, Pretoria, and a Swakopmund, Namibia location opened at the end of 2025.[5][9]
What’s happening
Seattle Coffee Company’s own site and social channels show continued growth across South Africa and Namibia, with the brand still positioning itself around specialty coffee, in-house roasting, and new store development.[8][9]
Recent public mentions
There hasn’t been much mainstream news coverage specifically about Seattle Coffee Co in the last few months. The most recent broadly indexed items I found are company posts and site updates rather than major press stories.[9][5][8]
Not to confuse with
Some search results on “Seattle coffee” are actually about a different business, Seattle Strong, which has been in the news over a trademark dispute with Nestlé; that is not Seattle Coffee Co.[1][2][4]
Would you like a tighter roundup focused on openings, menu changes, or company ownership?
