Blue Bottle Coffee has raised another $70 million in funding, led by Fidelity Management and Research.
The high-end coffee shop has locations in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles and recently expanded to Tokyo. In April, Blue Bottle acquired Tartine Bakery, which has its own cult following in the Bay Area, to help expand into other markets.
