Warner Bros to open first FRIENDS-inspired Central Perk Coffeehouse in 2023

Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and CenPer Holdings will be opening its first Central Perk Coffeehouse in 2023.

Inspired by the Central Perk coffee shop seen in FRIENDS, Central Perk Coffeehouse will be a place for FRIENDS fans to ‘slow down and come together over great coffee and eats’.

“Central Perk is more than just a coffeehouse, it was a home away from home for our six favorite FRIENDS,” said Peter van Roden, SVP of Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment.

“Working closely with the CenPer Holdings team in creating this fresh, yet familiar environment, we’re looking forward to giving fans a Central Perk of their own — coffeehouses that captures the heart of the show while delivering a first-class coffee experience.”

Ahead of the launch of the first site, Warner Bros has launched a range of Central Perk Coffee inspired by the show. The coffee collection includes How You Doin’?, Pivot Blend and We Were on a Coffee Break.

“Our goal with this partnership and the Central Perk brand, like all of my food and beverage enterprises, is to secure the best ingredients and then deliver superior products and services for a great customer experience,” said CenPer Holdings Partner Tom Colicchio.

“With Central Perk, we can’t wait to offer friends old and new a really enjoyable premium cup of coffee and hope they settle in with us for the next chapter of this beloved story.”

The first Central Perk Coffeehouse location and opening date will be announced soon.
