Proud To Be Unique

Welcome to The Blue Marble, named after the iconic Blue Marble photograph of the earth taken by Apollo 17, which “sparked the need for sustainable development to care for our planet.” 

Proud to be local, yet universal in appeal.

Leicester locals and space enthusiasts alike find a uniquely Leicester sense of pride in the café—where global exploration and local charm collide. It represents the best of both worlds: the local warmth of a community café wrapped in the scope of international ambition.
