In a remarkable journey from a single store at Glorietta 2, Makati, to a thriving empire of 200 stores with multiple brands, The Figaro Coffee Group proudly commemorates its 30 years of unwavering commitment to coffee excellence. Since its inception in 1993, the Figaro Coffee Group has grown from strength to strength, expanding its footprint across the nation with diverse offerings that include Figaro Coffee, Angel’s Pizza, Tien Ma’s, and Café Portofino.
The Figaro Coffee Group is not just a coffeehouse; it is a testament to the dreams of a group of passionate coffee enthusiasts who envisioned a space where people could come together to enjoy exceptional coffee and delectable pastries. The name “Figaro” pays homage to the male lead in the opera “The Barber of Seville,” reflecting the European and Italian inspiration behind the brand.
Mr. Ace Azarraga, Brand and Partnership Director, expressed his pride in Figaro Coffee’s journey, stating, “Figaro Coffee is a proudly Filipino coffee chain and is one of the most successful to grow on a global scale. Our vision has always been to support our farmers and promote high-quality, local coffee beans.”
