History

The Figaro Coffee Company was established in 1993 by a group of seven friends who had travelled around the world, sampling many coffee varieties. Wanting to share the fine art of coffee culture they had discovered in Europe, their hobby of brewing, tasting and experimenting with different varieties of coffee soon grew into a business.

In November 1993, the first Figaro Coffee Store opened in one of Makati’s premiere malls. It was only a small kiosk. Since then, the chain has expanded to over 50 coffee shops around the country, as well as in China and the Middle East.

Figaro abroad

Figaro now has two coffee shops in the dynamic, cosmopolitan city of Shanghai. The first is at the lobby of Tian An Centre, located in Nanjing Xi Lu’s bustling business district. The other is the flagship 2-storey branch at Jin Lin Tian Di, a stylish commercial and residential complex, surrounded by dining and entertainment establishments popular with Shanghai’s young and sophisticated elite.

In Dubai, the Figaro Coffee Store is located at the Twin Towers, a mixed-use commercial and residential building at the heart of the business district, where it caters to the city’s executive class. Figaro will continue to open more branches in China, the UAE, the rest of Asia, and other parts of the world.
