History
Figaro Coffee was established in November 1993 by seven college friends,[3] including Pacita "Chit" Juan and Reena Francisco, as a small kiosk in Quad mall (now Glorietta) in Makati. Juan and Francisco were classmates at the University of the Philippines Diliman, where Juan had studied Hotel and Restaurant Administration. Juan, then involved in her family business, decided to start a coffee shop, something that she had earlier set out with while still in college.[4][5]
