History[edit]
With funds amounting to ₱50,000 pooled from a personal loan to a college professor and pawned jewelry, Ronnel and Farwa opened the first ever branch of Farron Cafe beside the University of the East Manila in February 15 of 2010. The branch is a food cart without tables or chairs that served Frosty Frappe, Iced Coffee, Smoothies, and Milk Tea. It became a huge hit to the students.[1][2]
The second branch opened soon after the next month. Thus, the two received advice to take a bigger loan to open a bigger shop. After pawning their gadgets and jewelry, the young couple finally pooled ₱100,000. Their funds went to leasing space in Manila to house the third branch of Farron Cafe. In 6 months, they recovered their initial investment which they reinvested.
For their staff, Farron Cafe opened its arms to Out Of School Youths. They were trained to be a barista to serve customers.
In 2012, after receiving several inquiries, Farron Cafe opened itself for franchising. Farron Cafe has then offered several franchise packages for different markets.
