Why do we standout

In-House Coffee Roasting
We select the highest quality beans and roast them ourselves in Lisbon, ensuring a world-class product.
Beyond a Cafe
Unlike most specialty coffee franchise formats, we offer not only coffee and bakery items but also a full-fledged breakfast restaurant with an average check 2-3 times higher than that of a typical cafe.
Unique Atmosphere
Each of our cafes features a unique design, yet the brand's distinctive traits are always recognizable. Guests are often moved to exclaim, "Wow!"—this is an integral part of The Folks experience.
Versatile Signature Menu
Our breakfast and brunch menu is comprehensible on any continent, featuring both seasonal and permanent beverages. The entire menu is halal, with options for vegans, vegetarians, and those who are gluten-free.
Coffee Expertise
Specialty coffee enthusiasts can always come to us to try new offerings from renowned roasters, as we enjoy sharing our expertise and showcasing the latest trends.

People visit us not only for the flavors but also to take photos and share their experiences with friends. Regular visits to The Folks have become a lifestyle choice.

Our GUESTS

The target audience of The Folks are individuals with an active lifestyle who have a refined taste for coffee and follow current trends. They are frequent travelers and have visited various coffee shops and cafes in major global cities. Therefore, they have discerning tastes, and we strive to meet, and often exceed, the standards of food, beverages, and service found in world-class establishments.

Our target demographic predominantly ranges from 20 to 35 years old, though we cater to a diverse age group, including both older and younger patrons. Given our locations in a tourist city, a significant portion of our guests are families and couples on vacation. These visitors seek a memorable breakfast experience.

They generally have a moderate to high income level. It is crucial to recognize that they visit not only for exceptional food and coffee but also for the unique atmosphere and ambiance that we  cultivate. This includes a welcoming team, pleasant music, distinctive interior design, thoughtful touches, and the opportunity for visually appealing social media content.

General investments

The investment needed to establish The Folks varies based on factors like location, size, format, necessary equipment, and condition.
The investment will encompass establishing a turnkey cafe, involving the execution of a lease agreement, procurement of equipment, and interior design.
If managing a business is not your preference, but you are interested in receiving dividends, we can accommodate this arrangement as well.
We will support you throughout the entire process to ensure you have all the necessary resources to launch and operate The Folks effectively in your city.
To assist in estimating your project, a calculator has been developed to determine the projected construction cost, KPIs, and PNL for your project.
