Coffee Fellows

Coffee Fellows is a German chain of New-York-style cafés focused on coffee to go, rounded out with bagels and snacks. A cozy setting and fast service aim mainly at high-traffic spots — stations, airports, busy streets, and malls. It differs from a classic sit-down café in its focus on coffee-to-go and simple food with the coffee, not long sitting.

As a franchisee you get the brand and recipes, area-manager support, training, marketing, central purchasing, logistics, and help with site selection. Under the lease-management variant the franchisor even finances the build-out of the outlet. What stays on you is daily operations, staffing, and the guest experience. HQ provides the backbone and system; the people and the place are on you.
