Meet Mr. Marlon Belardo, an entrepreneur from a family owned business in Cavite with humble roots of coffee trading in the 80s, to having his own brand, the Tropical Brew in the 90s and now into more than a decade of roasting! 😍
Belardo Coffee Enterprises holds onto its heritage as one of the longest running family-owned coffee miller in Amadeo, Cavite. It was a long road behind BCE before it reached its success today, but all because of the hardwork, perseverance and dedication of Mr. Marlon Belardo it all became possible.
Their pioneer brand, Tropical Brew has found its permanent home when Kaffe Belardo was built in 2010. A homegrown café that’s within BCE’s compound which has welcomed several tourists from Oklahoma, China and other parts of Asia and of course, the Philippines.
In 2014, they have expanded competency in the industry through its acquisition of a coffee roaster which has significantly increased its market reach. In just 5 years (2019) it has already upgraded to a much larger equipment and continuously, skillfully crafting every coffee it produces.
Belardo Coffee Enterprises is one of the assisted MSMEs of DTI Region 4-A Calabarzon and DTI Cavite through its Kapatid Mentor Me and Great Women Project.
