The Birth of Random Cravings
Embedded Files
Random Cravings came in a very unexpected time—in the time of pandemic. It started as a small venture that delivers comfort food during lockdown.
During the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in 2020, it was difficult to buy food that people crave especially those from fast food restaurants. We thought of giving access to food for our Kababayans in Laurel, Batangas through the concept of Random Cravings.
In a very challenging time, the venture has also allowed relatives from around the world to connect with their loved ones at home by sending them food. Through Facebook, people can place their order and have them delivered to their family and friends who live in town.
On July 19, 2020, Random Cravings turned into a small café which doesn’t only deliver good food but prepared them. It offers boba tea, fruit tea, coffee, rice meals, pasta and snacks.
Lieann Lara
The She-EO
Lieann was growing her travel agency business when pandemic hit. Having a heart of an entrepreneur, she decided to shift to food business through Random Cravings when the right opportunity came. She's fond of cooking and the best selling tapa is her recipe.
Jenn Lara
The Business Partner
Because of Jenn's passion for cooking, she immediately became interested when Lieann offered her to be a business partner. She was so hands-on until she left for Canada in August 2021. The famous Random Cravings Sauce, carbonara and spaghetti are her recipe.
Nica Lara
The General Manager
When Random Cravings opened in 2020, Nica was tapped by her sisters to manage the cafe. She's a foodie and that's the main reason why she also enjoyed being involved in the business. To pursue her dreams, she left for the UK in September 2021 to practice her profession as a nurse.
Dalisay Cousins
The Team
The Lara Sisters also involved their cousins in running Random Cravings Cafe. It provided them jobs as they were hired as barista, kitchen staff and delivery crew. Their close personal ties has helped them run the cafe smoothly.

Random Cravings in 2025
Until today, Random Cravings Café remains to be a happy place for the people in Laurel, Batangas. Now owned and managed by married couple Merald and Lieann, this charming little cafe has become a second home for locals seeking comfort, conversation, and a warm atmosphere.
For the Albinos, running the cafe isn’t just a business—it’s a shared passion that allows them to grow together while bringing joy to others. With each cup of drink poured and each meal served, they continue to build something truly special—one sip, one bite, and one heartfelt conversation at a time.
