Hola! We are Olla!

In 2017, I started feeling homesick, thinking about my life, my family, my country and my culture; craving cafe de olla, so it made me realize that having just a cup of that Mexican elixir, I would feel better. Talking to myself, I was thinking: why don't you make it for you and for others that feel the same way you do? Immediately after, I thought “Well, you have an opportunity in front of you to make a bunch of people happy that may also be looking for a little piece of their hometown too”.

 I started talking about it with my beloved ones and matching the idea with how good the recipes from Abuelitas could be to use in my new venture, so then I talked to my Abuelita and asked for her recipe after I explained to her my idea, so she told me her recipe with so much passion that I fell in love with the idea to gather different recipes from my sibling's and  friends’  Abuelas too, so that's how we came up with a very traditional menu, compelling old Mexican recipes from decades ago.

Now, I feel so excited to share those precious flavors made with coffee 100% from Mexico with all of you, offering new options to drink your coffee every morning and also introducing new traditional beverages that nobody should miss! 

After a long journey building the concept and brand to develop some products, we specialized in cafe de olla. In 2023 we opened our coffee shop in downtown San Antonio conveniently located by various iconic locations around San Antonio. Whether you visit the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA), admiring the beauty of Hemisphere Park, or walking the historic Hays Street Bridge, we’ve got your coffee needs covered. We’re located in the heart of the River walk and just five minutes away walking distance from the pearl district. Come visit us to have a great experience from the moment  you cross the doors of what we really love to call: La Casa del Cafe.
