73: Andrea Ley went from an IT career to launching her Mexican coffee business on wheels

Immigrant Entrepreneur: Andrea Ley

Andrea worked as an IT professional in Mexico and got an opportunity to work in the States for 1 year, so she took it! She was planning on coming back to Mexico but 8 years later found herself still in the US working at the same IT company. 

At 37 years old she found herself homesick, and missing her family. She also wanted a slice of her hometown by drinking some really good Mexican authentic coffee. But, there was none to find. So, in San Antonio, Texas she went searching for ways to launch her Mexican coffee business. 

Her creativity took her places on wheels, literally. Her coffee shop is mobile, and she drives around in a really nice and retro Volkswagen delivering the best Mexican coffee. 

Olla Express Cafe is completely mobile and Andrea is extremely passionate about her coffee. The cool thing is, she has never opened up a business and her background was in IT, not business. 

Andrea is completely self taught and she brings her grandmother's coffee recipes into her Volkswagen to deliver the best quality and fresh Mexican coffee.
