Today we’d like to introduce you to Elisabeth Martinez.
Hi Elisabeth, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
We are a family of 5 and still growing! We love God, Our family(s) and have a passion to serve our community. The vision of Green Arrow Coffee started before we got married. We know this is God’s business and He has bigger plans that we don’t even know yet.
Here is a little back story on how I (Elisabeth) got started in the coffee industry.
As a teen I always did love creating a variety of drinks and serving them to my family. One Christmas for a gift exchange my older sister and her husband gifted me a $50 Mr. Coffee espresso machine, some cups & syrups. This set up lived in a cardboard box from Aldi in my closet that I would pull out daily.
I was 13 when I sold my first latte at my Mom’s garage sale. The following year, I began volunteering in a Cafe which soon became my first job. My boss and elders had a major impact on me through a very hard season. They poured into me, challenged & pushed me. This led me to learning everything I could about the coffee industry and a passion to pour into & challenge those around me. On 10/8/16 God gave me the scripture 1st Chronicles 28:10 in reference to a coffee shop to serve people and build His Kingdom.
I started a social media platform called Pure Coffee in April of 2017 to share what I was learning about coffee. It gained a following of over 2,500 people.
And now here we are!
We started Green Arrow Coffee in March of 2021 as a booth in the Waxahachie Farmers Market to serve people and build His Kingdom. We then moved into a commercial trailer in 2022 and have been serving public & private events, and the Waxahachie Farmers Market since.
We are excited to continue to walk out this journey for His glory & His people.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not. You do your best, give yourself grace, have patience; and trust God. Always get back up and keep going.
There were many lessons we learned the hard way, like making sure everything inside the trailer is completely strapped or bolted down. Knowing where your best events are and knowing your market. Not allowing yourself or business to be taken advantage of but serving others as unto the Lord.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are a mobile coffee and cinnamon roll caterer located in Waxahachie TX. We use Organic Coffee and All Natural Ingredients to fuel you with the best.
Whether it’s for you or your staff, guests, attendees, or clients!
You can find us every Saturday at the Waxahachie Farmers Market during the Spring/Summer season from 8am – 1pm.
We are family owned and faith based.
How do you think about happiness?
Being with my family and watching my children thrive.
Seeing my customers reactions to our coffee and being a blessing to others, whether they’re my neighbor or client.
