San Antonio coffee spot Olla Express launches GoFundMe for owner injured in crash

San Antonio coffee spot Olla Express has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help raise funds after its owner was injured in an auto accident. Owner Andrea Ley suffered bleeding in her brain and a lower back injury in the Feb. 24 accident, according to a March 1 social media post from the business. With the possibility of surgery looming, local realtor and Olla Express regular Silvia Alcaraz created a GoFundMe campaign to help with medical bills and repairs to the company's distinctive Volkswagen Combi bus. Ley and Olla Express are largely credited with introducing café de olla — a Mexican coffee prepared in a traditional earthen clay pot — to San Antonio in 2019.
