 When I got the idea of trying to do a coffee shop, I was looking on Craig's list for a coffee cart. Not the time, I had like $1,280 in my pocket. I took all the money, emptied my account, went over there with like, please I need this to get going today. He gave it to me for $1,200 and I had like $80 left. You know, I was like, okay, what do I do? And I have no money and a coffee cart and a dream. Like, what's going to happen next? My name's E.T. Rivera. I'm the owner and creator here at Thresstache's Cafe. One day when I was at home, I ran out of milk. And so I had to try to get any type of milk products that I had in the refrigerator. Like this much I haven't had, this much evaporated milk, this much condensed milk. So like mixing all these things together and I made my caramelize it that morning and it was so good. That's how I came up with the Thresstache's and then with the name, I ended up coming to a Thresstache's Cafe. Yeah, this is kind of where it all started. I used to come out here and set up the coffee cart on Saturdays, Sunday mornings. And I think probably there was days where we're making like 50 bucks, 30 bucks. This is our first standalone building. You can even still see the silhouette where our banner was on the building right there. We left a mark on this place for sure. After being there for two years, we took a chance on it coming here and I was so scared. This place, you know, was 3,000 square feet and the house that we're in was like 800 square feet before. How am I going to pay rent at two places? And being like the best decision I ever made for Thresstache's Cafe and for myself and my family. Our customers, they were going crazy for the weeks that we were closed. They were like, can I just come and get a strawberry or a chocolate? Can I come and just get enough Thresstache's from the back? So as soon as we opened up, it's like we never closed. So for the past four years, I didn't even have a website. I'm not super computer savvy. That's something I was like really nervous about but got the website from GoDaddy and it is so easy to use. Who wants to do the laundry? The website is so important to me because it tells your story. You know what I mean? You can put my name out there and give that professionalism that a lot of small businesses seek. I can edit my website for my cell phone. If I want to change something, it's like that. It's phenomenal. What's up? How are you, man? Good, good to see you. Come on in, man. So you've made me this amazing pumpkin cafe or chowder. I'm a sip on this while we take a look a little bit deeper into your website. It's been helping a whole lot. Now we're processing about three to five orders a week when normally we would have either one or none. Whatever my brain was thinking of how Thresa's such as cafe should or could look, that's exactly what you see when you walk through this building. Those are the dreams that I used to have when I had my coffee cart. I sit there and just close my eyes and imagine what Thresa's such as cafe could be someday. I want a Thresa's such as cafe to be like the third biggest coffee chain in America. I have people coming at me all the time trying to franchise the cafe and that's something that I'm trying to do. My goals try to get me a general manager inside here so I can continue to move forward with growing the cafe as a company. Just a few weeks ago, we started selling more Pondosa than we do coffee and we sell a lot of coffee. And on the weekends, almost every other person has their tray stacked up and I'm just like, I don't know how to feel about it because I almost want to cry. I'm like, thank you guys, thank you so much. I didn't expect people to start doing that but they do. The customers come here and they market this cafe every time they come in. They have their cell phones out when they walk in. They're taking pictures. When I'm watching them, while they're walking around the corner, they have their phone on. They're documenting everything. Like there's some magical place they've never been to before and they are. And this is exactly what I created it for.
