Liberty Hill, Texas – Brandon and Kayla Kollmorgen have opened a new coffee shop called Bebop Coffee, quickly becoming a favorite among local residents. This unique establishment operates from a mobile trailer, which can often be found at the Liberty Hill Food Truck Park and in various locations around Liberty Hill. Their commitment to quality coffee and creating a welcoming community atmosphere has resonated with the neighborhoods they serve.
Bebop Coffee Shop is located at 112 CR 214, conveniently situated near QT and Cart Castle. The Kollmorgens have designed their shop not just as a place to get coffee but as a hub for musical appreciation and community gathering. They aim to foster connections through their love for coffee and music, embodying the charm of Liberty Hill.
Brandon and Kayla, both educators, met while teaching high school marching band in Arizona. Their journey into the coffee world was sparked after Brandon’s former student began roasting coffee, which ignited their passion for learning about the craft. In July 2022, the couple relocated to Texas to be closer to family and seized the opportunity to open their own coffee shop.
The couple has curated an “artist menu” that features drinks named after renowned jazz musicians, which underscores their love for music and its history. Some of the popular offerings include:
- The Birks: A delightful blend of caramel, vanilla, and mocha drizzle inspired by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie.
- The Bird: A refreshing mix of white chocolate and almond paying tribute to the iconic Charlie Parker.
- The Weather Report: A surprise drink that changes based on the barista’s mood.
In addition to serving great beverages, the Kollmorgens are dedicated to giving back to their community. They recently donated a day’s sales from Bebop Coffee to support the Liberty Hill High School band and the tennis team. This act reflects their commitment to not only bolster local initiatives but also contribute positively to the thriving community of Liberty Hill.
Brandon and Kayla have been diligent in financing Bebop Coffee without incurring debt, relying on their savings to launch the business. Like many entrepreneurs, they have faced challenges along the way, such as an espresso machine breakdown during a winter freeze, which tested their commitment to quality and dependable service.
Bebop Coffee Shop emphasizes core values such as honesty, preparation, and relationship-building—principles the Kollmorgens instilled in their students during their teaching careers. The shop sources local beans from Austin and utilizes locally crafted syrups to ensure that their products reflect the regional culture and tastes.
The shop operates during the week from its location at the Liberty Hill Food Truck Park and actively participates in local events, making it a key player in the community’s social scene. In the near future, the Kollmorgens plan to expand their operations by opening a brick-and-mortar coffeehouse that would serve as a venue for young musicians to perform, promoting local talent and creativity.
To stay updated on Bebop Coffee Shop’s locations and activities, customers are encouraged to check their website or follow their Instagram page. With their unique offerings and focus on community, Bebop Coffee is well on its way to becoming a beloved fixture in Liberty Hill.
