Liberty Hill – A new mobile coffee trailer named F3 Coffee & Tea opened on May 1, 2025, in Liberty Hill, aiming to serve quality coffee while fostering community connections. The business is the brainchild of two firefighter families, Nathan and Tina Olson, alongside Blake and Taylor Smith, who have combined their entrepreneurial spirits to enhance the local coffee scene.
Located in the P&R Propane lot, F3 Coffee & Tea is committed to creating a welcoming environment for patrons of all ages, particularly families and young people. Despite facing some delays during the launch, the supportive attitude of the landlord helped facilitate the opening. The trailer does not offer a drive-thru option, which may pose an inconvenience to busy customers, yet it welcomes visitors with friendly service and quality beverages.
F3 Coffee & Tea places emphasis on community engagement as a core element of its operation. The founders are dedicated to the principles of faith, family, and the firefighting community, reflecting those values in every aspect of their business. The initial soft opening for family and friends garnered significant enthusiasm, particularly from the local first responder community, highlighting the support and camaraderie prevalent among those who serve.
Signature Beverages and Sourcing
As part of its unique offerings, F3 Coffee & Tea features a signature drink called the “Structure Fire,” which is crafted with toasted marshmallow syrup. Another popular choice is “The Cuban,” an iced espresso drink that combines sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and half & half, appealing to those who enjoy rich flavors. All coffee served at the trailer is organically sourced from Peru, a decision influenced by the previous owner who established a connection with Peruvian beans.
Operating Hours and Future Plans
F3 Coffee & Tea operates six days a week, from Monday to Saturday, between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m., providing ample opportunity for customers to enjoy their beverages throughout the day. Looking ahead, the owners have aspirations to expand their operations into a permanent location to better serve their growing customer base.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In fostering a community-oriented business, the owners of F3 Coffee & Tea encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to seek mentorship and actively listen to customer feedback. By cultivating a culture of engagement both in service and business practices, F3 Coffee & Tea sets a precedent for what can be achieved with a focus on hospitality and local connection.
Community Focus and Engagement
Understanding the importance of inclusivity, Tina Olson and Taylor Smith are passionate about creating an inviting space for children and teens, which reflects their desire to strengthen family bonds within the community. By establishing a venue where community members can gather, socialize, and enjoy high-quality coffee, F3 Coffee & Tea aims to become a local staple.
As Liberty Hill residents continue to embrace this new addition to their community, F3 Coffee & Tea stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the positive impact that local businesses can have on their neighborhoods.
