H and H Coffee

Dedicated to the history of the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co. founded 1899 in San Antonio, Texas.

Catherine Menger

Wife of Dr. Rudolph Menger; mother of Minnie Menger Hoffmann (later Schlosser), Gus P. Menger, and the other H&H-era Menger siblings (R. W., T. J., L. B., A. G.).

Granddaughter of William L. Menger, the founder of the Menger Hotel on Alamo Plaza — the family link that ties the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company to San Antonio’s landmark hospitality dynasty. This relationship was first surfaced via project research on the Menger family connections and appears in the H&H KB through the Gustav P. Menger and Menger Family pages.
