Ashley Davis and Miguel Hernandez, owners of 5AM Drip
5AM Drip is arguably one of the more offbeat coffee shops you'll find around Fort Worth — perhaps the only place you can get orange juice with a shot of espresso, tofu breakfast quesadillas, and a jackfruit barbecue sandwich off an all-vegan menu. Then there's the location: the multicolored shipping container development, Connex, on Evans Avenue just east of Interstate 35.
The shipping container is cool-looking and all, but owners Ashley Davis and Miguel Hernandez admit it has its limitations, particularly when it comes to kitchen space and seating. The duo currently do all their cooking and coffee-making within a 164-square-foot box, with seating only available on the patio and another shipping container adjacent to the shop.
So, 5AM Drip is looking to move — launching a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising $75,000 to help fund a bigger space.
