In a city saturated with latte art and minimalist interiors, HustleBlendz Coffee is rewriting the Fort Worth coffee shop playbook.

Co-founder Tweety Angwenyi didn’t set out to build a coffee empire. He and his wife, founder Patrice Angwenyi, were both teachers when the idea first brewed — literally — in their one-bedroom apartment.

“She kept saying it day after day,” Angwenyi said. “Then I looked up and she had already found someone to do the logo. So I was like, I guess we’re in.”

What began as an e-commerce brand quickly evolved into a 148-square-foot shipping container café. No seating. Seven-person max capacity.

“If it was hot outside, it was hot inside,” Angwenyi said, laughing. “If it was cold outside, it was definitely cold inside.”

But the grind paid off. In 2024, HustleBlendz opened its brick-and-mortar location in Fort Worth’s 76104 zip code.

“We’re not just here to serve coffee,” Angwenyi said. “We’re here to build community.”

HustleBlendz isn’t your typical artisanal café.

“We’re the most untraditional coffee shop in Fort Worth, and we’re proud of it,” Angwenyi said.

Their drinks are crafted to taste as good as they look, with house-made syrups like brown sugar and salted caramel.

“We wanted to make sure the coffee not only looks great but also tastes great,” Angwenyi said.

The brand’s deeper flavor comes from its acronym: HUSTLE—Help Us See The Light Everywhere. That light, Angwenyi said, is the light of Jesus: “We’re bold in our faith and bold in our coffee.”

With midterms looming, HustleBlendz offers TCU students more than caffeine.

“It’s the perfect study spot,” Angwenyi said. “Put on your headphones, settle in, and we’ll bring your drink to you. No shouting names. No confusion. Just cozy vibes.”

HustleBlendz is designed to feel like a second home.

“We want to know your name,” Angwenyi said. “We’re not rushing you out the door.”

For TCU students juggling midterms, side hustles and the occasional existential spiral, HustleBlendz offers more than caffeine. Whether you’re cramming for finals or just craving a fall brew, this coffee shop proves that community can be brewed in small batches and served with purpose.

“This shop is personally tailored to those who want to have a conversation,” Angwenyi said. “We’re here to impact this community.”

And judging by the TikTok and Instagram buzz, the impact is brewing.
