Wunderground Coffee, often referred to simply as Wunderground, is a coffee enterprise headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Its primary location, Wunderground Café, is situated in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The company is known for its unique coffee beverages that incorporate non-psychoactive adaptogenic mushrooms.
Description
Based in Seattle, Wunderground operates a flagship café located at the intersection of 11th Avenue and East Pike Street in Capitol Hill. The interior design of the café features an eye-catching wall installation crafted from knitted flowers, paper, and wood materials. Wunderground’s specialty lies in coffee drinks infused with adaptogenic mushrooms, offering a wide range of selections including affogato, americano, black coffee, café au lait, cappuccino, cortado, doppio, espresso, flat white, Irish, latte, lungo, macchiato, and ristretto. Notable signature drinks include the Brain Wash—a vanilla latte with mushrooms—and the Strange Magic, a dark chocolate mocha enhanced with mushrooms. The café’s food offerings have included bone broths, various bowls, and sandwiches.
In addition to its Capitol Hill location, Wunderground has expanded its footprint by operating within the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. The brand is distinguished by its pastel-toned packaging, which complements its focus on specialty coffee products.
History
Jody Hall, the founder and owner, launched Wunderground in June 2021. The flagship café opened on October 30, 2021, occupying the former site of Cupcake Royale—another venture founded by Hall—in Capitol Hill. Before establishing the permanent café, Wunderground was introduced as a pop-up at Chophouse Row.
In 2022, Wunderground partnered with Salt & Straw to develop three new flavor profiles and collaborated with PCC Community Markets to introduce certified organic coffee and mushroom blends at this Seattle-based food co-op.
The menu was crafted under the guidance of James Beard Award-winning chef Maria Hines.
