History

Founder and owner Jody Hall established Wunderground in June 2021.[7][14] The company's flagship cafe on Capitol Hill, called Wunderground Cafe,[15] opened on October 30, 2021.[5][8] It is housed in a space previously occupied by Cupcake Royale, which was also founded by Hall.[16] Ahead of the shop's opening, Wunderground was a pop-up in Chophouse Row.[17]

In 2022, Wunderground collaborated with Salt & Straw on three new flavors.[18] Wunderground also partnered with PCC Community Markets to launch new "certified organic coffee and mushroom blends" at the Seattle-based food cooperative.[19]

Wunderground's menu was created by James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef Maria Hines.[20]
