History

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

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

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