Seattle's coffee scene never disappoints -- and Wunderground Café in Capitol Hill is proof. This cozy spot blends adaptogenic mushrooms with seriously good coffee for drinks that taste as good as they make you feel. The vibes? Chill, creative, and perfect for a solo work sesh or catch-up with friends. I tried their signature 'The Good Egg Breakfast Sandwich' with bacon, egg, cheddar, provolone, roasted garlic aioli, tomato jam and arugula. I also had a mushroom super boosted cappuccino with their "Brainwash" add in and loved the earthy, smooth flavors -- no weird aftertaste, just pure comfort in a cup. It's crafted from a blend of Reishi, Chaga, Lions Mane and Cordyseps - Reishi helps with stress and sleep, Chaga boosts immunity and fights inflammation, Lion's Mane supports focus and memory, and Cordyceps increases energy and endurance. There are varieties that you can add to your daily coffee or smoothie or even to teas and juices. If you're curious about functional mushrooms or just want to try something new, this place is worth a stop read more

Fast forward 3 months and my husband and I came in to Wunderground for breakfast. I have one thing to say via my husbands mouth regarding the breakfast sandwich.... 10/10. Puck was absolutely AMAZING! He was so patient and friendly, Wunderground far exceeds anything you would get at the Starbucks place. The decor is also cool to look at. So, if you would like to fry something different and better than that chain store, then please visit Wunderground, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

Wunderground is a very pretty coffee shop that specializes in mushrooms added to coffee. The at and layout of the shop is very aesthetically pleasing, and it's super light and airy. I noticed a lot of people were in to work/be on laptops, so that gives you some idea of the atmosphere and noise range. I gave it a middling rating because I'm very skeptical of the "powers" of powdered mushroom. I didn't realize they had such good looking breakfast options! I'm sure I'll be back to try those, which look very good for a variety of dietary needs. read more

i really want to like this place but i feel like it's just not it. i want to give kudos to it bc it's the only place in seattle that sells mushroom coffee, and i think i need it for my digestion, but either you don't taste the mushroom at all or you taste too much of it and it's overpowering to the drink. the people are nice and knowledgeable, though, and i like the space. read more

The aesthetic is what I imagine most millennials would wanna design their dream home to be like. The mushroom coffee just wasn't it, it did kick well but taste was mad lacking. Ordered a cold brew and it tasted like an americano. Would come back to study and cram for exams. Cut approved read more

When I came here, the espresso machine was sadly out of order, but they had it back up and running quickly. The baristas were super friendly and kind, and I just got some work done in their space until the machine was back in order. The ambiance is great for working from for a few hours: there is ample table space and strong wifi. I had a latte, which was served in a mug since I was eating in. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was solid and served quickly. I also ordered an egg sandwich, which they happily put on sourdough rather than brioche for me. The egg patty was absolutely delicious! It was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. read more

Really cool concept for a café, where all drinks are a little mushroom-infused. I think I really wanted to like it more than I did because it was cool, but in the end the mushroomy taste (which I love in most food) wasn't quite what I was looking for in my coffee. Small bites were excellent though! The shop is also a nice place to sit down and get some work done, with some ambient noise from being in a great location, while also not being too loud during the day. read more

The performance pick-me-up that was needed after a long Labor Day weekend was fueled by Wunderground Mushroom coffee + mushroom toast. A coffee shop crafted for intentionality and care of product is what I can always get behind. The orders are quick, it's as calm as the medicinal mushrooms that are fused into various menu items, and the team is friendly as can be. read more

WHEN: Tues @2pm I wish I knew of this place sooner to come and hangout and do some work. They actually have outdoor seating, it's just in the back, and it's super zen back there! This shop is so wunder-fully decorated it's so much fun. I'm such a sucker for nice package and branding so of course it's what drew me inside. Since this was my first time, the barista was kind to give me a low-down of their mushroom infused coffees. Check out their website to learn more. Samples were provided too! So I went with: BRAIN WASH LATTE - 16oz - $6.50 I'm no coffee connoisseur so I can't really tell you how these tasted. I thought it was a fine latte that tasted something slightly different than your average cup of joe, but now in a bad way! This cafe also serves food and sweets, and I can see how one would just come here for the full day to enjoy and get work done! Next time Seattle, next time. read more

I was Lowkey wired off of this coffee but it was delicious. I also don't drink coffee, and this was a great flavor. I got the cinnamon maple latte with mushroom extract. My drink came up to $9 which was a bit pricey in my opinion, but I thought it was tasty and was perfect in sweetness. The employees were really nice, I think we accidentally swapped a $1 and $20 but I didn't want the bad karma so I popped right back over to hand it back haha. They're really nice in helping you decide what is good or not. If I didn't get the cinnamon, I would've tried the lavendar. The coffee shop is very popular so it can be hard to find a seat, but it's worth a try once! Also taught me the nice effects and healthy influences that types of mushroom extracts can be for the brain! read more

Super cute cafe! I got the mushroom toast and blueberry matcha latte. The mushroom toast had crispy bread and a thin layer of hummus.

Cute cafe. Got the strawberry matcha latte 8oz. Was a little over $7 for the tiny cup which is kind of pricey and the matcha was a little grainy. You get more strawberry flavor than matcha, though you can still taste the matcha and it's not bitter which is nice. Service was very fast but I also went at a non busy time. read more

SEATTLE - In town for a family thing, missus and I noticed this mushroom/coffee joint down the street from where we're staying. Monday morning, 830, very quiet - we were only customers in the brightly lit, bright-decor joint. Clean, quick service, I like my 12 oz. Strange Magic Mocha ($7.75) - sweet but not cloyingly so, like a Starbucks speciality drink, a slight earthiness to the coffee; wife's Brain Wash Latte was smooth and not too bitter and nice presentation. We'd both return. It is a bit pricey, but for an occasional cuppa joe, I'd recommend. read more

Eccentric local cafe with delicious food and drinks! This place sets themself apart with their twist on classic coffee drinks that include medicinal mushrooms. Order the Brain Wash espresso drinks for the full experience - I personally can't taste the mushrooms myself. They also have a cute info brochure at the entrance with more information, and some products for purchase if you are looking to explore more at home. On the weekends, this place gets pretty crowded during late morning/early afternoon, but people will filter in and out. There are seats out in back patio for warmer days too! I love coming here to both catch up with friends and to relax. read more

I had the Brain Wash Latte with oat milk. Very tasty. And pleasant staff (though I wish he had mentioned the oat milk was 75 cents extra). Nice space for working. However, I will not order this again. $7.75 is just too rich for me. Will be a one-time experience. read more

Nice interior. There is a lot of seating. Great place to chat or do work. There really isn't anything special about this place. I got the matcha latte with oat milk and my friend got the cold brew. It wasn't too sweet, but it did taste a bit watered down. I wouldn't be dying to come back, but it was a nice place to sit in during a cold day out in the area. read more

Great vibe. Lovely service and people. Fabulous patio out back (dogs allowed there). And coffee with mushrooms for your brain. Wohoooo They make slated chocolate chip cookies in house.

Such good coffee! I got the drink that was on the menu made with oatmilk and was iced. Totally forgot the name BUT it was very, very good!

Really clean spot with fast service and mellow vibes. read more

I'm not one for mushrooms. Like at all. That being said, this coffee doesn't taste a thing like mushrooms. I didn't even notice them in my espresso or my coffee. Like, I don't know why you'd go to any other roastery with this place up the street. After having this coffee I felt more energized but I didn't crave more coffee afterwards. It was just a really great experience. Try it, you won't regret it. read more

I saw that Wunderground opened back on Halloween, but I had a spontaneous visit on 12/2/21 after a brief text thread with founder/CEO Jody Hall on LinkedIn. I admire her as a visionary with her professional acumen from Starbucks, Cupcake Royale, Goodship, and now Wunderground. Pro tip: Found 2 hour street parking down towards Cal Anderson Park, but exercise caution as a pedestrian when crossing at 11th and E Pike - nearly got run over in mid-sidewalk! Once I entered the cafe for the first time, incredible wow factor regarding the interior! Various seating configurations, merch wall (perfect for the holiday season), bright and amazing wall art, lots of natural light, pastry case and other menu items available, plus welcoming counter staff and baristas. I was able to try a Strange Magic, dark chocolate syrup infused with adaptogenic mushrooms, steamed milk (choice of regular or oat) with beautiful latte art crafted by an upbeat barista. I was able to hang out for a bit to experience the cafe vibe and even received a sample of their focaccia. This mocha and focaccia sample hit the spot! It was one of those middays where I felt a bit out of sorts and needed to get out and be among humanity. This was the perfect solution. read more

I've been meaning to try Wunderground for the longest time because of their specialty mushroom coffee and nice interior. I got the Brain Wash latte with oat milk. While the mushroom flavor was subtle to the point of being almost undetectable, the latte itself was solid, though a bit on the pricey side. The barista mentioned that the mushrooms are mixed with cocoa powder and vanilla, so there is an extremely faint taste of cocoa. Whether it was the mushrooms or just a placebo effect, I did feel more focused while working on my laptop in the coffee shop. The apple turnover was a highlight--warm, flaky, and delicious, definitely a treat worth coming back for. The service was exceptional, with a friendly barista who even brought my pastry to the table, enhancing the already great vibe of the place. Though the Brain Wash might not be my go-to every time, the overall experience and ambiance make Wunderground a spot I'd return to. read more

This coffee shop is awesome!! We worked here for a day while visiting the city. Their vegan hot chocolate was one of the best I've ever had! My gf also very much enjoyed her mushroom coffee, and she can be boujee about coffee. Lol The service was great! They were super friendly. Yelp had an offer for a free coffee, and the girl at the counter let me get a second hot chocolate (which costs more) as my freebie. I was very happy! Lol They played a fantastic music selection (r&b and some older hip hop). It was just a teeny bit too loud to be conducive to work calls. There was an outlet at the booth we sat in so we could charge phones and laptops. I would go back again for sure! read more

Drinks are pretty good. I couldn't really taste the difference of the mushroom but I don't think you're supposed to. My companion and I were both satisfied with our drinks. Service was very efficient and kind. They answered all my questions about the mushroom coffee, that I'm sure they get hundreds of, with great patience. Ambiance is cool. It's a nice space to work but they close on the earlier side. The motif of mushrooms is carried out throughout the decor and to the back patio area. WiFi is stable enough for most work activities and no one bothers you. read more

On the walk here I was already scared Cap Hill's latest cafe was going to be a rip-off.. but after seeing Wunderground's mushroom lattes pop up everywhere, even in my office cafes, I knew I had to give it a try. First, the positives--the space is massive and beautiful, with lots of seating in the front that opens into outdoor seating in Chophouse Row. There are lots of fun mushroom decorations on the walls and even a mushroom outlet plug I noticed! I also appreciate how this cafe offers pretty substantial food options-- --except substantial would be an inaccurate term to use. I shied away from the toasts since I saw reviews that they would be overpriced, but I got a couple of "appetizers" that I thought could whet my appetite. I got the cauliflower, egg, and shiitake mushroom bacon -- for ~$3 each, I got a paltry quantity of each. Unfortunately, the quality didn't make up for the quantity, as the roasted cauliflower was pretty soggy. I will say the mushroom bacon was pretty unique. The final disappointment was the mushroom vanilla latte. It straight up tasted bad, and I struggled to finish my drink. What more, after drinking it, instead of feeling any positive health benefits I got a headache and felt quite odd. Definitely a trendy spot, but I would come here for vibes and vibes only. read more

Really disappointing customer service encounter with brunette barista with septum piercing while visiting Wunderground on 4/6. Overshadowed the entire experience. Will not be back. Was very excited to try this rad mushroom coffee from Jody Hall (i'm a big fan of her other business Cupcake Royale). I planned our trip to Wunderground to a TEE, just to be met with a rude and honestly mean barista. After we said our drink order, she immediately turned away from us (to the cold brew tap ?) and didn't say anything so we tapped our card and I waited there to see if I would get a receipt or if she was ready with the drinks she was pouring. When she turned back around and noticed I was still standing at the counter she rolled her eyes and said "go over there" with a scowl motioning to the coffee bar. Okay...so I went to the coffee bar where she pointed to. A minute or two later she came up to us and said "I need to change the tap. I'll call it out when it's ready" with another scowl and motioned for us to move away from the coffee bar too like we were also bothering her to stand there ? Anyway, everyone else who had ordered seemed like they were having fun and enjoying the cafe while we were feeling confused and offended by this person's attitude towards us. When other people's orders were ready, their names were called out-- NOT ours, just "two iced brain lattes." My partner and I were dumbfounded as to why she was dismissive and rude towards us while everyone else seemed happy and felt welcomed by the staff. We were the only people of color in line at this time BTW. Will not return to this cafe, we hardly finished the drink because the whole encounter left a bad taste in my mouth. I think it was tasty? Place seemed cute and well decorated? Didn't get a chance to take the coffee or cafe in, just felt awful spending money and tipping 15% just for the barista to be mean to us and make us feel unwelcome. TLDR: one of the baristas is MEAN and made us feel unwelcome while the white customers before/after us were treated kindly. Worst customer service experience i've had in years. Would recommend u order online if u want to try the coffee, coming here made us feel like crap. read more

Good food, great atmosphere, decent coffee. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a hot and an iced Brain Wash, a filtered coffee, as well as a Spicy Portobello Sandwich. The espresso drinks were very tasty. I am very picky about the vanilla in my iced drinks and this was lovely! Very vanilla-forward but not overpowering. The filtered coffee was...not my thing. My partner liked it, but I took one sip and said "no thanks". The sandwich, however, was SO good! While I certainly not call it spicy (I would give it zero out of five stars for spice level), the ingredients were fresh, the pickles tart, and the focaccia soft. I am absolutely ordering that again if I return. Also the wifi was SUPER slow. There were probably 10+ people with laptops when we were there and it was obvious Wunderground's network was not fast enough to handle that kind of use. It wasn't unusable, but it's something to note especially since a lot of people obviously use this cafe as a study space. The good thing is that the decor is so pretty and whimsical that the time it takes for your page to load gives you a chance to appreciate it. read more

I just tried a normal filtered coffee with a splash of oat milk ($3.50), it was slightly tangy but all over solid!

I really like the cute and colorful aesthetic of this shop. It is VERY cute in here! I do like the unique aspect of mushrooms in the drinks and learning about the mushroom purposes. I had ordered a matcha latte which had a mushroom symbol next to it on the menu. I did enjoy the taste of the latte, which had the "umami" flavor and wasn't too earthy or too sweet. I thought this was just "ok" though because not too far from finishing, the drink was "chunky" with matcha on the bottom and sadly I did not have a chasen with me to mix it up. Maybe request for this to be mixed well. Perhaps this would not be my experience if I had the drink there and maybe not the case for all other matcha lattes made. So far, experience here was "ok" but definitely open to return to try coffee and other menu options. read more

Uber cute cafe located in Capitol Hill. The theme and the central focus seems to be mushrooms. The inside is absolutely adorable, and they have a variety of mushroom infused drinks. I'm usually not a big coffee drinker, but the strange magic was delicious. It's a mocha drink, but with some dark chocolate and adaptogenic mushrooms. The person working the front counter suggestion the focaccia and the cinnamon pastry. Both were also delicious as well. Next time I am looking forward to trying out the avocado toast and other treats they offer ! read more

Admittedly when I first heard of this cafe, I had some skepticism. I thought it was just another cafe that was riding on the trend of adding adaptogens to drinks. And it soooorrt of still is, but they've executed it so well that I let my gatekeepyness down. I really dig this place! The ambience is lovely, and you can tell there's been an incredible amount of effort put into the ~* vibe ~* of this spot. Their deco are more like art installations, which are fungi-themed. I got the Strange Magic with decaf espresso and oat milk. It was really freakin' tasty! It had that umami mushroom flavor, but it really added to the drink and made it unique. I asked afterwards what mushrooms they added, and it was lion's mane and cordyceps. I did feel a bit of an energy boost from the cordyceps, which uhh, maybe wasn't the best thing to have at 3pm if I wanted to sleep at night So here are my gripes with this cafe: 1) There's hardly any transparency as to what mushrooms you're drinking. It's such a missed opportunity to have cool info graphics or descriptions of the benefits of the shrooms. And isn't that the selling point of adaptogens to begin with? It'd be cool to know that, for example, Strange Magic was good for studying because it increases brain function and memory, as well as give you a boost of energy to power through a study night. 2) I'm not 100% sure on how the coffee is served at this particular cafe, but I don't like that the mushroom coffee bags are ground coffee. I think in the cafe, they grind whole beans separately and then add mushroom extract because I was able to get decaf with mushroom in it. For the take-home bags, I get that it makes mixing the mushroom powder (hopefully extract and not just straight raw powder--I think it's extract bc the mushroom flavor was pretty apparent to me) more even, but I feel like I would be sacrificing coffee flavors. There's plenty of powdered adaptogen extracts that can be found, so if I were interested in making my own adaptogenic blend, it wouldn't be too hard. The shop seems to be aware of this, so they sell whole beans. But honestly I'd be more likely to buy extract powder if they offered it. 3) It is pretty expensive. Expect to pay $6-8 for a drink. It does have more benefits than the average latte, but DAMN that's kind of a lot. read more
