Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters

Editor's Review

Partners in both life and business, owners and industry veterans Trish Rothgeb and Nicholas Cho founded Wrecking Ball first as a roaster, then as a retailer. The café found a permanent home in Cow Hollow, alongside locally owned boutiques and eateries, which opened in 2014. An intimate space with very limited seating, customers like to pose on the benches for a #pineappleselfie, featuring pineapple wallpaper by Hygge & West's Rifle Paper Company. 

Wrecking Ball’s counter extends from the espresso machine to the main attraction: the pour-over brew bar. A design that’s inspired similar brew bars around the world, its custom-built, stainless steel tray features inset Acaia scales and Cho’s own dripper invention, the December Dripper. If you’re not feeling up for a pour-over, try one of their seasonal selections. And in case you’re wondering—the company was named before the famous Miley Cyrus song.
