I used to frequent Saint Franks up the street on Polk. Wrecking Ball has demolished my desire to go there by comparison. The staff: Dylan, Roe, Karina, Fabiyone, Lee, and JT all emulate a similar vibe (apologies if i misspell ya'lls names). I've never felt shamed for making a mistake on my order. They've never made me feel that I need to tip, and when others "forget" to tip - they humbly, venerably, and with such nonchalance write it off as not a big deal at all. BTW ya'll who pretend to not see the tip screen. You may want to factor that into your price of coffee. Especially when comparing the overall price at Wrecking Ball to options up the street. Just saying, be kind and tip your barista just as you tip your bartender. The reason the staff doesn't bat an eye at the lack of occasional tip. Is because they're like the friend who shows up to help you move, claps for you at your graduation, and/or offers a warm smile as a guest at your wedding day. They see the bigger picture and love watching the community flourish around them. Their espresso machine is best in class and category, their skills are the top within a 200 mile radius, and their hospitality is similar to what I've recieved at Michelin 3 restaurants. I even met a group from Jakarta, Indonesia there. Celebrating their countries independence day. They were all fully dressed in cultural attire - so, I asked what they were going to do to celebrate? They said "we heard this place was the best so we came for a coffee and that's how we'll celebrate". We then talked about the world class coffee beans in Sumatra, how undervalued Indonesian labor is, and how the world is changing for the better overall. That conversation could only occur at a place like Wrecking Ball. Thank you all for the Dirty Chais.

Cute neighborhood cafe. Pour over was not as good as I wanted it to be, but I am sure their espresso drinks are great

Enjoyed my latte here. The seasonal rose syrup was a nice addition.
