Third Wheel Coffee started in 2021, when two baristas raised in San Francisco began serving coffee from an eleven-foot electric coffee tricycle. From 2021 to 2024 they ran a mobile bar built from a vintage liquor cabinet, taking it to farmers markets, weekend pop-ups and many kinds of events. Today the business runs a coffee bar at 991 Oak Street in San Francisco's Lower Haight. The menu includes espresso drinks, cold brews, non-coffee drinks and seasonal specials that change through the year. All syrups and concentrates are made in-house. The coffee comes from Bird & Bear Coffee and the pastries from Saltwater Bakeshop, two small San Francisco businesses. Their website doesn't currently describe event bookings, so planners should contact them directly to ask whether they're available.
