Haight-Ashbury roaster founded by a man born on a Nicaraguan coffee farm.

Aquiles Guerrero was born on a coffee farm in Nicaragua, was a barista by twelve and a roaster by eighteen. His coffee career in San Francisco began in the late 1980s at his family's shop, Martha and Bros. Coffee. The Stanyan Street roastery was hand-built, mostly from reclaimed wood.

Flywheel took over the Golden Gate Park kiosk in 2020 and opened a branch at 22 Battery Street in 2024. In October 2026 its web shop lists Flyblend, an espresso blend developed for the shop.

At this shop

The shop fills the ground floor of a four-story apartment building on Stanyan Street, with two black-framed windows facing the trees across the street. A roasting room and a green coffee store sit behind the bar, and a wooden deck patio with a wine barrel lies out back. Siphon brewers and a wooden cold drip rack stand along the bar.
