The company was first launched as an independent roastery by brothers Evan and Colin Fry in 2020, complimenting a preexisting, separate brick-and-mortar coffee shop in Donegal, Silver Horse Coffee. In 2022, Standing Wave launched a coffee truck to expand its reach to travel around the various neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.
