Ballistic Brew is a travelling coffee trailer with unique drinks, a sense of adventure, and a growing customer base throughout Whatcom County.

The Everson-based business was founded in August 2024 by Jillian Ball, with help from husband Kent, daughter Kenzie, and son Burke. While they originally planned to focus on special events on weekends (they can bartend out of the trailer, too!), their main focus shifted to “daily parks” thanks to customer demand.
“People were kind of starting to crave our coffee,” says Ball. “How it’s evolved in a short amount of time has just been very humbling, very exciting. I’m really in awe because I’ve just received so much support.”

You can find Ballistic Brew in a different North Whatcom County location almost every day, like Lynden, Nooksack, and Sumas. Their coffee is fresh-roasted by LaShaw Ranch Roasters near Spokane Valley, and they use low-acidity roasts, two shots per drink, and lactose-free milk as a standard.
Their menu features Classic Brews, specialty Ballistic Brews like the chocolate and salted caramel Burke Bomb (named after Ball’s son), and Loaded Refreshers made with real fruit, energy, and vitamins, like the tropical and spicy Cannonball.
