Highwire Coffee Roasters

For the volume of customers this place has, the quality is really good. The espresso is balanced, the milk foam and temperature is perfect, and the customer service is friendly and personable.

Best soy lattes ever, anywhere! Also, save 25 cents if you bring your own mug . Really awesome, friendly , knowledgeable people work there, too. And often one of the co-owners will be around!

I was really surprised at how amazing the quality of coffee was here, considering how packed it was, and that it's located in a grocery store , and there's seating outside and a bar to sit at.

The Kouinn Amonn is great! Get it before they run out for the day.

I've had a few conversations about tea and folks have been helpful, not condescending. I was given a free cup to try oolong ($$!) with no concern whether I would buy the box (I did).

Meh. Soy latte had an aftertaste. I suggest walking two blocks to right to hit up Timeless Coffee , or to the left for BiCa- offering Ritual, Ecco, Stumptown (PDX), Verve, Temple , and Handsome (LA).

Awesome local coffee roasters . Get here early in the morning. Otherwise, expect to wait in long lines with soccer moms.

Almost never a wait in the evening- super fast service (unless you're doing some fancy pour-over).

They roast great coffee , but if you haven't tried it, the nitro iced coffee is fabulous

Stellar bean. Fantastic to watch such a dedicated team work their craft. Ode to the java

Get coffee or lattes here. Best in the whole area. Just don't count on a place to sit or WiFi .

Try the Howling Wolf nitro cold brew—it's like a caffeinated, non-alcoholic Guinness .

Coffee is really great! Customer service excellent . Pit stop for vegan donuts

Friendly , efficient, and good coffee ! Across the street from BART so convenient too.

Grab an almond croissant at the bakery while you wait for your latte .

Worth waiting for one of the few sidewalk tables if you want to linger.

Outstanding local roast; zero hype. Great people-watching!

The best coffee I ever had. I keep coming back

Tasty batch brews!

Best soy mocha that you've ever had

Iced coffee is my go to

I feel like everything is slightly extra caffinated here, which I love. Iced soy chai in the summertime with a bit of honey !

Very good espresso

Best Chai Tea Latte I've ever had...

I'm tired of pretending this is fresh coffee

wonderful almond milk latte .

espresso a little harsh

Dynamite espresso .

Tasty latte ; off-campus prices shock me, average nonetheless.

Great pastries !

Triple ginger scones = win!

Kenya Muthunzuni Peaberry rips everyone's drawers off, taste-wise.

The iced coffee was over-extracted and tasted like straight carbon. And there were no "for here" cups, only paper.

Almond Milk !

Gibraltar.

Try the latte . Bring your own mug for 25 cents off.

I always think of this coffee/tea stand as the launch pad to Rockridge.

Summertime, get an affogato

iced chai tea is horrible. absolutely no flavor, even though they made it for me twice.
