The service was exceptional! The prices were great for how large my breakfast was. Highly recommended a croissant breakfast sandwich or a bagel with shmear! The coffee was smooth and tasty. Great vibes everywhere! read more

Maybe it's the coffee snob in me, but I thought the coffee here was very average. I usually base coffee shops on whether or not I can make a better cup of coffee. In this case, I absolutely make a better latte than Highliner Coffee. We came here as Sitka was the first stop of the cruise. The shop itself was not too big and has a drive through. There was a long line which made sense because everyone from the boat wanted coffee! The prices aren't listed on the board which was kinda weird. But when we placed our order, a 12 oz hot latte was just under $5. I think $4.75 if I remember correctly. The latte came out fairly quick, but the flavors were lackluster. It tasted like watery milk with a splash of espresso. It was quite disappointing. However, this might be the only place that does coffee in Sitka. If that's the case, my brother and I might move here and start our own coffee shop haha. Anyways, would I could back. Nope. But it was worth trying nonetheless. read more

Great place to hang while you're roaming around Sitka. It's a less than 10 mins walk from where you get dropped off the cruise shuttle area. Service was friendly and we didn't wait too long for our order. We enjoyed each of the drinks we got which were: chai latte, matcha latte and house coffee. We also had a bluberry danish which was okay. read more

Loved stopped here....small shop nestled in behind another restaurant. Good seating. Greeted warmly by person behind the counter. Although they were busy, they helped me out a lot with my order. Loved that! Gotta do the smoked salmon cream cheese over a bagel. Excellent!. Coffee isn't strong but flavorful. Didn't have to add anything to it. read more

Great coffee shop with a great cozy feel in Sitka. We stopped by while in town during our cruise and stopped in to get our day started. It was a bit busy but the line moved fast. The drinks were great along with the pastries, this place definitely didn't disappoint. I bought one of the espresso dark chocolate bars they had for sale and it's amazing. read more

Highliner Coffee - Locations sign - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

We stumbled upon Highliner Coffee in 2023 when we were in Sitka for a fishing trip. Not knowing anything about this small town, we relied on Yelp, social media and local recommendations on where to go. We fell in love last year with Highliner Coffee and in 2024, on our 2nd visit to Sitka eagerly returned. What's not to love about this place? Their Coffee and teas are phenomenal (I believe they roast their own beans), prepare freshly baked pastries and desserts daily, prepare delicious bagels and breakfast burritos and have some of the friendliest staff on hand to make your experience special. While everything at Sitka seems to cost more- I found thr pricing at Highlighner to be fair. On our recent trip, we came here daily- sometimes twice per day. We got our breakfast fix of coffee and tea with a bagel or burrito then returned in the afternoon for more coffee and a pastry! It's best to come in the morning when they have plenty of everything- as towards the afternoon their sweets are much limited. There isn't alot of parking here and we usually park on the street. They do have drive thru service which seems popular , but we enjoy sitting in their cafe (free WiFI and the speed is good)! It's definitely worth giving Highliner a try and I look forward to our return next year!!! read more

Cute and cozy coffee cafe shop. We were craving a coffee fix since the free coffee on the cruise and "Starbucks" shops on the boat weren't doing it. We found this place and boy oh boy do they serve a solid coffee. If I'm ever in this area again I would definitely come back. The husband got a white mocha and I got an ice vanilla latte. Best coffee in Alaska we have had. The service was friendly and had great recommendations. Wish I had this brewery closer to home so I can have it on the regular. read more

Glad we found a good coffee joint during our first day at port off the cruise ship. A decent walk to get to, but several signs guided us there. Not the most pedestrian-friendly parking lot though, as we were very confused which way to enter/exit by foot. I would have ordered a pastry too, but didn't see any prices and there wasn't the best selection out at the time so I passed. The coffee was excellent though. Wish we could go back! read more

Stopped in to get some hot coffee while ported here on our cruise! We were looking for a nice place to grab some hot coffee and get out of the cold! We ended up meeting the owner and she was so friendly! When ordering, the staff helped us pick their specialty, the highliner latte and it was delicious!! If we cruise to Sitka again, we will definitely be back!! read more

Amazing baristas and really enjoyed my sugar free s'mores syrup! They manage the crowds well too

Well-who knew it would rain in Alaska in May.?. So when cold and wet, stop for a warm drink! 3 lattes & 1 chai what could go wrong----well 2 out of 4 were correct. So 50/50 at best. It was nice seeing gluten free treats. Overall---beggars can't be choosy. And they have the market cornered in the little town. Best of luck. read more

My personal temple while I worked in Sitka. The coffee is great, and comes out ABSURDLY fast. And it's so damn hot, you won't be able to drink it right away. The also have some phenomenal food that rises above the usual baked and processed goods. Specifically, the have breakfast sandwiches that would put most dedicated restaurants to shame. The only sad thing is...they rarely have them in stock, at least while I was visiting. They also have breakfast burritos that are, again, restaurant quality. Space is always fresh-faced and happy, the exact type of people you want to interact with in the wee hours. read more

The drive up service is so nice to have in a small town and the staff is cordial efficient and knows the products well if I am looking to accommodate dietary need. I often have my hot breve in my hand before they tell me the total. A team that works together with smiles on their faces, even when it's sunny. We have so few sunny days that most of us are grumpy when we have to work. A 5 star experience. read more

Nice place for coffee, pastries, and conversation. A bit hard to find but worth the search.

First off, the owner is incredibly nice here, unfortunately the business is up for sale, hopefully the future owner will continue the business model. Employees are friendly, the selection is larger than any starbucks I've been to, and they have food specials as well. It always has a line at the drive through and always has customers inside as well. Went there every morning I was in Sitka read more

A fun local coffee shop. Good tasting drip coffee and lattes. Nice people. Comfortable seating.

Clean little coffee shop. Coffee is pretty Damn good, small amount of food choices are better than expected, remember that's coming from the picky fat guy. My wife had the breakfast burrito, she liked it but didn't love it, but it's a coffee shop burrito so pretty good I just had a cinnamon roll, it was O.k.

A little difficult to find, but maybe we were coming in from the back side. Large open space inside with free wifi with purchase (they give you a code). Bathrooms available and lots of "stuff" to purchase, like t-shirts, cups, etc. When I ordered the Highliner Latte, the clerk was new and still training. Her sweatshirt said Linfield College, which is in Portland, Oregon, so I asked her if she was attending college there, and she politely smiled and said yes. I didn't order any food, as I'd had enough to eat for the next week or two on the cruise ship. The Highliner latte was excellent, though. There's always room for good coffee. Nice place to catch up on emails, relax and have an espresso based drink. read more

The coffee here was excellent and the focus of the coffee shop is environmentally-friendly and fish-awareness friendly. This place appears to be the only coffee shop in Sitka. There are a number of tables that allow you to sit and enjoy your coffee (and pastry). Some of the tables have interesting designs on the surface. This coffee shop is a little difficult to find if you rely on the address alone as it is in the back of a small strip mall. You could easily walk right by it and miss it if you were not looking out for it. As we were drinking our coffee we saw both locals and tourists. This is definitely the place we will come to for coffee next time we are in Sitka. read more
