Such a cozy cafe with lively vibe. I was a little hesitant with the menu with no price (as it's kinda touristy location for Alaska cruise destinations), but it was reasonably priced (8oz cappuccino $5 USD including tax and tip) and the staff were very friendly! Coffee taste was decent. Honestly, I visited here to connect with wifi and rest my legs. And I ended up staying a little longer to enjoy the local café vibe. This spot made my trip to Alaska even more pleasant :) read more

The brown butter toffee latte is nothing less than amazing. This was a GREAT drink. The flavors all come together nicely and give it a warm sweet flavor. Even with an extra shot of espresso the flavors stand out. This cafe has delicious bakery items such as the pecan pie bar. It's the perfect size to split between two or even indulge in one to yourself. They have a huge list of syrup flavors and I'm sad I only had time to try one drink here. WiFi and restrooms are available for customers, just ask at the counter for the WiFi code. Very clean and very fast! read more

We were looking for some good coffee while walking around Sitka as a cruise stop. We walked here from the burger and crab shack around the corner and so glad we stumbled upon it. Cute spot to relax and have a hot cup of joe or tea. Lots of choices and pastries to devour. Friendly staff and free wifi! Great to upload photos and check emails. 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

Good bagels but order not prepared correctly. Plenty of staff but they seemed disorganized -- eating, chatting, yelling for help from the back. Coffee shop vibe. 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

Hidden behind the subway... a block or two off the waterfront. Highliner has modern sleek feel once you get inside. Full coffee bar with knowledgeable baristas. A good variety of savory and sweet treats. Coffee is good, blueberry scone is good. Customers and staff all look happy. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

First off, the owner is incredibly nice here, unfortunately the business is up for sale, hopefully the future owner will continue the business model.
