    Was strolling down Solano and had a matcha craving. I heard that this place was really good, so I decided to swing by. I loveeeee that there is a flower shop right next to it. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful. I could picture myself getting up early and grabbing a matcha and reading a book here. The staff were very attentive to my requests and super nice to everyone. People were bringing their dogs and it felt like great community energy. As for the matcha-- woah!! It was so so good. The depth of the matcha was immaculate. You could tell it was not watered down and it definitely kept me a little too energized afterward. I can't even complain because it was so delicious. I would come here again.

    Super cute, located at Flowerland Nursery. We got the strawberry milk latte (my friend always orders it, it was my first time here)! They described it kind of like cereal milk, which I agree with, I personally couldn't really detect strawberry flavor. It was a more milk forward latte but good! I don't think they had straws. They have a unique menu! Fun to get a coffee then walk around the nursery. A local food company was also doing a food pop-up on site. Easy to get street parking for us today even on a Saturday morning. Would go back if in the area!

    This place has a beautifully creative location in a nursery on Solano Avenue. They are usually pretty busy, but given the cute location it's for a good reason. I've been here a few times before, and liked their Mexican Mochas. However, this time they no longer have that drink special, so I settled on a regular iced oat milk mocha. For $8, I was actually pretty disappointed. The mocha was super watery and i could barely taste the coffee. I can't recommend this spot for their mochas, however hopefully they have better options in the future.

    Funny enough, I've been to Highwire on multiple occasions with other friends but never as a customer. Craving a chai, I made a beeline here while walking my puppy. I'm happy I was able to finally try their well-received drinks and that I could take my puppy too since they're dog-friendly. The atmosphere here is immaculate! They operate out of a small coffee shop trailer inside of a nursey. There are a couple of tables, chairs, and benches in front of the trailer to sit at. It's so peaceful sipping on your drink, chit-chatting, all surrounded by flowers and trees. Customers are always happy and smiling and dogs are always so sweet here! I found the service to be super chill and friendly. My drink was made at record speed which was appreciated! My best friend told me long ago that this was her favorite place to get a chai. So of course, I had to get one! I opted for an Iced Masala Chai with Oat Milk. This chai got me wired--​it had a great blend of spices, bold, and aromatic. For chai lovers, this is a fantastic one. For those who prefer a weaker and creamy chai, this might not be for you. I'd come back again to try their other chai offering or a matcha latte! Highwire Coffee Roasters has multiple locations throughout the Bay Area, this one in particular is found inside of Flowerland Nursery. It's the perfect one-stop shop to browse or buy plants and grab a cup of coffee or tea! Find the trailer tucked to the left after entering. Parking is ample and free on Solano. I'll be back again and again and will be sure to bring my friends and puppy!

    Highwire Coffee at Flowerland - Heartfelt Service & a Hidden Oasis Highwire feels like one of those rare gems you stumble upon when you're not even looking--tucked quietly inside Flowerland Nursery, it's easy to miss if you don't know where to look. As someone who appreciates structure and planning and also values warmth and meaningful experiences, this place hit both marks. When I first arrived, I wasn't aware of their operating hours--there was no clear signage at the front, and being attached to the nursery added a bit of confusion. That said, I noticed a group of patrons gathered around the coffee shack, which reassured me that I was in the right place. What truly stood out was the staff. I placed my order just five minutes after closing, unknowingly, and not only did they still take my order, but they did so with genuine kindness and absolutely no rush. That small gesture? It says everything about their customer service. I felt compelled to apologize once I realized, but they made me feel welcomed regardless. Their energy was calm, patient, and sincere. I ordered a cortado, and it was crafted with care--bold yet balanced, just how I like it. It came out quickly, and it was exactly what I needed after wandering the nursery on a warm day. There's a quaint seating area near the shack, and you're also free to walk through the nursery with your coffee in hand--something about sipping coffee while surrounded by plants just felt grounding and comforting. They also offer pastries and light bites like empanadas and bagels, which I made a mental note to try next time. The whole experience was quietly beautiful--no over-the-top flash, just solid, heartfelt service and quality coffee in a peaceful setting. Hours of Operation: Monday-Sunday: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

    I was in the area and I needed to get my Matcha for the day and saw this place. What a very cute place to serve coffee within a garden nursery. This is just my vibe. It was pretty crowded for a Sunday morning, but I guess it was the usual Sunday morning crowd. It's definitely a neighborhood favorite as I drank my Matcha latte with straw syrup. I walked around the nursery, looking at plants and all the cute things they were selling. I am a shopaholic by nature so I had to refrain from looking at things I don't need. I definitely don't need another plant to bring home. If I were to spend a Sunday morning, just being by myself, I would have definitely sat down and drank my Matcha amongst the green babes.

    A friend referred me to this coffee shop. It's next to a plant store. It's outside you just order at the cute little airstream. There's a couple chairs and tables but it's really grab and hold. I ordered a rose latte and my husband ordered a vanilla latte. My latte was okay there was nothing about roses it. No taste or rose petals so I was a little confused. The taste was a little strong. My husband's coffee was pretty good. Overall we had an okay experience.

    I adore this place. It is all outdoors so it's especially nice to go on non-rainy days. Great drinks. Lovely nursery views. Tasty pastries. (Note to management: I do wish you carried breakfast burritos or something more substantial for those of us who are very hungry in the morning).

    I was very surprised to discover that Highwire Coffee Roasters had a very cool location within the property of Flowerland! What a perfect location to enjoy a latte or a great cup of coffee!

    This has got to be my new fav coffee spot in Albany!! It's outdoors, and with cute tables/seats located inside the plant nursery. Seemed like dog friendly as well (if your dog is well behaved of course). Had actually never tried Highwire before. It's a smooth coffee specially the espresso. I ordered a seasonal "cocktail" style ice espresso with a hint of watermelon. I waited around 5min, so the service on a Sunday morning was lightning fast. Great and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!

    Cute place with lots of seating (not enough for me to sit tho). Espresso was good but I had come…read morehoping for Arabic / Turkish coffee :( Even though they didn't have what I was after, I still recommend this cafe as it is very clean, cute, and seems a good place to work on your laptop.

    so glad i decided to try jaffa finally !! the sweetest barista, allyson, was so kind & walked me…read morethrough the menu. came at the perfect time (2pm ish on a wednesday) so it wasn't too busy and allyson could really take her time talking w me im so indecisive but came in w an open mind, ended up choosing the strawberry sage creek & asked allyson to choose a second drink for me. i've never gotten 2 sweet treats at once like this !! that's how freaking good everything on the menu looks, i had to try more than one drink !! loved my iced SSC w oat milk (vegan cold foam btw !!), def hits the spot if you're craving coffee, want a lil sweetness but not too sweet-- the flavor of the midnight in jerusalem espresso in the SSC has the perfect mild/muted flavor for someone who wants an iced specialty coffee w/o the heavy coffee flavor (comes normally as "medium sweet", you can up/down that !!). maybe i'm crazy but i'm also getting a subtle hint of like, a milky tea from the espresso flavor? like an earl grey tea? def my flavor profile okay now the pineapple expresso is advertised similarly as the SCC, but once allyson gave me my drink and told me about it, she was telling me how the PE but as a matcha (so no espresso) has been her summer drink. def not something i'd order for myself but i actually loved it even more than the SCC !! i highly highly highlyyy recommend !! the matcha isn't over powering (i think the matcha they use is sourced from yabukita matcha leaves which makes sense why it's sooo smooth & has such a great flavor). and paired w the pineapple flavors, vegan hawaiian whip, and i believe allyson said coconut milk is used... omg this drink. PLEASE i urge everyone to try this at least once. so refreshing, creamy, smooth, i don't even wanna finish mine bc im gonna be sad when it's gone !! and she offered to make me something completely different of my choice if i didn't like it. no barista has ever offered that to me. ok i think ive yapped enough lol you will not regret trying jaffa. also if u dont wanna pay for street metered parking, turn into the neighborhood behind jaffa, there's plenty of curb parking, and it's a beautiful lil walk this time of the year w all the flowers in everyone's yard allyson i owe u my first born for recommending this pineapple matcha to me

    Cute cozy cafe in Downtown Berkeley! MY Coffee Roastery is a charming cafe with cottage-themed…read moredecor, delicious pastries, and good cafe drinks. I tried their Lemon Blossom Latte because I've never seen this flavor of latte at any other store and it was good! The lemon taste was prominent but not too overpowering and paired well in an iced latte drink. I also tried their Chocolate Almond Croissant which had a nice crispy exterior and not-too-sweet filling that I enjoyed. The ambiance is very cute given the cottage theme and the staff were very friendly. There is free wifi at this cafe (though connection is a bit weak), but barely any outlets (I couldn't find any for myself when I was there). Not sure if I'd do work here, but there are plenty of seats both indoors and outdoors for people to sit at. Overall, a charming cafe I'd recommend for catching up with friends or enjoying treats in a cute cottage-themed space!

    I got espresso. The single origin (Ethiopia) and house blend. Both were well executed…read more The single origin was fruit forward on the nose. The shot had good crema and was not bitter or burnt. It was bright and acidic with fruit and floral notes. The texture was lighter than I prefer but not watery 3.5/5. The house blend was more my style. Nutty and chocolatey notes came through and were balanced with light acidity. Same good layer of crema and texture that was light for my taste 4/5. They also had a solid pour over selection with the different beans. Worth a try next time I visit.
