    Cold brew light almond or oat milk
    Sean G.

    Place was good happy to check it out and get a cold brew always happy to have coffee. Staff was friendly and nice service was quick

    I'm staying in the area for two weeks and this is my second time at highwire. I firmly believe this is the best coffee spot in the area, after trying out a few different spots. It's very small inside with no seating options but they do have some counter space by the windows to stand. The espresso in the latte is perfect, they've definitely mastered their craft.

    I've always been a big fan of this coffee brand and usually look for it everywhere I go. Unfortunately, I must say that my experience at the Montclair branch was very disappointing. While the staff members are friendly and the service has potential, it's shocking that a corporation of this size allows employees to openly express political opinions in the workplace. The atmosphere felt unwelcoming and, at times, antisemitic staff wearing political symbols and treating customers differently because of Jewish jewelry is completely unacceptable. Politics should never interfere with customer service. A coffee shop should be a neutral, welcoming place for everyone. I cannot recommend this branch as long as the company continues to allow political statements in the workplace. Business should be about great coffee and equal treatment for all nothing else

    I have never made as many acquaintances in a coffee shop as I have in this Highwire. And they serve great coffee too. Their seasonal lattes such as all-spice, cinnamocha and mint mocha are truly amazing! It's a cozy little coffee shop so you can't really sit anywhere other than on the bench outside but it's a great place to grab coffee and walk on the railroad trail or stroll through the farmers' market if you're in Montclair on Sunday morning.

    Seasonal Strawberry Latte (March 2024)
    Juliana P.

    Fantastic coffee, scrumptious pastries, lovely whole bean roasted coffee beans. Great spot to stop by before/after the Montclair Village Farmer's Market on Sundays (just down the street). I recently tried the seasonal strawberry latte (iced with oat milk) and while the seasonal flavor was initially very subtle, it actually was SO delicious- it was not too sweet and almost tasted like cereal milk. So, very nostalgic. Their ice is fun!! LARGE CUBES. The space is pretty small inside and the line can get long, but they keep things moving fast! I picked up a bag of beans that I'm excited to try at home. They were roasted just two days prior to the Sunday that I picked them up-- caramel coffee notes to be enjoyed soon...!

    Friendly and accommodating staff here. My friend had a good mocha and I asked for coffee with room and they did just that. Parking is a it difficult, but the coffee was good and the staff was cool. A great addition to this area.

    Visited this company a couple times but first time to this location in Montclair. It's a great spot for a casual coffee meet up with a friend or jf you want to have a latte while you answer a quick email. There aren't chairs to sit so be mindful when you visit, they do have a standing window high shelf to place your drink on while you view the bustling streets of Montclair Village. The staff were very kind and patiently waited for us to finish drinks as they were wrapping up for the day. We appreciated not being rushed out by the staff on a slow rainy afternoon in the Oakland hills. Coffee: Matcha Latte (4/5): you definitely know there's matcha in this beverage but they do a good job of balancing it out with some sweetener to make it much more palatable. Comes a little frothy but not like a Starbucks beverage. Wasn't my favorite but they do a good job of executing it. Decaf Oatmeal Latte (4.5/5) Thought they executed well here. Looks very delicious when you get it served, a nice reward for the decision to come here on foot. Oatmeal is not overpowering and the decaf has a good taste. Snacks: Snicker Doodle and chocolate chip cookies (5/5) Full transparency they don't actually make these in house (FIREBRAND) but I do applaud a coffee shop for choosing to sell fresh pastries from quality bakeries and bread shops. Make sure to pick one of these up.

    Coffee and sticky bun
    Joshua K.

    A great local coffee shop! I went here on a recent weekday morning around 9 AM and there was no line. I got a coffee and a sticky bun-both were delicious. Although the sticky bun was overpriced ($5.75), the coffee was a fair price ($3.25) and had robust flavor.

    Vanilla oat milk latte!
    Jade N.

    Quick pick-me up in the area! Let's be honest, if you can support local shops, skip the Starbucks and Peet's next door and come here instead. Great quality coffee, great customer service, and house-made syrups with a seasonal menu tailored and changed to make things fun for the community. They also provide and support local bakeries in the area which I'm a big fan of! To be honest my cookie tasted a bit old, but I'm still happy about my visit and would come here ANY day over the corporate coffee next door!

    After about a year of going I decided to bring in my small dog with me to buy coffee. I was turned away immediately with someone yelling at me "we don't allow animals". I've seen other bring in small dogs before but the fact that I was turned away so rudely made me to get upset. I will be taking my business to the three other cafes within walking distance from this establishment that allow my dog to be inside with me.

    Stopped by here while strolling through Montclair on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Line was short and quick. They made me a fabulous oat milk latte. I always order my lattes with no foam; they accidentally made it with foam, realized on their own and re-made it without me saying a word. Awesome customer service with a smile. My friend had an almond milk latte and the other had a cappuccino. They both enjoyed their drinks as well. Noticed some tasty looking, locally made pastries for sale near the register. Will definitely be back to try these next time!

    Iced Candied Orange Latte
    Love K.

    Highwire Coffee is a new favorite especially as it is minutes away from my besties' house! I ordered the seasonal iced Candied Orange Latte with oat milk which was delightful. The bestie ordered an Almond Milk Latte and enjoyed her drink as well. The staff was super friendly and produced the drinks quickly. Cannot wait to make a pit stop here at this small shop when I'm back in the area. In fact, I'd love to see more season menus and syrups to choose from like the Candied Orange! Cheers!

    My business colleague invited me to catch up with him this week in San Francisco. Living in the…read moreneighborhood he recommended we meet at Andytown Coffee Roasters at 181 Fremont Street adjacent to the Saleforce Park. I took an Uber which dropped me in front of the correct building location, however, I had in minds eye remembering seeing a coffee shop in the Salesforce Park so I inadvertently went to that coffee shop. WRONG! After realizing my mistake, I texted my colleague and we were able to connect IRL on Andytown Coffee Roasters on the 7th floor. The shop is HUGE and since it took a few minutes to circle back my friend ordered me a medium coffee ahead of my arrival which was great given there was a long line by the time I arrived. The coffee was very nice and I appreciate the taste and warmth. After about 45 minutes we left the ACR shop and walked in the elevated Salesforce Park which is stunning urban designed. The only comment I would mention is the noise volume levels were loud given there were 20-30 people in line to order and talking. Not a big deal, we moved to two very comfortable sofas a few feet away or could have gone outside since there is many options inside and outside to enjoy the space. I took several photos of my visit and when I am back in the area will definitely go back and try their menu. Don't forget to leave time to causally stroll around the magnificent shaded garden 7 stories above the street! Enjoy!

    I honestly love the vibes of this cafe and it's a great study spot, but that couldn't even save it…read more I came on a Tuesday afternoon to try their matcha. They have a seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte, and I have never felt this disappointed in a drink before. The drink barely had any matcha and turned grey after mixing. The strawberry was overly sour. You can see from the color that they used the most oxidized matcha ever. The drink really tasted like iron mixed with something sour. I hope they taste their drinks before selling it. Maybe other lattes are better but honestly this was just way too disappointing.
