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 really liked the feel and interior of the coffee shop. So much natural light! It's at the corner so they are easy to spot!

Originated in San Francisco, they're locally roasted and transported to this side of the East Bay, and I'm so grateful it's steps away from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. The seating is quite limited, so it depends on what time you get there -- but I will say that their drinks are PHENOMENAL. The aroma of the arabica beans really ring through the whole coffee shop, and their pastries are no different. I got their ube latte and sweet ricotta toast, both of which were absolutely delicate. The ube latte, paired with oat milk, made it absolutely creamy and sweet, without having to worry about the lactose portion of the things. Ambiance was okay -- I just wish it was a little more spacious, with better access to the coffee bar. There was a line there, but honestly, not too bad of a wait. The baristas were nice and very chill, and very helpful when it came to coffee drink suggestions.

Parking was easy though, with plenty of street parking nearby. The person at the register was friendly and gave helpful tips and recommendations. While waiting, we spent time watching the co-op roasting facility in the back through the glass windows. That is what really makes this place stand out. There is indoor seating but at 11 am it was completely full! There was some outdoor seating that was open. We tried the rose latte and it was spot on. The rose flavor was subtle and well balanced, not overpowering at all and the coffee was delicious! The only downside was that there were no gluten free pastries available that day, although I have heard they sometimes offer them. Overall, great coffee, a relaxed vibe, and a unique experience that is worth checking out and we will be back!

I didn't use the wifi but judging from the number of laptops around me, it works. Also, if you're looking for outdoor seating, they've got plenty of it.

We were in line for Record Store Day at Open Mind Music down the street. It was early in the morning and cold, so we thought coffee would be perfect--we ordered online through their site (Square), then walked a couple of minutes over to Highwire. Once we got there, we waited only for a little bit before they called our name and handed us our coffees. The drinks were both good and I'd love to be back to try their other coffees, as it seems like plenty of other people have said good things about them. Thanks for helping us warm up!

The two guys who work there are a bit snobby and not very friendly. And it's the first of hundreds of coffee bars I've been charged an extra shot for a half caff (which is not an extra shot, it's the usual 2) $7 total plus tip. I'm about to stop tipping, I'm sick of it. Maybe I'll try a pour over or "tasting" someday and give 'em a chance to show their personalities. But I doubt it.

This review isn't to just rave about the food, I want to give a special shoutout to the gal with the dark hair and cheetah top killing it in the kitchen. She has so much passion for ensuring that the orders are correct. Above all, the food seems delicious. As of now, I haven't heard anyone complain.

Located within Flowerland Nursery is Highwire Coffee, so you get to sip & savor your cup of coffee while basking in the beautiful flowers. It was a special treat since they were holding their annual Winter Market for 2 days. There were food vendors, chocolates, sauces, & honey to be explored, which made it fun. Anyways, Highwire not only served coffee but Chai. I asked for a recommendation between the 2 Chai's(Tipu Masala or Kashmiri Chai) & got the Tipu Masala. It was aromatic with fresh chai tea & spices, the sweetness was perfect for me & would order this again as a coffee alternative.
