What customers say

Cute location, stocked full of great coffee and accessories. The staff is super friendly, and helpful. I came here to pick up some whole bean coffee, a kettle, and filters all in one trip. I am happy with the purchase. I have also brought friends here and they seemed to really enjoy their drinks. I will return again.

Fabulous cortado in an actual cup that’s perfect for it! I’m so tired of coffee places that put espresso drinks in their smallest coffee cup and think its ok. Even the smallest drip coffee cup is too big and the cortado loses the enveloping warmth that makes the sipping experience an actual experience.

Love this location! Highwire is already one of my favorite local roasters, but this location is the flagship. Two espresso machines running at full throttle during busy times… and despite the high traffic, they keep everything super clean and well organized. Kudos to the team, always professional, friendly and focused.

My first time here I got a double mocha with whole milk and it was probably one of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever had. Shoutout the fem presenting barista with glasses and dark hair they got me right fr fr. They don’t take cash tho fyi
