Highwire Coffee Roasters, Oakland CA

Loved the variety of coffee on offer and the staff were super friendly. Good spot to stop and catch a breather while walking through town. Plus, the attached market is really lively and cute.

Love, love, love Highwire coffee. Probably one of my favorite coffee places in the Bay area and I always order my bags online from them. So, I'm not a huge fan of organic coffee, but, Conscientious Objector should be on everyone's list to try it's one my favorite coffees for sure and for an organic coffee it's delicious.

Deliciously roasted coffee. Great for a quick caffeine stop before BART or to sit, sip, and people watch

Consistently yummy coffee on the upper end of the spectrum of good coffee. Way better than a Peet’s or Starbucks but, if you are a super coffee snob who needs a ristretto shot on a super profiled, exotic bean, you should walk another block North to Ain’t Normal. Highwire is in a cheerful indoor/outdoor good airflow shop. The ham & cheese croissant is delicious but runs out early. The baristas are good at their work, quick, and fun without giving attitude. I have loved this spot daily since 2019- Aug 2023 and hoping it stays as great in the future.

Sitting outside is a bit loud due to proximity to BART & Hwy 24 but, I have had many a good hour long conversation in the sun here anyway. If you need more quiet, walk South on College a few blocks to The Chocolate Dragon. It’s also truly excellent.

We are blessed to have so many good coffee choices here!

The conscientious objector is my favorite coffee, all their other beans are top notch as well, and the mochi muffins are delicious

Love dropping by this spot for coffee or chai. Sometimes, I indulge and get a pastry. Of the 30-40 times I've been here over the years, I've never had a bad pour or bite.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
I PURCHASED A LATTE FROM THIS COFFEE SHOP TODAY. I WAS AMAZED AT HOW DELICIOUS IT WAS! I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW. ALSO, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SEE YOU SOON!

Delicious espresso. They have a good selection of gluten-free treats. Tracy was very knowledgeable and helped guide me to selecting beans I’d like for home espresso.
Edit- they gave me samples of several beans to try. Bauhaus was my favorite, and that’s what I’ll be buying from now on

Damn good people and oatmilk cap. Wish there were more vegan options but the one satisfied for my visit. Thanks. Ross

Highwire is a primum roster. If you want a high quality coffee, this is the place to get one in Rockridge.

The coffee is excellent. They also use high-quality organic milk and milk alternatives (think Minor Figures which is likely the best Oatmilk on the market).

I have always had a very pleasant experience here. There are not many places where I can get an excellent decaf coffee…can’t drink regular coffee anymore. It’s been a challenge to find a place and I finally did almost a year ago. The coffee has flavor and body like regular coffee. I always get a decaf americano. The baristas are professional yet friendly and they take their time with each customer and I really appreciate that! I love this area anyway and sometimes I would shop at the bakery or the stores…sit outside on a warm day and enjoy my coffee and pastry.

Great place located alongside a marketplace with bakery, wine, seafood, dried meat and goods. The pastry and coffee is excellent worth coming here though hard to find parking
