Crema's Take

This intimate Alameda roastery has earned loyal devotion for its consistently excellent espresso work, particularly their standout cappuccinos and lattes adorned with impressive latte art. The real heart of Highwire lies in its genuinely warm staff who make regulars and bike-ride passersby alike feel equally welcomed, making it the kind of neighborhood spot where you'll find yourself returning whether you're after a quick grab or a lingering sit on the outdoor patio. While some recent inconsistency with oat milk drinks has given pause to a few, the shop's commitment to both traditional espresso drinks and thoughtful pour-overs keeps drawing people back.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating.
