Crema's Take

Highwire is an espresso-focused roastery in Oakland where skilled baristas craft both traditional and inventive specialty drinks with equal care, making it equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely pour-over ritual. The shop has earned a loyal local following who appreciate its commitment to quality, whether you're ordering a straightforward shot or something more adventurous. It's the kind of place where coffee craftsmanship feels genuine rather than performative.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot.

Coffee is mediocre and ownership may be attempting to prevent union organizing attempts. Should spend your money at Timeless a few blocks away!

I really enjoyed my coffee and the staff was really friendly. Happy to have another coffee option in the area and I really want to go to one of their music pop ups!
