Crema's Take

“Highwire has built a devoted following in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood for their meticulously crafted espresso drinks and pour overs, though their recent move to a new location has left some feeling the space lacks the warmth of their former Market Hall home. The pastries are genuinely excellent and pair beautifully with their specialty drinks, making it worth arriving early to snag a seat before the consistent crowd rolls in during peak hours. This is the kind of place where regulars have their usual order locked in, and the quality of the coffee keeps them coming back despite occasional inventory hiccups and pricing that skews toward the premium side.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
