Crema's Take

“Highlight Coffee is an espresso-focused spot where the owner Frank personally curates single-origin pour overs and inventive signature drinks like their butterscotch latte and pineapple lime espresso tonic that keep customers coming back for more. Whether you're grabbing a lightning-fast iced americano or settling in to work with friends, the thoughtfully sourced beans and welcoming vibe make it feel like a place that actually cares about both the coffee and the experience.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I stopped in for a vanilla latte to go. I wish I had more time because Highlight had a nice vibe for sitting and relaxing. Next time would be good to meet a few friends here. Service was fast and friendly and my latte was extra hot as requested and very smooth!
