I've seen Highwire Coffee Roasters in Oakland's Prescott Market but didn't get a chance to try them…read moreout since it was late in the day, but alas, today I did. Located within Flowerland Nursery is Highwire Coffee, so you get to sip & savor your cup of coffee while basking in the beautiful flowers. It was a special treat since they were holding their annual Winter Market for 2 days. There were food vendors, chocolates, sauces, & honey to be explored, which made it fun. Anyways, Highwire not only served coffee but Chai. I asked for a recommendation between the 2 Chai's(Tipu Masala or Kashmiri Chai) & got the Tipu Masala. It was aromatic with fresh chai tea & spices, the sweetness was perfect for me & would order this again as a coffee alternative. Love being surrounded by flowers & succulents while enjoying my drink from Highwire.

I know that the recent reviews have mentioned issues with the service, but I came on a weekend…read moremorning and while there was only one person that was working, and took a bit of time, the worker was incredibly friendly and I did not have a bad experience. I ended up getting a havana latte (latte + ?condensed milk), regular latte, a cold brew with honey lavender foam, and an almond croissant. As with a lot of the coffee places in the area, the baked goods are from Starter bakery and always solid. I REALLY enjoyed my cold brew and flavored foam. This is definitely a drink I would come back for. I liked the ability to customize the foam. It was a good mix of slightly bitter from the cold brew, and depending on how I mixed it, the sweetness of the foam. The havana latte was not my favorite, it was just a sweet tasting latte, but nothing too special. I was just interested in trying out their new offerings. The latte was solid.

The two guys who work there are a bit snobby and not very friendly.

I'm about to stop tipping, I'm sick of it. Maybe I'll try a pour over or "tasting" someday and give 'em a chance to show their personalities. But I doubt it.

This is a great place, and a wonderful addition to the San Pablo community.

My friend and I stopped in and ordered a hot matcha latte and a cappuccino and both drinks were…read morehonestly spot-on. Everything tasted creamy, smooth, and most importantly not overly sweet. The matcha had a clean, mellow flavor and the cappuccino had that perfect balanced richness. What really elevates this place is the location. It sits right next to a large park, and the whole area has such a vibrant, feel-good energy. People were lounging outside, sipping coffee, and just soaking in the day, it made the whole visit feel extra cozy and lively at the same time. Inside the café has a serious charm. There's a massive bookshelf filled with books (huge bonus points for including kids' storybooks too), which gives the space a warm, community feel. Service was quick and efficient even though the place was buzzing. Fair warning: it's clearly a favorite among students but somehow it still works with the vibe rather than against it.

The nice barista explained that the coffee menu changes frequently. The single origin coffees cost $1 more. She said it gets really busy, but I got there at just the right time to order without waiting in line. Free Wi-Fi with seating inside and out. The plentiful availability allowed me to find a seat on the sidewalk that allowed me to catch a few rays with my latte on a sunny day. Such goodness. Lots of folks there working on their laptops inside. A mom happily nursing and some folks lost in conversation outside. There my soul received the sweet caress of a perfectly balanced rose latte. Great coffee and good vibes in West Berkeley.

Bagel with lox cream cheese: 3/5. Wasn't expecting much, just needed a snack. It was a Boichik bagel. Pretty solid, but slightly on the smaller side for the price. The cafe itself has some tables.
