    This place is so unique! It's open until way late into the night. Lots of seating and funky tables and chairs, extensive menu and lots of drinks available. Service was minimal, it was very busy when we went around 10pm!

    This place was super busy! My friend and I went around 8pm and the place was packed. We both ordered a white hot chocolate. It was delicious. I would order it again!

    God do I love the Highland. A friend introduced me to this place a few months ago. Little did I know my mother and aunt used to frequent here all the time when they weee my age! The drinks are impeccable. The vibes are lovely. The bartender I always encounter is nothing but kind. The food is a little overpriced, but why would you be coming here for the food? Just a great experience. Highly recommend it.

    Great little coffee shop. My partner used to visit this shop when in college. He would drive 45 mins to come to this shop and hangout. It had been about 25 years since his last visit so we had to stop in. With no smoking indoors, and afternoon customers, it was a different experience but extremely nostalgic. We sat in the front windows and enjoyed our drinks and laughed as he reminisced. I took a look around at the various seating areas and rooms. There was also a patio/deck in the back too. It was fun for me to experience the coffee house and I know he enjoyed it so much. We found street parking pretty easily and he enjoyed a mocha and I had a Chai Latte. It was a nice little unplanned stop while in-town.

    This is truly unique place. I've never been to a coffee bar open this late. As much as I feel it's not what they are intending to promote, this place was awesome for a night where I needed to put some extra work in. It was nice to get out of the apartment and have a warm, Rum Cider while I knocked some things out. The bartender/barista did mention however, that they begin to get very crowded come midterm/finals due to its proximity to campus so work that into your plan. I'd recommend Highland if you're in the mood to burn some midnight oil, do some thinking, or just want to enjoy a late night coffee or alcoholic beverage.

    A cozy coffee house, perfect for end of the night hangouts. The ambiance and drinks are top tier. Props to Jay, he is an amazing barista and a gentle soul that makes you feel really welcomed. Would give more than five stars if I could.

    He really is a unique bird and the world would be a much better place if it had more people like Jay.

    My friend wanted to come here for her birthday. We dined in on a Sunday for brunch. At the time it…read morewas super busy because they were booked for birthdays and events but we managed to fit a party of 12 around the DJ area near the bar. They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!
