My condolences, Mrs. Sharpie was a hard working and valued member of the crew. She may be gone but she'll never be forgotten.

My favorite coffee on the island and where I go when I want a special treat. The lattes are incredible. Staff are rad. They also have gluten free snacks pretty often.

Searching for a quick coffee spot, I came upon this rather innocuous yet quaint coffee shop, not expecting much.
But two things stood out to me as I ordered. The service and the drink itself. The man who took my order, Curt (who dawned some very cool apron pins), was patient, kind, and swiftly prepared my beverage. As for the latte I ordered, it was milky and not overly sweet, and the beans are incredibly delicious, and the caffeine boost is noticeably present. The focus on the drink and service made my first visit quick and pleasant.
I would absolutely recommend a drink from here for anyone who is looking for coffee. 10/10

Interesting little joint serving coffee and pastries. I ordered a regular coffee with cream only and an almond croissant. Coffee wasn't as strong as I expected but the pastry was great. I would visit again.

Favorite neighborhood spot! Great cappuccinos, warm & friendly staff. If you see a crowd, it’s worth the wait! Currently drinking chai latte, it’s delicious!

My favorite coffee chain in the bay. This is just top notch coffee. The staff is extremely friendly in this location. Considerations: Nowhere to sit really except for a small bench as you wait for you coffee, and usually no place to park right in front.

One of my favorite coffee spots in Alameda. My test is always, do I need to add sweetner to this drink? At Highwire, the coffee is so smooth and they froth the milk just right to bring out the natural sweetness, you don't need to add a thing. Very friendly staff also.
Great coffee and thank you for not charging extra for milk substitutes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hidden Gem in Alameda! This small coffee spot is a true hidden gem! I had the best almond latte—smooth, flavorful, and simply perfect. The barista is a pro and clearly the star of the show, using top-quality beans that I couldn’t resist buying to take home. If you’re in Alameda, don’t miss this place!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem in Alameda and were absolutely blown away! The smooth cortado and almond latte were some of the best we’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Pairing them with a vegan cream bagel and croissant was a delight, but honestly, the coffee was the true star.
The barista was professional and clearly passionate about their craft, adding an extra layer of care to every cup. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with kind people all around. This spot is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional coffee and great vibes. We’ll definitely be back!
