Good espresso and nice service. It took a bit longer to get it, but the espresso was excellent and it was handmade by the barista. At $3.95 it’s a bit expensive if you ask me, but they did put it in a glass cup ?.

The coffee is very good and much better than the chain coffee houses in Montclair. Service is very Gen--Z, meaning aloof and unfriendly. The vegan selection of pastries is limited and not great.

Visited this company a couple times but first time to this location in Montclair. It's a great spot for a casual coffee meet up with a friend or jf you want to have a latte while you answer a quick email. There aren't chairs to sit so be mindful when you visit, they do have a standing window high shelf to place your drink on while you view the bustling streets of Montclair Village. The staff were very kind and patiently waited for us to finish drinks as they were wrapping up for the day. We appreciated not being rushed out by the staff on a slow rainy afternoon in the Oakland hills. Coffee: Matcha Latte (4/5): you definitely know there's matcha in this beverage but they do a good job of balancing it out with some sweetener to make it much more palatable. Comes a little frothy but not like a Starbucks beverage. Wasn't my favorite but they do a good job of executing it. Decaf Oatmeal Latte (4.5/5) Thought they executed well here. Looks very delicious when you get it served, a nice reward for the decision to come here on foot. Oatmeal is not overpowering and the decaf has a good taste. Snacks: Snicker Doodle and chocolate chip cookies (5/5) Full transparency they don't actually make these in house (FIREBRAND) but I do applaud a coffee shop for choosing to sell fresh pastries from quality bakeries and bread shops. Make sure to pick one of these up.

Don't know why 3/5 times we've been they get the order very wrong. Also sort of a grumpy/snippy vibe from the staff often. Coffee is ok but when you don't get what yo order and the crew is pissed off... east to go elsew

I just want to know those friends who are still standing here drinking coffee in the cold winter and can only sit outside the door! Don't you feel cold? A cup of light and tasteless coffee! It's not worth missing!

Always love a good cup of coffee and high wire is right up there in some of the best that east bay has to offer.Their drip on tap such as Core hits the spot for me.Pair it with some pastries that they get locally and you are all set!

Cozy to-go spot on a busy street corner in Montclair where I go for coffee beans & chemex filters. They roast locally, and are a bit on the darker side but have a good variety of blends & single origin. Their espresso drinks are delicious and the batch brew is pretty solid. No pourovers, no seating. This is one of the few high quality coffee spots that’s open before 7am. They have some good pastries, usually a vegan option or two.Vegetarian options: Pastries
This is a solid place for your morning cup of Joe. It’s a little bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Friendly and accommodating staff here.My friend had a good mocha and I asked for coffee with room and they did just that.Parking is a it difficult, but the coffee was good and the staff was cool.A great addition to this area.

Coffee was ok. got a vanilla latte and it wasn't bad. Not a lot of options but definitely not bad. There's little seating tho

I've tried to enjoy the coffee here even tried a latte. It's just very very bitter! Not a fan
