Highland Coffee House

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.

I'm giving this an updated 5 stars for the delicious coffee and service, but because there are some cupcakes that get angry that this is a business. If you want to chat with your friends, go to a park. This isn't an Internet cafe, it's a business. If you aren't going to buy anything, they have every right to ask you to leave for PAYING customers.

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.

terrible service, the worker had the audacity to tell us to tip more when he got a 15% tip. the owner is a bum

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.

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.

One other person and I went at 8:30pm to study. We have things to do that require table space - she has to get out her textbook, computer, and iPad to take notes and I have to get out my computer, iPad, and paper to write an equation sheet. Staff won't let us take up more than one (very very small) two person table without paying a "study fee", which is either a drink worth $6 every hour or flat hour $6 an hour. The logic was there had been no open tables all night, but we walked past four open on the way out. The food and drinks are fabulous and I love this place, I was so sad to have to leave for this reason.

Love the atmosphere. This is a great place for study and getting together with friends. The drinks we got were good and came out pretty fast. Saw a few negative reviews about guests being kicked out for not ordering and I initially sympathized. The menu states clearly the terms of staying there for longer than an hour. (It was probably posted elsewhere too but I didn't look)

A great place to do homework at, schedule meetings, or go on dates. I love getting the hot rum cider there, it's not too strong but you can taste the rum. One of the workers is such a unique amazing person, but the other is hostile and slightly rude. There is street parking but it isn't too hard. Sometimes when you come there is no seating. The outdoor place is great, but sometimes people are too loud for me to focus on studying or there are too many cigarettes. A good place for procrastinators or late night students.

Amazing atmosphere, great staff, decent coffee and drink options. A little overpriced, but what isn't these days?
