Highly Likely

Well, well, well...I've been going to Highley Likely for two years. It is one of our neighborhood coffee shops. The service is great and the coffee and food are amazing. It can be a bit pricey...but it great quality. If you are in the area pleade stop by and give it a chance. Their mocha is very good.

The location is great, on a large street without a lot of traffic on the weekends. Cute outdoor seating and the space inside is pretty large with lots of seating options. Gets pretty busy starting 9-10am on Sunday with an interesting crowd. Coffee comes with free refills. I like that the inside doesn't smell like burnt food and that the space has high ceilings. Love the decor and lives plants. Wifi only available on weekdays. They have beer and wine - don't see hard liquor.

Food was decent and waiter/chef was very nice. However wasn’t super impressed with one of the men behind the counter. We waited roughly 20 minutes to be seated and after ordering one of the guests I was with wanted to order a new drink since she didn’t enjoy the one she had, she went up to the counter and was told she would have to go outside and line up again? Not great.

Wish I had discovered this gem before the pandemic but better late than never! On my first visit I got a cappucino, wine and a sweet treat for my kiddo all to go. Hit 'em up a second time and in the midst of my indecision the chef, who happened to be taking my order, told me about a new item called the Crispy Hippie wrap (also offered as a bowl) that was the jam!! Crispy rice, avocado, roasted broccoli and all kinds of other delicious vegan goodies in every bite. So filling and satisfying!

Staff are friendly and gracious plus they have a cute patio area. Plenty of dishes on the menu I will try on subsequent visits. And if you can't make it there yourself delivery is also offered. Now is the time to support so treat yourself!

Great place to meet friends for a light breakfast and lunch.

I've been here twice; once during the depths of quarantine in summer of 2020 when they had the plexiglass wall up, and once this summer, so my feedback is from limited experience; take from that what you will, but here it is: This place is attractive and visually pleasant to be in, but it's trendy to a major fault. There are no menus posted anywhere, nor any signage to inform you which line is for ordering versus pickup, so you immediately feel like an outsider upon entering. The staff seem pleasant enough but largely standoffish and don't particularly offset the outsider experience. I ordered an horchata latte both times (the first time because it sounded delicious, and the second time because it sounded delicious and it was familiar and it had been long enough that my memory of the actual product was largely gone). It honestly tastes terrible. The coffee used in it has a kind of a skunky taste and it overwhelms the taste of the horchata. I should've ordered some kind of additional sweetener in it, and maybe that would have helped.

Given that they don't have menus posted (at least easily noticeable, since I didn't see one anywhere) I probably won't be back because I wouldn't even know what else to order instead, would I?

I recently started working in the area and have been coming here on a regular. Everything is always beyond fresh, the side of fruit tasted and looked like it was just cut up. Wasn't sitting in a bowl mixed for days. If you're in the area, definitely worth a stop.

The cafe seems a bit out of place for the neighborhood. The food is kind of pricey for the amount you get - I ordered a burger and it was about the size of a McDonald's basic burger, though admittedly with more toppings, and tasted decent. They also only have 3 hot tea options on the menu, and while oolong is kind of a black tea, there's nothing very hearty like Assam or orange pekoe that is meant to be taken with milk.

The atmosphere is nice but a bit sterile. The servers seem like they're trying to adopt a cynical, distant attitude, didn't thank me for my order, and don't seem genuinely interested in engaging with customers as real people. The guests seemed like they didn't want to make eye contact with strangers. All this made me feel a bit stressed being there. Also, echoing other comments, the music is pretty loud and it's a bit hard to chat if you're not someone with a loud voice.

This place gets 3 stars for 2 reasons, it’s designed perfectly, it’s a beautiful space, and the staff (mainly these 2 women of color that always smile and make a point to say hello to me) are friendly. Other than that it gets no stars from me. The food is way overpriced for the neighborhood, as are most businesses that come into a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. The taste of the food is okay, I’d rather eat at a long standing family owned business like Jacks Kitchen or Olga’s. The few times I visited the only patrons were white folk that either don’t live in the area or are fairly new to the area, picked up from overheard conversations of “loving their new craftsmen they got for a steal” literally a STEAL.

First time going there and it did not disappoint!
