Highwire Coffee was founded on the belief that a coffee company can be a positive force. To the founders, "good" signifies a business that provides meaningful employment and nurturing environments, fosters professional development, and ensures employees feel valued and purposeful. It also encompasses a commitment to mutual support, sharing resources, partnering with like-minded individuals, and making sustainable choices. This ethos extends into the broader community and influences the company's service to its customers.
Rich Avella, Eric Hashimoto, and Robert Myers, who met in the mid-1990s, established Highwire Coffee, united by their shared values and passion for quality coffee. They envision a space where great coffee is enjoyed in an environment where people feel welcomed, and where the act of connecting over coffee takes precedence over the specifics of the beverage itself.
In 2011, Highwire Coffee began with a modest setup in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. The company's DIY spirit reflects their ongoing journey as small business owners. Today, Highwire Coffee serves customers across Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, Montclair Village, and Alameda, with roasting operations based in Emeryville and an expanding reach beyond the Bay Area.
