    Super disappointed by the coffee and the hot chocolate. It purely just does not taste good at all. Further, the cups filled up maybe 3/4 way, far too sweet of additives and the milk was not steamed correctly at all. Hot chocolate did not have any chocolate flavor. Was hoping for something higher quality since its a local place, but I'd rather have gone to a chain coffee

    I don't know what people are talking about. This place is terrible. Came here again to give this place another try and it's still terrible. The espresso was burnt, steamed milk was not incorporated well, and the lavender was not mixed in well and sat at the bottom of the drink. The service was okay compared to my first visit. The handmade shop in the back is nice and the owner is very welcoming.

    Got denied service for not having a mask. The company didn’t even have masks to offer for customers that forgot. Such a shame to see a local business be so RUDE to someone looking to support them. Had to wait outside in 9 degree weather so the friend I was with could get a coffee. These people need to get educated.

    Nice place to study and do work. Establishment was clean and peaceful. Staff seems to be in training but are really nice. One thing I would say is that the matcha they use is not good, it tasted like a bad brand, if you’re a matcha lover like me I would stay away from it. Other than that great place!!

    SOOOO GLAD I stopped by this coffee shop on my way down to Columbus from Cleveland☕️✨ Not only was my coffee 😍💯☕️👌🏻 AMAZING!!!!!!! but the staff were sooooo nice🤗💕🙏 I don't know her name, but there was a cute girl working at the register who gave me a cookie 🤗🍪 She made my day! 🍪💕 This place is so conveniently located, and there's free street parking 👍 it's a MUST to stop by Highline Coffee! The coffee shop is super cozy and cute inside (not super big); there're places to sit and enjoy your coffee 🤗☕️✨🏡 and inside.. the coffee shop is connected to another little shop/boutique. It's just such a nice atmosphere for a coffee date. If I'm ever passing through here again, I will 💯 definitely stop at Highline Coffee! ☕️✨ 🙏 Thank you!

    Cozy local coffee shop in downtown Worthington. The coffee and is fresh and the baked goods (scones!) are tasty. I liked the countertop seating facing the street which allows you to appreciate the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Peter B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great, homey (read : small) place to get a cup of coffee with some space to get some work done if you need to. Their espresso was out of the ordinary good. Super thick and rich, definitely one of my favorites. I'm new to the area, the barista said they used beans from a place in Columbus called "One-Line". If that's the case, I'm buying some cause seriously it was some good stuff, I'd love to start my morning with it. Cool place though, worth a look!

    Met up with some friends at Highline for coffee and it's a nice little spot to grab something hot to drink. Had the honey apple cider and it was super good and not too sweet. Place looks super nice, very chill, but its pretty small so don't go there with more than 4 people hoping to sit and chat for awhile.

    Awesome sweets and Java, cool place to hang out. Would recommend stopping by!!

  • 3/5 Kris 2 years ago on Google
    Decent enough. Went for the first time and the coffee seemed similar to the other roasters that have a very strong blend even though I chose the light/medium blend. Customer service was adequate but definitely not friendly. They did nothing to make me want to visit again but if your on the city center or at the farmers market and want a cup of coffee it will do. It seemed like they assume everyone is a regular and knows their procedure…I would suggest they work on being more welcoming and interactive with their customers!

    this place is a cozy and interesting- it is connected to the shop! i like that the menu was very straightforward. we got one iced americano and one iced salted maple latte with almond milk. the latte was strong and i liked the savory element.

  • 5/5 Shannon W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty. Went during the worthington farmers market. Long line but the workers were working as fast as they could and were friendly. They now have Bella cakes cookies and they are so good!

    UPDATE: I revisited Highline recently which is now under new ownership. The matcha I had was traditionally prepared and sweetened to my specifications. Revising my review accordingly! ORIGINAL REVIEW (SEE RECIPE BELOW IF INTERESTED): I'd love to give Highline 5 stars ~ great location, great aesthetic, and I've loved seeing it grow! My go-to drink is a matcha latte with non-dairy milk - so much so that I make them at home regularly and have taken to perfecting my recipe. But sometimes I want a hot beverage when I am about town. My most recent experience w/ Highline's matcha was not pleasant so I'm posting here ONLY because I don't have Insta and that seems to be the only way to direct message (I really appreciate you all, Highline!). Based on the pale green of the drink I received (see pic), I wonder if culinary matcha has been subbed in here for a more ceremonial grade. This is SO common because the ceremonial grade stuff is $$. But the supposed culinary result was low on flavor and left me with something of a lingering, scalded aftertaste as though the milk had been overheated. Did not drink :( My home recipe for success has involved a shift to *granulated* maple syrup *bless*, I add a tablespoon to an empty mug, froth 2 oz water with 1/4 tsp ceremonial grade matcha, add to mug. Then froth 4oz non-dairy milk, top of mug. The drink mixes itself so no stirring! Lots of recipes call for 1 or even 2 tsp matcha and I find the outcome is still excellent with less matcha ~ which also makes for a more cost-effective ceremonial equation. Happy to see Highline thrive and hope this encouragement can help make a good operation better!

    We decided to do mini cupcakes instead of traditional wedding cake for our guests. We contacted Kittie's cakes to set up a tasing and met Diane at the Worthington Kittie's. She brought a sample of 4 of their most popular cupcakes and talked to us about our different options. We ultimately decided to do a small round cake for the traditional cake cutting for us, and multiple dozens of six different flavors of cupcakes. They were such a hit! Our guests loved having different options and every one of the flavors was delicious. We provided little boxes for guests to take some home at the end of the night and there were only a handful left for us to take home (which was great!). In addition to having delicious cupcakes, Diane was wonderful to work with. She answered all of our emails in a timely manner and made suggestions about the amount of cupcakes to purchase for the number of guests we were expecting. Delivery was on time, and all the different flavors looked so pretty all together. I'll add a picture once we get them back from the photographer. 10/10 would recommend!

    A little crowded but very cute. There's local artwork on the walls and a little shop in the back. I got an almond milk latte and it was nice! Good standard fair.

  • 5/5 Molly M. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Super cute coffee shop with a gift shop full of handmade awesomeness. I got a juniper latte...something I'd never heard of before. It was really good! Staff was happy to answer my questions as I tried to decide what to get and were all very friendly!

  • 5/5 Dinah Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Always love (and prefer) a local coffee place rather than a chain. Friendly environment and based off my first experience, good espresso! Not terribly far off 270 and 71 if you want actually good coffee on your travels through.

  • 4/5 Kat T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the espresso and drinks! Everything is super yummy, but I do wish the customer service was a bit more warm and nice. Every time I come in I feel like they’re either scared of me 😂 I understand being shy, but it’s like every time! I don’t bite Highline!!

  • 5/5 Holly Z. 7 months ago on Google
    The juniper cold brew refreshed me!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have always ordered almond milk lattes from here, and they never fail to be delicious. I don’t add flavors because they’re amazing without needing to add extra. Anytime I order from Starbucks, it’s always bitter and requires syrup to mask the taste.

  • 4/5 Christine K. 11 months ago on Google
    Pastries and coffee taste pretty great. The space is cute and cozy to study or meet friends. Staff can be hit or miss, sometimes friendly or short and rude.

  • 5/5 Paris D. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee and food was great...the workers were patient with my indecisiveness and kind towards me. Very cool and artistic environment

  • 3/5 Laura E. 11 months ago on Google
    This used to be the place we went almost every morning for coffee. Then they were bought and under new management, the drinks are (to me) undrinkable. I don't know if it's because all efforts have been shifted to also being a bakery now, but the drinks are way too sweet - and this is coming from someone who doesn't consider themselves a coffee person! Maybe if I had a baked good it would disguise the sweetness of it, but it's been pretty disappointing. But if nothing else it spurred us to buy an espresso machine, and that's been vastly superior and is saving us money, so.. thanks?

    I'll start by saying that I'm not a coffee drinker, but I still loved this place! It's a really nice space with seating on the inside and outside. I wasn't a huge fan of the Southern tea that was recommended by the barista, but I'll definitely be back to try their chai tea latte and one of their scones. They looked amazing!

  • 5/5 Danny K. 2 years ago on Google
    Highline is a bright, welcoming space in Downtown Worthington that serves fantastic (and ethically-sourced) One Line coffee along with some baked goods. They have a few outdoor seating spots, and they feature art and handmade goods from local artists.

  • 5/5 Rick N. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent coffee, pretty good service. I just got the plain old medium roast drip and it was better than a lot of other places I’ve been. I’ve been to other shops that also use one line beans and they don’t make the same level cup of coffee. I also saw an Uber Karen try to argue with the staff about what a cappuccino is and they calmly explained to her what it is. Over and over. She did not get it but I’m not sure why she thought she knew more about coffee than they do? They made her drink correctly so idk what else she wanted. Anyways it’s pretty good so come get you some.

  • 5/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cappuccino. Great view of park The have a La Marzocco espresso machine and One Line coffee beans for sale.

  • 5/5 Natalie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little coffee place that makes delicious drinks & most of them iced too :) I get it almost every other week! definitely check this out.

  • 5/5 Courtney F. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this local coffee spot. Purchased coffee for teacher appreciation at my son's school. The staff was helpful and informative. They went out of their way to provide great service and hot coffee. I look forward to trying more items.

  • 5/5 Erin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible, high quality coffee. Cute, small shop. A bag of their light roast beans is well worth it.

    While the food is great and the cozy café vibes are phenomenal, I find the service at Kittie's Cakes to be lacking. Rude baristas talking and talking, correcting and being passive aggressive, mentioning illness they might have and mocking customers that have left the store is unbelievably unprofessional. I come for coffee, not to be judged. In the past I had come in, overheard workers talk about a fruitfly problem behind the counter, and prior to winter I would see flys INSIDE of the display case, which, mind you, they serve to customers if they run out of stock on their cart behind the register. Coffee sits out for 4 hours, killing brews, and after talking to a few of the staff, all these things come from poor managerial skills, and the owners lack of awareness to their employees. How can you even expect good service when the owners can't even keep their employees happy? Starbucks is opening nearby, the french bakery is down the street, and Bubbles Tea is right down the lane. Until they fix their staff issue, I'd strongly recommend you get your morning drinks elsewhere.
