Our Story

More Than a Coffee Shop — It's a Highlands Institution

Tucked along Bay Avenue, Girls Cafe Highlands has been a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. We started with a simple belief: that a great cup of coffee should be paired with genuine hospitality, and that a neighborhood spot should feel like home.

By Day: Coffee & Conversation

Our baristas craft every drink with care — from single-origin pour-overs to signature lattes with house-made syrups. Pastry cases fill fresh daily, and our kitchen serves hearty options that keep you coming back through the afternoon rush.

By Night: Cocktails & Good Times

When the sun dips below the river, we flip the script. Our cocktail program draws on classic techniques and local ingredients, creating a warm, lively atmosphere that turns a quiet evening into something memorable.
