Been coming to this place for years and the butterscotch latte never misses. It tastes soo creamy and just the perfect sweet treat. Get it with oat milk and a little extra sweetness. My favorite local little cafe.

Love their orange vanilla latte served hot with Oatmilk. They often have delicious donuts made by a local bakery.

They make the best cheese croissants! It was my first time there. There was $5 deal for coffee and pastry if you get there by 8:30am. I barely made it. They recommended I should try the cheese croissant . I did and it was so delicious! Not to sweet! Perfect. It also had dried cranberries. Service was good too! Everything was perfect!

Highlight Coffee in Glendale was recommended to me by someone who knows his coffee, so I wasn't surprised that my flat white came out pretty good. Yet the best part of my visit, is the two super chill, upbeat baristas. I had a fun chat with them, and had the pleasure to hear some of their coffee shop insights. The coffee shop is smaller than it seems from the street. The corner unit has big street windows on both sides, letting in lots of natural light. There are a few small tables and a standing bar. For a neighborhood coffee shop, it is more than enough.

I recently checked out Highlight Coffee and had a great experience. The raspberry pistachio Danish was amazing, a combo I'd never tried before, and it only cost $5. Their espresso was smooth and made from really good beans. They have some cool flavors like butterscotch and orange vanilla, but they don’t go overboard with sweet stuff. The place has limited seating, making it a nice spot for a date or a business meeting, and it’s also a good environment for studying or work. The staff was super helpful and answered all my questions. They have a bunch of other fancy pastries like Miso Butterscotch Cookie, triple threat chocolate chunk cookie, pain au chocolat, white miso kouign-amann, banana bread, and coffee cake donut. They also have savory options like spinach and cheese croissant and kimchi spam musubi croissant. I can’t wait to try more of their pastries next time.

Highlight Coffee in Glendale is a hidden gem for coffee enthusiasts. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm, inviting atmosphere. The baristas are knowledgeable and passionate, offering an impressive selection of single-origin that are expertly brewed to highlight their unique flavors. I particularly loved their pour-over options, which allowed me to savor the intricate tasting notes of the beans. The cozy seating arrangements make it a perfect for both relaxing with a book or catching up with friends. Don't miss their baked goods either; the muffins are delightfully moist and pair perfectly with a cup of coffee. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Highlight Coffee is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy excellent coffee and a welcoming environment. It's a place where every sip feels like a little celebration of flavor!

I had the most delectable strawberry almond croissant with my oat milk cappuccino. It was fresh and the taste was what you'd expect from a European café (highest compliment affordable). Service is exemplary. Much better than going to a large faceless chain like Starbucks.

Highlight Coffee is not Starbucks. The way they roast their beans makes the coffee taste richer and bolder. Their baked food looks like stuff from a bakery, not a factory. The people who work their are more like restaurant staff, not baristas.🙄 The atmosphere is fantastic. I uploaded some photos. The building was a hotel built in 1937, sobthe architecturevis fabulous. The windows, the entrance door, and the interior is very inviting. The latte and croissant that I got were uniquely more delicious than anything I have ever gotten at Starbucks.

Had an awesome iced latte with whole milk. Really delicious! Next time I'm driving through Glendale, I will definitely be stopping here again! Oh, the chocolate chip cookie was tasty also:)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stopped by Highlight Coffee while meeting a friend next door and decided to grab a drink while I waited. I ordered the hot Butternut coffee with oat milk, and it was an absolute perfect marriage of flavors. I’ve written thousands of reviews — usually about full dining experiences, plates of food, atmosphere, decor, or overall ambiance. This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for a single cup of coffee. That’s how good this was. The balance was flawless — slightly salty, subtly sweet, rich but not heavy. Not overly sugary like so many specialty drinks. The oat milk blended beautifully with the butternut and espresso, making it smooth, warm, and incredibly satisfying. This wasn’t just a good coffee. It was memorable. Intentional. Perfectly executed. I’ll absolutely be back.
