Chelsea · Since 2018

Great coffee and great cocktails shouldn't have to wait for the right occasion.

We built The Highline Cafe for the people who want their espresso perfect at 9 AM and their Old Fashioned just as good at 9 PM — no dress code, no pretense, just honest craft in the heart of Chelsea.

Coffee, Done Right

Single-origin beans, roasted locally, pulled on calibrated equipment. Our baristas treat every shot like it matters — because it does.

Cocktails, Same Care

When the sun goes down, our bar turns out house-made shrubs, fresh-squeezed juices, and spirits selected for flavor — not markup.

A Space That Welcomes You

Whether you're closing a deal, reading a book, or catching up with a friend — this is your table. No time limits, no pressure to perform.

Our Story

We opened because Chelsea deserved a place that doesn't choose between good coffee and a good night out.

The Highline Cafe started with a simple frustration: too many neighborhoods force you to pick a vibe. Morning coffee shops feel sterile. Evening bars feel like a different world. We wanted something that felt like home at any hour.

So we built one. A space where the same attention to detail goes into a pour-over at 8 AM and a Negroni at 8 PM. Where the regulars know your name and the baristas know your order. Where the High Line is close enough to walk to, but you never feel like you need to be anywhere else.
