Simple but really nice. The zesty cajun chicken with multi- grain bread was tasty, and long black was smooth. Cosy, homey vibes overall.

I bought a Lelit V3 from Highlander Cafe. Their sales and service team has done a good job in product training and machine setup. Good price and product knowledge. I recommend to anyone who has interest to get an espresso machine to consider Highlander.

I’m glad to found this place and the sandwich is really fulfilling and different types of bread to choose. A good portion of food with a perfect match with my piccolo latte. Staffs are heart warming and the lady was worried if I might not be able to finish my food, upon serving my sandwich she offered me a box for takeout. Thanks for the good hospitality! Definitely will visit again!

My food rating guide: 2.5/5 ‐-------> Average taste 5/5 ‐--------> Scrumptious! (My comfort food! ) A fine cup of coffee. The Long Black is light bodied yet packs with a distinctive fragrant coffee flavour. Their toasted tuna sandwich comes with crispy surface wheat breads, refreshing vege, a slice of cheese, and flavourful tuna spread. It is crispy, soft, refreshing, and flavourful all at one bite. Yummy! This small cafe has a chill and laid-back ambience. Recommeded items : Long Black 4.5/5 Toasted tuna sandwich 5/5 The cafe food averages at 4.5/5

Highlander Coffee Espresso Bar offers a pleasant atmosphere that's cozy and inviting—though it can feel a bit cramped, especially during busier hours. I tried the grilled tuna melt, and it was pretty good. Nicely toasted with a warm, flavorful filling that balanced well between the tuna and cheese. It’s a solid choice if you're looking for a comforting, satisfying bite. Overall, a nice little spot for a quick coffee and bite. Good vibes and good food

Small, humble, and a great service from the Highlander that greets you with a smile. The moment I stepped in with my wife, we knew this place would offer something good. Ordered a Peppery Passion Tuna Sandwich and Gouda BBQ chicken sensation man that names are funky. Love it. The shop atmosphere is great cozy, and the people are nice. Small table, but it serves its purpose very well with a small, nice plant to display and on sales too. The chef originated from the Philippines. The food came, and I must say it's the texture in the bread crust that mixes well with the ingredients. Pity that the amount is a bit small for a pricey meal Can't fill my belly up, but I am happy. The coffee is ok but pricey.
