3.Hi-Top Coffee

We love making coffee & we have fun doing it. Hi-Top was created by three friends that met in a climbing gym & bonded over the love for specialty coffee & the Tower District in Fresno. We believe that quality should never be sacrificed & that this industry allows us the opportunity to positively impact the lives of the people who work with us and the people who walk through our doors. We love that coffee works as a means of gathering people & are grateful for the opportunity it gives us to serve our community. We take making good coffee seriously, but we don't take ourselves seriously. - Hi-Top Website

Locals Say

"Great coffee. Great treats. The nitro is amazing in flavor. Had a maple cronut that was to die for. Very nice people and they took the time to explain the different coffees to me. I highly recommend if you like good coffee." via Facebook

"With the Major options being Starbucks and Dutch Bros is so refreshing to have a coffee shop like this who takes care, of not only the customer but also In crafting the perfect drink every time. I loved everything about the shop from the extraordinary coffee to the exemplary customer service. I've had 8 years of barista experience so I say all of this with a lot of experience and understanding. Try the iced white macadamia latte if you're into coffee with a little sweet. I'll definitely be a regular here."  via Facebook
