I liked it so much that I tried a second cup the same day! Sweet Dreams was fantastic, and so was the King Cake Late.

Really nice, clean, and quaint place. Gives off Mom and Pop coffee shop with personalized service. Coffee is made fresh and they even have house specials. Would definitely recommend over Starbucks if you're looking for something more intimate.

Stopped in for a bagel but they didn’t have this morning. Instead had a prepared snack and a chocolate milk. I will be back! What gem located in historic Ensley.

Just had the pleasure of visiting Heritage Coffee. The first thing you are struck with is the fabulous old industrial feel of the shop. Cozy seating areas with board games available to entertain while enjoying good conversation. We were greeted warmly and welcomed by Josh. He made some seasonal suggestions which I heeded. ( maple butterscotch) The coffee was smooth and flavorful without being over powering. My husband had a smoothie with some protein added as he is not a coffee fan. I highly recommend this jem of a coffee shop. Stop in and have a fresh brewed coffee and tell them Kristen sent you.

Was in town for a week and referred to Heritage Coffee. What a treat! Excellent coffee, cool atmosphere and great service. Ended up stopping in four days in a row. I drink a lot of coffee while traveling around the country, and I must say that the coffee here is best I have had. Try the Monkey's Tail!
