    Refreshing homemade lemonade
    Tracy H.

    Really lovely cafe close to town and the student area. The decor is pretty basic canteen style with old wooden tables and benches but the staff are very friendly and helpful and the place is clean. My mum had a 50% off voucher from her entertainment book so we decided to stop in for a late lunch after shopping up a storm. We both ordered a chicken burger and a homemade lemonade. The lemonade was just right for my tastes? Not too sweet and not too sour. But the burger was the knock out. A giant bread bap filled with a battered chicken breast, crispy bacon, salad leaves, tomato with an amazing cranberry jam and aioli dressing. The burger is served with fries and the ketchup comes in the very kiwiana tomato shaped sauce bottle. They also had on offer some delicious looking slices that I wanted to gobble down but at $4.50 a pop mum decided we could make our own instead.

    Good coffee, pancakes, and the eggs benedict were out of this world. Great view of an old historic building outside. Cool cozy vibes inside and great music. Loved it!

    Nice spot for a quick breakfast before exploring Dunedin - the view of the church front he window is awesome and the coffee was amazing!!

    Great spot for breakfast in Dunedin! The eggs Benedict were top notch and hard to beat the cool view to the Knox church across the street

    “The eggs Benedict with salmon was excellent as were the scrambled eggs, porridge with berries, and the chocolate pancakes.”

This cute two-story cafe has a lot to offer not just for the tummy but for the eyes and body, too. The lower level seating offers cozy leather chairs for lounging in an intimate setting, the counter level has tall top tables for a quick coffee break and the second story loft is a brighter, casual dining experience. Though the cafe counter is small, they have a lot to offer. They have an extensive breakfast menu (served all day on weekends and until 2pm on weekdays) that ranges from muesli and banana loaves to eggs benedict and crepes. Missed the breakfast menu? Never fear, lunch is just as appetizing. They have a whole range of options for the pickiest of people including vegetarian options (like the risotto or the fritters). I had the Toasted Ciabatta Sandwich which allows you to choose 3/6 options: sundried tomato, chorizo, ham off the bone, swiss cheese, sheep cheese and caramalized onions. I tried the sundried tomato, ham off the bone and swiss cheese which was delicious! There are also soups and salads for the smaller appetites. Thirsty for more than coffee? Try one of their selections of wines or beers. Under 21? Try their cold sodas; I prefer the ginger beer.

For the gluten free people there's a lot on offer and generally at no extra cost which was nice to see. Small cabinet of freshly baked goods on offer. Friendly staff and efficient service.

    Sophisticated coffee spot in the industrial neighborhood of Dunedin. We found this spot while…read morehunting for murals along the Dunedin Street Art Trail. Along with having a prime location along the pedestrian only strip of Jetty St with easy parking along Vogel, it has great art just outside and also inside the courtyard area. The fact that paint buckets and scaffolding had been set up inside didn't deter people at all from collecting inside Heritage, a testament to the effort put into designing the cafe. Our experience was determinedly efficient yet friendly. As a full service cafe, Heritage offers all your caffeinated needs along with a solid pastry, sandwich, and salad selection. Still and sparkling water are self-serve, but all other in-house orders are hand-delivered to your table. There's a range of seating options too: outdoor tables, a long counter perfect for people watching, and booths. Somehow everything fits neatly into the space without seeming patched together. According to the website, booths can be booked in advance too. My family enjoyed our Flat Whites and a Mocha (served with two marshmallows). The Friand had raspberry filling inside, and actually tasted more like sweet rice flour than almond flour - delicious even if it wasn't what we were expecting. I haven't been this excited by a bathroom for a while, but hopefully once you've made the trip you'll be excited too. Look for the door that's perfectly camouflaged along the wooden wall of the courtyard to find three separate bathroom stalls. Amongst the sparkling white furniture, something seems amiss. Before you drip your washed hands all over the floor, check behind the mirror for some truly efficient use of space (and paper towels)!
