    Wow! Why did it take so long for me to learn about this place? What a beautiful space to enjoy a cup of coffee or sweet treat with a friend or a solo trip. I came to celebrate a birthday with a friend - we were intending to have lunch - but came to late and missed it. So, we decided on having something to drink and a treat. The location is easy to find and parking wasn't bad. We came on the weekend, so not sure what it might be on the weekdays. The decor is so welcoming and warm. We enjoyed the peach cobbler muffin and a coffee cake muffin. Warm and perfectly prepared :) The coffee was very tasty however my friend didn't care for the guava drink. Overall, a good time and looking forward to returning to try their hot food.

    Have been coming to heirloom for years! The drinks are delicious and they don't put too much ice. They have many unique sweetener options. Everything comes out fast, I usually wait no longer than 5 minutes. Inside is a soothing, feminine atmosphere.

    My partner and I visited Raleigh for a weekend, and while driving through I found this Asian-inspired Cafe! The drinks were solid and the food was good. We tried the congee and the chicken biscuit (fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit). For 2 drinks and brunch entrees, the total came out to be about $40.

    This was place was AMAZING. The parking was so convenient with parallel spots and a parking deck right next to it. And the interior was just so cute, I couldn't get enough of it. The server was super friendly and was well informed on what is on the menu. And the wait wasn't too long, especially with ordering a meal. I got the salmon bowl with rice, and trust I will be back to get it. The flavors were amazing and the rice was cooked just right.

    Pork dumplings.

    I went to bloom for an early dinner. I was not alone in finding this place a true coffee shop where nearly everyone had a laptop out, so I felt at home to work as well. The decor is nice. Minimalist but chic. Clean. Not too loud or noisy. You can get service at your table. Everyone was nice. It's not totally like a traditional waitstaff, as they don't come by as often, but still helpful and around when I needed something. The cocktails were good - I had the honey bourbon smash. It was well made. So much so I had two! For food, these are shareable small plates. Morning truly felt like a meal. The food came out fast and was hot/fresh. I had the crab claws, crispy shrimp and dumplings. The crab claws were delicious. Lots of them too. Served with bread I didn't use. The crispy shrimp were nice large shrimp and a spicy sauce with rice. I ended up using the rice with the crab claw sauce. And the dumplings were ok but I didn't eat many of them. They were my least favorite. I would come back to enjoy coffee and breakfast, but doubt I come back for dinner.

    Went recently for lunch with a friend. We came in around noon on a Monday and it wasn't too busy. I grabbed the char sui pork belly sandwich with fries. It was good! Now can confirm this is a good spot for breakfast and lunch. I'll be back for dinner eventually!

    This was suchhhh a cute cafe! I got their congee and it reminded me of home. I'll have to try their drinks next time but the space is so cute and has a lot of natural life. Got a lot of work done here, lots of seating and menu/drink options. The only this is parking in the lot is lowkey a bag and I would come back on the weekend to do street parking.

    Every Saturday, I choose a new coffee shop to experience. This Saturday I chose Heirloom due to being in the area, and it being on my list. We had just saw the Monks on their Walk for Peace and were freezing. I've walked past Heirloom several times over the years and I'm so glad I finally went in. Heirloom has a cozy vibe with lots of windows. Great place to work, meet up with a friend or friends, enjoy a nice cup of something. I ordered a banana bread latte...it was absolutely perfect. I also had the Ube donut, I can't describe the deliciousness, but it was perfect as well. The peppermint tea was just tea, but the presentation in the glass tea pot was perfect, with a matching glass mug. The service was good. Everyone was friendly and the young lady at the register was helpful when I asked for a suggestion. They also have a breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner menus that look wonderful.

    Everything was delicious! Loved finding Taiwanese during our trip to NC. Such a cute cafe with unique and delicious breakfast

    This is the perfect place to relax and catch up with friends or have a long study session. The ambiance is great and the coffee is even better.

    Taiwanese bowls and sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Order at counter for service. Coffee bar/cafe vibe. Urban feel. Casual downtown crowd of all ages and diversity. I enjoyed the sweet chili salmon bowl and housemade chocolate chip cookie dusted with flaky sea salt. Yum. Minimal decor, clean, inviting.

    Chicken Rice Porridge Breakfast with egg and chili oil !!!
    Jeannette L.

    So I fell in love with Heirloom Brewshop. I stopped here for breakfast before my train ride out of Raleigh this morning. I was in the city for a work conference and would not have much free/downtime at all this week, but I had planned to check this place out before I left. I knew it was within walking distance of Union Station (so I could swing it in time for my train) and it had some interesting menu items from what I saw online. I ordered a large cold brew and a chicken rice porridge with a fried egg and chili oil. Quality cold brew - from the first sip. That congee was one of the best congees that I've had in a really long time. My first spoonful was full of flavor. The spring onions were fresh and added a perfect crunch. The yoke of the egg was just right, and the chili oil brought it to another level of delicious. When I got there, only a few people were seated at the tables, but in time the place filled up with customers and was bustling. There was a mix - lone remote workers on their laptops with caffeinated drinks next to them, couples and twosomes, a small group of five, a mother and her five year old. I can assume most are locals who live in the area and are regulars. And the people working at Heirloom were friendly, kind, and chatted it up with people. It feels like a nice community there and Heirloom is a hub (well, that's what I saw during my visit and saw as an interloper/outsider). Before I left, I also bought a few things to bring home as gifts for my husband and co-workers. They have an assortment of whole bean coffee bags, matcha tins, chocolates, and alcoholic drinks (I didn't get these but FYI they are sold there). Their inventory is well curated and from many from independent suppliers. I got a matcha tin for my husband, and coffee and chocolate bars for work. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but I figured it's a good way to support local businesses. I would stop by Heirloom every week if I were a local. If you are in the area, you can't sleep on this place.

    Fried Chicken Biscuit
    Victoria K.

    Just had the most delicious breakfast here. Chicken biscuit was out of this world crispy, salty, sweet. Will be craving it later for sure. The baguette was also really yummy. Highly recommend. Excited to return for dinner and try more dishes. Very kind and helpful server as well

We came in with some friends on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergy, which was actually no problem here. So if that is a dietary concern for you or a loved one - this is a great spot to bring them! We were all able to enjoy a majority of the food. My partner and I both enjoyed a mocktail version of the roselle freezy - it was amazing! Either as a mocktail or a cocktail, you should try this drink. For starters, we had the crispy chicken wings, spring rolls with veggies, and the lettuce wraps. We all enjoyed the chicken wings so much that we got a second order of them. I enjoyed the spring rolls much more than the lettuce wraps as they had more flavor to them. For dinner, we shared an order of the Manda Amphone's Curry and the chicken pad thai. I originally did not expect to be blown away by the pad thai - boy, was I wrong. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. If you love pad thai, you need to try theirs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the curry. Both dishes were rich and flavorful and came with enough to share between 4 adults. Overall, not having been to Bida Manda in 10+ years, I was impressed and will definitely return.

There are different version, of course, since this spicy noodle dish is served not only in Laos, but also in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, and The USA.
