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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Cool ambiance with seating and local newspapers and magazines to read. A cool assortment of bear and other spirits. The cheese scone was very good and more flavorful than most scones I've had. The service I received was friendly and professional. The latte art was good but I forgot a pic. Great place to stop by before or after going to the train station but otherwise a mor difficult part of downtown to park in. read more

I wish I had sat and enjoyed the atmosphere a bit longer because it was great. The lighting & vibes were so chill, it was super clean, and the food was chefs kiss. I got the Taiwanese fried chicken rice bowl with a sweet chili sauce... it was to die for. I also got an iced matcha latte w/ oat milk and vanilla syrup and that was nice. If I have the chance to come here again I'd ask for extra matcha because it wasn't strong enough for me-was on the milkier side! read more

This has got to be one of the prettiest cafes/restaurants in Raleigh. The decor is so pretty and I love all the plants and open windows. That vibe made for the perfect work spot. I have to say that I can no longer make a regular breakfast sandwich after having this baguette- it was SUPERB. The fluffy eggs, the seasoned mayo, and the hint of spice was literally addicting! I enjoyed my matcha as well but may try adding a syrup next time for enhancement. I also loved how they brought all the items to you and very quick even though they were busy since there was an event going on. All in all this is a must try spot! read more
Wanted to stop by during my time in Raleigh, as I heard this was a pretty cool Asian spot to check out, and it definitely was worth! This brew shop has really lovely vibes and a modern chique aesthetic, with the combination of nice lighting, wood furniture and ceiling structures, and plants around the shop. It's a really nice place to come chill with some friends, or bust out your laptop and do some work! Bathrooms were also clean so that's a plus. My friends really enjoyed their drinks, and I enjoyed the pastries I had; reasonably priced and tasted very fresh. I think it's also really cool that they have some shelf goods for sale, including various types of coffee grounds and Asian snacks, even Momofuku chili oil! read more

Coffee and Food was so good ! I had a white chocolate cappuccino which was amazing and so cute ! I also got the chicken porridge, you have to add the egg and chili oil !! It's soooo good !) and I got my baby the buttermilk biscuit with strawberry jam and she ate so much of it. The service was really quick and the employees were super nice ! They also have so many options not just for food but for drinks as well ! I did have a slight problem that I should've noticed when I was there, the barista accidentally rang up the breakfast plater instead of the biscuit which over charged me by about $15 but after a quick email the owner refunded the difference and apologized for the issue. Simple mistake, didn't change my experience ! 12/10 recommend this place for great coffee, food and amazing service ! read more

INTRO: Heirloom café is a specialty coffee and tea house in Raleigh specializing in Laotian and Taiwanese drink Xieng Khuoang Lao fog ($6): It's a classic Lao tea, brewed espresso-style over sweetened condensed milk, Its orange in color. You won't be disappointed. They have other speciality drink toos Parking: Since this is located near Raleigh union station, parking can be an issue. If you don't get street parking, there is a paid parking lot down the street. Ambience and Service: The place is clean and well maintained. They have indoor seating, bar style seating and cozy sofas. The ambience is modern and cool. They do have some tables and chair for outdoor seating. read more

This coffee shop is conveniently next to a parking garage right near the station. My friend and I were impressed by the light and airy interior. I ordered the Hojicha iced latte with oatmilk, and my friend got the Chai latte. We both loved our drinks; I had never had a Hojicha latte before, and this drink opened me up to a new flavor I never knew could taste so good. There is a water dispenser available for free water and plenty of comfortable seating. This seems like a great place to study/work or hold meetings. They also sell sake and other merchandise. read more
Excellent coffee shop that also has a small food menu. I tried the Lao fog latte, which was awesome - tasted like Thai iced tea, but hot - as well as the Taiwanese fried chicken and salted plum moon cake. The chicken was good, though a little hard to eat because it was one big slab as opposed to individual pieces. Definitely will be back for more drinks (I need to actually try the coffee)! read more
I loved coming to Heirloom to get a pot of tea and work. Came here recently post covid and they've started serving tea in to-go cups. The lack of the glass pot and cup has totally ruined the tea drinking experience. I hope they bring back the teapot and cup soon. read more

After arriving at the Raleigh Union Station, I took to the street to find a little coffee shop to relax in. We happened by this one and it looks super cute and fun so we stopped by. I ordered the Brown sugar 5 spice iced latte with oat milk. It was super yummy and very "spicy". The barista was kind and quick and brought my coffee to my table. The atmosphere was super chill and cute. The wood artwork on the ceiling was extremely fun and felt stylish. The music was jazzy and added to the ambiance. They had outlets to charge your phone/laptop as well. Perfect spot to relax a bit after the train ride. read more

We went to Heirloom for the first time on Saturday night and we were impressed. My wife and I stopped by for small plates but I chose a dessert instead. That was the best dessert so far I get in the triangle until now. I really appreciate the taste who were surprising for a dessert cause it was sweet and salty. Spicy, crunchy, creamy at the same time. So at the bottom it was some sweet red bean sauce, the biscuit was in shape of Cannoli, on the top there were vanilla ice Cream and hot pepper chili oil. Une vraie petite fête ! We met the chef brifly who tell us it's looks good on the picture but it tastes even better ;) The place was chic with a good location in Downtown Raleigh. read more

super cute place. matcha was so so good; evenly green and evenly sweet. paired it with a mochi matcha donut :) read more
What a gem. This place literally checks all my boxes. It's aesthetic, bright, has great drinks AND food, and...it's perfect. I found Heirloom on Yelp/Instagram, and I'm so glad that I chose to visit for my last day in the Durham area. I wish I could bring this place to Austin with me, but it's definitely somewhere I'll keep in the back of my mind for when I visit again. I ordered their egg salad sando, chicken congee, and vanilla iced latte. Food came out pretty quickly. Their vanilla iced latte was alright, and I have had better. However, their food is so delicious. I loved their egg salad sando. They make their chips in-house, toast the bread, and the egg salad is seasoned perfectly. Their chicken congee is INCREDIBLE. It's weird to rave about congee, but they put a lot of chicken, green onion, and garlic flakes into the congee so that every bite is very flavorful. They also include homemade hot chili oil, and it's actually really spicy! I love this place. 5 stars for me. read more

This place is able to deliver as a top tier coffee shop during the day, perfect for your laptop work or a lazy afternoon reading space, while also providing a stylish and delicious date night dining experience. The staff are very friendly and create an intimate vibe, cocktails are delicious, food is banging, head chef and owner both pop out to the front frequently to make sure everything is good read more

We came here on a Saturday morning for some coffee and breakfast and overall were a bit underwhelmed by the place. Interior is very pretty, if I were to describe in one word I'd say it's chic. Bright and white, with pink and wood accents, chill music playing, there's just something about it. Anyway breakfast menu only had a breakfast baguette, overnight oats, gravy + baguette, and nori fingerlings. That's it. Can't be full from nori or gravy, personally I'm not a fan of oats, so that left me with breakfast baguette as the only choice, so I skipped the meal. Ended up just grabbing cold brew. I went for a standard 16oz cold brew with brown sugar & 5 spice flavor which apparently they make in-house. It was good but not the best coffee and I didn't taste my flavor at all (and no, I don't have covid.) I don't like nor expect it to have fifty pumps of flavor like at Starbucks, no, but there was seriously not a hint of flavor, just coffee. My partner got large cold brew with caramel and it tasted exactly same as mine, just cold brew with cream. Part of me thinks they must have forgotten to add the flavor, honestly. Cold brew itself was good but not the best, there are better coffee spots in downtown if you're about coffee. I very much enjoyed the vibe here but sadly won't go out of my way to visit this spot again. read more
We've visited Heirloom several times since our last review and have fallen in love with the cafe! We're big fans of their Hojicha Latte, which is perfectly rich, sweet, and smoky. For food, we've tried the Heirloom Breakfast Baguette, consisting of scallion eggs, bacon, kewpie mayo, cheese, and chili oil in a khao jee roll. The sandwich was delicious and super flavorful! The eggs were seasoned perfectly and worked well with the other sandwich components. Probably the best cafe food we've had! Overall, a top tier cafe in the Triangle! read more

Disclaimer: I'm reviewing this for the breakfast food. As just a place to get tea/coffee, I may have rated it higher. We were looking for a breakfast place and this seemed to be ideal. It was fairly bright with natural lighting, and a fair number of tables for a tea shop. I saw several solo people working at the tables on their laptops. They also had tables outside if you are brave enough to withstand the heat. The breakfast was just not good. The choices were extremely limited, and didn't sound very appetizing. My travel companion settled on a cheese scone (which she said tasted like straight Parmesan) and I had a dry, crumbly muffin likely there for days. On a positive note, I had the lavender chamomile tea, and it was good. read more
Before visiting Heirloom Brewshop, I read up about it online. A lot of the online discussion revolved around how Instagramable the shop was. The people driving these discussions certainly knew what they were talking about. Heirloom Brewshop has beautiful decor. It is full of soft, natural light. There are many spots around the shop that could serve as an excellent backdrop for your latte's photoshoot. Ok, I get it, Heirloom can make drinks that look good. But how good do those brews taste? I decided to try something a bit different at Heirloom. I ordered a vegan coconut and brown sugar iced latte with oat milk. After snapping a few pictures, I took my first sip and...was blown away. This latte did not taste like coffee. It also did not taste like vegan milk. It was like an all new drink. My only disappointment was that the drink wasn't bigger. The experience ended all too quickly. So why only four stars? Heirloom also brews tea and my wife ordered their Jasmine version. The presentation was great! They brought out a tiny teapot with tea and poured it directly from the teapot into an iced glass. But, the tea was a bit bitter for my wife's liking. read more

We came here for breakfast and ordered 2 espresso-based drinks and a few warm breakfast items. Be prepared to wait a little as everything is made to order. It was certainly worth the wait! My caramel cappuccino was perfection; just the right amount of subtle sweetness. We enjoyed our warm Asian inspired breakfast, though I wish there were more options. It looks like their menu has more options for lunch. They have ample seating inside and also some tables outside (with a view of the train station across the street). read more

Heirloom Brewshop was my first stop in Raleigh and it was a very lovely welcome - a great place to park for a few hours to get some work done. Ambiance: very modern, yet soft and relaxed atmosphere. Not much noise though, so I wouldn't suggest taking any calls or first dates here. Menu: love the Asian influence on the menu, recognized dishes I eat at home with my parents. Admittedly, it felt random for the 'coffee house' vibe, but also, it's alright for an Asian-owned business to exist without "traditional oriental decor" (red, gold, etc). More of this please! Cost: exactly what you would expect for a place that looks like this read more

This was a charming find in downtown Raleigh! This cute little coffee shop has a wide variety of coffee and tea options. They may be a little pricey, but the drinks are absolutely delicious and you can tell they are of extremely high quality. I'd highly recommend the Lao Fog. It's like a thai iced tea in a latte. In general, the lattes are quirky and unique. I also tried a brown sugar latte that I really liked. The decor of this coffee shop is absolutely beautiful and kind of romantic. There is wood paneling that surrounds the shop kind of like a bird cage. In terms of seating, the shop is kind of small and only has a few tables and chairs, but they have made the most of the space. read more
