Breakfast tacos with burnt ends and a side of grits
Edie A.

Went for breakfast on a Saturday and expected a wait at this bustling place, but was happy only to have a five-minute wait. Giant clocks and colorful decor adorn the walls. Known for their scratch-made items, my bestie and I had to start with their cinnamonster. (Note: Maybe end with this instead of starting. It is a monster roll and will fill you up!) It was delicious with just the right texture of dough and the perfect amount of cinnamon and frosting. No bite left behind! I tried to select something a little lighter for my main meal to offset the monster, so I went with breakfast tacos on corn tortillas with burnt ends. These were also very flavorful, and I had grits as my side. Needless to say, half of my entree ended up being packed up and coming home with me. Cinnamonster - 1, Belly - Full.

Great place for breakfast/brunch in Aurora as you head out east toward Gartrell and E470. Heritage Cafe is located in the corner of a strip mall and gets very busy, very quickly, especially on the weekends, so prepare for a wait. (ours was less than 10 minutes) It's worth the wait!! Heritage Cafe has a large menu with a variety of options to choose from. They have boozy brunch cocktails as well if you are so inclined- I was and ordered a Bloody Maria. This was delicious as was the strip of bacon that came with the drink. Yum! We also gave their cinnamon roll a shot, and were very pleased with the gooey, deliciousness of this baked good! I tried the chilaquiles for my main entree and was pleasantly impressed. I did order my eggs sunny side up, and well, they tried but they came out a little over cooked-no biggie though. Our server was very nice and kept tabs on us frequently throughout our meal- this was very much appreciated!

Ham and cheese quiche
Rick G.

Hi, this is my first visit to this restaurant. We chose it because our friends look for good gluten-free options. This place does fit the bill for that. For our breakfast, we had the ham and cheese quiche and I had the burnt ends omelette. I'd never quite had an omelette like that, but it was delicious, the burnt ends were tender and it had broccoli in it, which was a nice healthy option and it was covered in green chili queso. All in all a great experience, good food and the service was great and will certainly be back again.

My goodness gracious lawddddddddd Heritage Cafe is the BEST Cafe I've ever had in my life! That's big since Texas has tons of cafes! Heritage Cafe offers breakfast and Lunch options and everything is freshly baked cooked, purposely sourced, and made with love. You can taste it. Staff is super welcoming and friendly! Attentive 100! It seems like they have a lot of locals and regulars because the staff remembers people by name. That was awesome to see they ask how their customers family is doing. Love to see that! The highly ranked reviews of this place says it all. The food is phenomenal! We ordered: Monkey bread: 100000000/100000000 5/5xtrillion lol if that's possible I would give this to them. The monkey bread is the best ive ever had! Our waitress recommended this since it one of their top seller and they make fresh daily because they sell out! It's little knots of heavy! It's like a cinnamon bun but in knots on steriods. Salty sweet and addictedly so good you can't stop eating it! Now I am forever ruined and dreaming of these from Texas! If Hertiage Cafe would ship these I would order it! * pork pig Benny: 3/5 the pull pork was a bit salty and over powering. The hollidaise sauce was a flavor bomb! That duck fat made the sauce so special and craveable! The eggs were cooked perfectly! Pico was pico. The hash browns were the best! The crispy bits were so good and I love that they weren't greasy! * burn ends Benny: 4/5 I think this one was way better then the pork piggy Benny. Meat wasn't dry or over salted . Perfect and tasty! English muffin was yummy! Soft yet crispy from it being toasted! *London fog: 4/5 tasty! * 2 sliced of thick bacon for $6.95- 1/5 not worth it. The bacon wasn't anything special for that price. I know it's high quality bacon but it tastes the same as any thick bacon I've had before. Do I recommend this place? If you haven't tried Heritage Cafe, you haven't had the best cafe in your life. Yes you heard it. Highly recommend with flying colors and in bold! Get the monkey bread and Benny! I can't wait to return to try their other items. We were hoping we would have time to come back to try their other items on the menu but we ran out of time during our trip and didn't get a chance to which I'm super bummed! It's so freaking good!

CINNAMONSTER
Haley R.

This place was a really nice surprise. Super friendly service and a great homestyle vibe. They use clarified butter, no chemicals and/or duck fat for their meals. The quality is fantastic. We each had a quality homemade latte. The shrimp and grits are amazing, the shrimp are huge and the flavor is so vibrant. My wife had the ham steak and eggs with the homemade biscuit--they had homemade peach jam! We also split the cinnamonster, which really is as good as they brag about.

Chilaquiles
Sunshyne R.

This little cafe tucked into the corner of a shopping center was our choice for a Sunday morning breakfast. We were seated immediately in a cozy little space. It was so cute and warm. Our server was right on top of taking care of us. We ordered coffee, candied bacon, chilaquiles, and biscuit and gravy. The candied bacon came out right away, it was a large portion and was such a perfect blend of spice, sweetness and crunch. Our entrees came out a few moments later and they were absolutely beautiful. The chilaquiles were exquisite. So many restaurants make them soggy but these were just right, a blend of cheese, beautiful salsa verde and crunchy chips. The biscuits and gravy were different but in a good way-the cream gravy was made with steak and jalapeno which I hadn't had but was delicious on the fluffy biscuits. Everyone here was very helpful and kind. This is a spot you don't want to miss!

Summer special pancakes with citrus cream sauce and tons of berries!
Michelle W.

Allergen Friendly! Gluten free selection is huge. We have tons of allergies including gluten, dairy, nuts, seed oils etc and they took care of it all! All of our drinks and food were fantastic. Amazing service from Michelle and everyone else too! Beautiful and very clean restaurant and patio. We went here two days in a row and we are planning on going on a very regular basis.

GF PORKY PIG BENNY
Meghan M.

We had a delicious brunch here on a Sunday at 10am. There were plenty of gluten free options, including GF pancakes, Belgian waffles, toast, buns and English muffins. It took less than 10 minutes for the three of us to get a table. I ordered an Americano and the Porky Pig Benedict on GF muffin, with hollandaise on the side, and fruit. Both my drink and meal were fantastic. My friend ordered the Charlie sandwich, with the upgraded shaved ham. She said the sandwich was delicious, ham worth the upcharge, and the side of hashbrowns were perfect. My other friend ordered the AvoBowl, and she said it was fine, but lacked in flavor. We also ordered the seasonal citrus pancake to share, customized to be gluten free. When the food came out, I asked if what the served us was gluten free to be sure, and the food runner recognized that it likely wasn't. They quickly addressed it, let our friend who can eat gluten take that one home, and remade us a GF cake. I appreciate their quick honesty and how they made it right (and the seasonal cake was delicious!) This restaurant was bustling but our drinks were constantly refilled by our attentive server. I came here with just my friends but would easily come back with my kids, too. It's a friendly, comfortable atmosphere.

Someone recommended this place, and I must say that even though the service and food were good, I don't particularly enjoy eating breakfast, having flies flying around me and around the table. I spotted three flies!!! I told the waiter, but there is not much they can do. If I was sitting outside, I could understand, but inside? No, thank you! I will not come back. You can go and try it out; the food is not bad! Good luck!

Chicken fried chicken breakfast!
Hemming A.

We have been coming here since shortly after opening and it's hard for us to go anywhere else for brunch. The service is always outstanding, and the made from scratch food is some of the best around. Usually quick table turnover so even when busy it's not too bad of a wait. Sit inside or on patio. The go-to breakfast brunch lunch place in SE Aurora!

Breakfast Burrito, Pancake, Omelette and sides
Lauren D.

Had a lovely experience at Heritage recently! The restaurant was packed on a Saturday morning, there was a small wait which went by pretty quickly. Our server was wonderful (Maria maybe?), she was kind and friendly and always made sure we had what we needed. The food came very quickly and was pretty good. We ordered an array of items, everything was as ordered, and was quite tasty. Especially for the price, we had plenty of leftovers and are looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

We also tried the ribeye bibimbap, and it was delicious. It came out in a cast-iron skillet with…read moretender ribeye over rice, a fried egg with a perfect runny yolk, bean sprouts, spinach, shredded carrots, and pickled cucumber and radish. Lots of flavor and texture in every bite. The BBQ chicken salad was just okay. It had all the right pieces (black beans, corn, pico de gallo, avocado, cheese, and crispy tortilla strips), but something was missing, and I couldn't quite figure out what. The grilled chicken plate was the one real letdown. The chicken had great grill marks but was a little too dry. The sides made up for it, though. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and the green beans, cherry tomatoes, and almonds were grilled perfectly, along with a charred lemon and a sauce on the side. Overall, a great value and a mostly excellent meal. Next time I'm going straight for the grilled cheese and onion rings, and I'd happily get the bibimbap, Korean lunch bowl, again.

I updated the review because we had been a few times and had good experiences. I don't think we'll…read morebe back for a while now. We went in and no one wanted to claim our table. We finally got a server to stop, but we kept getting ignored. He apologized by saying "sorry ,this isn't my section so I have my blinders on." I'm sorry what?! We were sitting right by the bar as you come out of the kitchen, and you literally walked by us every five minutes. WTF? We're very understanding people, but this was just unacceptable. We should've got his name, but by the time we got the check, we just wanted to get out of there. The stay was a little too lengthy! Do better lazy dog.

Great place for brunch. When we came it was pretty busy. We waited 20 min before being seated but…read moreit was worth it. The place is small but they made the best use of what they had. Inside and outside seating is available. Service was great. Our waitress was rushing the whole time with all of her tables. The food: I had biscuits & gravy, and a Twisted Philly. Both were really good. I really enjoyed the spice in the Philly. My wife really liked her chicken fried steak. She nearly ate the whole thing. My son liked the hangover bowl but he wanted more tortillas. He got 2 and tried tipping my home fries to see if it would be good. Other than that, our meal was good.

Well, after church of course always looking for a place to eat breakfast hubby and I and I actually…read moreused Yelp reviews to determine where we were going to eat and we ended up at Twisted Egg based on reviews and photos. The space is nice and quaint but the seats at the high top tables made for an uncomfortable sitting situation for me. My butt isn't big but it's not small but I kept sliding while seated as did my husband so he grabbed a yellow chair from the bar. We even had a conversation with the table next to us and they experienced the same thing! Anyway, I ordered the grilled chicken avocado sandwich and the house potatoes and a coke. Not bad, loved the house potatoes and a side of bacon cooked extra crispy. My hubby ordered pancakes, two patties (frozen) eggs and house potatoes too. He said they were ok but ate the food any way. The customer experience wasn't bad at all the waitress was quick and doing her best to get the food out hot and fresh. One thing would be great is to ask guests if it's their first time and share the favorites of the house and make recommendations. My suggestions to the owner, please replace the sliding chairs and if you need help getting some wooded high bar chairs, I can help. Would I try it again ?
