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)!

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.

The cinnamon bun/scroll is HEAVENLY: think soft, pillowy, buttery layered brioche swirled with sugary, cinnamony deliciousness. I recommend getting up early in the morning to get one of those babies nice and hot out of the oven - I did and I did not regret it. The service was impeccable: I told the guy behind the counter that I was in a bit of a hurry and the food was brought to the table in less than 10 minutes. Everyone including all the waiters I chatted with were lovely. Will definitely come back when/if I am back!

There is usually a busy atmosphere in there these days as it's become a deservedly popular spot to meet friends and colleagues for coffee or lunch. The brunch menu is good, with enough vegetarian options, and the cooks will also make non-meat versions on request, which is great. The cabinet is full of interesting salads and nice cakes too! Service is prompt and if you don't like your coffee they will remake it without being grumpy about it - as real baristas should. Unfortunately, the coffee does not appear to be Fair Trade - it would be great if this could be looked at, as then the Good Oil would deserve a 5 star rating.
