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 coffees were great and I ordered the most delicious mocha I've had in NZ. The presentation was beautiful and pricing was good too. The cafe turns into a bar-like area at night and place looks a bit rustic but quality seems pretty good to me. For wifi, just ask the barista and they'll give you a slip of paper with the password. Regarding service, this lady barista (I never got her name) was so considerate that we were from out of town and helped us with the wifi and giving us suggestions on what to order. I don't know how this cafe is normally, but at 5PM on a Monday, we were the only customers there. But all in all, if I ever find myself in Oamaru again, I'll definitely hit this place up for a good cup of Joe.

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)!

We stopped here to take a quick restroom break on our way to the waterfall track and recalled a local who had recommended visiting this place. She couldn't remember the name but the way she described it made it obvious to us when we saw it along the roadside. I'm so glad we stopped by. It was a nice break from the endless rolling hill farmland drive. We were here on the weekend and it was busy but didn't feel overcrowded. It's probably packed in the summer but if you can stop by here it is definitely worthwhile!
