Heritage House Coffee Riverfront

"Best coffee you can get in Tuscaloosa with a truly nice atmosphere!"

"Heritage house has been my go-to coffee shop for 3 years and I visit at least once a week to study and get a coffee. However, I have noticed a decline in the quality of their coffee. I always get an iced latte or breve and recently I’ve found that they are either very dark and watery or way too light and milky with no depth of flavor. When I order a breve, a few times I’ve received a latte instead and so I’ve asked them to remake it and they’ve always kindly done that for me. However, it’s a bit frustrating as this used to be my favorite place to go and they’ve just been really inconsistent and not good. I’ve attached a photo of a white chocolate breve I recently ordered that I couldn’t even finish because it tasted so off. Couldn’t taste the coffee- like it was overly milky but there was also a weird overall taste. Even for a breve, it shouldn’t have been this light in color."

"I Googled “best coffee in Tuscaloosa” and this came up! Game on! Being the coffee snob I am, challenge accepted! Maps brought me to the address but it wasn’t apparent that I was here. The gold letters on the glass door made it hard to distinguish. Once I figure it out, I’m happy I did! Great atmosphere with a laid back vibe. Ordered a medium latte and cranberry orange scone for a little over $6, I believe. I asked for ristretto shots to see what they knew. Cashier didn’t but barista said she knew but couldn’t do it (pre-programmed shots, I’m sure!) I had fun explaining to cashier. Foam was extra silky smooth but disappointed it was in a to-go cup when I was sitting in. It looked wonderful! All in all, nit picking but seems like a GREAT place. Thanks for serving!"

"Been coming here for years and never thought to give them a review. As a coffee shop the place is excellent - really good coffee and outstanding baked goods. I recommend their cranberry orange scone the most (though all scones are great) and their bran muffin is also ridiculously good. There’s plenty of other options, even blended smoothie types - the chocolate mint is particularly tasty. They’ve been doing light food like sandwiches for a while too, their BLT is quite good if not as good as if you were at a regular full restaurant. Tons of light everywhere, super friendly staff, it’s a great place to come get some work done on your laptop, read a book, or hangout with people. Doesn’t usually get noisy and I find it fairly priced. Definitely my Saturday morning spot most weeks. If you’ve never been, you won’t be disappointed."

"We went two Saturdays in a row because we enjoyed it so much. My husband and I had the Sweater Weather latte with oat milk and no whip. I had the blueberry muffin, pumpkin muffin, and avocado toast with an egg. We also tried their pumpkin scone as well. The muffins are big and the pumpkin muffin had delicious cream cheese in the top. It did not have the fake pumpkin taste that often pumpkin flavored things have. All of the pastries had a good texture and flavor. I did not like the pumpkin scone as much. I wish the avocado toast had been a little more warm and toasty when it came out but overall it tasted good. The time between ordering and when the food came was pretty fast."
