Heritage House Coffee Towncenter

Words just can't express how awesome this place is. The atmosphere is so inviting and the staff is always attentive and happy to serve. I love their sandwiches too! You can certainly tell that they have made a push to make everything in house and of the highest quality. You won't even think about going to starbucks after you try Tuscaloosa's Oldest Coffee House!

Usually I am a big fan of this place, but this location seems to have a rude staff. We arrived and ordered by 8:30 a.m. There was practically no one patronizing, so I thought we'd get our food quickly. I was wrong. It took a half HR before I went in to ask about our food. She brings our food (we're outside) and my eggs are cold. It was a simple order that was simply forgotten. I did not eat my food. Not happy.

Great little coffee shop. You pick your own unique mug if you don't want one to go. The breakfast/ lunch menu is more than adequate and they'll make you some special items and things they used to serve by request.

For instance, I thoroughly enjoy the Jerry's Special, even though it's been off the menu for over a year. I hope I'm not getting eye-rolls from everyone for saying that.

Amazing selection of food and drinks. Great service! Great indoor space to study or relax, though I have not been dining indoors lately. Luckily there is some seating available outdoors in the shade of the building.

Only reason why I give this a 4 instead of a 5 is because their drive thru tends to be VERY slow. The food and drink is amazing, but I have had to wait 30+ minutes on food in the driveway before.

I was 15 and in high school when I discovered the magic of Heritage House. Back then I came for the peach tea and it quickly became a regular chill spot after school. While they have long since moved from that location by Winn-Dixie in Northport, I fondly recall the time I spent there.
The menu and offerings have changed too, as one would expect, yet they still have the best coffee in town and the food is superb! If you've never been, what are you waiting for? You're only missing out on something special and uniquely Tuscaloosa. If for no other reason, go and try the baked oatmeal. I promise you are in for a real treat! I have it myself at least once a week!
There are currently two Heritage House locations in Tuscaloosa; my go-to is the one just off McFarland Blvd. It is quite spacious with multiple entrances and a drive thru! It consists of a number of beautifully decorated rooms, each different from the last. Much of the decor is for sale so you can easily take a bit of that charm home, or give someone that perfect gift!
Each room is perfect for losing yourself in a good book - I like to be near the fireplace myself. There are plenty of seating options for studying and working - alone or in a group of any size. Of course there are amazing tables to dine on and plenty of ways to really soak up and enjoy the atmosphere, whatever you're into. From what I understand, they also will cater and are doing event hosting now too. They are able to accommodate nearly any size group, whether it be for a wedding, graduation party, a baby shower, book club meeting, a wine tasting, or even your office holiday party!

Perhaps it would be possible to have more than 1 cash register for the indoors? 30-45min wait just to order and pay.

Nice place to just sit down and have a chat, very cozy. Their desserts are very nice too, ranging from brownies to cookies to pastries. They also have all sorts of coffees you could think of. Overall, this place is very nice and I highly recommend it.

Their cold brew is the best I’ve had! I think it’s worth going out of the way for. The employees are kind and hard working despite the pandemic right now! Also please try their baked granola, it’s awesome and I don’t even like granola usually

This is a great place to have morning coffee I went before I had a physical for my new job the other morning after getting off of work that night. It was a great place to not only grab coffee from but also I ordered the baked oatmeal which was amazing with lots of strawberries and bananas on it. If you go you will not be disappointed.
