I travel often and decided that I couldn't stand another hotel breakfast. I opened yelp and found that the Heritage Coffee Shoppe was close to my hotel so I decided to check it out.
It's located in a strip mall and not very inviting looking from the outside, but my mother always told me not to never judge a book by its cover, so I walked in.
The staff was friendly, brought me a menu and coffee very quickly, the coffee was great by the way and in a very large cup. There was plenty of seating available this Wednesday morning.
I ordered my personal go-to favorite diner breakfast: a Greek omelette and a side of Rye toast. I threw couple of curveballs and asked for an egg white version of the omelette and no butter on my toast. My order was executed perfectly and it was delicious!
It's always difficult to navigate through the trivial criticisms of the reviews of local restaurants on yelp and other sources but I have no hesitation in recommending this place for breakfast and I will be back again. -

Walked in around 1pm...just after the lunch rush. Dirty plates still scattered on the majority of empty tables so we decide to take a seat at the counter. Little did we know, we happened to be sitting on the preferred stools of some of the "regulars" however we very quickly became aware as these "regulars" were quite vocal about it when they walked in and expressed their displeasure with the old hag waitress behind the counter (I'll get back to her in a minute). Newsflash: If you don't want non-regular customers to sit at the counter, clear the dirty dishes off the freaking tables.
Back to the old hag behind the counter...she could hardly walk, was limping around and could barely carry plates out of the kitchen. And instead of taking care of paying/tipping customers (who order more than 1 sandwich for 2 people to split) or clearing tables, she was leaning on a wall talking with the rude, displaced regulars. She at one point did ask me if I wanted a refill on my coffee (I said yes) but then proceeded to shuffle by me twice with the pot of coffee in her hand but never stopped to add more coffee to my mug....but guess whose coffee was replenished multiple times...the rude regulars.
Moral of the story...unless you're a "regular" don't bother with this dump. -

Stopped in for breakfast with my wife today. We were seated quickly and got coffee and juice before our breakfast the menu was pretty good and had some interesting items so my wife got a typical 2 eggs hash browns sausage and Italian toast , I ordered a hash and eggs and hash browns . The food came out in a reasonable time the place was starting to get busy. My wife's breakfast was pretty good she said but her Italian toast was cold. My hash and eggs were pretty much flavorless and my Italian toast was cold and stale , too bad because there plenty of good bakery's in the area to get good Italian bread from and any cook that would send out toast like we got isn't paying attention . Overall the service was good and the prices were reasonable.

Ok, so this is purely my own experience and I know that this probably does not happen all the time. However, today was my first time eating here. It was a bit busy, kinda at the tail end of the breakfast burst. Our waitress was pleasant and sweet and gave us our coffees and Waters in a timely manner. We then all order and our food starts to come out maybe 20 or so minutes later. I then get my plate last, which was The New Yorker. I specifically asked for medium hard eggs.
Now, a medium cooked egg has a slightly runny yoke. A hard cooked egg has no runny yoke, it's cooked all they way through. So when I saw my eggs I was really grossed out, honestly. My egg yokes were runny and one yoke had already popped it's gooeyness all in my hash and corned beef. It's a texture/taste thing. I then ask to please have medium hard and then the waitress totally acts like the eggs were cooked medium hard and that they'll cook the eggs "hard."
Ummm, what. It's runny. That's not even medium. wth...I was kinda irritated that the waitress just couldn't say "oh let's get you those eggs, so sorry." I know she didn't cook them but why are you trying to argue with me about what was presented before me and deny that they're not what I ordered. So I wait for my plate.
Everyone at my table is digging in.. I'm still waiting. By this time my friends are halfway done eating. My plate comes back and I immediately thank her. I look down and see hard cooked eggs..not medium hard *whatever* and also.... friggin home fries. I ordered hash browns :(
Now I'm already feeling like a jerk because truly I'm irritated with our waitress and I hate feeling like I'm a need customer. But honestly, the lack of attention to my order was really disappointing. Oh yeah, so we reordered hash browns because...yeah ugh I suck at voicing the correct order. I didn't want to make our waitress feel bad.
I'm sorry my experience wasn't a real great one. Fortunately the food is delicious, the crepe special was perfect. Yummmm. Will I go back? Not soon :/ sorry. -

So bad. Just cook at home.
My young son and I decided to get breakfast today at Heritage, and we left knowing that we would never make the same mistake again. I remember my whole family dined here years ago, and we vowed to not go back...something about under-cooked eggs...we should have learned from this experience, but it had been so long, (we thought maybe the cooks had changed...we were hoping), and we were hungry, and seriously .... how bad of an experience could it be to get a couple eggs and a bagel? Well, shoot.
We were seated, and the waitress was friendly when she took our drink order...off to a good start...the streak ends here. Over 5 minutes to bring our drinks, and after we ordered, I kid you not, it took 50 minutes ... 50!!!!! minutes for our breakfast to arrive. We were more than done with our drinks after about 15 minutes, and started making jokes about how long it was taking. My son and I made bets and set the timer on my phone. The restaurant wasn't full, mind you...I'd say steady, but certainly not super busy.
The wait was unacceptable, however if the breakfast was amazing, I probably wouldn't have written a review. Not amazing. The opposite of amazing. My son's heavy pancake and side of bacon came out about 5 minutes before my food did. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs, a grilled bagel with CC, sausage links and home fries. The eggs were withered and cold. The sausage links not cooked. The potatoes, hard and cold. The bagel...maybe placed on the grill for 10 seconds. I was starving. I ate the bagel and asked for the check. When the waitress brought it back there was no total...I looked puzzled and she said, "oh do you want me to add it up for you?" Nope, I'm good.
Over a twenty dollar bill for myself and my child. Over an hour in the restaurant, and I came home hungry.
I know this establishment has been around forever, and I do love me a family shop, but the entire operation was completely unacceptable. Never ever again.
