I recently stopped by Heirloom Cafe, and let me just say, the Lao Fog is a must-try! This drink is bursting with flavor - rich, creamy, and a bit of magic in a cup. It's one of those rare finds that makes you want to come back just for another sip.A small heads-up: the kitchen is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so if you visit on those days, you're limited to a selection of pastries. While I missed out on their full menu, the pastries were still tasty and paired perfectly with my Lao Fog. Definitely worth the visit, and I'll be back to try more.

Love everything about this place! Their menu is high quality, the staff goes out of their way to provide great service, the ambiance is calm even when it gets packed. I love the way they decorated this cafe! Very earthy, clean & modern. They have strong wifi and plenty of outlets for you to work. There is only garage or street parking. Will be making this my new go-to. I look forward to coming back to try their dinner menu!

My favorite Asian Fusion place. I love the atmosphere, friendliness of staff/ owners, talent of the chef & owner.First the coffee shop... the coffee is exquisite. Never go wrong with a good cappuccino or a matcha latte or a favorite tea. Very Asian inspired. I also love their breakfast food... especially that Laotian rice porridge!!! and the Japanese donuts with the unique Japanese flavor.... Yummy! Dinner... this dinner is pure magic. The combo of Japanese and Laotian tastes... the food is amazing. I would go weekly if the calorie count could magically disappear. It's getting popular.... So Fri/Sat are a bit challenging to get a table. But weekdays can work too. I believe they are open for dinner Thursday-Sun? Better check on days they are open.The owners are so wonderful. I am a big believer of supporting family-run or mom& pop businesses exclusively if I can. And these guys are at the top of my list. The very top! Food is delicious, the place is light airy, and fresh, the owners are amazingly kind. Heirloom is number one on list. Taste to calorie ratio is extremely high here...Every bite is worth the extra calories you take in. This place gets a huge thumbs. DELICIOUS!!!!!

Nice people, busy spot. Nicely decorated. Iced vanilla latte is really good! Daughter liked the vibe and loves to try local spots while in town. Construction taking place in the area means the parking is a bit of a pain.

Definitely enjoyed my visit here. The restaurant was clean and open. The interior design is beautiful. Lots of natural light in here that I thoroughly enjoyed. The food was delicious. They had a pasta with aged parmesan that was perfection but unfortunately was a temporary menu item. The braised crab claws were ok but the flavor wasn't something I was in love with. Crispy shrimp was perfectly crunchy, the dipping sauce with it is SPICY! So be warned! I love that they offer both small and large plates. Service was quick and good was served hot. The staff checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. A cute restaurant for your small snack needs or big meals alike.

We've been to Heirloom before for coffee/tea and mochi donuts (freaking delicious), but never for dinner! Then I discovered their dinner menu with delicious-sounding Asian inspired dishes and came running back to try them.We started out with small plates: crab claws and popcorn chicken. The crab claws were soaked and cooked in a salty, umami, buttery sauce and felt like a fun take on seafood chicken wings - There wasn't much meat in the claws, so we savored every bite we could get. The popcorn chicken had an incredibly crispy coating and was not greasy at all (which I really appreciate) - There was some warming spice in the chicken coating which took me by surprise, but not in a bad way! The waiter brought us a side of jeow som to dip the chicken in (in addition to the sweet chili sauce it came with), and I loved the spiciness and acidity this added when you dipped the chicken in it.For large plates, we ordered the Lao grilled chicken and crispy mapo tofu. The grilled chicken thighs were juicy and had great char flavor on the skin. The chicken drippings rice that came with the chicken was cooked to perfection and was the perfect addition to the chicken, along with the sriracha sauce it came with. The mapo tofu dish was also great - The mushrooms were crispy and the tofu was semi-crispy (the sauce took away some of its crispiness) and soaked in a delicious chili oil sauce, though I would have preferred a bit more spice here. The ambiance inside the restaurant is unmatched - I love the modern feel with the wooden paneling, greenery, and addition of sparkle lights against the back wall. The service was wonderful as well. Our server had great suggestions and descriptions of the food. I can't wait to come back here and try more of the dishes! Next time I will definitely save room for dessert

Wanted to stop by during my time in Raleigh, as I heard this was a pretty cool Asian spot to check out, and it definitely was worth!This brew shop has really lovely vibes and a modern chique aesthetic, with the combination of nice lighting, wood furniture and ceiling structures, and plants around the shop. It's a really nice place to come chill with some friends, or bust out your laptop and do some work! Bathrooms were also clean so that's a plus.My friends really enjoyed their drinks, and I enjoyed the pastries I had; reasonably priced and tasted very fresh.I think it's also really cool that they have some shelf goods for sale, including various types of coffee grounds and Asian snacks, even Momofuku chili oil!

We stopped by this cute coffee shop for a pick me up. With a wide variety of teas and coffees to choose from, Heirloom hits the spot. I loved my hot "Xieng Khouang" Lao Fog Latte which was amazing and super tasty - it tastes like a sweet variant of an iced Thai tea, but in a steamed hot form. If I lived in Raleigh, I would come back just for this drink. I also tried the orchid oolong, which was less impressive. The shop also sells a variety of Asian snacks/condiments and tea/coffeeware which could be great gifts. Shoutout to the sole barista who worked on President's day, she was totally manning the shop herself and 100% was keeping that coffee shop afloat and running. Someone should give her a raise if they haven't already.

This has got to be one of the prettiest cafes/restaurants in Raleigh. The decor is so pretty and I love all the plants and open windows. That vibe made for the perfect work spot. I have to say that I can no longer make a regular breakfast sandwich after having this baguette- it was SUPERB. The fluffy eggs, the seasoned mayo, and the hint of spice was literally addicting! I enjoyed my matcha as well but may try adding a syrup next time for enhancement. I also loved how they brought all the items to you and very quick even though they were busy since there was an event going on. All in all this is a must try spot!

Was shocked at how good my chicken biscuit was. It was 12 bucks but totally worth it! Yes I will be back. I wanted to try a place I have never been and this was such a good find! Amazing
