This is a small coffee shop tucked inside a farmers market alongside other little stores. We originally came for breakfast, but the smell of fresh coffee pulled us in, and my wife couldn’t resist trying it (I don’t drink coffee myself).
The customer service was excellent probably the best we’ve had in a long time. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful, guiding my wife through different options since she wanted to try something new.
She enjoyed her iced coffee and said it wasn’t anything extraordinary, but it was good enough to finish the whole cup. The only downside was the price about $8 for an iced coffee, which is actually more than Starbucks, who has excellent coffee.

The coffee and chai here are delicious at a really affordable price for the sizes you can get. I really recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the farmers market!

They really need to perform more recipe testing when preparing coffee. I enjoy iced coffee and exploring new coffee shops, but I've been here several times in the previous four years, and the coffee has always been either decent or terrible. It's sweet, and the milk-to-coffee ratio is incorrect, so we get a milk and sugar taste with no coffee flavor.
Great coffee shop inside the farmers market. The staff is wonderful and helpful.

Good selection of beans. The shop looks and smells great. It would be helpful if they had a sign that said an “employee will serve you your coffee beans”, however, as the beans can easily be accessed by anyone. It would help avoid confusion on the customers end. Otherwise a nice shop.

The staff are awesome!!!
There is nowhere to sit, in their shop.
It can get very crowded, even if 2 customers are in the shop
There is a $10 or $15 minimum to use a credit card. Not sure if that also goes for the use of debit card

We've been going here for over 2.5 years at this point, and have never had a better drink anywhere else, regardless of what I get, if you want a delicious drink, definitely come here, and then walk 20 feet to Little Miss Korea and have some K-Fries or Bao Buns.
Logan and Sammy have been incredibly lovely, and had basically memorized our preferences by visit 3, to the point where if my spouse goes and orders by themselves Heffel's automatically makes mine quarter sweet with oat milk.
I understand the few complaints on pricing on the loose-leaf and the coffee beans, everything is so expensive nowadays, but I've genuinely never had quality teas or coffee's for less than that, especially for the convenience.
When I want okay tea for grocery store prices I go there, when I want quality teas, I come here. Wouldn't try to buy leather shoe's at a Walmart, you know?
I definitely don't understand the few complaints on tone and behavior from Heffelfinger's. When I'm unfamiliar with a place or trying something new, I am WILDLY indecisive and struggle to make choices timely or concretely, and Sammy and Logan have always been endlessly patient, and helped me pick what they think would be good until we found my favourites.
It feels like the people who left those reviews were people who had Dunkin or Starbucks expectations and brought in a demeanor that was returned in kind, at worst. I've never seen any of them even raise their voice.
TL;DR : Logan and Sammy are lovely, everything is delicious, and in terms of quality and convenience you definitely get what you're paying for.
I fully recommend getting the Blueberry Lemon Bar Tea Latte, a London Fog, or the Indigo Punch with Pineapple, all Iced of course.

I have been happily visiting at least once a week for several months and am happy to share that the staff are as delightful and kind day one and day 100. It is my and my wifes weekly treat and we look forward to visiting and getting our always delicious and delightful drinks. Everything from iced tea to hot coffee is perfection and easily the best i’ve had in the valley.

The coffee is good, but the staff is continuously rude. The female employee forgot to give my sister $5 of her change, and begrudgingly offered it when her mistake was pointed out. She did it in such a rude way, we left without the $5 and will not be returning.

It’s such a small spot with limited hours. It obviously will get hectic. With as busy as it gets, these guys are amazing. They keep track of someone who doesn’t quite know the store, and are receptive to my questions I didn’t ask yet. I was in and out within five minutes after buying ground coffee and an iced drink. I would go crazy. Keep it up. You all are awesome and deserve all the business.

Your coffee is absolutely amazing! I would like to buy many more packs of vanilla coffee if there’s any way I can get them from Seoul ?
