This place is a literal haven. We’ve never had a bad experience here.
The people are so friendly and the atmosphere is just perfect. The food is really good and usually comes out pretty quick. It’s not a huge menu but it’s easy to find something you’ll like, made with quality ingredients. You can tell they’ve curated a menu and bakery selection with a specific intention/vision and it’s all done with a lot of love. You won’t find a bad vibe here unless you bring one with you.
It’s connected to the visitor’s center where there’s really well kept bathrooms and interesting little information kiosks.
The cafe definitely gets busy but it’s tucked away in such a way that you can usually get in even if everywhere else is packed. It’s a smallish space, but it’s double the size if it’s nice enough to sit outside, and honestly it’s amazing how well they serve everybody from the small kitchen. The tropical tea will bring you back from the dead.
Simply put, this place is phenomenal and the people running it are actual magic.
We ordered our rehearsal dinner cake, a custom order! The cake itself was nearly too beautiful to eat. The frosting was a perfect consistency. The filling was amazing. I want to reorder this cake just so I can have it again! Thank you all so much!
Everything about this place is great 👍:)
Wonderful 💐
The auntie provided good service and advice. I came here for the first time with my friend and was very impressed. We love this place. The shop is clean and cute.
mediocre coffee in an admittedly cute atmosphere
The cutest curation of teas and desserts but also really good lunch options too! The staff is always the nicest!

I ordered a cake for my partner's birthday and it is amazing! I got chocolate buttercream and a confetti cake. My partner loves it! I definitely will be ordering again.
The density and moisture of the cake is perfect. The buttercream isn't overwhelmingly sweet amd the chocolate flavor is really impactful with the confetti cake. Extremely good quality.
I was not able to eat it right away because my partner had to house sit and it kept perfectly well for two days before we ate it.
The service was also amazing! The staff were so nice and the atmosphere of the bakery was so welcoming that I have already started planning return trips!
Thank you everyone who helped make my partner's birthday wonderful!!

I booked Herritage Bakery for my wedding. Not only did they make the cake of my dreams, but they made an excellent variety of desserts for guests! Everything was delicious and they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions without a problem!
Love this little gem. Great Belgian GF waffle. Great GF bakery options too.

It was over 25 minutes for a salad and then the excuse office orders slowed us down. You think they would handle the customers that actually showed up before call in orders. Which the call in orders weren’t up on the place the orders were being placed at. If there were a bunch of orders ahead don’t say “it will be 10 minutes”. 10 minutes is NOT 25. If I would have k ow it was going to be 25 I would have just Gone elsewhere.

I rarely leave reviews unless a place I’ve visited was exceptional in more ways than one and has really left a mark. And wow, Heritage Bakery & Cafe is easily one of those places! I’ve been in four times since discovering this place and the ladies behind the counters haven’t yet missed a beat in delivering bright and cheerful smiles along with friendly service. The food have been fresh.
Their Belgian Waffle was the best I’ve ever had, light and airy, topped with fresh berries. Their greens were crunchy and crisply sweet. Their cheesecakes were just the right amount of sweet. But the one thing that really first made its mark on my initial visit was that they use unbleached paper tea bags (in which it seemed they use a custom, hand blend of teas), I hope you guys never stop doing that!
As for the atmosphere, they bring back the traditional, New Englander tea and china wares, along with their heritage style dining chairs and tables to top it off with! How cute and quaint is that. This cafe is a must visit for anyone who values top-notch service and fresh foods and bakery items.

I got married in Charlottesville this weekend and am so beyond happy we chose Heritage to do our wedding cake and dessert spread. My wedding cake was better than I could have ever imagined - it was absolutely stunning and beyond delicious! Our guests loved all of the cookies, cupcakes and the cake. Isabel was such a delight to work with and even helped us make special shortbread cookies in the shape of our dogs and heart shaped cookies for our welcome party. We could not have been happier with all of our desserts. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our special weekend!
