"Not only does Heritage Bicycles serve excellent coffee in a sunlit space, but they’ll also fix your bicycle or custom-make you a new one. (We don’t know how long it takes to make a bike, but you can probably finish at least one chapter of your autobiography while you’re waiting.) Even if you don’t need their bicycle services, you can still come here and get some work done at the large communal table in the middle of the coffee shop, or at the counter by the window." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"In a relatively quiet part of Lakeview, you'll find this bicycle meets coffee shop. Heritage sports an uber loyal following where everyone seems to know everyone else; a true neighborhood hangout. Whether you're looking for coffee, a gift, a handmade bicycle or even a tuneup, Heritage has you covered. They often host community events after hours, too. The general store aesthetic and accompanying outdoor seating options are the perfect place to let the hours pass. And although there are plenty who do, you don't have to ride bike to enjoy the joint." - Studio Malt

"Heritage has coffee and Do-Rite donuts available for takeout and delivery. No bicycles, though." - adrian kane
"We teamed up with Heritage as part of our Chicago pop last year (we're currently in Sag Harbor, Dallas, and Aspen for the summer). After all, this is the kind of family-run operation that can make all your bike-related dreams come true. Not only will they custom build one from scratch (Tassels? Glitter? No problem!), but they make great coffee, too. The original Lincoln Avenue outpost (owners Mike and Melissa Salvatore actually live upstairs) does both in addition to a sweet general store, while the newer Heritage Outpost in Uptown is devoted entirely to coffee. You'll find free Wifi, and a group of people working on laptops, at both locations."
