The 15 Best Restaurants near Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama | Eater

"This cozy spot to enjoy a cup of coffee is a favorite among UA students. According to the company, when the original location, on Towncenter Boulevard, opened in 1993, it was the first coffee shop in Tuscaloosa. At the time, the owners couldn’t afford to buy matching furniture, instead decorating the room with donations and thrifted items; owner Rebekah Wanstall has since taken over the operation, but the mismatched chairs remain, a charming staple for lovers of the shop. Each location offers 40 different coffee syrups, along with assorted teas and baked from-scratch pastries, while the North River location offers full-service dinner." - Jen Bowman

Heritage House is always my go to for coffee. I love this location the best! The drive through is easy to get through and moves quickly. I love the food and coffee, but this location especially is so easy to get in and out of, so clean and bright, and always have great service. The restaurant week specials this summer were so good- the frozen strawberry lemonade and peach muffin- but I also love their coffee. Bama Blitz is my go to!

Esthetic of the restaurant is cute, but the food is honestly just “meh”. Nothing to go ride home about. If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be disappointed lol. My iced mocha tasted like chocolate milk, but I’m also a 3 shots espresso drinker 😛. Overall I would come back when I’m in town to visit just because options are limited, but nothing I would be dreaming about at night lol

Today, we enjoyed the best catering dinner we’ve ever had. The Heritage House carryout Christmas was absolutely delicious. We choose the Marry Me Chicken, the Green Beans and the Sweet Potato Casserole along with Christmas Cookie Cheesecake. Absolutely superb. Pick up ready on time, preparation instructions attached. Thank you Heritage House for making our Christmas Day extra special.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops to work from as a local real estate agent. The space is cozy and comfortable, the staff is so friendly, and the food is delicious. I always leave with one of their baked goods (they're impossible to resist!). I highly recommend any of their locations.

Best coffee I had in a really long time. I got the toffee hot and it was delicious. Place is so cute. I had eggs Benedict and a chocolate chip scone which was also delicious. Will definitely be coming back.

The Belgian Waffle were amazing! My daughter had the breakfast sandwich, it was delicious as well! Water with this meal, but, leaving she got a speciality ice coffee, I got the HH special coffee, hot. Both were delicious. Love HH. Please get a location near Highway 43 and Rose Boulevard, near TCHS. Thank you for wonderful food and great friendly service at the Northriver Townes location.

Didn't get to eat. Came in and made our order. Had plan to eat there to take in the beautiful, serine atmosphere. After about a 25 min wait, I approached the counter to see what the issue was. I overheard the cashier tell another customer that they had prioritized the drive through since they had gotten behind. I thought that was a little unfair to those of us that had been there before some of the drive thru drivers and I actually had other engagements to get to. Therefore We ended up having to cancel and leave.

Great new location. Right a the entrance of the Townes housing department. Same excellent food! All the top notch coffees, unbelievable crepes and crepes. If you are a HH fan, you need to come here.
