Heritage Bakery Café - Harrisonburg

Heritage made all my wedding dessert table dreams come true! I would not have asked for a perfect gluten-free wedding cake and an assortment of our Heritage favorites on our wedding day. Isabelle and her team were so easy and friendly to work and took my dreams and made them reality. They made it super easy by delivering to Luray. I had to stop eating a cupcake before I went down the corridor: highly recommended this fantastic bakery!

Visited 6/25/2021: We stopped into Heritage Bakery Cafe hoping to grab some pastries to take back to our hotel, but they only had scones which was a disappointment to us given the photos we've seen online of their bakes. But it wasn't a huge deal, so we ordered food to enjoy in the cafe. I had a bowl of granola, yogurt, and fruit. It was a generously-sized portion and their homemade granola was delicious; they served the bowl drizzled with honey and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Except for bananas, I was disappointed that my bowl didn't have bananas on it, but there was plenty of berries on top to keep me satisfied. My husband ordered the Belgian waffle and from the one bite of it I had, it was incredible. Super fluffy with a nice crispy exterior, it was everything you could wish from a Belgian waffle. It was served with syrup on the side and was mounded with fresh fruit. The set-up inside is really cute, and behind the counter, the open kitchen looks like a little old lady's kitchen. The young people working there were helpful and friendly, but we felt awkward in there. They were all talking and laughing and it felt like we had walked in on a private conversation. I don't know, we just didn't feel super welcomed. Our iced coffees were good, and they had soy milk available for us, but I wish they had more of an interesting coffee bar selection. Not a deal-breaker though because they don't obviously advertise themselves as a coffee shop. Also, I think their signage could be a bit better and more clear. Their menu board is on the right side of the counter and it's hard to crane your neck to see everything they have available quickly with other people behind you waiting to order. We also weren't sure if we were supposed to leave our dirty plates on the table or bring them back up to the counter since it wasn't really a sit-down table service situation. None of these should be a deal-breaker though, and I would certainly visit them again next time I'm in Harrisonburg.

I’d give six or seven stars if I could! This bakery is so tasty and cute. The staff is so friendly and the treats so yummy. I highly recommend trying out this spot. Bonus: the bakery shares a building with the visitor’s center so you can check out local attractions and brochures as well. So convenient for breakfast while you’re visiting!

They made 2 beautiful cakes for outside wedding as well as our vow renewal and they were both beautiful and delicious! I have a special place in my heart for this little bakery and café.

We found this treasure for our daughter's birthday last year. We're not out of the field, so I'm exploring places that could absorb their gluten allergy. Customer service is absolutely amazing! The gluten-free cupcakes were so moist and tasty that I didn't believe I had ordered them myself. We loved her so much that I ordered a dozen for my birthday again today. We also ordered a sandwich, a GF muffin and shortbread cookies, which also received Rave reviews. Please support this beautiful little business!
