People prone to using the word "lovely" would use it to describe this strip mall cafe run by the…read moreowners of Dumpling Daughter next door. It has stylish banquettes and decor more commonly seen in swanky Italian eateries, but it works here. A fireplace and constant jazz music also help set the tone. I'm not a fan of Dumpling Daughter or the croissants or pre-wrapped chemical-tasting cookies here, but I absolutely LOVE Heirloom's blueberry muffin. Even without much of a dome, it packs fluffiness, richness, and great dough flavor, along with plump, moist, fresh fruit. A little sugar on top adds coarseness and a reminder of the Jordan Marsh days. And the rest of the muffin doesn't have any of that supermarket sugarless I hate. A really superb offering, and that atmosphere certainly helps.

I always pick up a bag or two each time I visit and make espresso and pour over at home. They have a fantastic mocha/Dutch brew and good pour over. Go pick yourself up a few bags and enjoy the coffee ride.

The male employee with the pony tail must have the worst customer service I've experienced. Never has a smile on his face, seems annoyed with people... I asked to add a sweetener to my coffee.

Chandeliers that have to harken back to much older tenants in this space. The food is good, I had a ham egg and cheese on croissant and it was wonderful. The croissant was surprisingly fresh. The cappuccino was rounded and smooth and didn't taste at all burnt. Service was ok. Polite but not engaging, my cappuccino was forgotten entirely and I had to ask for it again but it was then made promptly. Regulars that came in behind me had a completely different experience. Service was bright and engaging for them. Again, there was nothing BAD about my service, it was just milquetoast and the baristas seemed disinterested. This is definitely a place where people come and linger and there were folks sprawled about the sofas and typing away at the tables. If I lived in Waltham, I's probably make it a staple in my routine. But I did not linger long, I ate my sandwich, sipped half my coffee and took the rest on my way. I have a feeling this is the kind of place that just grows on you overtime, that said, if you need a coffee or tea and a snack on your way, this may be worth a stop.

We were a bit disappointed because some pieces tasted stale while others were delicious. For their expensive price point, they all should've been perfect.
