The heart of Heine Brothers lies in their signature coffee blends and cold coffee creations. Their Longest '94 Retail House Blend pays homage to their humble beginnings, showcasing a rich combination of Central American beans with earthy, dark chocolate undertones that awaken the senses with every sip.

This is my local Heine brothers location and I have been frequenting it for the last 10+ years. On 3/7 I stopped by the drive through and my car shut off while I was paying for my order at the window. I had my kids in the car, it was pouring down rain, someone was behind me...I got out to let the guy behind me know and see if I could push my car out of the way, as I start to push several baristas from inside came RUNNING out, in the pouring rain to help me. Then several customers came to my aide as well. We were able to push the car into a parking spot safely and as soon as we got in the spot everything came back on and the car started!! Turns out is was a loose battery cable on my brand new battery. I was and am still so moved by those baristas that came running to my aide. Also after all the craziness a barista ran our drink and food order out to us!

Always a pleasure to stop here not just for the delicious coffee, but for the friendly staff. The regular drip coffee is bold and flavorful, so I am content just ordering that. But, for those of you who like a more detailed concoction, they do have your standard coffee shop creations which are well made and tasty.

While sometimes their bagels aren’t quite the best (this goes for all heine bros locations) their coffee is amazing! If you like the taste of coffee or sweet coffees, they are going to have something for you! My husband and I have been going to this location every Sunday before church for like 3 years now they always have our drinks out in a timely manner and they are all super nice!

I enjoyed my visit to this location. I was helped quickly even though I could see they were visibly busy. Very short wait for my order and clean comfortable atmosphere to enjoy my coffee.

Can’t remember the last time I had brewed coffee this good. Most of their food was out by the time we arrived because of the festival crowd but they did their utmost to accommodate. Went back next day and got a couple lattes for the road that were very good, not too sweet. Their people are great.
