It's not bad. I still prefer Common Grounds better; however it is nice to have a cafe so close to the library.

The Heritage Café serves Starbucks coffee making it the least desirable coffee option on campus in my opinion. Coffee aside, this is a very popular location on campus and is usually pretty busy. The indoor seating is rarely available but there is plenty of outdoor seating. The café was incorporated into what used to be the Biola Heritage museum and therefore there are many historical items and photos on display.

Great late night coffee and snacks. Great atmosphere. Great people. Great place to study and use with friends. Eat in, take out, and delivery available on certain days and time when available.

I had one of the best sandwiches ever here and it was veggie! Yummy bread, fresh veggies and some yummy aioli mayo. The acai bowl was also yummy!!!

I've had some of the kindest baristas here, especially on Sundays! As a cafe on a college campus it can easily become crowded, but the staff handles the shop well and customers like myself keep coming back. The atmosphere is lovely and lively. More than once, they've played a song that made my whole day better. Let's not forget the consumables! Whether I've gotten a berry bowl, cookie, frappuccino, or coffee-- it has been really good.
