Five Stars all around - Edit
Most menu items start as vegan other than the turkey and tuna. Everything was delicious and the staff was very attentive to allergy notes on our order. So nice and attentive! We ordered the Harvest Apple Grilled Cheese, Avocado Detox Salad, Ceasar Salad, one with tempeh, one with mock chick, and Cowboy Cookies. Everything was incredible, thank you!

Tasty Lunch - Edit
I finally had lunch at Heirloom Food Company today and it was quite good! I had the vegan grilled cheese with pesto and tomato and my partner had the grilled cheese with pesto, arugula, caramelized onions and mustard. We were both big fans! Prices weren't bad and I liked that a lot of the ingredients are local. Just a bit on the "healthy" side for my taste.

Just wanted to update my review now that I've had a chance to try a few more things on the menu at Heirloom! Try the beta burger and mock chkn salad!! And keep an eye on their Facebook pages for specials!

We discovered Heirloom Food Company on our way to NH. Their menu has a great variety of light options (wraps, sandwiches, and burgers) and bowls and stuff.

This place was SO good! I got the vegan Buddha bowl, and it was delicious! - Edit
I really like the selection available at this place for vegans. They were also very nice about walking my mom through all the options on the menu that didn’t have garlic. Definitely would come back.

5 stars! - Edit
This unique eatery is a pleasant surprise in a cutesy small city with small-town New England charm tucked away in Connecticut’s Quiet Corner. (Try to visit around Halloween when the town green fills with homemade scarecrows, fun to see.) The food is whole grain, fresh, mostly organic, mostly local, and mostly vegan. Quote: “At Heirloom all of our recipes begin vegan. That means, with the exception of two items, everything at Heirloom can be ordered vegan. All of our soups, baked goods and prepared foods are always made vegan.” Heirloom speaks fluent vegan, as you can choose either cow cheese or vegan cheese.
Read moreEnhancing the outstanding food are its three idyllic eating areas. (Even the parking lot is idyllic.) While the indoor dining area is small, it hosts many nooks and crannies that serve as booths, creating an intimate dining experience. The patio and the shaded deck overlooking Main Street both provide for outdoor dining. Exotic plants from nearby Logee’s Greenhouse (worth your visit) decorate both indoors and outdoors. During growing season, the outdoor plants are especially bountiful. As are the plant-based foods.
They serve breakfast and lunch, with hours recently extended to 5pm. Lunches consist primarily of salads, sandwiches, and soup. The soups are thick, luscious, and satisfying. Order the underpriced bowls, not cups. The sandwiches are tall and meticulously crafted with always excellent ingredients. To truly appreciate the contents, I eat them by drilling down layer by layer with a fork. The salad bowls are wholesome and huge, with many choices for underpriced add-ons that make them larger still. My two favorite add-ons are the “bacon”-flavored and thinly sliced tempeh, and the mock tuna salad. I recommend buying the mock tuna from the fridge unit, and eating it right out of the container while you wait for your order. Yet, wait times are short, even during lunch. And the waitstaff are all friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about all the ingredients. What’s impressive and endearing is that the person who takes your order often also prepares it, hence their thorough knowledge of the ingredients.
The cafe is only one mile off exit 38 of I-395, and is right on Main Street (look for its small street sign, as the building is set far back), with ample parking in its own lot. You might think this eatery would be a little known, but the good word has gotten around. Lunchtime gets very busy, so try to visit at times other than lunch.
Pros: all wholesome and mostly vegan, beautiful decor and plants, very friendly and accommodating staff

Best vegan Go-To! - Edit
Heirloom has the best vegan options and most delicious food hands down in north east Connecticut. Their Mock Chick is a homemade tofu salad with an amazing dressing that’s a must try. I go at-least every other week and it never disappoints. I would give 5 stars if the app would let me.

Oatmeal cream pie to dream about - Edit
I live far away from Heirloom Food Company and I dream about their outstanding oatmeal cream pies (they’re gluten free and vegan, as are nearly all of their desserts). I make a beeline for this place when I’m in this part of the country. They have lots of sandwiches and almost all of them can be made vegan. I got a vegan grilled cheese with wild berry jam and arugula - fabulous.

Good place to stop for lunch - Edit
Stopped for takeout while passing by the area. We got salads, kids vegan grilled cheese, and gf vegan pineapple upside down cake. All were great! I’d ask for more dressing for the salads as the salads are big. Everything can be made vegan and gluten free.

Food is always great - Edit
This place is always great. I feel like some of the salad and bowl portions are larger post covid. I love the buffalo bowl, Buddha and the Reuben is always awesome. The desserts are great and never leave me feeling gross because they are usually all GF WFPB 🙌🏻 I wish it was a little more affordable.

Expensive, small portions - Edit
This place is very small and offers a range of lunch options. But expect to pay $10 for a smoothie, $12 for a sandwich (no chips, standard size), and a burger over salad (with a burger that was 1/4 the size of the salad portion). Would have liked to see more seasoning and spices.
Read morePros: Good array of options.

Cozy & very vegan-friendly - Edit
Heirloom is one of my favorite restaurants. Their smoothies are incredible and the food menu includes a wide variety of options. They also have a daily food special and frequent smoothie specials. Ingredients are clearly listed on the menu as well. Only two items aren’t vegan and I believe they are a tuna wrap and a turkey sandwich. Every other item is vegan as is or merely requires the simple choice of vegan cheese over regular cheese. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and upbeat and the atmosphere is so cute and cozy! I’d happily rate Heirloom 5 stars if I could.
Read morePros: Tons of vegan options, Daily specials , Vegan cheese
Cons: Closes at 4pm , Closed Sundays and Mondays

Something for everyone - Edit
My sister and I took two of our non-vegan family members here for a birthday brunch and it was a very special experience! We enjoyed our food outside...they got the tuna and chips which they all enjoyed with the house made vegan dill sauce (whoa). My sister and I enjoyed breakfast-I had the tofu scramble burrito with avocado and an alkaline juice...can’t wait to come back during my next CT trip!

Heirloom is my to go place for when I want something quick and satisfying. I am a ride or die for their vegan breakfast sandwich. I have also tried many other meals that are absolutely delicious. The staff there is excellent and so kind. They also have a cute shop in their restaurant with cruelty free and vegan products! If anybody were to ever come around this town I truly recommend this place!

A great place to go! - Edit
Tried this place for the first time today - what a cute little restaurant! The people working there were friendly and went above and beyond. They have vegan and gluten free options. The guy behind the counter explained nothing gluten free is vegan because it doesn't taste right without eggs". I ordered a cup of white bean kale soup, 2 grilled cheeses- one with pesto and tomato on it, and a triple-berry muffin (I like to order food to-go so I can try more things lol). The food was awesome! So good. Can not wait to go back and try a smoothie.
