Heritage Coffee: a Hidden Gem of the Farmers Market

7/13/2025

0 Comments

 
Tucked into the far corner of the food vendors portion of the Saturday Morning Farmer’s Market lies Heritage Coffee, a little food truck serving coffee beverages for the cold mornings of these early season markets and hot August days alike. Up until Memorial Day Weekend, I had never seen them back there. I don’t normally go into the food truck portion of the market since I show up so early in the morning that I’m not hungry yet most of the time. On this particular visit, I had my father for company– and it was chilly. We both needed something to warm up.

We found it in the black trailer parked at the back of that vendor section, and I ordered myself a latte to add to our Coffee Run rankings. What I didn’t expect was to find them also selling their own beans, so they’re our second roaster being added to the list as well. I decided on their Radiant blend. Their website describes this blend as ideal for espresso, so I thought this may be what they were using for their lattes as well. I did not ask, however.

The latte itself, even with the vanilla flavoring, was similar to what we got at Delilah’s where the coffee remained the star of the show. The natural bitterness of the espresso was not completely overwhelmed by the vanilla syrup. I like my coffee with a little more sweetness personally, but I considered this meal a great introduction to the batch of beans I was taking home. It kept me warm on a chilly morning walk by the river with my dad, and that was really all that mattered. Mornings are no longer as chilly as they were when I visited their trailer at the Farmers Market, but have no fear, they have iced coffee beverages as well for the summer to keep you cool and caffeinated during your shopping. ​

The Radiant Blend comes in the bag as whole beans, so if you want to make their coffee at home, you will need a grinder of some kind. The basic grinder I use does not come with settings to help you get a specific type of grind, so when it came time to make this coffee at home, I loaded ten grams of beans in my grinder and prayed. For my drip method brewing, I think that I did not take the grind far enough. However, I will say that the Radiant Blend lives up to its promise.

Low acidity and perfectly balanced, this cup of coffee after the Farmers Market the following week was comforting with my egg in a basket. I did not need to increase the amount of sugar or creamer I usually add to my coffee to get to my usual preference. I think I even used LESS creamer. Heritage Coffee comes in strong with a ⅘. I'd love to see more flavors and varieties in their beans one day, but the current owners have only taken over full time in the last year or so. There is plenty of room for growth. I look forward to seeing where this coffee truck goes.

You can order their beans online if you want to try them for yourself at their website, or you can find them in the food vendor section of the Green Bay Saturday Morning Farmers Market along the river.

Two Birds' Latte is one of the Best

7/4/2025

Two Birds is another location that I have visited before, and at the time of my previous article, I didn’t do much coffee drinking. It seemed only right to return and add them to our Coffee Run series as well. What better time to do it than when I had my father in town for a visit. Two Birds has historically been one of my favorite places to grab breakfast whenever I am out and about, so sharing it with family and friends is an option always. 

I must admit that I deviated from the parameters of our challenge by ordering a cinnamon bun latte rather than a plain vanilla, so the score on my latte from Two Birds may be skewed slightly in their favor as a result. If you’ve been following the Coffee Run series since it started, I admitted to a deep love for cinnamon in coffee. You know I couldn’t resist the opportunity when it was right there in front of me.

 The Two Birds latte certainly came in on the sweeter side compared to say, Delilah’s from our review earlier this summer. The flavor of the coffee was well accented by the cinnamon bun syrup that the cafe uses, and I finished the entire cup before it started to go cold on me. That rarely happens these days, especially when I’m getting my coffee in one of the paper to-go cups. This brings them in as my favorite latte in town so far, I believe, with a score of 4.75/5.

It goes without saying that I recommend them for your breakfast needs as well. This time around, I ordered their quiche instead of a breakfast burrito like I usually do. The egg custard was so soft, and the mixture of vegetables chosen for their veggie quiche presented a difference in texture and taste against that soft custard that helped brighten the meal. It’s hard to balance all of that with a well cooked pie crust, and Two Birds managed just that. 

If you're interested in my previous coverage of their food, you can check that out under our restaurant reviews section, or at this link!
