Heffelfinger's Gourmet- Coffee, Tea, & Specialty Foods
1825 W Chew St Door 2 or 3, Allentown, PA
Crema's Take
“Skip this one if you're after espresso drinks—reviewers consistently report bitter, scalded shots and poorly steamed milk that ruins lattes and cortados. The whole operation feels inconsistent: some customers rave about affordable coffee and smooth cold brew, while others encountered watery daily brews and questionable practices like steaming milk in plastic-lined cups. You might find something worthwhile in their specialty drinks or tea selection, but the espresso fundamentals aren't there.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot.

Delicious french vanilla iced coffee, & I bought a half pound of macaroon coffee grounds. Very smooth & light. My coffee pot turns off after 2 hours, & while other coffees taste burnt at that point, this one did not. Sooooo delicious! I'll definitely buy more, because I'm…
