About Heat Check
Based on the reviews, Heat Check is a hidden away coffee shop and curated thrift store all rolled into one, located upstairs on Walnut Street. The atmosphere is fantastic, with a chill energy and a large window in the front with a bar table that makes it a prime location to do some work while overlooking the street. The café offers unique and fun winter specials, including an amazing Matcha with Earl Grey cold foam and a great mocha latte with a very delicate taste. The coffee is great, and the beans they use are phenomenal. The store carries a sharp mix of vintage pieces, thrift clothes, and Heat Check’s own branded gear, plus handmade items and local makers. It is not a large collection but solid enough if looking for something simple. The staff is cool and helpful, with no pressure. The vibe is a little pricier but they definitely have some cool pieces, making it a great place to people watch.

Great crew, great array of items!!! Many different sizes and options. Heads up, the elevator didn’t work when I went. If you cannot do stairs, I recommend calling ahead before and making sure the elevator is functional. (Not Heat Check’s fault, looking at you, building management company!!) lol

Such an amazing Matcha with Earl Grey cold foam. This little hidden away coffee shop is easy to walk by and never realize it’s there. Lots of handmade items for sale with good quality, thrift clothes. Great place to people watch those walking the streets below.
