Heidi Swanson of the excellent 101 Cookbooks snapped these lovely photos of the Kinfolk brunch at Heirloom Cafe over the weekend. Sounds like these Kinfolk brunches are a traveling series that bring together local artisans and small businesses in various cities.
I’ve never eaten at Heirloom Cafe, but I have friends who live above it and I’ve peeked in a few times while waiting for one of them to answer the door. Anyone know if it’s worth a try?
See the rest of the photos here.
Heirloom is a great not-too-cool-for-your-grandma kind of place. I end up recommending often it to people with visiting oldies. The food is excellent and $10 corkage on pre-2003 wine (used to be free) is a nice touch.
FU db. Ageist puke
It’s flippin’ awesome. The food is California fresh and simple fare done so well. The wine list is huge, but you can still get a quality glass if you don’t want to shell out for anything from the cellar. The chef/owner has great taste in wine from all around the world (so you’re not only stuck with wine from Napa or the Central Coast).
The food at heirloom is excellent; I am not sure whether I would recommend it for oldies. Unless something has changed, the noise level can be deafening (even by the standards of hip restaurants).
“heirloom” and “kinfolk” might be a little too Little House for me. When will city slickers stop pretending they’re country? Wouldn’t last a day on a real farm.
I think they would last a day. Maybe even 4 or 5.
Heirloom is amazing, with fresh, simple food not too dissimilar to Universal but with a bigger emphasis on wine. A great addition to the neighborhood in a beautifully renovated space that was vacant for ± 23 years. Definitely worth checking out.
+100. It’s a great place. Well said, Andy.
So tired of hipstery buzzword bullshit. Fuck Kinfolk, fuck Instagram, fuck your pretentious food blog, fuck this newfound obsession with locavore/slow food/artisanal/sustainable/small batch/farm-to-table, etc, . I don’t hate these things in particular, it’s just the mindless idiots that are trying to pull of a certain persona by subscribing to this way of life for shits and giggles/blog fodder. My eyes couldn’t roll harder at how transparent most of the asshats that are that are into these things are.
FYI I’m sure this is a lovely restaurant with delicious food, I just don’t like Kinfolk.
