"Heat Check isn’t just a thrift store—it’s a curated vibe. Tucked upstairs on Walnut Street, this spot blends vintage fashion, in-house merch, and a full-service café into one cohesive experience. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this place was built with intention. The layout flows, the natural lighting hits! and the energy is chill. The racks are stocked with a sharp mix of vintage pieces and Heat Check’s own branded gear. Whether you’re hunting for a throwback fit or just browsing, the selection feels fresh and well-organized. It’s not a large collection but solid enough if you looking for something simple. The café twist is what really sets it apart. Grabbing a coffee while you shop adds a layer of comfort and makes the whole experience feel more personal. Staff was cool and helpful—no pressure, just good energy. It’s the kind of place you could post up for a bit, sip something smooth, and leave with a piece that fits your style."

"Really liked the vibe of a thrift store and a cafe all rolled into one! It’s a curated thrift store, so a little pricier but they definitely have some cool pieces. I also enjoyed the seating area overlooking the street, nice to do some work for a while too! The winter specials were very unique and fun, which I loved, and they make a great latte. The persimmon syrup didn’t have as much flavor though, would try something else next time. I also hope they get more milk options other than whole and oat milk (extra $1), overall loved their vibe though and would definitely come back for more specials!"

"LOVE the coffee. I was meeting with a fellow coffee appreciater and picked up their pourovers to take and share. The beans they use are phenomenal & I haven't quite had anything like them before! They carry some local makers and I picked up a cool beeswax candle in the shape of a poodle to give as a Christmas gift."

"Great new coffee shop and vintage store right on Walnut Street. Clean, with well-curated selection. Lots of light from the windows! High quality coffee. The owner, Q, has a lot of knowledge on all things coffee. I love that they offer lattes and mini-lattes, because I don't always want a ton of milk with my espresso. Branding is really cool, too. I'll be back!"

"Great selection with pretty good pricing. Some items are priced a little high but that didn't stop the shoppers. It was very busy the whole visit between the cafe and clothing. They made a delicious matcha!"
