Best lattes and coffee in NC!! I drive a long way just to get their delicious lattes (and now bring their espresso beans home to enjoy as well). Be sure to try the Fall Festival coffee!!

Amazing all around! The baristas were especially kind and accommodating, and they offered incredible service. The atmosphere was chill while still being aesthetically pleasing to the eye and clean. I tried the Sweet Like Summer latte that was inspired by the Summer I Turned Pretty and it was phenomenal. It sated my sweet tooth. I love their themed drinks idea! I will be returning for more.

What a great little coffee shop! This is a hidden gem. The wife's plain crumble cake was very good. The atmosphere was quiet, great for taking a date to the place after a great meal in the area, or to just sit down with your loved one and have a great conversation. Their espresso is a blend of beans from three countries roasted onsite.

Love this coffee shop! “As You Wish” from the Spring Reading Menu is delicious. Grace was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back next time I’m in Wilmington!

Outrageously delicious Chai latte and raspberry crumb cake. The ambience is super cute and intimate while still having a decent amount of seating. The staff is friendly and prices are very reasonable for what you get, no thimble-sized coffee for 8 here!

Such a cozy atmosphere, totally dig it for a rainy morning. It is very small so just be aware if you're looking for a spot to do some work but they do have a couch! I enjoyed their French Toast Latte (hot) and it was absolutely delicious. Staff is super sweet.

Friendly and fast service, comfy chairs available, and super cute atmosphere! Really reasonable prices compared to other coffee shops in town, so if I could give it six stars I absolutely would. Plus, the coffee is so yummy! I had a salt and sun shaken espresso and was super impressed.

If you are a coffee lover like me you should try this place. The ambiance is very pleasing and calm, come to study or work if you wish. The space is comfy and small. I tried a vanilla coffee and was not a fan of it, but my mom and daughter loved theirs... so it’s two against one lol.
