There is everything from handmade jewelry to figures, paintings, pottery, photography printed large, t-shirts, sports team logo emblazoned memorabilia and catnip toys for your cat. That's just a smattering of what they have. This being art, you can imagine the prices range broadly depending on what you're wanting. Larger items can be several hundred dollars while I saw smaller items down to just a few bucks. Staff was friendly and helpful. The store itself is in what used to be an old bar/restaurant. It has an almost rustic feel to it, although I don't believe the building is truly all that old. If you find yourself in this area you should give it a look.

I received an email response confirming the photos were received. We showed up about 10 minutes before our event was scheduled, and were greeted by our expert painter and shown the canvas with photos of our dogs. We were given paint colors for our background (whatever we chose) and the appropriate base colors for our dogs. What initially seemed like an intimidating process turned out to be a lot of fun and was surprisingly easy - we think our photos turned out to look amazingly like our pets! As a bonus, our instructor was AMAZING and we really enjoyed her company and were grateful for her reassurances throughout the evening. We will definitely be coming back to do more of these events!

I first saw this quirky food art hanging in Flytrap brewery and I kept thinking they would make wonderful gifts.The paintings are "ready to hang" with eye hooks, picture wire, and simplex wire clamps, giving them a light industrial feel. From there, 5x7 prints are made from line drawings done by hand, which are then cleaned up with Photoshop (which is also use for color addition). These files are used for printing heat-press decals for use on canvas tote bags, t shirts, and onesies, which we press individually in the home shop. They are also used for making 1" magnets and pins, which we are also made locally. Tip: You can buy some of the really funny and semi-explicit greeting cards downtown at Edge of Urge

The customer service is excellent and the baristas have gotten to know me and provide recommendations for new things to try based on what I have had in the past. The shakes, iced coffee, and lotus energy drinks are great. The shop provides seating outside and inside. There is one bathroom that is kept clean. Overall, the shop is very clean. Iced coffee and regular refills are $0.50. The baristas have made an effort for me to know their names, as well and many have helped create a great environment through great conversations. The only note, which many customers would likely agree, is that the aesthetically pleasing menu can be a bit overwhelming at first glance due to the many options. But, once you take it in, you can find what you are looking for to order. If you can't, the baristas will be happy to help make something that is amazing for you. There is also a roll the dice game that helps create a beverage for you, as well. All in all, Grinders is a great place to get caffeinated, socialize with others, and get work done.

Really disappointing experience at Grinders Coffee. The coffee itself was poor quality, and I was…read moresurprised they didn't offer any homemade syrups. My drink had to be remade twice, and instead of showing any sense of urgency, several employees were laughing and giggling while we waited, which came across as very unprofessional. I will say the person who took our order was nice and pleasant, and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the overall service and coffee quality were not what I expected from a local coffee shop. There are definitely better coffee options in Wilmington.

Perfect spot next time you're looking to buy a gift for somebody for a birthday, holiday, or housewarming gift.
