This genuinely might have been the best coffee I've had! I got the red velvet latte, and while it…read morewasn't necessarily red, it tasted like a rich and delicious mocha. The chocolate shavings on top really put it over the edge for me and made it extra tasty. The girl behind the counter was so sweet and helpful as well, and had our drinks out pretty quickly. The inside is very cute and has a decent amount of seating. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time!

When I'm on vacation, I always love trying new coffee shops, and I was excited when I came across…read morethis one. Maven takes a different approach to coffee, skipping the standard heavy syrup you find in most places and instead focusing on carefully crafted pieces of art. I would describe their style as a hybrid between the craftsmanship of fine dining, the flavor blending of craft cocktails, all wrapped up in an artistic display. The people working here are skilled and very friendly and happy to explain their menu My wife had the campfire latte, which was a gentle s'mores flavor with freshly crumbled graham cracker topping in a marshmallow they toasted right in front of you as a top. Most importantly, it was very coffee forward on flavor with very minimal but appropriate use of sweetening flavors. I had the chocolate cherry truffle latte, which was again very coffee forward with very subtle and perfectly balanced flavors. Most interestingly, the drinks were a very fair price, because with this level of artistry in presentation you'd expect it to be expensive. This was a great little stop on vacation, and if I was local I would come more often. They are definitely stepping out of the mold of the traditional mainstream coffee shop, And doing a great job.

This spot is very nicely decorated and has a great indie vibe! The staff was really friendly and…read morehelpful with questions I had too. Parking a bit crazy but I guess that's the norm here. I initially swung by to satiate my matcha craving, but it wasn't that great. It doesn't have much flavor so I added my own matcha when I went home. My friend said their coffee was good but nothing crazy. I would come back to try some of their food if I was in the area, they have so many great reviews so swing by if you're in town!

The first time my sister and I came in here on vacation, we loved it. The atmosphere was so lovely…read moreand charming. The girl who waited on us was very friendly and the cake slices we bought were delicious. I was looking forward to going back to it. We went there yesterday, again on vacation, and the same girl was there but the manager was also there. The manager was not as friendly and my sister and I both felt we were being dismissed. The atmosphere changed when she walked out. We felt we had to hurry and pick out something and there were no other customers. It felt tense with this lady. I got a carmel brownie and my sister got a German chocolate brownie, because the cakes weren't out yet. I was disappointed in the brownie. I've had better. My sister liked hers. Once we left the bakery, I was bothered the rest of the day of how the manager treated us, almost like we weren't her kind of customers. I will never go back there again when we vacation in Wilmington. I guess they have enough good reviews that this one won't matter to them much.

Really loved the concept and their summer menu is so fun!…read more Located right downtown so it's very convenient to park and wander around. A little sad that their card machine was down, so I couldn't get everything I wanted, but I did get to try the blueberry cobbler latte! Light coffee flavor and I couldn't really taste the cookie, but there was a yummy thick blueberry top that made up for it!

I really wanted to like this place. Cute bar area and great interior design. Where it lacked to me…read morewas that the music was blaring loud at 530pm on a Saturday. I got a headache and had to leave. The bartender also told us after we ordered our drinks at 5pm that there is a no laptop policy after 6pm? If this is the case I urge to advertise this more as it appeared to be like a cafe with a bar situation to which I've never heard of that policy.

When we arrived around 11 a.m. on a weekday, it was very quiet, which created a peaceful atmosphere perfect for hanging out with friends or reading a book. If I lived in the area, I would definitely visit more often. The ambiance feels warm and welcoming, inviting you to relax and unwind. They also have a lovely selection of knickknacks for sale, including books, crafts, and paintings, which add to its charming character. Overall, what a wonderful little coffee shop =) definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! Great service!

Last weekend I explored this coffee shop bookstore, basically an urban legend concept in most…read morecities these days. The place is wedged at the edge of a neighborhood that backs up to one of the main city streets. I believe I saw about six parking spots total in the gravel parking lot. ZOLA's coffee menu is a unique blend of spiced lattes and especially sourced beans. There's just a couple breakfast bar type food items to choose from. After looking over the menu a few times, a barista stepped out from behind the coffee bar and started talking with me about the menu options. I tried the cumin latte which definitely peaked my mind. I then explored the diverse selection of used and new books in the space. Most of the reading selections were unknown to me, a rare experience. I picked up a journal on women's spirituality. There is something for everyone at ZOLA's.
