I really wanted to like this place. Cute bar area and great interior design. Where it lacked to me was 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. (I have been to numerous combination bar cafes) Zoe approves this message
Ok experience. They only carry whole milk or alternative milk. No skim or 2%. I opted for a pistachio latte which was overly sweet. They only had a small selection of specials or signature drinks. Staff was great! Beautiful interior.
Visited after a long walk around downtown Wilmington. My friends, who live in Wilmington were thrilled they were open and really looked forward to everyone trying the coffee drinks. Upon entry, we were welcomed by 2 baristas at the counter and ready to serve us. We had a group of 9 so there was a little of everything ordered. Cold-brew, Cappucino, hot coffee, tea and miso white mocha were a few of the choices. The service was great, the price was fair and the vibe was perfect. Lots of people coming in and out and a few enjoying a seat and a computer. I am not 100% sure but it seemed like a part of the location was under construction and they were working to expand the location but I am could be mistaken. Overall....great location, talkative-energetic baristas, great coffee, wonderful quick service and a great vibe! Would I come back? Definitely!
Genuinely one of my favorite coffee shops to come to. Their espresso has a great taste and everyone is always so friendly. The ambience is great during the day and at night. I love coming to their Tuesday jazz jams.
Really good coffee. Location is in downtown Wilmington, but not quite the core of it where parking is a hassle. Plenty of street parking in the surrounding block(s). Very large open space inside; makes good room for the lines, at times. Even with long lines, the baristas take their time (in a good way) to still craft you a really good brew and not rush it for the sake of the rush. Counter seating is great as well as the window seats to have a good relaxing spot and view. My wife and I frequent this coffee shop whenever we're in town. Would recommend.
Stopped by Bespoke on my way to another cocktail spot, but the rebrand, the open doors, and the music pulled me in -- and I'm glad they did. This place is exactly what the Port City needed. Right from the start, they set the tone with a shot-and-a-beer welcome that felt genuine, not gimmicky. From there, I had two hand-crafted cocktails -- one made by the owner, and the other by the head bartender. Both were extraordinary. You can tell this team actually studies flavor, balance, and technique. These weren't random mixes; these were thoughtful drinks from people who take pride in their craft. The décor is clean, inviting, and gives you the energy you hope for on a weekend night after a long week. The vibe hits as soon as you walk in. The bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly, and asked the right questions to make recommendations based on my preferences -- not the easy guesses. Bespoke is absolutely a go-to. Whether you're stopping in for one drink or settling in for the night, this is a new anchor spot in downtown Wilmington. I'll definitely be back.
Service and interior: young lady at 7:30AM May have not been too elated to be at work this morning. She seemed disinterested in having conversation to discuss options or go over what the pastries were (I couldn't see the on the glass case based on where you need to stand to pay), and then forgets to put the pastry in bag so after got coffee (which was done quickly which was great) I had to stand in line again to get the pastry by the register and she giggled it off as forgetting. (Girl, if you don't want to be at work, change your job.) out started to get a little crowded as we were leaving. Music playing overhead not too loud. Their barista was quick and spoke loud. The self station is at the pick up counter but at first I didn't know where pick up was (order taker didn't offer to point us there either). But I saw another patron. The interior is really nice. Cool decorations, wide space, desk area on the side, seating and standing areas. I can see this as a place that attracts a lot of the college area patrons too. Food: ordered the strawberry pie pastry. It was VERY dry. Almost well done. Barely any strawberry inside. My little one didn't want it he said it didn't taste good and when I tasted I knew why. Unsure where they procured those from or if they make them. Drink: menu isn't extensive. The basics are overhead. The specialty drinks of the moment on a little board by the area where you stand to order on the counter. A few like strawberry later, dark chocolate orange cold brew latte and a salted caramel kind of drink. I went with the orange cold brew latte. It was ok. Very strong orange. The good news is the coffee isn't burnt the bad news was there was so much orange essence that you couldn't really taste the coffee. I didn't add sweetener and where these drinks usually don't need sugar this one did. I didn't grab any in the way out. Other stuff: Loved the merchandise. Very catchy and I can see everyone from the preschooler to the high schoolers in my house wanting to wear them. I'll likely buy something next time I come around. Parking is limited on Princess street and there is a municipal lot on 2nd. It's small. So if you can find a spot that's great otherwise you'll be walking from the other areas it garages close by. It's downtown it's all good. Overall I have a try 2-3 times approach to this so I'll give it a go again one day. Hopefully different vibe from the staff walking in and I'll likely get the regular coffee just to taste the brew. I'll pass on the food. For now it was not what I was expecting. Spent: $11
Ambience is lovely and cozy, there's a lot of places to sit and do work! They have a s'mores cookie that's insanely good, I'll get it every time. Their coffee is really good and well done. The service was so incredible! Such sweet baristas who answered all the questions I had! They know how to do their latte art there, I made them all pose for a photo because they were so kind. Go be nice to them! Also, the bar?? You're telling me I can grab a coffee at 3pm, then at 4pm I can grab a beer? That frosted glass is something I wish for on Christmas Eve. Just beautiful.
Probably one of my FAVORITE COFFEE SHOPS ever visited. LOVED the Decor, right up my alley. The coffee was amazing. I had a Honey Oat Latte. We also tried The Cortado. Divine! If you are in the Wilmington area, this is an absolute gem to satisfy your caffeine craving.
Great coffee shop in Wilmington- had an oat milk cappuccino and it was clear why this place is so popular! Flavorful coffee with the perfect foam and service was pretty quick too even though there was a long line. There is also lots of seating available and unique decor.
This coffee is such a vibe. Love the aesthetic. The service was amazing and super quick. I was in and out in 5min. And the coffee is FRESH! Great quality. See y'all soon!

Bespoke Coffee is such a great spot in downtown Wilmington! The coffee is delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I love the unique vibe and attention to detail--it feels like a place where you can sit and enjoy your coffee, catch up with friends, or get some work done. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in Wilmington. Highly recommend stopping in! read more

I love the aesthetic of this coffee shop and always make sure to visit every time I am in Wilmington. It is very roomy and they offer plenty of indoor seating. I love all of the artwork and graphic design on their T-shirts and drinkware as well. The drinks are always 10 out of 10. Be sure to try this place out! read more

Top 5 coffee shops I've been too. Ordered: (fall seasonal drink) maple cold brew pumpkin spice latte. Summary: just visiting, usually only rate a place after 2 different drinks (and trips). But my experience was so good and the coffee was great, even with creamer and other flavors you could taste coffee notes. Love the apparel and will have to buy some when they get my size in stock Review: I've traveled in Indiana, New York, and all across NC (Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, Wilmington, etc) and this is top 5 best coffee shops I've been to. Usually when I get a cold brew I can't taste the notes of the cold brew with creamer and I was astonished that I could not only taste the floral notes but they were very present and nothing overwhelmed them in the drink. They use Black & White beans, which I have heard by several are the best beans and I will have to try. Love the space and environment and wished I lived closer. read more

Whenever I visit a new town, I always look for the best coffee shop on Yelp. This one is by far the coolest! My son worked as a barista all through high school and college was impressed with his artistic and perfectly made cortado. Counter Culture beans and an assortment of teas are available to choose from. Cool decor and sitting areas. I always love it when businesses are pet-friendly! read more
I really like this coffee shop. The general vibe is just... good. It's a place you want to hang out at. The coffee is great. I enjoyed my iced dirty pumpkin chai while walking around the Saturday Farmers Market. Great lil spot! read more
Best. Chai. Latte. Ever. I wish I had the stomach space to try another drink because their chai latte was insanely delicious. It's probably the best one I've ever had. The coffee shop is pretty small, but it's definitely a good spot to study. I spent around ~3-4 hours here. Their baristas are really nice, and I love how clean and bright the space is. I definitely would come again JUST to order their chai latte. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly baristas, and the specialty coffee item I tried was fantastic! Love that even before you walk in you know it's going to be a great place. Lots of natural light and spaces to sit and visit. Huge fan of the aesthetic and will absolutely be coming back when I'm in town next. read more

Bespoke gives you the sense they truly care about how their customers feel. I'm glad we stopped in while we were in Wilmington. Friendly staff greeted us and took our order right away. The place was clean and possessed all the vibes you want a coffee shop to have. Behold the presentation of this pour over. read more
Was here in Wilmington for the inaugural half marathon and stayed downtown the entire long weekend. The hotel coffee was meh, but having Bespoke a couple blocks away was pretty awesome. Very hip and modern space filled with some clever artwork and branding, the baristas whipped up our orders in no time. I got "fancy" with my flat white that was delicious and had a pretty instagramable leaf on top of it. I'm sure there is free wifi since there were multiple people on their laptops either surfing or getting work done. There were also beer taps, so this was a pretty cool joint. read more
