Great ambience and amazing spot for socializing, friendly people. Leo is an amazing server!!

I am new to the area and we went out for sushi at Yosaka (which was a bust) for my birthday. We came here first to start off the evening, which I'm glad we did. It was during Christmas and they had it decorated really nice. The cocktails were spot on in the atmosphere is super cool here. I would definitely come back again! read more

Such a unique place! We had a fire pit reserved to pop in for s'mores and a nightcap. All of the staff, from the hostess, servers and bartenders, were really nice. The drinks were good and the s'mores were fun to make. It was a really cute courtyard, and we would go back again if we were in the area. Great spot for a girls night too. read more

Amazing coffee and pastries by morning and an extravagant and fun cocktail experience through the evening. Right now, the space is in high Christmas decor, so you definitely want to check it out. Plop down by a fire pit, enjoy the lively scene, and sip a tasty beverage. Great for a romantic date or with friends or colleagues. The evening bar runs from the backyard of the Front Street Inn, with loads of martini options, and it's largely an outdoor experience. On Saturday nights be prepared for a likely line. read more

The last few times I have visited they do not have food. Their response is either it only comes on certain days or that it's too early in the day. That inconsistency keeps me from coming back. I love the backyard and the staff is very friendly. read more

Got one of their special drinks, the pistachio tiramisuiced latte($7). It came out in a few minutes. The drink was sweet with notes of coco and vanilla. The outside patio was very gorgeous to hang out and could accommodate a bunch of people. A very solid coffee shop with good drinks and good vibes.

I wanted to like this place more than I did as they have an outstanding menu. We stumbled upon this place when looking for a cup of coffee. As it was a Saturday after 3pm, they said they could not seat us but we could order to go. So, we did. My friend finished her order first, then I finished mine, then a gentleman in another party finished his. My friend's coffee came out almost immediately. A short time later, so did the gentleman's coffee. I kept waiting. I was eventually asked after about 10 minutes if we were waiting on more coffee. They found my cup of coffee just sitting inside. I'd ordered the butterscotch rosemary coffee with whipped cream and toppings. By the time I got it, the whipped cream was melted, any toppings had sunk, and I couldn't taste much butterscotch or rosemary. I was sorely disappointed that I paid what I did for an anticlimactic cup of coffee. read more

Concorde Espresso Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Stopped in today to grab a coffee and get some work done, and I must say whether you like coffee or not, this spot truly has something for everyone, and is a must visit if you're looking to explore a unique local business in town. While their cold brew coffee is delectable, the decor of the actual shop as well as the friendly staff are what make this place a staple of downtown Wilmington. read more

One of my favorites if not my favorite espresso bar in downtown Wilmington. It is located in the perfect area of downtown WILMINGTON because there is generally better parking because it's not at the heart of the river. But it's not far enough that you can't just walk down the road and go to the river. The location is perfect. It has its own little parking lot and when there's not enough parking, there's municipal on the street parking, etc. they have a great outdoor area in the back with s'mores stations and outdoor seating. They do events that are fun. Great for group gatherings great for business meetings. Great to just have a cuppa coffee in the morning after you drop the kids at daycare or school And just a hint I've probably done that about eight times now lol they have a variety of drinks you could even make up your own concoctions. I love that in the afternoon it turns into an alcoholic beverage bar in addition to a coffee bar. It's a great place to get friends together or even have happy hour. They have an old school glass window in case sunroom attached to the back clearly this is one of the old-fashioned houses from downtown Wilmington and back in the days which has now been converted. The only thing is the entrance is a little bit tight so if you see a line, please try not to squeeze through the front door to fill up the foyer we live in North Carolina, not Colorado When cold is cold here it's not as cold as up north or to the west lol other than that, the staff is always friendly and kind. I love having the events and I will say I sat at a table with the owner and her husband one night and they were absolutely fun from Long Island represent New York!!! And as a former New Yorker now North Carolina, I enjoy them bringing this business here! It definitely feels like a touch of Home down south! There's not a lot by the way of pastry or sandwiches, etc. but that's fine. This is a beverage bar and so limitations on the foods is great because honestly it's more attention on the beverages lol. For the s'mores bar, you could also do crackers and cheese, which I love because not all of us want to do s'mores And we like savory! Plus, it goes great with the alcohol lol definitely recommend this is a place to hit up if you're in downtown WILMINGTON either visiting or if you live here, I'm actually going to have a business meeting there in two weeks as well as meet a new friend on Tuesday for a cuppa coffee in the morning before work! Thank you to Jamie and her husband and I look forward to many more events and seeing you guys!! read more

Concorde Espresso Bar - Leche 24oz Lychee Martini (made with Sutters Gin) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

The Concorde Espresso Bar is located inside the Front Street Inn at 215 S. Front Street in Wilmington, NC. It it the cutest espresso bar that features a travel-inspired atmosphere, reflecting the international flair of the boutique hotel. The space incorporates aviation-themed decor. The espresso bar offers a creative menu with sizes named after airplane classes: Main (12 oz), Business (16 oz), and First (20 oz). Since it was too early for Espresso Martinis I opted for a Caramel Macchiato & a Flaky Croissant. I can't wait until I can visit one evening and try out the Martini Flight and s'mores in the beautifully lit espresso garden. While I was there they were decorating for the holidays so it's about to get real LIT. If visiting at night for martinis it is suggested to make a reservation in order to secure a spot. read more

Went here after seeing a ton of reels surrounding their Espresso flight. Oh my goodness, I can't rave on this business enough. Everyone was very polite and welcoming, both the inside and outside were decorated so cute and inviting. We are already planning to come back so we can reserve a table with a fire pit and take advantage of their s'mores offering. Would be a great place to have a friend's meetup or have a date night like us. read more

What a lovely place! We found Concorde on social media and knew that we had to go on our most recent trip to Wilmington. I made a reservation weeks in advance as I had heard it can be tough to get in otherwise. It was well worth it as this place is amazing! We went on a fall evening and were greeted by a lovely fire and a large selection of drinks to choose from. We went with espresso martini flights and a s'mores platter. They paired perfectly together! You must try it! I can't wait to come back and try the other delicious sounding drinks on the menu. read more

Such a cute place! Went on a rainy day and sitting outside at the communal tables under a cover was great. Made new friends sitting here. Easy to make a reservation, seated immediately. 5/5 for the vibes. S'mores lit is a lot, we couldn't finish it all. Super sugary. Homemade marshmallows were really good and huge! 3/5 on s'mores, wish they did less milk chocolate and white chocolate and added dark chocolate. I wasn't a fan of the espresso martini flight, too sweet and not my favorite type of espresso martini, tasted watered down. 2/5 would not order espresso martini here again. However, the blueberry marg was amazing! Would 100% come back but would not do the s'mores or espresso martinis again Free parking lot, there is a sign to "park here" read more

Concorde Espresso Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Of course, I recommend Concorde espresso bar! I've been here now on two separate occasions. -- once for a double date night and another time with a large group of girls for a bachelorette. Both times were absolutely amazing. It is neat that you can order your drinks and any snack snacks on your phone and even pay through that mechanism as well. It does speed things up so that you don't have to wait for someone to come check on you. I also love both the outdoor seating and even the inside. The inside is pretty unique down to even the bathrooms. The one drawback of this place if you can even call it that is that there are so many options to choose from! So many different concoctions of espresso martinis that you've never even thought possible! Great place to go in your Wilmington and especially if you are looking for cute pictures to post. read more

Just the most charming little cafe. First time in Wilmington, & we walked to this cafe. The coffee selection was so wonderful (I'm a sucker for house made syrups & speciality drinks). My husband & I tried the latte Fleur which was made with house GROWN rosemary (what?!). So delightful. We also tried the latte Olivia and it was amazing. The seating inside is cozy, and the outside area is so charming! There were fire pits to keep us warm and it was such a nice environment. Truly one of the best cafes I've ever gone too. Only thing that would make it better would be food options! read more

Quite possibly the best drink spot I've ever been to. Such a unique experience in a beautiful setting outdoors with firepits, beautiful trees, and beautiful lights overhead. The drinks were so awesome that we had to get a second round from the super personable staff. And the music playlist was unbelievably good (electronic and house music). This place was the ultimately after dark Carolina vibe. This might be the coolest place in Wilmington, if not all of North Carolina. read more

Could you go somewhere else and get something a lot cheaper? That answer is yes. Would it come with such a great aesthetic and fire pits as this place? Maybe not. It's its own unique espresso bar and lives by that. It may not be for everybody but it's not a bad place to not go and check out weather it's a random moment, a cute date night or a fun group outing before going out somewhere else or if you're looking for a cool place to chill afterwards.

Cute vibe. Indoor outdoor with fire pits. Drinks are great, bartenders super fast. Great vibe for family and friends.

Everyone has been raving about this espresso bar and I found that the quality of the drinks in the atmosphere is top-tier. My only suggestion would be that you were able to order through your server versus having to do it through an app, I feel like it's less personable and intimate. The line outside can feel like a nightclub at times, but I appreciate that they take their security so seriously. Overall I'm really happy for their newfound success and I think the drinks and overall ambience speaks for itself! 5 stars and a great spot for groups and photo worthy menu items. read more

Stopped by for drink and to check out this place. This coffee bar is a part of this hotel. We did not see the rooms but saw people checking in. It looks like they have 12 different rooms. We sat inside but they have a nice outside area with fire pits. They make different speciality drinks and Expresso Martinis and Flights. A unique place for sure. read more

This is a fantastic idea and a great use of that space! First, the parking as it's always tricky downtown! They have a lot right beside it for parking. The other thing to know is if you go in the afternoon, they scan your license and will seat you. They take reservations, so if you want to be outside, make them! The drinks are expensive! More like Charlotte prices than Wilmington prices. Three cocktails and tip was nearly $60. The espresso martini is one of the best I've had and is made with real espresso! I mean, they are a coffee shop until 3:00! The old fashioned was a huge miss. Probably the worst we've had. It's definitely a cool place to check out! Happy to have something g different in downtown! read more

Must make a reservation! With approx 30 different types of espresso martinis, this novelty experience is just that- novelty activity for pictures and expensive semi-decent espresso martinis. The s'mores kit did feel "premium", with what seemed like homemade marshmallows. Lots of fire pits and could accommodate medium sized groups read more

After my son got into UNCW, several friends fwd me a viral TikTok video showing Concorde Espresso bar. Espresso martinis and s'mores? Yes please! We arrived for our 5 pm reservation outside and no one was there! It was a very cool vibe. In the backyard of a historic hotel and free parking! It was 21+ after 3pm. The homemade marshmallows were awesome! When we roasted them the powdered sugar on the outside caramelized and it was amazing! The graham crackers were nice and crisp and we had a Reeces cup, cookies and cream Hershey bar and classic milk chocolate Hershey bar. There are 10 martinis on the menu and a martini flight option. I ordered the s'mores martini and sadly was disappointed. It was really weird tasting, almost floral. We had water that was complimentary but honestly wished we had asked for bottled. It was kind of bath-water temperature and not great. I would have given 5 stars but the s'mores martini and tap water weren't great. read more

This was our first time here and just like we hoped for this place met our expectations and beyond! So they have parking, so that is a major plus for a place in downtown Wilmington! We were greeted and because it was a beautiful day we sat outside! So the hostess explained how we scan the menu and place our orders! So we started off with an expresso martini flight, affogato and 2 different lattes! Let me tell you the affogato was delicious! We told our waiter that we were scared cause we had high expectations and compared it to the ones we had in Portugal!! Well definitely a 10!!! The martinis were delicious as well! We ordered another affogato and a Peach Italian soda! Again perfect! Everything was great, the service, the ambiance and the drinks!! Definitely will come back with friends and maybe at night to take in the ambiance and do some s'mores! You will not be disappointed!! read more

I would definitely recommend coming here on a visit to Wilmington. We came in the middle of the day to try their famous espresso martini menu. We were seated instantly, but was told that we could only stay for an hour and a half. I think the only time I've ever been told I have a time limit was when I was in New Jersey. We were seated outside under an awning with a couch area that also included a fire pit. Unfortunately, it was warm that day so no go on the fire pit. We also were the only people seated at that sitting area. It looked a little busy at first, nothing crazy and the longer we were there, the emptier it got which questioned why there was a time limit. I ordered the tiramisu espresso martini, which had an amazing flavor, but was one of those drinks you ordered only once. I honestly can only handle one sweet drink in a day. My girlfriend ordered the normal espresso martini which she did not like at all. I tried it to see what the issue is and the espresso is clearly burnt. I would've returned it, but I guess she just was one of those people who don't say anything. So this is me saying something, your espresso that you used was burnt. They don't have much of food options which if I can remember correctly, it was only pastries. More sugar with my sugary drink. I just can't do that anymore. Would I come here again...I would. it's a fun atmosphere and I'm sure when it's colder and it's nighttime. It's could definitely be a relaxing place to hang out with a cocktail in hand and a nice open fire. read more

Stopped into Concord Espresso Bar on a rainy day and it was such a cozy escape. The drinks were excellent -- I tried a couple different ones and both were spot-on.

I went to Concorde Espresso Bar on a Saturday evening for pre-dinner cocktails. I will caveat this review and say this is probably not my typical spot. It seemed like the concept was meant to be exclusive, but I felt like it was more like entering a nightclub. I had the espresso martini flight. While the drinks were not bad, the cookie butter and regular espresso martini tasted very similar. In addition, I like espresso martinis when I can taste the espresso. I felt like they were overly sweet, hiding the espresso taste. read more

A Date Night Gem with a Festive Twist Concorde Espresso Bar is the perfect spot for a date or a cozy evening out. The vibe? Think "sexy sophistication" with a dash of holiday cheer. I kicked things off with their espresso martini flight a first for me when it comes to mixing coffee and alcohol. Let me tell you, I'm officially a fan. Each martini was delicious and looked like it belonged on the cover of Cocktails Monthly. Fair warning: they're on the smaller side, so you might need a second round I certainly did, purely for research purposes. Next up, the mimosa flight. Same story amazing flavors, Instagram-worthy presentation. If you're into flights, you're going to love this place. Seating options include indoor or outdoor, but the real magic is outside. Picture this: Christmas lights everywhere, fireplaces at every table to keep you toasty, and the kind of holiday decor that could make even the Grinch crack a smile. Oh, and did I mention they serve s'mores? Yes, you can toast marshmallows and build your perfect s'more right at your own personal fireplace. It's like luxury camping, but with better drinks. You order via QR code, which is quick and efficient, though it does make you feel a little like you're placing a very glamorous Uber Eats order. Pro tip: parking is scarce. If you don't snag a spot out front, head to the nearby public lot and enjoy a little stroll to build anticipation for those amazing drinks and cozy vibes. Overall, Concorde Espresso Bar knows how to set the mood, serve up the good stuff, and leave you wanting more just make sure to come thirsty and ready for a s'mores session! read more

I got one of the iced shaken espresso drinks with hazelnut. It was pretty good, and my husband and I sat inside. I liked the vibe, and it was pretty empty except for one other couple while we were there. However, my experience was impacted by one of the staff members sweeping and mopping. I understand wanting to clean, but I don't think you should be sweeping and mopping under my chair and getting right next to me while I try to enjoy my drink. We eventually left because it was such a nuisance. If I went again, I might get my drink to go. read more

Love this new coffee place and its concept! Very neat that they have international coffee style drinks. They have their own free parking lots. It's part of the Front Street Inn, but they have their own entrance on the side. Looks like you can order drinks from their website ahead of time. Both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is in a covered room with a cute little heater with flames, glass windows. Still a little chilly though in that room. Then there are additional outdoor seating, which look like it was part of the inn itself. They even have a record player, which looked like you could play one of the records yourself. Sizes of the drinks are either 12 ounce, 16 ounce or 20 ounce. There is a seasonal drink menu. Milk options are whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, and half-and-half. I tried the recommended signature Latte Alesund, a latte with almond lavender syrup, Nordic style. I forgot to mention to not make it as sweet, but luckily it wasn't. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. The lavender and almond flavors were subtle. Also got to sample an iced Matcha latte they were testing out, made with one shot of espresso, 8 ounces of milk, Matcha, and whipped cream. It had a nice Matcha flavor, but a bit too much milk for my preference. They have some small/sample size snack options, many just like you get on a flight, including Biscoff, Stroopwafel, milk chocolate and caramel cookie squares, hardshell nuts, etc. Great customer service! Loved talking to Thomas and Damon. You guys are awesome! Can't wait to come back! read more
