    Such a cute coffee shop with a huge heart and mission! I am a sucker for supporting places that…read moretruly make a difference and this place does. They support the community, putting their resources back into those in need. The coffee was fresh, fun seasonal flavors, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Immediately upon entering Harriet and Colin greeted us with big smiles. They answered our questions and took the time to talk with us while making our coffees. They were so darn friendly it was refreshing. The location is cute with a fun brick exterior and open concept interior with seats and space to connect or work.

    I noticed the coffee shop driving through the neighborhood. I wasn't sure it was actually big…read moreinside until I actually went in. They have an outdoor patio in the back which has lighting for the evening. There are two entrances one is on 16th and one is in the parking lot. Upon entering the facility, there was a smell of water residue, which kind of turned me off at first I won't lie. Walking in you can see they have a huge grinder with sacks of coffee beans, there essentially grinding their own coffee beans to then roast and create drinks. I found that to be a huge plus. You don't see that often. There are hallways with seating as well as a communal space that is shared with a new juice beverage bar, which opened up next door. I think the coffee Roastery may actually be new as well. Other than the scent inside, I felt like it was big spacious and clean. Seems to be a little hidden gem in an area with an expected to be! There are bathrooms within the hallways, not near the eating areas which is always a plus. They're also seems to be a meeting room that they're building which would be really cool if you are a work from home person and looking for a quiet place to have a conference call or maybe get the team out of the office to cook grab a cup of coffee and a snack. It has a slide or tour for privacy. Other than that, the staff wasn't really friendly unfortunately. They were talking amongst themselves. Generally quiet little music playing overhead. People that were customers were nice but they seem to mostly be working independently. So it wasn't too loud maybe a nice place to plug-in to email, etc. during the workday. I ordered an iced vanilla latte. Coffee taste good. Overall, I didn't eat any of the food, but it was general bakery items like bagels and muffins. I'm not sure who they were provisioned with. I'll try it again in the future just to see if the experience is a little better but like I said, I think between the staff not really communicating or socializing with consumer and the scent that was throughout the facility. I think those were the two things that kind of turned me off a little bit. I'll be back though and give it a second try.

    Blue Cup is located in the Cargo district of Wilmington…read more Their coffee is strong (thinking Starbucks aficionados would do well to come here). And it is an improvement over the aforementioned. Meaning if you like dark coffee...this is your place. They understand what a flat white is most of the time and for me, who prefers lighter fruity roasts...their hit you in the nutz strength is well tempered with ordering a latte or FW if you follow me. While strong, it is beautifully roasted and does not leave you with a burnt taste. But you will not get those third wave hoity toity "notes" them nerds dream about. The staff...oh the staff...I do NOT know how they maintain such an upbeat and encouraging disposition encased in a tiny metal box all day, but when I have felt very low and needed some community love...I have always been lifted up by their vibe even before I get my cup of brew. Also they like dogs. Only missing one star because the new baked goods are too sweet and there are no cookies.

    Over New Year's, we had this coffee inside our houseboat, and my husband--who's more of a coffee…read moredrinker than I am--absolutely fell in love with it. He had me try it too, and I was amazed! I usually prefer a light coffee that's not too strong or burnt-tasting (unlike a certain popular chain...), and this one was perfect. We enjoyed it together on the top deck patio of our boat--such a cozy and memorable experience. While thinking of Father's Day gift ideas, I decided to get him a bag of the same coffee we enjoyed on the boat--along with a T-shirt. We don't live too far from Wilmington, so we're definitely planning to check out the storefront next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
