Interior and ambiance... it's for both the coffee & dog lover. It's simply perfect IMO. Very welcoming, the entire experience has a very "feel good" vibe. From greeting to set up to ambiance. Cup of coffee was good and they had desserts and breakfast items. Very intimate yet surprisingly a great size. Has outside seating too in front. Convenient off main road near netted parking. ( even though the meter person stalls and gave ticket thinking I expedited BUT I had already added on time so unsure why they had to aggravate me lol I was having a great morning there with a business partner lol) I will definitely go back and I will definitely bring my pup (who is a big puppy of 65 lbs so I'll have to make sure it's when not busy lol) Great place to try if downtown. read more

While in Wilmington I stopped at a coffee house that located at Cotton Exchange. The Barista was very friendly. She helped a very indecisive person (me) choose an amazing coffee drink. I ordered a vanilla frappe which was sooooo delicious. I recalled loved it. It was sweet but not overly sweet and it was topped off with whipped cream..yummy! It was a quaint spot and it seemed as if it were a placed that many of the locals frequented. read more

Loved this cafe! The prices were reasonable and the sizes were amazing - really got the bang for your buck. They also had great pastries and an open concept vibe that was perfect for remote work, meetings or coffee dates. The line was long (a good problem to have) when we got there but they moved fast and were extremely friendly. Also my favorite part was the coffee shop dog that welcomed everyone. read more

So friendly. Local, with personality. Dogs welcome. Coffee has good flavor without bitterness.

A great coffee stop with friendly and efficient service. Can't go wrong by supporting this local shop.

Came here for a afternoon caffeine pick-me-up, and was very glad I did! The place is very cute on the side inside, with a little bit of seating in the loft area. As the name might imply, the place is also dog friendly. They have a ton of flavored syrups to choose from (both sugar free and regular!) and I decided to go with the sugar free peanut butter syrup in just their regular roast and was glad I did. Their coffee is bold, hot and flavorful and honestly didn't even need an extra flavoring. On top of good quality coffee, the baristas were very sweet and helpful and just another reason to want to keep coming back. read more

**Happy Friday from Java Dog Coffee House! ** While wandering down Front Street in Wilmington, I popped into Java Dog Coffee House for a quick afternoon pick-me-up. I chose an iced mocha, and it was absolutely perfect! The espresso was wonderfully nutty, lingering on the tongue exactly as it should, and the cocoa was measured just right, providing a perfectly balanced delight. The bakery case was filled with an enticing array of pastries and sundries. With so many other tempting offerings on the menu, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you're ever near Front Street in Wilmington, don't miss out on stopping by Java Dog Coffee House. You're in for a treat! read more

They made us excellent coffee drinks, the service was great. Enjoyed seeing customers dogs

Ok so I came to your guys cafe and got some coffee with my brother because I'm California and I flew out to surprise my father because he was diagnosed being blind this past Father's Day holiday in June. Anyway y'all's environment was awesome but when I've been trying to call and to talk to a staff member for over a week, to ask questions, I never get an answer, always get the answering machine. And all I want to do is order more coffee (bourbon butter pecan flavor) so that's why y'all get 1 star. No picks up the phone. And I can't order. Yes I've asked my family to go pick some up for me but they have been very busy. So please tell me there's a solution to this problem read more

Nah. Not the best customer service let's just say. Showed up before they closed and was quickly shooed out rudely.

This is a nice little café on Front St in downtown Wilmington, close to some hotels. Nice place to grab a cup of coffee, a latte, an Americano, etc. They also have fresh baked goods brought in daily... they have really tasty bagels! The staff was friendly and very helpful. Prices are very fair. I'd definitely return! read more

Stopped in to get a cup of coffee which was great. While I was there grabbed one of the local pastries which was delicious as well

Visiting for the day on the way home from the beach and needed a caffeine kick to continue our drive. It was such a cute and kitschy spot. There is a great pastry case with bagels, cookies and treats. We had iced mochas with extra mocha and added a dash of cinnamon, DELISH! I can't wait to come back to the area to try something else and a treat. read more

Great place to grab a coffee in-between classes, good mocha latte gets me nice and stimed up before class. Always good service and the environment is good for a quick study. Idk why there's bad reviews honestly people just be trippin over anything. read more

The staff is always friendly and the coffee is good. Also dogs are welcome so that's a plus! Has a cute loft area to sit at too.

Typical local coffee shop. Full coffee menu like anywhere. I found the cappuccino to be really good. Highlights - Nice locally owned business - Downtown Wilmington right off Front Street - Dog friendly - Cash and plastic accepted. It didn't look like they took Apple Pay but I also didn't ask. - Small seating area on the main level but more seating upstairs read more

VERY disappointed in my experience at Java Dog this morning. This place came highly recommended but I won't go back. My boyfriend and I stopped in for coffee and breakfast around 7:30am. We ordered two ice coffees and a breakfast burrito and a sausage, egg & cheese biscuit. The young man behind the counter took our order and rang us out but I noticed that he didn't wash his hands and barehanded the food which he put on two paper plates. He put them both into the microwave at the same time and after a minute, opened the door and poked them with his fingers to see if they were done. Gross! I saw the whole thing and asked for a refund. That is a major health code violation. The young man initially denied everything but then admitted to not washing his hands in between handling the cash and the food. He gave me the refund for the sandwiches and we left. Other people seem to like this coffee shop an I'm hoping that this was a one off. Either way, I wouldn't go back to Java Dog. read more

Great coffee. I had a raspberry white chocolate latte and the coffee was strong and tasty.

Dog friendly- love!! I had the best iced caramel latte of my life here! This was such an enjoyable experience. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was unique and comfortable, and their drinks are delicious. Customers brought their dogs in and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They even have oatmilk!!! Which is a huge bonus in my books! read more

Three words, butter pecan latte - probably my favorite coffee drink to exist. I have been frequenting this coffee shop for years when I lived in Wilmington and of course had to visit for nostalgia while I was in town. Yes, it's still just as wonderful as it was 10 years ago if not better now that serve Burney's glazed croissants. I was legit in heaven and it was only 7am. Spoiler alert: the business is dog friendly read more

Great tasting coffee! Service was fast. Love the atmosphere of having doggies hanging out while you're having coffee.

Wonderful frappe on a very hot summer day. The price was reasonable. The portion was large. The waitress was really sweet. Definitely will be back when we return to Wilmington in the future. read more

Coffee was good (Americano with cream). Atmosphere was a little...different than your typical coffee shop. Nice staff, but a little unkempt however and felt a bit cluttered and overwhelming aesthetically. I didn't get any food, but it did look good. In a fantastic area. The cotton exchange area that it is located in is super cool. read more

This is some of the best coffee I have had in my whole life. I visited Java dog twice while on vacation once once 5/23, and once on 5/24, and both times the employees were amazing. They were so kind and had great recommendations regarding the menu. Absolutely love this place! I will definitely be a returning customer anytime I visit Wilmington. I even downloaded yelp specifically to leave this review because they absolutely deserve 5 stars. read more

An iconic coffee shop right in the heart of Wilmington. I love grabbing a cup of joe before walking around downtown. They have iced and hot coffee and just about every variation you can think of. I love they have different flavors of the day for you to enjoy. The prices are great and the service is always super friendly and welcoming. There is space inside, in the cotton exchange and outside to sit at. read more

Bummed they were sold out of a Chai but they totally hooked me up with something similar... latte with brown sugar cinnamon syrup; totally hit the spot! Grabbed a plain bagel and cream cheese. Love the local, personable and relaxed vibe here. read more

This place comes highly recommended so when port city's card reader wasn't working (cash only) we saw the perfect opportunity to try java dog! Unfortunately, it just was not what I was expecting. The coffee had a weird artificial after taste yet no flavor at the same time. The ice cubes were melted down from the get go.. making it straight water. $12 dollars for two iced coffees and nothing to show for it. This will probably be my last time at java dog. As a self proclaimed coffee connoisseur I really need to be blown out of the water to justify paying outrageous coffee prices for diner quality coffee ..even when I'm downtown. read more

They're affordable and easy to find when walking around downtown Wilmington. read more

Delicious pastries and coffee!! Very sweet workers!! Highly recommend! And it has a bathroom!!

This is a fun and eclectic coffee house. Hot coffee, weird decorations, Nooky, Random items for sale like glass straws, and pastries. It was jam packed early Saturday morning ! My only disappointment here was there just was no room. No room to stand in line, any seating available was by the trashcan at face level literally, and a bunch of plastic chairs lined up out front outside with no tables. This is a great coffee shop but it's awkward and hard to get in and out of when it's busy! read more
