    a mural of a man and a woman

    What a sweet (literally) place! I had found myself in the area and couldn't resist going into this cute home turned coffeehouse. The ambiance here is great--laidback and antiquey--and the staff was friendly. I went ahead and got their "bestseller" the Grogg with oat milk. It's definitely a sweet one with nice caramel notes and went down smooth. I couldn't help but grab a cinnamon roll to which my surprise they also offered one with fresh sliced apples chopped in it. SO decadent! I'm had to save half for later. I stayed and read a book by the fireplace and melted in the comfy chairs. This must be a treat for the town and college, I would definitely be coming here on a regular basis if I lived in town! A good one to keep note of when in the area. Definitely not one to sleep on.

    Mocha With Coconut

    Kava Haus is the best place in Wilmington for coffee. It's the only one that's not a chain. The inside is nice but it's hard to get a seat. It's close to the college. This means it's usually filled with students and staff. It's in a nice looking old building. It's close to Wilmington College. There were a lot of college students in their having coffee or in the kitchen working. It's expected. This is one of the few places in town for them to hang out. I had a mocha with coconut. It's about $3.50 for the regular size. The coffee was hot and strong, not watery. It doesn't have much in the way of food. They do have cinnamon rolls. Pretty much the only place in Wilmington for coffee. Inside is a nice place but it can get kind of loud if you are wanting to either read or study.

    Mocha

    I stopped here because I needed the caffeine for my drive home and I needed wifi - luckily they had both. Not from the area, so I was glad to find it. It's the only coffee shop in the area apparently. I opted for the mocha and forgot to tell them no whip. The mocha itself was pretty average to be honest but it was less than $4 for 12 oz. Locals popped in and out while I sat on my laptop sipping my mocha. It seemed fairly lively which makes sense. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the entire experience was lovely and quaint.

    Well.. This is a 4$ '16' oz Cappuccino.. 4oz of espresso and the rest is hot foam.

    So literally paid 4(!) usd for 2 shots of (semi-) watery espresso and another 4 oz of milk which they steamed to 16(!!) Oz. The cup was so light that i thought they forgot something. I walked back up to the counter and really politely asked for another shot to get at least something into the huge cup which is not even half full and Ashley said it would be an extra charge and walked off... So much for customer service. It's really sad because i wanted to like that place, mainly because of the furniture and the fireplace but rudeness draws the line here and can not be tolerated. So i recommend literally ANY other coffeeshop (try Kairo) then Kava Haus. The kids in there do not know customer service and nobody tells you a cappuccino is airy milk and no coffee. Go some other place. And Ashley - i would like you to experience what you did to me today at some point and maybe rethink your attitude.

    The grogg
    Addie N.

    This grogg was sweet with a bold flavor and carmel running like honey from the promised land. The cutest dining room also, I just went for coffee but their pizza looked like another visit was scheduled this would be a great date place or hang out with a friend. Incredible environment too, I love it here!!

    Chili and fresh bread!

    See all

    Good coffee - in a old converted house. Even this Seattle coffee consumer is a fan. Come here every time I visit! I think it's haunted!
