It makes you feel like you're in the middle of a mini jungle, but in a good way. Customer service was excellent! The barista greeted us all with a smile and was very patient as we ordered our drinks. The coffee was delightful, and they use homemade syrups, which is a big plus! I honestly cannot wait to come back and visit again. If you're in the area, please do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Just left Hidden Grounds Coffee in Wilmington. Other than the outdoor setting, almost nothing else…read morewas worth the trip. We ordered a cappuccino, a latte, a zucchini muffin, and a cheese biscuit. The bill came to $29, including a $5 tip. The cappuccino was tiny and tasted like lukewarm burnt dirt with a faint Starbucks aftertaste (I hate Starbucks). My wife said the latte was merely okay. The zucchini muffin and cheese biscuit were both terrible--almost certainly baked sometime last week. Even after we warmed them in the microwave, one bite was enough. Dry, stale, and with a flavor that's hard to describe without being unkind. The music was so loud at 7 a.m. on a holiday Monday that you had to shout at the baristas to be heard. And that "beautiful" outdoor area? Every seat and table was wet. Nothing had been wiped down. Hard to believe this place sits at 4.9 stars. I'm doing them a favor by giving them two. Just another mediocre Wilmington spot that's easy to skip next time.

It was delish, but probably could have been just a little bit stronger. That's a matter of personal preference. Also, the barista brought us out the drinks instead of shouting across the space, which was super considerate. It is a small interior, but there is a lot of variation in the types of tables and seating. It's so much more cozy than a big chain and everything being pink gives it a very feminine and comfortable energy. I would be a happy camper posting up with my laptop and clickity-clacking all day. The plaza it is in is a little sketchy, but once you get through the doors here- it is a total oasis. Loves it!

The customer service is excellent and the baristas have gotten to know me and provide recommendations for new things to try based on what I have had in the past. The shakes, iced coffee, and lotus energy drinks are great. The shop provides seating outside and inside. There is one bathroom that is kept clean. Overall, the shop is very clean. Iced coffee and regular refills are $0.50. The baristas have made an effort for me to know their names, as well and many have helped create a great environment through great conversations. The only note, which many customers would likely agree, is that the aesthetically pleasing menu can be a bit overwhelming at first glance due to the many options. But, once you take it in, you can find what you are looking for to order. If you can't, the baristas will be happy to help make something that is amazing for you. There is also a roll the dice game that helps create a beverage for you, as well. All in all, Grinders is a great place to get caffeinated, socialize with others, and get work done.

There are definitely better coffee options in Wilmington.

A friend and I were shopping yesterday and I was in dire need of caffine, so we parked right next to the food court so this could be our first stop! There was a cute chalkboard sign next to the register showcasing their cold brew coffee. I love cold brew. If you're unfamiliar, cold brew coffee is just coffee that is steeped overnight. The coffee slowly infuses with the water, so you get a stronger brew. An added advantage is that you get virtually no bitter flavor that sometimes remains after a normal hot brew. Anyway, needless to say, I ordered their cold brew with a half-pump of sugar free vanilla syrup and almond milk. This is my go to coffee order because I don't want it super sweet. Additional reason: I have to get in a bathing suit this weekend. The coffee was strong but not bitter. Very smooth and the barista mixed the perfect amount of almond milk! Perfect! My friend Maranda got a mint chocolate chip coffee ice cream shake. Let me tell you, this thing was ah-maz-ing! Not super sweet, chocolatey with a hint of mint, and you could still taste the coffee behind it all. She let me try it, but I wouldn't asked to if she hadn't! I was mint-green with envy at her order. Seriously, give this local shop a try! It is fantastic and the service was equally as wonderful!
