We were taking a walk near the beach and craving something refreshing so we decided to stop by The Workshop. The interior is cute and cozy. There's outdoor seating available, which is a great option for beach weather. My smoothie and sandwich came out quickly and everything tasted great. The Workshop was the perfect little pitstop. Great drinks and food, fast service, and a charming atmosphere. read more

Great little breakfast spot! Healthy options are always so hard to find - I really enjoyed their nut butter and avocado toasts and their smoothies are all natural, don't taste over sugary and have protein in them! Great quick spot to grab a bite to eat when you're in Wrightsville Beach. We went twice we enjoyed it so much! Recommend to anyone who's looking for something quick, nutritious and right by the beach. read more

Very unique little cafe with good drip coffee ($3.50 large), friendly service & breakfast and lunch sandwiches. What makes this cafe so unique is the display of sharks teeth and some very large megalodon teeth. You can also buy sharks tooth necklaces. Surf videos and cool jazz are the vibe. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Place is absolutely chaos!! I ordered the Carmella iced which is Vanilla and Caramel espresso, honestly not that good and definitely was not worth the chaos inside. The drink just did not have a good balance blend, it was very separate in personality and not a fav for me. read more

Great black coffee! It can be difficult to find a place that serves a great cup of black coffee, but The Workshop has one. Not too bitter, not too dark -- the drip coffee is just right. The Workshop is located just steps from the beach, and it is a great place to visit on a lazy morning to grab a coffee (which is exactly what I did). It's also a great place to grab a nourishing smoothie (which is also what I did). I recommend the Boneyard, which includes banana, spinach, dates, almonds and almond milk. It's all of the good things you need in the morning to nourish your old bones. This coffee shop is owned and operated by local SCUBA divers who have collected fossils and shark teeth during their underwater adventures. They have their collections on display, and have even turned some of them into jewelry that you can purchase. It's an interesting coffee shop slash jewelry shop. There isn't much space to sit and enjoy your coffee indoors. There are a few barstools around, but they seem mostly for transient visitors who are there to pick up their food and beverage to go. There are more spaces to sit and luxuriate outside, where there are a few umbrella'd tables on the patio. read more

Their coffee is amazing!! The flavor is on point -- not too sweet, but still really flavorful when you get one of their speciality lattes. Love the vibe inside, staff was working hard when we went! As for the food, the way they have it laid out in the display coolers is kind of unappetizing (the lox bagels looked so gross, even though it was likely just bc of the presentation). But will totally be back for coffee!! read more

Such a great little Wrightsville cafe. They have delicious coffee, smoothies, and sandwiches. They also have shark tooth souvenirs and jewelry if you're a collector. The avocado toast was great and so were the lattes. read more

Delicious avocado toast and chai latte. Service is impeccable and there is a great local vibe

Stopped in on a cold January morning. We got there just in time before there was quite a line. It seemed like the staff member taking our order and making our drinks was very new and was getting a little assistance at she was finishing up our drinks. We honestly weren't sure if our drinks were made how they normally would do them. I had a vanilla latte but it was wasn't very flavorful and my husband had a peppermint mocha latte which also was pretty light on the flavor. Hopefully, they get that staff member trained up! I had the avocado toast and added an egg to it, it was soooo good! Like maybe the best avocado toast I've ever had! Will definitely try them out again next time we are in the area visiting. They also have some really cool shark teeth, shark teeth jewelry, and some apparel for sale. read more

A great spot to get a cold drink for the beach! The shop was super crowded when we went on a Sunday morning, which made the ordering and pick up situation a bit chaotic, but we still got our drink promptly. We got the Mangodon Smoothie, which was solid -- fruity and nice that it comes with protein! The drink was understandably pricey given the location of the shop, but we'd still recommend stopping by for a refreshing treat during the summer. read more

I have mixed feelings with this place. The food was really good. I got the chicken bacon ranch with bbq sauce. They panini press their sandwiches so it was so tasty and pretty large. The coffee was average. And what bothers me is the menu isn't correct on pricing. My iced caramel macchiato should have been $5. However, as you can see by the receipt it was $6.75...and an additional .75 cents for ice. To be fair the ice is frozen coffee. But I wasn't informed of the upcharge. So my $5 coffee turned into an almost $8 really quickly. And without my knowledge. So be aware of the price differential before ordering. The barista was really nice. I would go back if I was over this way but due to price and average taste of the coffee I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

First time, I work for the Deaf and Hard of hearing division and stats say 40% of the adult population has a hearing deficiency, they tell you they will call your name when ready but the music is so loud, you may not hear it, if you walk up they get testy. So plan on a long confusing wait, as they put drinks up and my wife's drink under Rick, never called my name, it just sat there and got cold. Terrible system, it's broken. Go to tower 7 read more

The espresso was excellent; however, the server was walking to another customer while preparing the drinks. They don't sell/serve brewed decaf which was okay, so we ordered 2 medium Americanos instead. The reason for the drop in this rating is because the server did not make the drinks as requested and she had to be corrected twice. The server also charged us for 2 large coffees despite the fact that we asked for 2 medium drinks!! We paid for the larger beverages although we asked for a medium because we didn't have time to wait. Otherwise, the place was cute and trendy and had a comfortable seating area outside. They should give each customer their full attention. I would try them again when in the area. Hopefully, my order will be heard and done correctly. read more

Love this little coffee shop/smoothie/sandwich cafe in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. Terrific, friendly customer service awaits you. We had two of their panini style sandwiches which were great and enjoyed sitting outside. Most customers seemed to come for the coffee and smoothies. Definitely a place to check out. read more

If I was a coffee drinker...this place is fast...energetic and down right hip and cool...with great music and funky jewelry of sharks teeth... But...ordering a tea was a bad idea...no less than 15 coffee drinkers received there orders whip I wait for the tea...which they forgot...steeping way over 5 minutes made it bitter and I also asked for sugar with it...which they forgot to add...as added it myself...they kindly offered a spoon only for me to dine out they were stirring coffee drinks with it...making the tea taste like coffee. My advice....just drop the tea off the menu as they are not equipped to handle it at multiple levels. The only bright spot was the apple fritter....excellent. And I'll leave you with this...They have a sign on the wall that reads..."friends don't let friends drink Starbucks "....I'd scratch under that...."unless it is Tea...then Starbucks is definitely better. read more

Wow!!!! This is the cutest little coffee shop! I found it on trip advisor. THANK YOU!!! We were headed out of Wrightsville Beach area and needed breakfast. We decided to give this place a go based on all the coffee options (for my husband), and the croissant sandwich for me. All of the sandwiches are pre made, displayed in the refrigerated case. They will customize it how you want it though. I ordered the bacon egg cheese croissant with crispy bacon and light cheese. My husband ordered the plain bagel with ham, egg, & cheese. All sandwiches are warmed on a panini-style press. MAN WERE THEY GOOD!!! My husband truly enjoyed his iced coffee as well - and he's pretty funny about it. ( it was so good he didn't need to stop at a Cuban spot on the way home - - that says a lot!) We will become forever customers each visit to Wrightsville Beach! read more

This place has the absolute best breakfast croissant I've ever had! Wow! I'm back now for a sandwich for lunch looking forward to it! The lines can be long in the morning but the staff is super fast and efficient. It's pretty small inside but they play relaxing music and have bar style seats to sit inside and there are tables with umbrellas right outside as well. I highly recommend coming here! read more

We use to visit frequently and decided to try a smoothie. Very disappointing to say the least. Watered down what tasted like powdered mix. It was terrible. Will not be getting smoothies here again. Hoping this was an off day. read more

Average cup of joe. $18 for 2 drinks. Inside is very aesthetically pleasing and nice.

Early morning sunrise at Wrightsville Beach and then a great bulletproof coffee from The Workshop.

I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it tasted like it had been sitting out for like 5 hours it did not taste freshly made and it was a over $6 so that was disappointing, I didn't like it so I gave it to my dog and then he immediately threw it up. I also got the honey lavender latte which was on their specialty menu and it wasn't that good. The store was really cool tho inside with all the shark teeth. read more

This place has a super cool vibe. The food is good. But their prices are totally unhinged. $11 for an iced matcha latte... that's more than new york city. Go to sundays instead. read more

This is more than a coffee shop. The workshop has a great vibe, friendly staff, and a good menu. I loved the shark teeth theme they incorporated too. We got sandwiches, coffee, and smoothies on our visit. The smoothies were the surprise hit. They were super fresh and delicious. Great stop before (or during) a day at Wrightsville beach. read more

The Workshop - Latte - iced with carmel syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

It's good.. not amazing, but good. Nothing extremely spectacular or anything that blew me out of the water coffee-wise. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato. I thought I was going to be paying $5 since the menu told me so, but I was charged 85¢ extra. It was good, but again, nothing that blew my socks off. Just be cautious when going in, because after reading some reviews, looks like prices are more than what they say. Oh well. If I come back, I'll probably skip the coffee and just get a breakfast sandwich. Staff are extremely friendly so that's a plus! read more

The service is not that great. Because they're so busy, the person taking the order is absentminded. They have a new cold brew with coconut water but ran out so I got coconut milk, it was ok. I also ordered the Tower with spinach added and it was so diluted and lacked flavor. They took a while to make the smoothie. They'll bring any food and sandwiches you order to you but you need to wait for the drinks inside. Located close to Wrightsville Beach so if you can't find parking in their parking lot, which is quite small, find beach parking on the side and walk over. Beach access 33 is close by so take your drink to the beach and enjoy it by the waters! read more

I highly recommend checking out The Workshop! They offer a variety of coffees (iced, hot, frozen), smoothies and breakfast sandwiches! I had the tower and was able to add a shot of espresso! I loved that I had the option to add espresso to my smoothie. I wanted a smoothie and coffee and this gave me the option for both without having two drinks. The service was amazing. The owner was super friendly and moved at a fast pace to keep wait times down. They worked as a team and kept drinks and food moving. To help with social distancing, they would have you wait outside and bring your food and smoothies to you. If you are visiting the Wilmington area you should definitely check this place out! I will be back! read more

This is fast becoming one of my favorite places on Wrightsville Beach! The Mangodon smoothie is absolutely amazing. Packed full of Mango, Peach, banana and strawberry goodness.

They have a ton of Meg shark tooth fossils for sale! read more

I love all there is to explore at The Workshop. Not only can you find coffee here, but there are also beautiful shark tooth necklaces, sandwiches, and even espresso served with vanilla ice cream. I got a lavender iced latte with oat milk, and my partner got a peppermint mocha with oat milk. All of these were very light in flavor and refreshing. Especially after a long morning at the beach in classic Wilmington summer heat, this is the perfect stop for hydrating drinks. The apple fritter was my favorite--not too sweet or heavy. This is just the way I like my dessert (unless it is chocolate haha.) The Workshop also has a good amount of outdoor seating, and I love the wooden exteriors inside. This café really belongs close to the shore. read more

Fast, friendly service and such an inviting cafe atmosphere, definitely a must-try! read more

Coffee is spot on! Great vibe inside. Had to bring home two of their logo ball caps. Perfect fit!

We love supporting local businesses, however, this business gets 2 stars for dishonesty. They charged more than they advertised on their menu board. The board says $5.25 for an Iced Honey Lavender Latte, but we were charged $6.25 plus $.75 cents for ice, so it was $7.00 for an Iced honey Lavender Latte instead of $5.25. There are many other great local coffee shops around. read more
