    Beef empanada on the left and choripan empanada on the right
    Charlene C.

    Cute, cozy and quaint cafe. Parked for Free on the street. Not many tables inside, but there were still open spots for us to sit down. For breakfast, tried the meat lover omelette, egg and cheese, croissant sandwich, and two empanadas (beef and choripan). I liked how all of the dishes were garnished with fresh spinach leaves and an orange wedge, making them look colorful and appealing. My partner enjoyed his omelette, which included chorizo and julienned ham slices. Omelette was presented differently than the typical omelette, with it cooked/shaped as a bowl and stuffed in the middle with fillings. They don't make croissants in the house, but they bake them so it's nice and crispy. It was very filling. Next time I'll add ham to it to give it a salty taste. Empanadas were delicious. Served with a chimichurri sauce. Beef empanada was a little bit on the sweeter side. Their espresso machine was broken so they only had black coffee. Black coffee was alright, nothing special, but, it was nice to drink hot coffee out of a mug, making me feel like I was at home. They have coffee cards, which you hole punch yourself. You get a free coffee after getting 10 hole punches. If you care, your clothes might have a little bit of a cooking smell after being in the café for a while.

    My wife and I stopped in for a date lunch and loved it! I had the Sanchocho soup along with empanadas, and both were fantastic - the soup was especially rich and flavorful. She ordered the beef fried egg platter and a ginger honey latte, and everything was spot on. The café itself has a very cozy, welcoming vibe that made it easy to just relax and enjoy our time together. We'll definitely be back!

    I completely underestimated this place. I judged it before going in. Huge mistake!! The owners were so welcoming with great hospitality. The inside looked like a cozy cafe. The food was absolutely delicious!! Everything was baked and made fresh. It was a lot of us and we each tried different things. We all enjoyed every bit of it. The bagels and croissants were so good. The bacon was cooked to perfection. The omelets were nice and fluffy. Everything was just delicious!!

    Amazing hidden gem. This is exactly what Wilmington is built upon. The inside is so charming and smells amazing as soon as you step in. The patio outside is awesome as well. It was our first time here but the hostess treated us like we had been there before. Amazing food full of flavor.

    Grinders is a local coffee shop that has a slightly alternative, counter culture, artsy feel. The…read moremusic varies and today included George Michael and David Bowie. 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.

    Really disappointing experience at Grinders Coffee. The coffee itself was poor quality, and I was…read moresurprised they didn't offer any homemade syrups. My drink had to be remade twice, and instead of showing any sense of urgency, several employees were laughing and giggling while we waited, which came across as very unprofessional. I will say the person who took our order was nice and pleasant, and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the overall service and coffee quality were not what I expected from a local coffee shop. There are definitely better coffee options in Wilmington.
