I really wanted to love Concorde Express Bar because I had heard so much hype about it, but…read moreunfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The scenery and atmosphere are definitely cute and make for some great pictures, but the overall experience was a little disappointing. We visited during the summer and got the s'mores kit, which sounded like it would be so much fun, but unfortunately, the little fire they brought out didn't work, so we couldn't even enjoy it. Their most famous drink was also not good at all. The only drink I really enjoyed was the watermelon drink, which came with a popsicle in it--that was actually pretty cool! The prices were extremely high for what we got, although that seems to be pretty common at a lot of places in Wilmington. I'd be willing to give it another chance during the winter because I could see the atmosphere being much better then. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, though, and definitely deserves some credit! Overall, I just left feeling pretty disappointed because I expected more based on all the hype.

At first , I wasn't sure I put the right place into the GPS or turned too soon, as it looked like a residential area and didn't have the largest signage.

They have a simple set up - bar top by the window, a large community table and then about six tables for 2. One gender neutral bathroom. I'd come back for coffee.

They are a small regional chain and I will be keeping my eye open for other locations when I visit the area again.

My affinity towards trying out local coffee shops when I travel led me to Port City Java, which was…read moreestablished in 1995 in Wilmington, NC, and has expanded to about 13 locations in the surrounding area. It's nothing revolutionary compared to other coffee shops, with a bit more of a limited menu than Starbucks and Dunkin. I went with an iced mochaccino, since I wasn't in the mood for a hot drink. It was decent, but it was nothing like the image on their menu or website. My biggest gripe was that the drink was more than 40% ice. I've had plenty of iced drinks before, but none have been overloaded with as much ice, so this won't be a place I'd recommend to others. While I thought this would be a place I would have liked more, it was a 3.5/5 experience at best, but happy to round up since customer service was friendly and to support a local business.

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.

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.
