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.

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.

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.

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!!

Nice little locally owned coffee houss. Very friendly staff. Have a selection of scones and pastries that seem to be made on site. Solid coffee. Don't know roasting source, but had a few different selections over a couple days in town. No pour overs or higher end options but good for batch brew. Ambiance is good. Mostly locals when I was in there (most seemed to know folks when they came in). Reasonable amount of seating- tables and chairs mostly. Definitely would go back if in the area in the future. Four star for batch brew type coffee shop that gets outside sourced beans. read more

Kava Haus is a surprisingly nice little coffee shop located in the back of a former funeral parlor. It appears to be a family run business with everyone pitching in. A young girl took our order and we chatted with the owner, who was cleaning tables, while waiting for my iced mocha. The menu is itty bitty and pretty basic (coffee, mocha, etc) and there were some fresh pastries and pre-packaged juices available. Exposed brick walls, a nice corner fireplace, ultra-high ceilings, and warm colors make this a warm and inviting place to enjoy a cup of coffee. There is also a game set in one corner and an acoustic guitar, which the owner encouraged my husband to strum while waiting, in another corner. If the weather is nice, you can sit on the large front porch and watch the traffic go by. Side note: Hours posted online aren't always accurate, as I've stopped by twice only to find them closed. read more

On my first visit, I used the drive-thru and was helped by a young man who provided exceptional customer service. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, took the time to explain how different drinks were made, and offered thoughtful suggestions that helped me decide what to order. His enthusiasm and expertise made the experience enjoyable and left a great impression. On my second visit, I went inside and was greeted by a wonderful young lady named Savannah. She was pleasant, patient, and genuinely kind. Her warm smile and positive demeanor brightened my day and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. It's not often that you find a coffee shop that combines great coffee with such outstanding customer service, but Kairos Coffee does exactly that. The staff clearly care about their customers, and it shows. I highly recommend Kairos Coffee to anyone looking for a great drink and an even better experience. I'll definitely be back!
