Port City Java is a great Wilmington area alternative to Starbucks. This Southport location is…read morelocated in the heart of the downtown core next to the Amuzu theater and has bright and welcoming interiors. After a somewhat disappointing experience at one of the Wilmington Port City Java locations where my drink was overloaded with ice, I made sure to ask to ask if it can be made with less ice, and the staff delivered by making a Mocha Freeze that was smooth and great tasting. It wasn't too sweet and more importantly, it wasn't over 40% ice. While it wasn't the best crafted drink I've had at a coffee shop, it was a solid 4.5/5 experience, which I'm happy to round up since the service was warm and friendly. I'd recommend giving Port City Java a shot for your caffeine needs in Southport.

We also had her provide us with cookies for our family and out of town friends dinner. Interestingly, many of my guests who asked where our cake came from did not know this bakery. I myself had only recently stumbled upon the business while out going all over Southport to sell ads for the Historical Society House tours booklet. Prior to this I had never been there either. I hope with this review and more on other social media that Christine's business gets better known.

Ohhhhhhhh it was so good, I might want to go visit my MIL more often now. Hell, I might want to buy a 2nd home there and maybe retire if I can hang out in this lil dock area and eat ice cream.
