10 out of 10. Amazing coffee and service. While visiting Wilmington, I googled this gem and…read moredecided to indulge. It's a cute quaint coffee shop with great trinkets, stationary, mugs, cards and of course - Coffee. I had the Golden Gal (see photo). It was delightful. The baristas were super helpful and friendly. I seriously wanted to return for another one or one of the other drinks. But it was my last day in Wilmington . But I will certainly be back.

I'm so glad we stopped in. This has got to be one of the cutest coffee shops I've been to. Decor is…read moreso pretty and girly, drinks are pretty and good too - and the decor, stationary and shopping are so adorable. They offered custom crepes although I didn't get one because we had breakfast reservations elsewhere. I would have though! I ordered the prettiest drink which was called You're Like Really Pretty. A nod to Mean Girls I assume. It was tasty, I wish I could go back for another. I also wish we had something like this in Charlotte. Can't wait to return on a future visit.

My daughter ordered the Salted Coconut Oat Coldie and said it was fabulous! My other daughter had the Vanilla Bean Cold Brew and said the foam on top tasted like ice cream. She absolutely loved it. While we were there, lots of people were coming in for full meals, and the atmosphere was really cute and welcoming. It definitely seems like it would be a great spot to sit down for breakfast or lunch as well. Perfect beachy coffee shop vibe!

Located in landfall shopping center next to the nail shop. Coffee beans are from Blue Cup Roastery…read more Besides drinks, Pastries and bagels are from Wilmington bread Company. Non-dairy milk options are almond, oat, macadamia nut, pistachio. Tried one of the summer specials, pandan and coconut latte which is made with pandan extract and coconut syrup. Ask them to make it less sweet. The latte was alright. Could've been made either hot or cold. Also tried one of the pastries, a blueberry crumble danish. The danish was the highlight of the visit. It was very good, not overly sweet, tasted fresh. I liked the soft, sweet blueberry crumble in the middle. Besides pastries, in a small display cooler, they have mush oats, baked omelette cups, and a gluten free snack from Cravings. In the back of the coffee shop, there are some comfortable chairs and a small couch. Dim lighting at the tables. They have a loyalty card where you can get a " stamp" for every visit and on the eighth visit, you get a free drink.

I've had 3 fall specials since I've been here and each has been better than the last. The service is surprisingly fast for as busy as it can get, they've got plenty of hardworking baristas to craft your order! The inside is so cute and cozy with a comfy little back corner with couches & soft lighting. It's baby & dog-friendly. Get the large, you'll wish you had if you get a small.

Maven takes a different approach to coffee, skipping the standard heavy syrup you find in most places and instead focusing on carefully crafted pieces of art. I would describe their style as a hybrid between the craftsmanship of fine dining, the flavor blending of craft cocktails, all wrapped up in an artistic display. The people working here are skilled and very friendly and happy to explain their menu My wife had the campfire latte, which was a gentle s'mores flavor with freshly crumbled graham cracker topping in a marshmallow they toasted right in front of you as a top. Most importantly, it was very coffee forward on flavor with very minimal but appropriate use of sweetening flavors. I had the chocolate cherry truffle latte, which was again very coffee forward with very subtle and perfectly balanced flavors. Most interestingly, the drinks were a very fair price, because with this level of artistry in presentation you'd expect it to be expensive. This was a great little stop on vacation, and if I was local I would come more often. They are definitely stepping out of the mold of the traditional mainstream coffee shop, And doing a great job.
