    Spiciest chai I've ever had. So good! And if you're looking for even more of a kick, try the Moroccan latte or coconut cayenne latte. Hubby got a cardamon latte are really enjoyed it. They also sell locally made goat milk soap. They share a space with Pomegranate books so take a browse through while you're waiting and buy some greeting cards or books!

    If you're like me and two of your favorite things are good ol' fashioned books and coffee, Zola is the place for you. And let's talk about creativity: "Coconut Cayenne Cappuccino"? First off, great use of alliteration. :) Secondly, the drink smooths you out with its coconut sweetness and then gives you a kick with the pop of cayenne. Bravo!

    Best coffee shop in Wilmington! I was hesitant to leave a review because I don't want this place to get too overcrowded ;) Quiet place to sit down and study, or read a book from the attached bookstore. The menu is unlike anything else, there's something for everybody. Their team makes a mean latte and they roast their own beans in house, which by the way are deliciously fresh. I only wish they stayed open longer!

    First time here; love that they do their own roasting and the Kenyan I had today was luscious! Helpful folks there and the attached book shop provides plenty to do other than play with your smarter-than-me phones. Some yummie looking goodies offered as well; all-in-all a really good place that will get more of my business.

    Menu

    Tried this place because the menu looked super unique. Goats Milk Mocha- WOW. Tastes as good as it sounds. Super creamy! I can't wait to come back and try more of these unique drinks. If you are looking for a change of pace from your boring old "caramel latte" this is the place!!!

    Epic coffee shop/bookstore! Fantastic coffee that is all roasted onsite. Wonderful baristas and owner. Love the homemade chocolate for the Mochas!!

    Their almond butter clove latte is pretty good, but I keep coming back to their Honey Cardamom latte, but with goat milk.

This place was a solid 5 star but the customer service experience took 2 stars away. We were loyal to them for over a decade. We have given them over $5000 of our business... but no more! Our last order, We ordered 40lb of coffee that was worth over $500, and unfortunately one of the 5 lb bags was busted open with beans spilling all over the box and on our porched because whoever packed the (8) 5lb bags (40 lb box) DID NOT reinforced that bags so that it was 1. tightly packed and 2. double taped the box. The bags were literally tossed in a oversized box sent via UPS to California. When we called and emailed them photos of the damaged bag and the beans spilled all over the box (the 1st and only time we have ever complained), they gave us a hard time and nickeled and dimed us over 1 broken bag of beans. They made us send back the beans (at our expense) until we put our foot down. In the end, they refunded us the 1 broken bag and made us send back the broken bag of beans at their expense. Granted they have one of the best priced and best single origin coffee beans in the country, but we will take our business elsewhere.

    We had a very pleasant experience at this local coffeehouse. The exterior of this coffee house is…read morereminiscent of a beach bungalow house or a local beach restaurant in St Augustine Florida. Yet, the ambience inside has a cozy and inviting home presence with a comfortable leather couch, festive home decor & furniture, and friendly staff. Jesalyn, our server, was very amicable, calm, professional, and recommended the Winter Wonderland seasonal coffee with chocolate & hazelnut flavors. We both ordered it and spent about two hours there. Service was efficient yet peaceful even when there was a flow of traffic after we were served. Time flew fast there and yet the environment always maintained a sense of serenity despite the flow of people coming in the coffeehouse. There are different vendors with many items to select for purchase from art to accessories. The colorful bags with the smiley faces promoting mental health awareness caught my eye at one of the vendor areas there. I love that the coffeehouse is veteran owned, decorated for Christmas, and has an eclectic mix of handmade items and local art pieces. This is definitely a local business & coffeehouse to visit again in the future.

    What a pleasant surprise! Love this place!…read more As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by friends and family with smiles. This coffee shop is definitely a home away from home kind of feel. From leather sofas, cute table sets, meeting rooms, and Christmas decor, you get a real sense of peace and comfort. The seasonal coffee with chocolate undertones was a delight and was what I needed from such a long drive. We spent over two hours here taking photos and seeing family. The staff here are welcoming and so generous. The business supports Veterans and offers military discounts! Can't wait to meet Eric, the owner someday to thank him for his service and as a fire fighter. True American hero. Jesalyn, served us our coffee and assisted with all sorts of keto friendly options such as sugar free flavored syrups. Delicious! I suggested to have old Christmas favorites playing on the television such as Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life, the. I would have asked for a job and never left. The business supports local venders and community by selling a variety of favorites such as cute smiley face hand bags, jam, mugs, art work, photos, cards, and other gifts. Suggest stopping in for a coffee or setting up your workspace and sitting for a while.

We ordered a cappuccino, a latte, a zucchini muffin, and a cheese biscuit. The bill came to $29, including a $5 tip. The cappuccino was tiny and tasted like lukewarm burnt dirt with a faint Starbucks aftertaste (I hate Starbucks). My wife said the latte was merely okay. The zucchini muffin and cheese biscuit were both terrible--almost certainly baked sometime last week. Even after we warmed them in the microwave, one bite was enough. Dry, stale, and with a flavor that's hard to describe without being unkind. The music was so loud at 7 a.m. on a holiday Monday that you had to shout at the baristas to be heard. And that "beautiful" outdoor area? Every seat and table was wet. Nothing had been wiped down. Hard to believe this place sits at 4.9 stars. I'm doing them a favor by giving them two. Just another mediocre Wilmington spot that's easy to skip next time.
