Im not normally a frappe drinker but the frappes at Java dog are TO DIE FOR!! Their iced lattes are really good too. Love coming here and sitting upstairs to get some work done.
Great coffee and the workers were fantastic. Inside the coffee house has a fun unique vibe. I will definitely be back for more!
An iconic coffee shop right in the heart of Wilmington. I love grabbing a cup of joe before walking around downtown. They have iced and hot coffee and just about every variation you can think of. I love they have different flavors of the day for you to enjoy. The prices are great and the service is always super friendly and welcoming. There is space inside, in the cotton exchange and outside to sit at.
Fun inviting atmosphere. My dogs and I were very relaxed here. The service was great, didnt even have to wait long for my custom order. 10/10
Amazing sweet tea! This little shop has a very cozy coffee shop feel, lots of neat decor and is so fast and efficient. Great way to start your exploration of The Cotton Exchange. Leave a tip!
Truly the best coffee in town. Superb taste, I drink decaf, so this is sometimes hard to find. I like a nice, strong, rich coffee and this is it. Nice service too and a friendly environment as well. Cool spot to go and sit and people watch. All good. I drive 7 miles to go there, past probably 8-10 other coffee spots. Worth it! I like an iced Americano, and its the best. They even made me a pumpkin cream to put in it, (this winter )when I asked if they could, and it was excellent!
Always a wonderful place to have a wonderful cup of coffee & a yummy treat. I still recall years ago when we were invited in by the owners & their beautiful Lab, I believe her name was Mable. Actually she is the one that barked at us from across the street as to call us over, well from that day we have felt at home! Our beloved Cannon has passed on but will always treasure fond memories with him at our favorite place when we visit Wilmington. Thank you!
We felt welcome, enjoyed the coffee, and will come back again.
BEST COFFEE EVER! If you are in Wilmington and love good coffee. YOU MUST GO!
This place was our only daily stop during our first trip to Wilmington. It’s in a historic building and has an upstairs which looks great for studying. Most of the seats downstairs are by the window and the prices are very affordable. The baristas are helpful and friendly. Also, I think it’s just this town but dogs are allowed everywhere.
Great place to grab a coffee and relax. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Coffee is great and they have many original options for flavors. They also have great smoothies and shakes. Best of all they are dog friendly!!!
I live the iced frappuccino mocha at the Java Dog Coffee House. Its amazing. I drove all the way to Wilmington to get it!
Great coffee! Left with two bags back in May and I wish we would’ve grabbed more!
Good coffee friendly staff fun place to take dogs out to.
Very dog friendly; you can bring your pet inside. Great service and quirky/quaint atmosphere.
Best espresso in town, well made with friendly service.
The coffee was great and inexpensive.
I enjoy a job a dog quite a bit. The people in the ambience is really nice and playful. There are toys everywhere. Not for kids to play with but mostly from the past. Like being in a toy museum. The upstairs and downstairs is a nice touch. The outdoor seating is really cool.
Nice staff. Good coffee.
One of the best coffee spots on Front Street
Really really good coffee
This is as its name implies a dog lover coffee house, feline beware. I tried the mocha latte, real!
Excellent to go and have a good coffee from some countries, and espresso and chocolate, I recommend it to relax for a good time with friends and family
The owner is amazing! The coffee is delicious! My mom brings it home to Texas every year and I’ve almost run out! About to order more!
Ok. . Dont go out your way.
Great hours for us early birds, has a nice selection of coffee and you can get an extra large big dog size coffee if you are serious about your caffeine like I am. Nicely decorated, lots of comfy seating, you can grab your coffee and sit out at the benches that line the sidewalk or sit inside with your brew and a muffin or bagel. Quick walk from the hotels and a great cuppa Joe
My wife and I just recently moved to Wilmington and were out walking our two pups in downtown today and stopped in at Java Dog to have coffee. We were greeted outside by the owner, he welcomed all of us in and asked us how we were doing and our pups names. We found inside a nostalgic, relaxing coffee shop. The staff were amazing and made us feel very welcomed. The chi latte and chocolate mocha we had was the best we had tasted in town. We also tried the pound cake and it was delicious. We had a great time relaxing inside and talking with everyone .Do yourself a favor and give this great place a try, you will be very satisfied.
Poor customer service and business practices
Super AWESOME place!!! Its so rare that you find places that are so welcoming of doggos! Bonus! The coffee and italian sodas are delicious!
This place was so good
A great place to take a break when sightseeing or taking a walk in downtown Wilmington. They have great coffee and snack foods. We make point to go there whenever we are in Wilmington. It is also pet friendly and a favorite with the locals. I would recommend this place.
Excellent coffee and very friendly people, they are open right now from 7:00 to 3:00 during the covid. The mounds bar coffee was pretty good and I got an apple fritter
Excellent location, great atmosphere, tasty coffee. I appreciated that they had simple syrup and agave sweeteners out, makes for a better selection and easier to sweeten cold drinks. Lots of nice coffees for sale by the bag.
Parking is not abundant in this area, but it was a lazy Sunday morning so I found a place right away. Given that, it was a very easy in and out at Java Dog this morning. I am told by my coffee partner that they have the best iced mocha lattes in town. I prefer coffee myself, and theirs is not bad. Not perfect, but very hearty and without the acidity that plagues some coffee brands. I also got the best apple fritter Ive had in a long while.The setting is nice, with lots of places to sit and second level area. Its dog friendly, people friendly, and the location is quaint. If youre a visitor to town youll like that it opens on to the Cotton Exchange, an indoors cobblestone village of shops and other interesting things. Grab a coffee and walk around! Its fun!
Had the BEST Mocha frap here this morning! Plenty of dairy alternatives and my dogs were greeted and loved on like they were family! Super excited to make this a regular stop on our walks.
Asiago bagel was great
A local tradition. Really good hot dogs of varied styles/meats (even a hamburger hot dog - yes made of ground beef) and toppings galore.Friendly, fast, helpful staff -- they dont stare harshly while you decide between all the choices, but instead wait patiently. And - Reasonably priced.
A great place! Delicious hot chocolate and coffee. Staff are very welcoming to people and doggies.
Ice coffee!! Nuff said!!
One of my favorite places to come after or in-between classes! I started coming here fairly regularly since the beginning of last semester for coffees and a quiet place to do homework, and the environment is great. The staff members are all very kind, its a cozy an fun place with its knick-knacks and brick painting. I love getting to eat and work on the second level balcony-like space, and its of course animal friendly. All my coffees, hot cocoas, and seasonal drinks have been amazing, and the muffins are delicious. All around great place and great service.
Found this precious place on accident while visiting. Loved the coffee, ambiance and all the dogs!! The baristas were so sweet and helpful. This will definitely be a stop for us every time we go to Wilmington.
Extremely soft and creamy mocha frappe that was smooth and did not melt quickly. Ordered it skim then added THE most amazing whipped cream EVER! Highly recommend. Bari Stas were friendly and helpful!
Fast and friendly, but most importantly, dog friendly. Dogs encouraged as a matter of fact. They have treats readily available for them. The human treats are very good too, bagels, muffins, tarts, etc.
Quality caffeination in the perfect location to observe the middle-class, over-consuming Preppy Nation. The fifth star is for how awesome the employees are every time I venture into this peculiar territory of the elusive white southern American living beyond their means and catering to a slow plastic melt, not only in trash piles... but in the hollow of the collective partial self awareness in this sun-filled dysfunctional habitat.Fascinating creatures, really. *sips on third cup of iced coffee, looking out pristine glass storefront*
Great downtown atmosphere and location. People and well-behaved dogs welcomed! Coffee and service is excellent!
The biggest perk is I can bring my dog in when I am downtown. Their coffee is awesome. I love the overall atmosphere of the place. Also the staff is very courteous.
Favorite coffee spot in Wilmington! Great customer service & pup friendly!
Very quick service. Nothing in terms of view cannot see water. Good priced selection friendly staff. Has okay snacks. Not a good place to sit and read more just a quick pit stop. Never a line. Also not many chairs.
All I can say is yummy!
Love this place! The atmosphere is fun and casual, and the mocha lattes are out of this world. Fast and courteous service. Plus, seeing a furry friend or two makes this place extra special. 🐕
I love this place. I just went there for the first time this morning. The staff is funny, kind, and fast-working. The coffee is delicious. I will definitely be back again.
I loved coming here when I was at school at CFCC. The owner and staff are amazing and super sweet. Everything from a plan cup of coffee to lattes to other specialty drinks are great. My dogs also love it. Whenever they would see Paul, they would get so excited! Its a very nice mix of people and dogs! I only wish we had one in Texas now that I am living there!
Awesome coffee and pastry stop. Very friendly place, staff and customers alike. Cute atmosphere. Lots of locals were there
Coffee and drinks are pretty good. Smoothies I wouldn’t recommend. Weird hours too! But overall a good space to hang out in, and there’s always puppies walking in and out of the place, so it lived up to its name.
My favorite coffee shop in town! Paul and the girls are incredibly friendly. My four legged kid loves our Sunday morning visits.
Always get coffee there. Quick and easy. Nice people, and see some wilmington people walking by. Enjoy dont miss a cup.
Java dog has the best coffee in Wilmington. The staff are good friends that Ive had the pleasure of getting to know over the years. If you love dogs or have a dog this is the place to go. My dog loves it.
This place is always great. There is plenty of seating, they even have lofted seating. Seeing all the puppies is great. They have exciting specials. For Valentines Day they had a list of specials and I got a lavender and coconut latte. It was delicious and they had special carboard hand protectors and even a sticker that was Valentines Day themed. The staff is always sweet and efficient. Prcies are good. Non-dairy options are available.
Loved the coffee of this place. Great way to start your day
Love this place. Staff loves dogs that drop in. Therefore you see a selection of dogs whenever you are there. Like the stickers they put on the coffee cup sipping hole. I do have a loyalty card that I get stamped.
This coffee house has a really neat location. It has both street access and is nestled in the corner of the Cotton Exchange. The decor is eye catching and I loved the upstairs seating area.
Very friendly and amazing coffie. I also love there home made eggs and sausage breakfast burrito.
The employees here are beyond friendly and for me the coffee has always been fresh and very delicious, never over roasted or old tasting
Dog friendly inside and outside. Cute coffee shop with decent drinks. I tried an iced dirty chai latte with almond milk which was delicious! Nice, small coffee shop downtown.
Awesome place! My wife and I used to frequent Java Dog back when we were dating in 2006. We now bring our two boys with us everytime when we come back to visit Wilmington. Best coffee ever and super friendly staff.
Good coffee with a decent selection. The prices are good. They decor is interesting. The barista we had was rude, but the drinks were good so we will be returning.
Awesome place, nice to be able to take out dogs inside when the weather isnt so great. Staff was polite and made our drinks correctly.There is some room for improvement when it comes to flavor though, I had the chai and it was just bland. Coffee is great though.
Good coffee. Just a break from wife browsing shops in Cotton Exchange.
I always get an Italian Soda and let my dog socialize, this place is really a MUST GO if you want somewhere fun to take your pup while you are downtown.Coffee is great too!
Good Java, they took good care of the doggo. Nice people.
Great coffee at a good price and the only dog friendly coffee shop in downtown Wilmington.
This is my favorite coffeeshop in Wilmington because you dont leave smelling like a coffeeshop. The blueberry tea is SO good! Also love the breakfast biscuits! Its nice that there is a lot of sitting room. The service is quick and the staff is friendly.
Great coffee and great smoothies. Enjoyed bringing my kids here for a quick caffination.
I love this place. Awesome coffee and baked goods!
Great place! Friendly staff, good food and aromatic coffee that starts filling your soul before the cup! Dog friendly for friendly dogs.
Fun place, nice folks. Cold brew coffee is great.
Very cute place with quick service and good coffee. nice to grab a warm drink and sit for a few minutes while in wilmington
Stood at the counter for several minutes today while the employee talked on the phone to what sounded like the owner or manager, ran a register total for sales, took inventory of baked goods, etc., she never acknowledged us or let person on phone know she had a customer. We finally walked out. Cant totally blame counter help, owner/mgr had no business calling in the middle of the day worrying about how much shes making...she lost at least a $10 sale on us. No, we are not clueless, we ran a restaurant for many years and we know customer service
Dog friendly and super friendly service. They toast their own coffee and usually have some tasty pastry. My daughter had her first coffee here!
A great little coffee shop in downtown Wilmington! Its always a great place to stop when in the area.
Everyone knows your name and you are always treated like family. I love this place. Beats going to therapy. 😁
Nice laid back vibe and good coffee. We loved all the dogs that stopped by with their people.
You know its good coffee when you can smell it from outside the shop. We couldnt resist and we definitely werent disappointed! We will be back the next time we are in Wilmingtom
They allow well-behaved dogs, this was a godsend while walking my greyhound in the heat and they even gave her water and a cup of whipped cream.
Best place to get a good cheap cup of coffee and see some cute dogs!
I come here every morning for great coffee on my way to work and I bring my dogs here every weekend and they love it! The staff is amazing and remembers my order.
Worst coffee I have had in quite a while. I visit local coffee shops whenever I can. I always order a cafe latte. This is the only one that I have actually thrown away. My daughter can drink almost any coffee and she didnt like it either. Wasted $3.
This is my other favorite coffee shop. Blondie loves Java Dog, and it is awesome. The coffee is great.
Great place Ive been bringing my kids for years. Love sitting and playing chess with them and just catching up.
