“My first time at this location. I enjoyed the atmosphere and design here. I was seated and placed my order quickly however, the server didn't return during the meal to offer beverage refill or to check on things. When I requested the check and water to go she promptly placed the check on the table but it was awhile to receive the water to go.My meal was delicious.“

I highly recommend the grit bowls which have a non-traditional texture for grits, but they both taste amazing. And for drinks, they make killer matcha, never too sweet with the perfect balance.Pictures: banana bread, vegan grit bowl + egg, iced vanilla matcha“

Staff wad amazing and educated on celiac disease. First restaurant I've been too that asked if I wanted the grill cleaned and gloves changed. The atmosphere was great as well. The eggs Benedict were so good. We stopped again on our way home and they remembered us which wad great!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu and they will clean space and change gloves if you ask.“

“Walked into a nice chilled atmosphere with couches, high top bistros, tables and chairs, and benches... there was a nice cowboy picking on a guitar playing live music... I was immediately greeted. I did feel a bit overwhelmed when I looked up at the menu, so I just ordered my fav chi tea latte with oat milk. It was very good. Service was fast and price was comparable. I browsed the store next door, and it has some super cute bohemian style stuff!! The staff are very friendly! I was very comfortable sitting there next to the live music and reading my book! I will definitely be back!“

“Fast, friendly and thorough service. Food was ready very quickly, however, personally the shrimp and grits were not the best that I've had. The scallion and bell pepper taste was overpowering as they were still almost raw as I would have preferred them to be sauteed with the shrimp. Great selection of drinks that were extremely colorful and refreshing. Restaurant size is small compared to the amount of customers that are packed in which makes the atmosphere a little noisier than I would have desired.“

“What a beautiful and thoughtfully laid out wine shop/ tasting spot. Ambiance is perfect ... staff was friendly helpful and just so sweet. Wines were amazing and selection is even better. The knowledge of wines and champagnes was great as my friend just got married and was looking for a gift to suit her palate vs just grabbing a random bottle. We can't wait to go back.“

There was a large party of lovely ladies speaking French, a smattering of children visiting with their mothers, and a few other visitors such as ourselves enjoying the lovely fall Wilmington weather and the lunch fare available. You really must go if you are in the Wilmington area. It is a wonderful experience for young and old alike.“

This was the only healthy option for a muffin as many people who can't have dessert muffins or sugar muffins no longer have any option now. Thank you for considering.“

“I come here often because it's close, but they're always pretty fast about their service, no matter if you go inside or the drive thru. It has a stronger coffee taste than other coffee shops and I like that. Food portions are a little on the small size and aren't always the highest quality. Normally get a something simple and build off it so I can make it the way I like it. Would recommend and am going back.“

“FAB-U-LUS! Both locations in this area owned by same couple & the quality + service in both locations is so far above the norm!HEALTHY & absolutely DELISH shakes (no after-taste!). The image of the board (2 pics) is SOME of the shake flavors!!! Then we tried the energy tea's & holy shirt balls they're fantastic! Shakes are 200 calories, 10g sugar & 24g protien (give-or-take a few cals/grams depending on added extras, extras don't add cals or sugar I don't think tho).I recall hearing about Herbalife years ago & never got into it, but I'm a new addict! Starbucks will be missing my daily $7ish cuz this is my new spot! Note: no food here cuz the shakes ARE a meal (it's actually 2 meals for me, breakfast & lunch!) and the energy teas are better than any s-bucks drink (MINUS the sugars & ADD the healthy stuff!!). All staff is SO great, patient & they'll walk you thru the order process & answer all questions!Staff & owners here really go the extra mile & shakes are seriously delicious. Fantastic healthy meal replacement or energy-teas.If you're a small-meal person like me, I recommend splitting a shake to halve the cost. But I've also frozen the 2nd half (or refrigerated) & drank it later on.Previous review 2-yrs ago:After AM CrossFit - this is a MUST STOP for recovery!!!!! Mega Teas are an awesome boost for a long work day!A few favs: s'mores, raspberry cheesecake, salted caramel latte, marshmallow, key lime (shakes) & teas....shark bite, hawaii 5.0, bahama mama.“
