The service and quality here are absolutely exceptional. Barista, Claire, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and excited to share her knowledge with me. It can feel overwhelming to step into specialty coffee shops if you're not very familiar with them, but Maven has a welcoming atmosphere and inviting culture that implore patrons to explore all there is to love about coffee! I had such a lovely experience. I can't remember the name of the latte I got-- I think it may have been dark chocolate cherry truffle-- and it was delicious. Claire was able to execute a beautiful froth with my iced drink despite it being dairy-free. I had a lovely experience at Maven!
Maven Coffee is my go-to when I am looking for great coffee and an exciting coffee experience. Their hand crafted drinks are unique, delicious, and the process is so fun to watch! The newest one I tried was the brown sugar and vanilla cloud, which includes brown sugar boba beans and a vanilla infused cloud on top of the cup! It was beautiful and delicious!
Hands down the best coffee in Wilmington! The owner is passionate not only about serving high quality espresso, but also building community. The specialty drinks are unique and well crafted. The staff is exceptionally kind and always willing to educate customers. I love the cherry truffle latte or just a simple cortado. Definitely check it out!
Honestly the best coffee I’ve ever had, even my daughter liked it and she’s a matcha girl. I had the campfire, my aunt had the purple lady, and my daughter had the rose cloud matcha. Service was awesome with the barista being very knowledgeable and super helpful. Best place we could’ve gone for my birthday coffee!
Wow. I have been to over a hundred coffee shops… this is hands down my favorite. The recipes are unique and a taste like I’ve never had. The baristas are sweet, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I will drive out of my way to come here. They roast and their blends are fantastic. Can’t wait to come again and order more!
