It's Coffee Time
5032 Wrightsville Ave, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“This charming neighborhood gem tucked into a Wilmington strip mall punches well above its weight with homemade pastries, a thoughtfully curated menu spanning traditional espresso drinks to matcha lattes, and genuinely warm service that keeps customers coming back. The space itself is a delightful surprise—decorated with local art and designed for lingering, whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or just soaking in the hometown diner coziness that reviewers can't stop raving about. It's the kind of place that sneaks up on you but immediately feels like a local favorite worth making part of your routine.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
