Crema's Take

Maroon Monkey is a cozy espresso-focused spot in downtown Wilmington where specialty flights and creative seasonal drinks like the Fall Festival Latte shine, and the bottomless drip coffee at just $3 keeps regulars coming back. The intimate space—scattered with small tables, a sofa nook, and wicker chairs by the window—feels designed for lingering, whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or bringing your dog along while you sip. With the riverwalk practically at your doorstep and consistently excellent execution across both traditional and inventive drinks, it's the kind of place where the experience matters as much as the coffee itself.

THEY HAVE BOTTOMLESS DRIP FOR $3!! this is such a great shop. you gotta find parking and seats early on the weekends to beat the crowds but otherwise this is a perfect hangout. good hot coffee, great flavors, and the flights are adorable and unique. S-tier coffee spot

We went for the experience and not just a grab and go coffee stop. And a great experience is what it was! Coffee was delicious. We were those people rolling in 4 adults deep, all getting flights, dog and a toddler. Staff was excited (by no means were they excited ,I’m sure ,but they never made us feel like a bother) and still kept the busy Sunday morning rolling for others coming in for their coffee. Recommend 👍

Visiting from out of town and decided to stop here while exploring downtown. I ordered a flight bc there were so many flavors i wanted to try. I love sweet coffee drinks and the 3 lattes i chose were so good! We ordered the banana fosters latte, christmas cookie latte (my favorite!!), and rivercourt smores latte. Love that the shop was also dog friendly!

A very pleasant little cozy cafe. Three small tables for two, a cozy corner with a sofa and armchairs, a pleasant table by the window with swinging wicker chairs, and a table for a group of 5/6 people create a cozy atmosphere. But of course, the most important thing is the coffee. It's delicious, aromatic. It's clearly prepared with love and quite quickly by the hospitable barista. We had hot black latte of wonderful taste, a macha latte, and espresso. Everything was wonderful. It's a pity I didn't try anything from the autumn special assortment. It's a little sad that we couldn't have hot coffee in real, non-disposable clay cups. Perhaps we should have asked for them when ordering. But otherwise, everything was amazing.

Tried to Banana Foster Iced Latte and it wasn’t great to me but it was alright. My fried got the Fall Festival Latte and that was amazing! Riverwalk is right behind the coffee shop and atmosphere was very nice while drinking our lattes. Would return again and can’t wait to try the coffee flights.
