Crema's Take

“Calico Coffee Bar has earned serious loyalty from Wilmington regulars who rave about their thoughtfully crafted seasonal drinks—like a perfectly balanced Beach House Latte—and their genuine, caring staff that makes every visit feel personal. Using quality Maven beans and experimenting with creative cold foam variations, they've built a welcoming neighborhood spot that feels equally at home for a quick espresso or a lingering sit with pastries. It's the kind of place where people drive across town for their caffeine fix and keep coming back for the warmth as much as the coffee.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

The beach house latte was SO good - perfect mix of espresso flavor and syrup. Not overly sweet, just right, and you can tell they use Maven beans because it has a great taste. The wait was out the door so it took about 30 minutes to get two coffees.

Absolutely love this little coffee shop. They have so many great regular drinks and their special/seasonal menu is always on point. Cold foam in every flavor you can think. I've loved the Cookie Butter Latte and the Anne Boney 😋

I love Calico! I try a different drink every time and they’re all delicious. Great bakery items to choose from. I find excuses to drive to that side of town so I can get my caffeine fix.
