The Ibis Bar
921 Princess St, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“This beautifully designed Wilmington gem transforms seamlessly from a serene morning coffee destination into an evening cocktail lounge, with a moody aesthetic and gorgeous murals that feel like stepping into an upscale urban retreat. The espresso-focused menu shines alongside creative signature drinks, paired with knowledgeable staff who genuinely love educating customers and a carefully curated light food menu that complements both coffee and cocktails. It's the rare spot where you can settle in with your laptop for hours in the morning or return for a sophisticated evening out—all in a space that manages to be chic, chill, and genuinely welcoming.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Open late.
