Really cool environment, with great specialty coffees, juices, kombucha, smoothies, and beers. They also have small snack foods like bagels and some muffins. I had a mango strawberry smoothie blend it with lemonade which was wonderful and the best London fog I probably have ever had in my life. Definitely worth checking out, even if its just for a quick to go coffee.
Dog friendly and wonderful cold brew. There nitro doesnt feel very carbonated, but its extremely tasty.
Thank you Lucky Joe Coffee Shop for helping to make our 2021 NAMI Walk a success! Nick and his staff were amazing and we appreciate your all your support and of course we love your coffee!
I love Lucky Joe!! I normally get a regular cold brew, but there are so many menu options for drinks that I could get something new every time I visit if I wanted. My favorite latte is the Hopeless Romantic (white chocolate + raspberry flavor) and its great whether you prefer hot or iced. Definitely recommend, especially if youre a dog person :)
I’ve been coming to Lucky Joe’s for a few years now and they never fail to disappoint. Great drinks and great staff make this cafe a can’t-miss stop in Wilmington, whether you’re a local or a tourist passing through. Can’t wait for them to bring back music nights and open mics 🥰
#1 It is dog friendly!#2 it is human friendly!#3 College students come here to study, socialize or to work on class assignments.#4 Tuesday night is Comedy night.Of course a given; cold brewed coffee is great, selection is large, and staff are helpful and friendly.- 1* bagels and cookies are your only food choices.
Simply the best.Thats it.Thats the whole story.The best shop, staffed by the best people, with the best beverages, the best patrons, and most importantly THE BEST DOGS. Goodness, so many fantastic pups. 13/10 for all of them.Its a phenomenal spot, so much so that Im reluctant to even share my compliments, as I want to keep it all to myself.NOTE: Weird dudes, please do not show up and be weird. Or like, attempt to curb your creepier instincts. That is all.
#1 Daughter said the coffee was really good but failed to tell me they had a great draft beer selection until we were too far down the road. Maybe next time..
Amazing coffee shop with a really good cold brew. Great place to being your dog too!
I absolutely love this place! Owner Nick is a great guy and some of the best coffee in Wilmington.
Great place for coffee- they cold-brew it which means it has no bitter flavor (try it black before sweetening it!). They also have a wide selection of beer, but manage to still have that coffeeshop feel, making it a great place to study.If youre drinking on a budget, check it the $2 beer cooler and $3 pints Thursday.
Top top coffee shop - best dirty chai in town - best nitro too - great ppl work here - cool atmosphere - love everything about this place
Cute place with nice staff and delicious, well-priced coffee drinks!
Amazing coffee! Great staff! Its an amazing place to go and get your favorite cup of coffee. Oh and they have nitro too! 😲☺️
If you like warmed cold brew, this is your place. We were seeking hot, freshly brewed coffee. The atmosphere was good.
Amazing staff and amazing atmosphere. Their cold brew coffee is by far the best in town. Dog friendly as well which is a huge plus for college students!
Simply the best. Wonderful ambience created by the loveable people who work there. And, you know, dogs. Theyre dog friendly. 13/10
My favorite coffee shop in town! Great prices, great products, and really nice staff. Only downside is if youre allergic to dogs because they almost always have one or more in there. (I love dogs so its a bonus for me)
Cute dog right when we walked in, super laid back and smoothie was delicious!
Ahhh, coffee.That sweet, robust aroma that tickles your nostrils in the morning. It teases you from drowsy blankets and beckons you to a sun-dappled table. The roar of the grinder jerks the mind from unconsciousness, yes, but it is in many ways gentler than, perchance, icy water against one’s skin.Before long, a steaming cup is cradled in your hands as you sit down, breathe in, and crack open your laptop for the day
Amazing friendly service. One of a kind humans in here. Theyre all super knowledgeable and sweet. The coffee is delicious too!
Great atmosphere for a cup of coffee and conversations with friends. Pet friendly, yay!!
I have been going to Lucky Joe for a few years now. I absolutely love the service, and have never had a bad experience. Everyone is incredibly friendly! I have had great conversations with the employees and with other people getting coffee. The coffee is, without a doubt, the best coffee I have ever had. The environment is great too. I love the music, decorations, people, and the very friendly pups that others bring in. The best coffee in the country, very friendly, dog friendly, and a great environment. Lucky Joe Coffee is always a go to for me no other place has impressed me as much, and I would highly recommend Lucky Joe to anyone!
Love coming here to to homework or just relax! The staff is always so kind & the frappes are my absolute favorite!
Best place to get coffee on the way to the beach.
Lucky Joes is an incredible coffee shop with I credible coffee and service. It is also dog friendly and a nice environment to study or relax!
Awesome little spot to have a good cup of coffee with friends
Not bad. Drinks were pretty sweet. The servers nice though. 😊
Nice place to bring your pups, but the espresso is no good, it is flavorless. Almost no difference between water and a latte... Have you ever had a latte made with regular watered down brewed coffee instead of espresso? That would be the closest description.
They have a wide selection of delicious coffee and coffee based drinks, and their location on South College is not hard to get to. The coffee shop is large enough to accommodate a good-sized group, but small enough to still feel homey. I love that they post the work of local artists on the walls, too, and that the artist for sale. We artists need all the exposure and support that we can get!
Delicious coffee, great service!
Amazing chai and great atmosphere.
Such a wonderful place. The staff is always friendly and constantly going above and beyond to make their customers feel welcome. I love coming here to study because it has such a comforting atmosphere. I just found this place a few months ago and it quickly became my favorite coffee shop in Wilmington! The best place to grab great coffee, study, and pet some dogs! (Also, if you havent yet, definitely try the chai - it is the best Ive had)
Honestly the BEST coffee I have ever had! I always get their cold press heated up. Im usually someone who needs lots of flavored cream to drink coffee, and this stuff barely needs anything it is so tasty. When I lived there, I got this coffee almost every day, and now I make sure to go here every time I visit. We love Lucky Joes!!
Great coffee and its the best deal in town with great bring your own mug discount AND free refills on regular coffee. Their Chai is GOOD! Great staff- only reason why its not 5 stars is because sometimes they dont use the AC or Heat so the temp varies. Most of the time its a non-issue but its annoying.
Great coffee, very chill atmosphere, and dog friendly!
Perfect coffee, full flavor with no bitter aftertaste - enjoy it black! Casual, comfortable gathering place. Friendly staff. Typically pricing. Food options are limited to muffins, protein bars and bananas.
Cold brew coffee on tap is absolutely delicious. Also dogs are welcomed and I love it. Dogs and coffee what more can you ask for on a beautiful morning in Wilmington.
My husband and I just recently discovered this place and we love it! We are new to the area, and I’ve been searching everywhere for a really good chai tea latte. This place, by far, has the best chai teas! I get their regular one, I’ve also tried their lavender one. Both were amazing! I’ve tried lavender and other flavored chais at other places before, and I always thought there was too much flavoring. This place got it just right! They also have another tea I’ve tried, the Butterfly Pea Tea with lemonade added, and it’s amazing! My husband loves their coffee, especially their trifecta and their nitro cold brew. We love to go here and read/study. It’s a relaxing environment and normally not super crowded. They have couches and tables, along with game boards which is nice. They also showcase local artists’ work. We’ve mainly gone during the coronavirus outbreak, so there’s only been the same two people working there (maybe the owners?) and they are super friendly!Editing to add- they do sometimes have dogs in their cafe, but they always have a sign on the door when they do :)
This has the best coffee around. This is a very clean establishment. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. He really took the time to explain the type and process for their coffee. I will be back and will tell more people about this shop.
Very well-rounded coffee shop with great vibes and an equally great location close to the intersection of two major Wilmington roads. It is also the only coffee shop in that part of town that stays open late for us wanting to squeeze out a few more hours of work or homework. Their cold brew coffee, which they steam for me to make hot, has a great bright flavor. Often times there are friends of the baristas there doing work and socializing at the bar, which adds to the atmosphere.
Excellent coffee and friendly service
If you have ever wondered what heaven would taste like, this is your only chance. The coffee is like a velvet glove massaging your tongue. How could this get any better? Their prices are the best in town, what are you waiting for? Go now!
Good coffee!
Love this place. Get coffee here with my roommates here almost every morning. The owner is a super nice guy, always friendly and the coffee is awesome. The dogs are a nice touch too.
Best coffee in town! I recommend trying the chai and any lattes. Convenient to pick up beer or wine as well. The staff here are welcoming and make you feel like you’re among friends. Love the space to sit down and do some work as well. Always have fun events going on.
I love this place for so many reasons! The biggest one is how dog friendly they are. I will take my dog to the park to let her run off some energy and then sit at Lucky Joes and do my homework. It is a very relaxing environment and the staff is always helpful in picking out a drink. Highly recommend!
The coffee was amazing! I got the hopeless romantic and I don’t normally do super sweet coffee so I was worried! It was great! The barista was friendly and very helpful! Their cold brew process intrigued me so I tried their regular cold brew black, it was also great.
Good coffee, great staff
Best coffee in Wilmington and great customer service.
Dog friendly with above average caffeinated drinks. My dogs loved hanging out with other dogs while I got to relax and enjoy a hot beverage.
Enjoyed my first visit. Saw comedy thats what she said. Fun girls night out with lots of laughs. Everyone there was friendly. Im not the biggest beer drinker, but the pumkin ale was delcious.
Great place for studying or catching up on work. They have a wide variety of beers and coffee options. Plus the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! They also do yoga and mimosas on some Saturdays, which I am eager to try out.
Coffee is excellent. Cold brewed which makes it mellow. Good vibe.
Neat aesthetic, and a cozy atmosphere. Coffee is great which is whats important. Also a good place to be productive; and the place is easy to get to.
I love this place. The staff are warm and welcoming and treat you like a friend. There are so many different coffee drinks and beers to choose from, and its a great place to hang out with friends or get some work done.
This place has great coffee. Its brewed differently than most traditional coffee shops in that all of their coffee is cold brewed ahead of time and then made how you want it on ordering. Best coffee Ive had in Wilmington, dare I say best Ive had in NC? The baristas are really polite and courteous. If the coffee sucked the baristas would still make this shop a must visit in Wilmington.
This is the Cheers version of a coffee shop.... what an awesome local spot with incredible coffee and great service! so happy to have this spot on my way to work!
Great place! Wonderful atmosphere and fantastic coffee beverages!
What a great, down to earth craft coffee and craft beer spot! All NC beers on tap, great staff and the coffee in nitro is out of this world. The coffee is small batch, cold brewed in house. Never disappointed in this place!
Really good coffee, nice relaxed area with space to get work done on. Lots of art and has local bands come in every so often.
You can get a coffee when you do the morning school drop off and a beer when you do afternoon pickup. Very dog friendly and there is usually a pack of them in the shop.
Cool place. Met the owners, they are good people. Its a great concept because it mixes two things I love, literally you can mix them, beer and coffee.
The staff is super friendly! Beer selection is awesome. I love the nitro cold brew and the smoothies!! I also love that I can bring my dog!
One of my favorite coffeeshops in Wilmington. Ive worked as a barista and I truly know that they put fine work into their drinks. Also, the ambiance is great for studying or catching up with a friend
Dogs. Everywhere. Everyone likes dogs. Especially barking and jumping all over the place!!Everyone go to Lucky Joe
Staff are friendly and great. Coffee has been pretty bold and flavorful. I have enjoyed each visit more and more.
Great coffee, fast and very friendly. I highly recommend!!!
Very comfy environment, makes the soul feel good, 2 dogs were there and it was the best
The 3 stars is for the mediocre coffee. Otherwise, it has a cool atmosphere/vibe inside.
I am always looking for a good coffee shop. Our service was excellent. Our coffee was ok.
Awesome coffee shop. .Awesome Barista. Ask for Nick.
I walked in the door and was greeted by this SUPER SNUGGLY doggo(I love dogs) and that had me hooked. The barista was very knowledgeable of the menu and guided me towards a drink that satisfies anyone need for something cool, sweet and caffeinated! Very spacious interior with plenty of places to sit and relax! Great place! Definitely stop in if you have a chance!
Best coffee shop in town . Big variety of selections and the service is always impeccable.
Dogs. Everywhere. Not everyone hates dogs especially barking and jumping all over.
They have some good brews
I was glad to find a craft coffee shop along our route home. The barista was super nice and helped me make a choice. She said everything is cold Brew, Id like to know more about what that actually means but I didnt take time to ask. I assume that means their espresso roast is slow brewed cold as well, cuz their latte seemed watered down. It tasted alright though, just not a strong espresso flavor like most lattes would have naturally.I also got the cold Brew black on ice and it wasnt impressive. It tasted like it was sitting in a copper pot all day....Or like the beans were old, but I dont want to say they were cuz I didnt ask about their roast date. Im a stickler for fresh roasted coffee and I think I have a pretty developed palate for coffee.They said they use a private roster from VA.Ill try them again some time to see if it was just an off day for the batch I got.
Best place for coffee and tea in Wilmington. Get the chai latte or iced caramel latte. I go every week!
Sat and waited for service. Waited some more. Four others were seated but I saw NO staff. Finally got up and went to Port City Java where I was greeted as soon as I opened the door.
Excellent selection of craft beers and locally-made pastries. The staff is super helpful and friendly, too!
Friendly staff, comfortable environment, and very inviting. I have tried a few different drinks and everything is fantastic.
Great coffee and customer service!
Cool place, good coffee, good beer, friendly service. My favorite place to get some work done and I can also reward myself with a beer afterwards.
Great vibe, good spot to get a solid cup of coffee and relax.
The best coffee shop on the east coast! If you want great coffee and atmosphere this is the place for you!
Great chill place with beer, wine and good coffee. Great beer selection too.
Great coffee and great service. My favorite place to go!
Dogs. Everywhere. Not everyone likes dogs. Especially barking and jumping all over .
Best coffee shop in town! Grinders has a better interior but taste wise this is the place to go.
Okay selection of beer but a bit pricey. Their coffee was excellent. Maybe worth a second look.
Great way to start the day...
Great experience. Kaitlyn is amazing! Great suggestions and service.
I rarely write bad reviews, but this was one of the worst, tasteless expressos Ive ever had.
I drink a rather unhealthy amount of caffeine. It is my sole addiction. Im not terribly picky about how i get my fix, energy drinks, coffee, 5 hr energy. So whenever I find a shop that fills my need I try it. Ive tried a lot of coffee shops. Im from Chicago and they have a good bit more than the standard Starbucks. This place puts every other coffee shop to shame Ive ever tried. Every other place from mom and pop shops, fine italian places, some very strong and good turkish shops, and all the mainstream places. Try the nitrobrew. Low acidity mild sweetness and absolutely fantastic. I get two minimum every time I go. Major shout out to the Saturday morning barista.
Very friendly environment. I enjoyed my stop here.
Good coffee, Bree is the best bariestia you will ever meet, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
Very good coffee shop. Great latte, nice setup.
Best chai in town. Quiet place to read and write!
