Java Dog

I love this place! I go here every week. The employees are awesome. I don’t drink coffee much, so I always get tea. Their tea selection is huge and they always have really nice brands of tea too.

The employees are really friendly. It’s not far from the community college either. Also they have an abundance of syrups to put into your coffee. I have never had anything bad there. Also I love how they are dog friendly there. I just love this place.

I came to Wilmington a few weeks ago, and we were curious to find a good little coffee shop — this wasn’t too bad, offered a few different types of morning beverages, I got a mocha iced coffee. But there food was very limited.

Stopped in for a cappuccino and they were super busy. No worries because I prefer to frequent a mom and pop shop. I had a cappuccino and it was good. Take a look around at the eclectic collectibles. A good flashback for me. Say hi
To Baby Bear!

Very few places let you bring your dog inside and this is one of them. Good coffee, free dog treats so Kudos Java Dog

It’s a cute little coffee shop with good coffee and reasonable prices in a great location, what’s not to love?!

Not to be confused with Port City Java (such a small town, so much JAVAHHHHHH), Java Dog is definitely the go-​to spot in Wilmington for your morning and afternoon pick-​me ups, whether that be in the form of, well, java, or furry friends.
While I was admittedly disappointed by the lack of canine-​centric puns, I was not disappointed by the actual dog to human ratio, which was near equally balanced. I was also not disappointed by the homemade pastries (or generally anything in the baked goods case) and I was pleased to see that while there weren’t dog-​friendly drinks (duh) there were dog treats for four-​legged patrons.
And while the coffee was a bit too frill-​focused for my liking (think: butter pecan lattes, salted caramel frappes), the space was cute as and the service was even sweeter than the smiling pups. I’d certainly pop by again (often) if the commute weren’t so ruff. #caninecentricpunsforthewin

Good coffee in hip atmosphere. The carrot muffin was delicious too. Exposed brick walls and local artwork add a cozy touch.

Don’t come in the mornings because the owner is behind the counter and he is a total DICK. At least the other employers are nice! Otherwise, this place would go under in a heartbeat.

How cute! I really wish we had more cafes in Raleigh where dogs could come inside! I appreciate the ample patio-​space in this city but when I walk alone I can only go inside and grab a coffee if I can find someone I trust to hold onto my pup!
Java dog gets rid of that problem by letting dogs into the café! I’m not sure how they are allowed to (they must not make any of their food in house?) but I loved being able to stroll in and grab a coffee with my sister! I ordered the coconut chai latte and it was very good! Very coconut-​y and came out nice and hot. My sister’s gingerbread latte was very good as well! The girl at the front was helpful and full of good suggestions! The only thing we didn’t get to try was the food, but since it probably wasn’t baked in house I wasn’t really interested. No problem though, the coffee was good enough to stand on it’s own!
Next time i’m in town i’ll definitely be back! Great coffee and dog friendly! What could be better?

You get to bring your dog in so it’s already better than most places. A very chill atmosphere to grab a drink and sit for a second before trekking of to walk the dogs more. Their Pumpkin lattes in the fall are much better than the other two big coffee shops in town.

Great place and peace of mind for good coffee. Wonderful selection without being too overwhelming looking at the coffee board. Pet friendly!!!

Convenient location, good prices, friendly staff and an excellent cup of coffee. Plus I understand you can bring your dog! Much more charm than Starbucks!

Look — it’s really not technically a 5 star, but because they let you bring your dog in with you — I bumped it up a star!
The place was clean, staff were great, pricing was reasonable and they let you bring your dog in with you. Though I didn’t have mine — I think any store that allows you to enter with your dog is a great place!

Can’t be beat for local ambience and dog-​friendliness! Love the lattes. Food (only a few things offered: scones, muffins, etc) is not the greatest but has been improving. Relaxed, funky, friendly!

In the coffee house category, this is top of class. Mediterranean wrap was delicious!
Lattes are great too

Great place. Have Fiji water and sparkling ice water. Fresh fruit was great. Quiet little place for a quick bite for kids and relax. We grabbed a couple of TShirts and snapped a picture with the statue or liberty. We will stop by again !!!

Excellent coffee and chai, love the shop and street view… a must stop if you drop buy the cotton exchange

This is a very nice coffee shop in Downtown Wilmington with a great window looking out to the street.
They had four sizes of coffee cups, which was nice. I ordered a small black coffee. All the available blends were dark roast, unfortunately. I got a Costa Rican blend. It was not very good; fairly weak, no aroma and poor tasting. oh well.
I still liked this place and would go back for the nice ambiance and quality service, but I would hope they’d work on having some medium or lightly roasted options and trying some new beans or roasters.

The Coffee is simply horrible. No matter if it is latte or iced. Just bitter flat dismal.
Baked goods look surprisingly similar to what is on offer at Costco or SAMs club.
Only gets two stars
1 for the cute little stickers on the take out cups
2 they like dogs. Really.
Really should get only one star.
