One of the best coffee shops I've been to! The coffee is great, and they even work with farmers in Colombia to get the best beans to roast. The barista I spoke with was super friendly, and was happy to explain everything about the coffee. I will definitely be back!

This isn’t just coffee—it’s an experience. We were walked through the entire process of the making of our drinks, from where the ingredients originated to the actual routine of preparing an excellent coffee beverage. So much time and passion were dedicated to our drinks, and I could taste it in the finished product. I highly recommend Maven Coffee to anyone who appreciates the artistry that goes into crafting a delicious cup of coffee.

How do I put into words how much I loved going here? Practically impossible but I'm willing to give it a shot. I just went there for the first time about five minutes ago, but I wanted to leave a review now because everything about the experience was next level. They don't view coffee as "just coffee" they view it as an art form and it shows. The ingredients are all top quality and sourced with such thoughtfulness, and that care truly shines through with their coffee. You could tell that the gentleman who helped us and made our drinks truly loved and was passionate about what he did. He genuinely wanted us to have a good experience here and we absolutely did! I wholeheartedly recommend Maven Coffee and hold this business and the people who work there in the highest regard.

These folks serve coffee of the highest level. There isn’t any better, anywhere. For pure coffee aficionados/loonies, welcome home. Note: this isn’t a breakfast joint with pastries, etc. It’s more like a wine shop for coffee. Top notch, world-class.

Best coffee ever! The owner is extremely educated about coffee and I always learn something new. He pays impeccable attention to detail, which is evident in every cup and truly makes for a luxury tasting experience. You can’t go wrong with any of their lattes or pour overs.

Kudos to Maven Coffee. I got the red velvet latte and it was good but I feel like it’s just that. Just good. I think the artistry that goes into it is fantastic, but I believe they are selling an experience and aesthetic rather than coffee. They are making a wine tasting environment for coffee. Which, admittedly isn’t bad. It’s just not what I look for. I very much look for a communal, sit down and chat coffee shop. I think for a quick on the go cup it’s fine, but don’t think it’s a sit down place. It’s an every once and a whole place not everyday pick me up cup of Joe. Overall good, but not my taste.

Great coffee, unfortunately had to dock some stars because I was told by the girl working there they were open 8 30-4 on a Friday and I go there at 2 pm and they were closed. Pretty frustrating because my wife was eager to try a latte they had and only had her lunch break to try it and was risking being late getting back. Oh well I guess

Amazing coffee and even better staff. I am so glad that my husband and I came across Maven. This is seriously the best coffee I have ever had, from their specialty lattes (tiramisu is amazing), a cup of plain black pour over, the staff are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about the coffee they are creating and truly make it an art. They are so friendly and kind (Ashley is the best! And so is the owner, both super nice people.) Definitely check them out.

I just went to Maven for the first time with my boyfriend and I had the best experience. I am very picky about coffee and I also don’t know a lot about what I like so that makes me an indecisive customer! But, Ashley, the barista took her time to explain the process of what goes into each drink, help me choose what fit my palate, and was EXTREMELY kind, patient and knowledgeable when helping me choose my drink. She even took the extra time to remake me a shot when the first one she did was not as good as it could be for the drink I ordered. She took the time and put in the effort to make a quality drink, it is easy to see that she has a passion for service and coffee. I wouldn’t even call her a “barista” she is far beyond that. Almost like a coffee “mixologist”. Thank you Ashley for the wonderful experience. I will definitely be back.

I rarely leave 5-star reviews - but Maven Coffee is absolutely deserving of such a review. I just went with a standard latte and it would have shined in a coffee mecca like Seattle - let alone in Wilmington, North Carolina. Praises to Nicholas who performed a bitter-less and nutty extraction!

Really exceptional coffee. I've never encountered anyone more passionate about truly excellent coffee than the very hands-on owner. Even black, their coffee is remarkably good (apparently coffee isn't supposed to taste burnt??), and I don't even like black coffee. More my speed, their coffee drinks are revelatorily phenomenal. Wilmington has several nice cafes and small batch roasters, but Maven makes the best coffee and hosts the best coffee experience of any town I've ever been in.

I am originally from Maryland but always make time for Maven when I visit. The campfire latte was a Michelin star experience! Worth every dollar for the passion put in every cup!
