Java Dog Coffee House

This has been one of my favorite coffee houses for a long time. Located in the Cotton Exchange building on Front street. The coffee and the service is excellent. The blended Frappuccinos are so good it is like a delicious dessert in a cup. Lol. Their Frappuccinos are my favorite as of now 10/12/23. Most recently I got an Iced sugar free vanilla Latte and it was also excellent but not my favorite in Wilmington. They also sell some local pastries, coffee beans and merch. There is a LOT of coffee house competition in downtown and all through out Wilmington. This is one of the best and has been here before a lot of the new comers. If you are visiting the area this is a must try. Grab a coffee and check out the other shops in the Cotton Exchange. If you live in the area and you have not tried the Java Dog you are slippin.

This coffee shop is in a great location in Wilmington. Not too far from Cape Fear Community College and it’s located within the Cotton Exchange. The service here is quick and their coffee beverages are great.

My husband and I recently stopped in the Java Dog while shopping at the Cotton Exchange. We had sugar-free Caramel Vanilla Lattes. Mine was made with sugar-free almond or soy milk, I can't remember which one, but so delicious. I am not sure if it was an owner or employee who took our drink order, but they were very friendly and offered several sugar-free options. The window seats gave us a nice view and were quiet enough to have a conversation. We definitely will return.

I enjoy a job a dog quite a bit. The people in the ambience is really nice and playful. There are toys everywhere. Not for kids to play with but mostly from the past. Like being in a toy museum. The upstairs and downstairs is a nice touch. The outdoor seating is really cool.

Fun coffee shop, nice to have places that are pet friendly. Very close to all the cool shops and an American icon, the USS North Carolina, keeping us well defended. Great coffee, fun staff.

Stopped in to grab a caffeinated brew and loved the service and the mocha latte (better the Starbucks even). Nice greeting, very helpful, and the chocolate muffin is decadently delicious!

Cool spot and even cooler because you can bring your pup in. Bruno loved the pup cup treat. The hot chocolate was great.

Delicious coffee and pastries, and you can buy whole bean or ground coffee to take home. Dog friendly. I stop in every time I'm downtown.

Absolutely adore this little coffee shop! The pricing was great for items (A Bourbon latte and bagel with cheddar horseradish cream cheese was around $8). The atmosphere is relaxed with various seating options inside and out. I love that you can bring your pup in to grab some coffee, and they also get a doggie treat too! The employees were also kind and helpful and were able to get orders out quickly! Definitely a go to spot!

Cafe where your dog is more than welcome AND the java is awesome? Yes, please! Love a local coffee shop.

Good coffee. Dog friendly inside! Very cool little place. Our dogs loved it too.

An iconic coffee shop right in the heart of Wilmington. I love grabbing a cup of joe before walking around downtown. They have iced and hot coffee and just about every variation you can think of. I love they have different flavors of the day for you to enjoy. The prices are great and the service is always super friendly and welcoming. There is space inside, in the cotton exchange and outside to sit at.

Fantastic service and great coffee. Cold brew was excellent and had a slice of pound cake which took me back to childhood. Large selection of syrups for your custom coffee concoction.

What a great place! Great coffee at a great price! Friendly owner & staff. Dog friendly.

Great coffee stop downtown near shopping and the river.

The little stickers to keep you from spilling are a nice touch!

This place was our only daily stop during our first trip to Wilmington. It’s in a historic building and has an upstairs which looks great for studying. Most of the seats downstairs are by the window and the prices are very affordable. The baristas are helpful and friendly. Also, I think it’s just this town but dogs are allowed everywhere.

These guys are great! I had just adopted Savannah, a rescue doggie, and they gave her treats. They let her sit inside with me while I worked. Super friendly staff and Savannah gives them two very enthusiastic paws up.

We love this place, coffee is great and our pups loves everyone.

My go to coffee shop when I’m downtown. The staff is always amazing and friendly. They have a special coffee of the day that varies by day and is typically appropriate for the season. My favorite ones are during the fall, but they are great selections year round. The best part is the little sticker with which they cover the hole in the lid. I definitely recommend going here for coffee, tea, espresso drinks, or a baked treat.

I had a salted caramel ice blended drink that was very tasty. Atmosphere was a nice coffee shop vibe. I'd definitely come back for another drink.
