This coffee is excellent. Non acidic, smooth, flavorful. Manager Boone said you can place an order by 10am on Wednesday and it will be ready the next day. And they roast the beans in town. What a gem!

This is a great cafe to sit and work on my website. Unfortunately, the internet is so slow that opening a single webpage takes forever and kind of ruins the experience. It's open from 7a-7p on most days, hardly anyone in here which is great but I'm also concerned that they might not be open for too long because it's not generating enough cash flow. I live in the neighborhood and I'd love to be a regular, but I'm hesitant because of the wifi. I hope y'all invest in a better network!

I love this Port City Java on Market Street in Wilmington. The staff are always so friendly and knowledgeable on drinks. They are willing to help you with any of the menu items if you have trouble. It is a great place to do work or study and the place is always clean. The food is delicious and the coffee is always great! Super fast service and always on point. I always leave a tip because the staff here treat me so well.

Staff is always knowledgeable and polite. Always gives me EXACTLY what I ask for. Grace, Victoria, and Olivia know me and my dog the second I skrrrrrr in. I've tried to manipulate my drink and they were quick to be helpful with tips. Good eye contact and always happy to be there, Everytime. Best bean juice in town. 10/10

Nice place, seating inside and out. Good coffee: I had two shots of espresso plus a little water. The flavor was strong, but not that overpowering brew my daughter makes. I did manage to spill it all over the counter....

Their coffee and coffee drinks are far superior to Starbucks. The service is always fast and friendly. There is a coupon in attraction book for the sandwiches. I tried the turkey sausage with cheese and an egg sandwich, highly recommend.

The best PCJ in town, hands down, and one of the best coffee shops in town, period. The staff is so nice. They know me, my order, my girlfriend, and our dogs. They occasionally give me free coffee which is just the cherry on top. Convenient location if you live between Forest Hills and downtown. Reasonable prices compared to starbucks. Seriously love this location! Update: have to mention that the renovated inside looks amazing! Still the best PCJ in town.

Always love this place!!! I make sure I stop in for my coffee. Unfortunately, I was going to buy bags of coffee to take back to Winston Salem as Christmas gifts. I didn't see them, and staff seemed not the normal friendly I'm used to. I just got my coffee and moved on.
