Best coffee shops in Wilmington

Our guide to specialty coffee in Wilmington: 5 verified shops, including Bean by Bardea, Bernie's Espresso and Brandywine Coffee Roasters. Wilmington's specialty scene is small but real, anchored by a couple of in-house roasters and a handful of cafes pouring carefully sourced beans. Most of it clusters along Market Street and out toward the riverfront and Trolley Square.
