Found Bean Head coffee bar with a random search and extremely happy with their coffee selection. Atmosphere was super nice with jazz playing, games and books available. Samantha was awesome and sold us a couple of their smoke infused coffees that she created and were delicious. Well done.

If you're looking for a local coffee shop in Wilmington this one is a solid 10/10. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere hits you with cozy vibes, making it the perfect place to relax or get some work done. The owners are very personable, and genuinely care about making a great cup of coffee, The drinks? Outstanding. I tried the “White Chocolate Strawberry Latte” 10/10, Samantha, and Aaron have such beautiful spirits, and a beautiful couple, I will definitely be back!

Dope little coffee shop tucked into a nice part of the city. Got an iced coffee with coffee ice, it tasted great! Flavorful and strong enough to get me going. They have milk and dairy free alternatives. The barista was really helpful and made the experience great. The music and atmosphere are a vibe. This is a great coffee shop. Will be stopping in again.

It's such a cute little shop. I ordered a smoked hazelnut iced latte and blueberry muffin, both of which were perfect! I was skeptical of how well the smokiness would hold in the latte, but I could taste it through the end, and it paired very well with the hazelnut. The blueberry muffin was served warm and had a lovely crunch to the external portion of it, but it was soft and sweet on the inside. The owner was so kind and great to chat with. I will definitely be coming back!

If you’re looking for a coffee spot that’s equal parts chill and creative, The Bean Head absolutely delivers. The vibe inside is minimalist but warm — the kind of place where you instantly feel like you can slow down and actually enjoy your coffee instead of just grabbing it and rushing out. The menu is full of unique options, and all the syrups are homemade, which you can definitely taste. We tried a smoked coffee drink that was out of this world — rich, smooth, and with that perfect smoky twist that made it feel like an experience, not just a drink. Samantha, the owner, couldn’t have been more welcoming. She was laid-back, super friendly, and you could tell she really cares about creating a space people want to return to. And honestly? I can’t wait to go back. The Bean Head is a hidden gem that’s worth making a regular stop.

Best smoked hazelnut Coffee in wilmington. I don't usually drink coffee but stopped for the wife. I ended up regretting not ordering my own. Our daughter couldn't pass up on what they called a "cute coffee holder bag."

Very cute local coffee shop! My husband & I were in town for the weekend and wanted to find a cute, independent coffee shop to try out & this place really fit the bill! The shop itself is spacious and very cutely decorated & the coffee was great! The specialty lattes were very creative and tasty— we particularly loved the coquito & the smoked hazelnut was so unique and the presentation added extra flair.
