Bitty & Beau's Coffee

First time here as we are visiting, so I wasn't sure what to order coffee wise. Matt was very helpful with suggestions. I ordered the maple cappuccino and it was delicious.

I absolutely love Bitty & Beau’s Café—it’s so much more than just great coffee (though yes, the coffee is excellent). The service is genuinely heartwarming, and the mission behind the café is what really sets it apart: they proudly employ individuals with disabilities and autism, creating a space that’s full of purpose, pride, and joy. There’s also a charming gift shop that’s totally worth browsing. If you’re ever in Wilmington, North Carolina—or near one of their other locations across the country—do yourself a favor and stop by. It’s the kind of place that fills your cup in more ways than one.

Bitty & Beau’s is such an amazing coffee shop. The atmosphere is very nice and there is multiple places to get cozy and do work or just hangout. I got the iced pumpkin spiced latte and it was so good and they left cute little messages on the cup as well. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the visit feel personal and meaningful. The prices were clearly posted and they had lot of merchandise for sale and even canned coffee that you can buy. What makes this place truly special though is the cause you are supporting. I highly recommend going to Bitty & Beau’s if you want to go to a great coffee shop.

Bitty & Beau’s Coffee is more than just a coffee shop—it’s an uplifting experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a joyful, inclusive atmosphere. The prices are affordable, which makes supporting their meaningful mission even better. If you’re looking for great coffee with heart, this spot is a must-visit.

Today we stopped in on our way to the beach , I have been promising my wife we would. And I’m so glad we did the 4 people working has the best attitudes, the atmosphere is unmatched. Your paying for the atmosphere so if you don’t want to spend a little extra and have good company while drinking your coffee then don’t. Some of the review on here are a little bit harsh about prices. To me, it was the same as Starbucks prices soooo. I personally would love to come back . Every beach trip this will be our spot. My 4 year old loved the people working there, she talked their ears off and they attempted to talk to my 2 year old son but he’s a little shy , so they kept talking with my 4 year old. She told us “I love this coffee place”

Was in the area wanting coffee and found this place, though I’d never heard of it. I got a holiday blend - highly recommend! Rest of my crew enjoyed frappes - again, highly recommend! Love the vibe. Clean restroom. Not your fast-paced option, but it touched my heart to learn about their business model, hiring philosophy, and the fact that this national company launched right here in Wilmington in 2016. Will be back!!

Great service and coffee. Slightly hard to find since the entrance is to the car dealer, just enter by B&B’s sign. Love the purpose to employee and train people with disabilities

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a joyful, inclusive atmosphere. The prices are affordable, which makes supporting their meaningful mission even better. If you’re looking for great coffee with heart, this spot is a must-visit.

Such a cool place. We were kindly greeted by the front counter staff. They offered their recommendations and helped us in a quick manner. They do not take cash so make sure to bring your debit card with you. Also check out their story on their website as well. We just ordered something simple from their coffee menu but I do believe they had specialty drinks for the season. The inside was very nice and they had a ton of products you could purchase from stickers to t-shirts.

My wife and I are visiting from out of town and this place was high on our list of things to do since we have heard so many wonderful stories about the establishment and its mission. The experience was even better than we expected. During our first visit, we were waited on by Matt who could not have been more pleasant and helpful as he patiently waited for our group to make up their minds. After we were seated, he came over to check on us and provide recommendations for other local sites and places to visit. The coffee and pastries were excellent and reasonably priced. My wife and I loved our multiple visits here during our visit. Highly recommend!!

I was so excited to try out some new drinks and food today! I decided to go for the white chocolate mocha and the tea of the day, which was a hibiscus punch tea, along with a chicken and waffle sweet. Let me tell you, everything was absolutely scrumptious! The coffee was perfectly brewed, not too sweet at all. The hibiscus punch tea just needed a little bit of natural cane sugar syrup to make it even better. And as for the chicken and waffle, I have no idea if it was homemade, but it was seriously tasty! This coffee shop really blew my mind of how beautiful it looks inside. Had a very welcoming feel to it and the customer service was outstanding

One of my favorite places to stop in Wilmington! The whole idea is that people that are perceived as different are extremely capable and can hold jobs. The shop is cute with lots of merchandise and a few cozy little spots to sit. They have changed the inside since I was there last; making it a little smaller but still cute. My iced coffee was good with the added flavoring. The cashier was fantastic. There was a group of employees that were having fun, singing songs and enjoying each other's company.

I had never heard of Bitty & Beau's Coffee, but nearly perfect ratings made it my choice of local coffee spot to try out in Wilmington. The vibe is very industrial located adjacent to car shops and I'm pretty this place occupies space that either sold or worked on cars in the past. They have a banner boasting that they're the official coffee of The Rachael Ray Show and were selling quite a bit of merchandise from tumblers to shirts and hats. We went with a large coffee and large mocha, but were served one drink in a 12 oz cup even though both were supposed to be 16 oz. I'm thinking the cashier wasn't listening properly while I was ordering (they don't provide printed receipts, so not sure what I was charged for). Both drinks were fine, but pretty average for a coffee shop. For the Starbucks-like prices they charge, I was expecting much better, but turned out to be a pretty unmemorable experience. Perhaps I caught them on an off day given the other reviews. Given the prices and lackluster quality, I wouldn't recommend Bitty & Beau's Coffee to others, as there's much better options in Wilmington.

The coffee was DELICIOUS! Coffee is life and this place nailed it oddly located in Wilmington but sooo worth it and the staff was so kind and sweet!

Great service, coffee, and mission. Modern cool repurposed space. Building is located in Cadillac dealership parking lot, we sipped our lattes as we walked around to check out cars for sale.

Wow! I've been driving by this gem for a couple of years and finally stopped! Glad I did! From the service by Matt who also took the time to share his expertise about the different coffee roasts, to the smiles and greetings as I enjoyed my bagel and Americano... great coffee, great service, great atmosphere. And awesome mission! Thank you.

I've been in NC for 3 weeks now and decided to explore what Wilmington has to offer! I stumbled across Bitty & Beau's while trying to find a coffee shop to study at and it did not disappoint! They greet every customer with a warm welcome and friendly smile! While I was there for a few hours, they made sure to come up to me and check up on how I was doing. The coffee and bagel were phenomenal! I'm very particular with my coffee and it exceeded my expectations. They even write a little note on your cup, which absolutely made my day. The atmosphere is wonderful, the decor really fits the industrial vibes inside! It made my studying experience so much better! An added bonus: the mission behind the shop is one that is extremely positive and so much more worth going to. It warms my heart to know that every individual deserves a chance to be independent and to be empowered by doing so. I would 1000% recommend coming here for good coffee/food and the positive vibes!

The workers who are taking care of you and in charge of you are not good employees and they get rid of people who do a good job for no good reason.

What a great spot !! We had a very friendly greeting and they left me a special message on my cup !! I had a delicious Chai latte with a shot of espresso and it was perfect it's a very open space with lots of room to come with friends !!

We have heard about this place but wanted to try Wilmington one as it was the first location. We finally visited this weekend and enjoyed their drinks! A cute place. Will be back for more drinks!

Amazing people and service atmosphere welcoming. Got cookies and cream frappe tasted great.

The most perfect business. This place is an absolute game changer and it's definitely more than a cup of coffee. The coffee's good, but the vibe is incredible. You'll never have so much fun ordering and drinking the coffee. There are dance parties and directors of entertainment and VPs of customer greetings and it's just fun. The whole staff is so happy to be there and so engaging. I won't try to tell the whole story (google it!). I'll just say it's 100% worth the visit. It'll tug at those heart strings It can be a bit tough to find the driveway. Follow the gps and pull into the car dealership. When you've pulled in go left and it's in a big building at the end of the driveway (old hummer dealer).

I love it here! Not only is the mission and idea behind it amazing but the employees always out a smile on my face! Not to mention the coffee is amazing. Matt is such a bright light and happy soul! It's the perfect place to work or meet up with a friend.

We absolutely love everything about this coffee shop, mainly because of the mission and the story behind it. They sell merchandise so I had to support. I got a shirt that says "radically inclusive" and "not broken". The coffee shop is spacious, inviting, and beautifully set up. My partner got an Americano and really enjoyed it. Everyone should definitely check it out.

Bitty & Beau's Coffee is a must-stop for the Wilmington area! We never miss it on our annual trip to the beach. It's conveniently located close to many shops like Costco if you need extra fuel for your shopping trip. The drinks here are amazing - coffee and non! I especially love their chai tea latte. This summer they're featuring a frozen lemonade that is as refreshing as it sounds! Don't forget a bag of coffee beans to brew at home! And it goes without saying that the service at Bitty & Beau's is exceptional! You are always greeted with a friendly "hello" when you enter, and the employees are so helpful at making sure you get a perfect and delicious drink. Make sure to check out their merch, too!!

Greaaaaaat coffee and the service was amazing it was my first time going and i definitely wasn't disappointed

We made a special trip for this coffee shop because we've heard great things about this mission-driven business. With that in mind, this was a great spot regardless of the mission. The coffee selection was spot on and our bagels really did the trick. Adding on fantastic service and providing opportunity for folks who might not otherwise find it quite as easily was just the cherry on top. The only "con" about this place was the location. Since we were in town for a long weekend, it was a little off the beaten trail and hard to find with some construction going on around it. While the space was beautiful, it was tricky to find. Perhaps this is a more convenient spot for locals than tourists, however!

Stopped by Bitty & Beau's for a coffee while visiting the area. Never heard of this place before, but it was right next to my hotel and what a wonderful place to find! The folks that worked there were all genuine and kind, and they radiated so much positivity. I hope they know they all brightened my day today. When it comes to the coffee, it was incredibly delicious! Very smooth espresso. I got the iced caramel latte with oat milk, and it was the perfect amount of everything. What a wonderful place; I wish I lived closer. Thank you to everyone at Bitty & Beau's for the most pleasant experience I've ever had at a coffee shop!

I came here twice while in town for work. I got the same thing both times, a cold brew, which had richness and depth of flavor. It was very good and strong! I had excellent service both times. I dig what these folks are doing here. Cool spot, cool vibe. I'l be back next time I'm in town.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that this place is helping and teaching / even allowing those who have special needs to be able to get a job and learn some real world skills they can take anywhere!

THE nicest people ever at a coffee shop and delicious drinks to top it off. At my first visit, they made me feel like I was part of their family. What better way to start or end your day?! A perfect atmosphere for remote work as well.

I am on a hunt to try all the various coffee spots in Wilmington and since I had not been to Bitty and Beau's I decided to check them out on a lovely Sunday. This company has such a beautiful story and mission. On their website Bitty's says they advocate for the value, acceptance, and inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the Wrights have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place for their children and others living with disabilities. The inside of the shop is very clean and organized and wide open. Once I walked up to the counter I was greeted by a very nice cashier and ordered my coffee. You get a playing card that acts as your number that is called once your coffee/drink is ready. On one of their signs they say they use the same coffee as the Rachel Ray show, and this is where I dock some stars. I did not like my latte at all and sadly ended up throwing much of it out. It was almost grainy in taste, and a large was more like a medium. With that being said, I do still love the message behind this company and the wonderful customer service, just not so much their lattes.

Great coffee, cool setting, awesome experience. Highly recommend visiting Bitty & Beau's if you're ever in Wilmington. Order a coffee, sit at the bar and enjoy a conversation with the awesome staff.

What a find! Great customer service from all the special employees. Such a blessing. Frappe, hot tea and gluten free choc chip cookies were delicious. You're missing something if you haven't been yet! Hope they franchise near us soon

I was greeted upon arrival. Service was awesome, staff very knowledgeable of the available items. Inviting ambiance. I ordered the strawberry banana smoothie which was really good along with a double chocolate and lemon cranberry muffin, both food items were nice and warm and very tasty.

Love visiting Bitty & Beau's! The staff is so friendly and coffee is great. Would recommend visiting!

The staff was so nice and made wonderful conversation! It did take a little longer to get the drinks and my iced caramel latte was less sweet than other establishments, but overall a very good! A truly wonderful experience.

Amazing people and great coffee And I love the environment I would recommend to anyone visiting Wilmington

Love the heart of this place! Americano was on point, a bit mild but great taste. Service excellent.

Bitty & Beau's will always be a five star coffee shop in my eyes. I live in Charleston, where I visit that shop frequently, so when I was in Wilmington, I couldn't pass up a chance to visit the hometown location. The interior is beautiful. Plenty of seating. Friendly atmosphere. Our order was taken quickly and we relaxed while it was being prepared. My wife also bought a candle that was made by a mother / daughter team locally. Our chai latte's came out tasting as good as I knew they would. Loved every minute of being here. Can't wait to come back and support them again in the future.

Very large and cute coffee shop a little ways off the main road. Location is weird as it's next to a dealership, but easy to find! We ordered iced vanilla lattes which were good, but not great. We've definitely had better coffee and weren't too impressed with this. The design of their coffee shop is very cute, as well as their merch.

Obviously it is a wonderful mission to provide a workplace where people of all abilities can be employed. I support many organizations with this aim. In the case of a coffee shop, it would also be desirable if this could happen alongside of delivering a reasonable product. While the employee made sure to prepare orders quickly and accurately, the espresso is not made from a classic espresso machine--which, is often the primary reason espresso drinkers go to a coffee shop and pay $5 for a cup like I did. Beverages are made from an Keurig-type machine on which orders are entered on a touch screen interface. It is similar to machines that sit in the lobbies of car dealerships. There are some coffee grinders--so it's possible that beans are ground fresh and are then poured into the Keurig (I am not sure). I ordered a small iced espresso with a splash of whole milk. They do not have whole milk. My drink was made in an extra large plastic cup and served full to the brim. What I ordered would only result in about 3 ounces of liquid. Aside from this, speaking only for the beverage I paid for, unfortunately it was not drinkable. I was excited to go to Bitty and Beau's because the reviews on Yelp were fantastic. I realize now that the reviews often focus on the atmosphere and mission of the coffee shop. Again, such a mission deserves all of the stars in the world. I didn't order any food (if they have it)--perhaps those items are great. There is a lot of available seating. I also saw some cool merchandise. I loved a golden cuff bracelet that read with the message "#not broken". I don't usually associate coffee shops as a place to go to get cool jewelry and shirts but if there is someone who does, then that could also be a draw for someone wanting to visit this establishment. One last tip: speaking of car dealerships, your GPS will tell you that the coffee shop is in the surrounding car dealerships. The shop is situated in a car dealership park, coincidentally enough. I had to drive around the block a couple of times to realize that you need to actually pull into the Cadillac et. al., dealership parking lot in order to find the shop. Parking is pretty accessible.

You've probably seen Bitty and Beau's on news stories and we are so lucky to have this gem right here in Wilmington. Warm, friendly environment and just makes you feel good to support such a great business. Coffee is on point and there's light snacks too. Love the map of all the visitors who have pinned their location. Whether you're local or visiting, worth a trip. It can be tricky to find but go through the car dealership and tucked away in the corner you will find it.

This coffee shop gives SBucks a run for their money! Fast, clean and friendly. Took home an inspirational "not broken" mug.

First off, it took around 10 minutes just for a cup of water and a rice krispy treat. I paid $7 for it.. just for it to be packaged. Then my friend, with Down syndrome, starts choking. Everyone was staring, no workers came to help, also no workers with Down syndrome- which is what I thought the whole brand was. Overall not a good experience- unimpressed, will never be returning.

I like the spaciousness of the atmosphere, & the hospitality of the people who serve.

I loved everything about my first experience here!! I walked in and instantly felt the love in the atmosphere. Best coffee I have had in a long time and the best customer service!!

kind and friendly staff! the drinks are great, we got a chai tea, matcha with oat milk, and a mocha- all of which had a short and sweet little note on the side of the cup :)

Amazing every time! My second time coming in and what a special place. If I could come every week I would. Highlight of my day stopping in. Jake crushed his first day at register and the young lady helping with drinks was so king and did an amazing job. 5 stars!

By far one of my favorite coffee shops in Wilmington. I love the look of it on the outside as well as the inside. Inside they have plenty of seating and even spaces for private meetings or somewhere where you need to study. They offer a lot of merchandise which is a great gift for someone or yourself. You can always purchase there variety or coffee and coffee beans. I always get a baked good and hot vanilla latte every time I go and I am never disappointed! Prices are good and staff is super friendly and inviting. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants good coffee and a great place to hangout!

This place is amazing! Came in for some coffee to power through the day. Left with that (& a really great quality cup of joe btw), & so much joy from the entire team. Thank you!!

This is the cutest local chain coffee shop there ever was! I am in love with a good coffee, but a good coffee with a mission behind it? Sign. Me. Up. Not only is the vibe exactly what I want in a coffee shop, it's got good coffee. Bonus! This one is a little hard to find because you look like you're going to go and buy a Cadillac at first then you realize the coffee shop is next door. Once you figure out you don't need to purchase a car you can breathe easy and get your heart pumping on caffeine. This space is so clean, bright, and white. I want to sit on my computer and work all day in there. The employees are the nicest and so upbeat. I ordered a chocolate muffin and a brown sugar cinnamon iced latte with almond milk (no soy). The coffee was good - too sweet for my taste but the name sounds sweet so I get what I asked for. I am interested in buying some coffee beans once I'm ready for more and can't wait to brew it in the pour over!

I just love this place. I love that the employees are special needs .. I fell in love with miss Elizabeth.. the employees are genuine and caring and sweet.. they have coffee and pAstries and shirts and stuff to buy! Anytime I come to town I'm making a pit stop here to support these wonderful people and what they are about

Love Bitty and Beaus! This is the perfect place to go if you want coffee AND focus. Many coffee shops in wilmington blare the music so loud to fit the hippy vibe...which ruins the traditional vibe of a coffee shop. Bitty and Beaus is great. I wish their drinks were sweeter and more flavorful because I find no matter what I order it just tastes like watery milk, but I do love the work environment.

Store is tucked next to a car dealership but easy to find. The inside is very open and clean. Staff was inviting as soon as we walked in. Our barista let us know they now have pumpkin spice! So we both had pumpkin spice iced coffees- very good! We also had muffins- chocolate and blueberry. Highly recommend the muffins, they were very soft and delicious. They have some fun gifts- mugs, shirts, etc. The whole atmosphere was very inviting and I love the whole mission. Highly recommend checking it out!

I absolutely adore this place! I've been in Wilmington making a movie and have come here so many times for meetings and just to work. Their coffee and tea is great, but what really is special is their service. The people here are so sweet and kind. They also an extremely inclusive establishment, and even have some merchandise that says Radically Inclusive and Not Broken. Nitty & Beau's hires across all spectrums and each time I've been there they have special needs employees. I love this place and wish I could ship it back to the West Coast with me.

Staff is all very friendly and welcoming! This place has SO MUCH seating, which makes for a great study or work space. I got the Java chip frap and it was great!
