Wilmington's Favorite Cafe, Open Every Day

Fresh coffee, cozy vibes, and a welcoming crew on North 4th Street since day one.

About Us

There's a reason Brooklyn Cafe holds a 4.9-star rating across more than 400 reviews: people keep coming back. Planted at 706 N 4th St in Wilmington's historic north side, this all-day cafe pulls in regulars who know exactly what they want, and first-timers who have no idea what they're in for until that first sip.

The space itself earns as many compliments as the menu. Guests describe it as the kind of place where you settle in with a laptop and look up two hours later, or where a catch-up with a friend turns into the best part of the week. The staff has a reputation for making everyone feel like they belong here, not just tolerated between the morning rush and lunch hour.

Open seven days a week from 7:30 AM, Brooklyn Cafe is built around the rhythm of real life in Wilmington. Whether the day calls for something bold and caffeinated or something light and sweet, this corner of North 4th delivers it with genuine care.

What We Offer

Brooklyn Cafe serves an all-day menu of coffee and cafe drinks crafted for every taste, from straightforward drip to specialty tea-based drinks that guests rave about long after the cup is empty. The food menu is equally thoughtful, with options that accommodate a range of dietary needs without making anyone feel like an afterthought.

Baked goods and pastries are a serious draw here. Guests travel specifically for the cafe's donuts, and the beignets have their own loyal following. Everything pairs naturally with the drink menu in a way that feels intentional rather than accidental.

Friday and Saturday hours extend to 6:00 PM, giving the evening crowd a destination that most cafes in the area simply don't offer. Whether you're starting your morning, powering through an afternoon, or winding down a long week, Brooklyn Cafe has a seat and something good waiting for you.

"Came back to Wilmington for the second year and finally got to try these vegan donuts definitely worth the wait. We ordered three vanilla and one lemon, and wow… they were incredible. Made fresh to order, so they come out hot and perfectly soft. I tried the vegan beignets last year and loved those too. If you’re in the area, don’t just take my word for it go try them yourself."

"This is one of my favorite places!! The coffee and food is great. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I originally found this place because they had vegan donuts that my dairy allergic family member could have. Bonus: almost every time my dog gets a little donut hole as a treat so she loves it too!"

"Cozy spot. Great for doing work or hanging out with a friend. The beignets are very good and so are their donuts. The iced London fog tea WAS AMAZING. The cafe and where it's located gave me a Redhook Brooklyn feel for sure. I'd definitely recommend this spot, you won't regret it"

"The food and the staff here are incredible. As well as the drinks! I find myself here more often than I care to admit because their donuts are just too good to ignore! I've also had their beignets and they are as good as advertised. The interior is small but does offer a fair amount of seeding plus they have outdoor seating."

"We stopped here twice in one day because it was that good. The banana ball was so good and my daughter LOVED their beignets. Their frappe was the best she has ever had. The dirty hippie was my favorite drink. We had to grab one of their donuts as literally just staring at them is mouth watering. The staff is so friendly and welcoming we love the vibe of the entire place. This place is a must if you are in Wilmington and it's vegan friendly. Hands down best customer service and coffee"
