The Village Roost

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Friday. Friendly service and my food arrived quickly. I had a veggie burger and a hot tea. The veggie burger was homemade - not a frozen mass produced patty - and the roll was soft and fresh. The sandwich was delicious and I regret not trying the fries! Lots of seating indoors and several tables outside. Bathroom was clean and there is a fun shopping area between where you order and the indoor seating.

What an excellent find! One morning on our recent trip to Wilmington, on our quest for the morning coffee fix, I stumbled upon this quirky little cafe. And am I glad that I did! Tried their coffee (cappuccino, house blend with maple shot) blueberry muffin and almond biscotti and that was a perfect start to our morning! So unforgettable that we came back the next day for lunch and ordered from their sandwiches: Shazza #2, Happy Hen, Vietnamese beef roll with an order of Cajun fries. True to our expectations, the food was excellent and we have nothing but praises for the place. Thank you for making our otherwise short and uneventful trip remarkable!! :D

What a surprise to find such a great place in a small rural town! They have a good offer of sandwiches from local organic ingredients as well as a decent coffee. I really loved their cheeseburger and all three varieties of fries! Additionally, if you are in the area and need to work remotely, they have plenty of space to sit, power outlets, and a reliable wifi. They’re open until 5pm. However, after 4pm they start cleaning already and make it obvious that one should leave well before official closing time.

This place is lovely. The food is so good, all homemade! The coffee is one of the best in town, always fresh and served right. They have a little retail store inside with cool things you can get, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoying a homemade treat and a cup of coffee on a beautiful summer morning outside on the porch is all the experience you need!

Coffee is okay, and atmosphere & staff are great and friendly. The only issue is that i always come here wanting breakfast food, but always end up disappointed. I keep trying out different things on the breakfast menu cause perhaps I just got a bad one, but each time i’m unsatisfied. I’ve only gotten breakfast food, so maybe other items are better, but the breakfast sandwiches are really just tasteless and dry, with the bagels and potato rolls they put them on being pretty bad all around. In my experience, it’s really not hard to make a good tasting breakfast or egg sandwich, so not sure what this place is doing there… have had friends say the same thing about the food.

They are pretty slow with the orders, but everything taste good. I think we waited 10-15 minutes and there was only a few people in front of us. We also got different coffee and hot chocolate drinks and they all were awesome! Location is perfect. Very clean. The back of the cafe is very stylish unique. Definitely recommend for breakfast or hot drinks...
