Scout Cafe — Restaurant in Wilmington

I’m honestly surprised by other’s high reviews and I want to experience what everyone else is! My husband and I so wanted to like Scout cafe but we have been disappointed each time we have tried. We went for the first time on their opening day and got a cappuccino, hot tea, sandwich and salad with chicken. My husband’s drink and sandwich were “eh” and my salad was not good. I can’t remember exactly what we paid for the salad but it was quite expensive for a small box of limp lettuce and chicken that seemed like it was frozen and microwaved. It was actually pretty gross. We left and gave the benefit of the doubt that opening days are hard and there are sometimes kinks that need to be worked out. We gave it some time and returned a couple weeks ago. My husband tried a cappuccino again and I tried a Golden Milk Latte. To be straight forward, the cap wasn’t good and the Golden Milk latte tasted like steamed milk with a few taps of cinnamon. It definitely was not a true golden milk latte. At the end of the day it was just $10 wasted so it doesn’t really matter all that much but other coffee lover friends of ours have also been disappointed in Scouts quality and expertise when it comes to properly made drinks like cappuccinos, matcha lattes and more. Unfortunately I don’t think we will be back, just not worth it when there are other options around that we enjoy. To end at least on a positive note, I applaud Scout on their kind service and their pleasant and unique atmosphere. They have those two things...

I have wanted to go to Scout Cafe ever since they opened. I’m not sure what took me so long. But it won’t take me so long to go back!

This little place is so incredibly charming. The atmosphere is so carefully curated. I would have loved to have stayed and enjoyed my breakfast while reading my book, but I chose to arrive after First Saturday Mass… prime Saturday breakfast/brunch time. The cafe was absolutely packed, both inside and out. We’re in the middle of a very hot summer, so I decided to take my order to go. But I can’t wait to go back another time to be able to stay and enjoy my time there.

The employees are absolutely fantastic. They are so friendly and kind. Each one called me by name once I ordered. The sweet employee who took my order gave me a really meaningful compliment without even realizing it would be meaningful to me. I was very touched.

I ordered the iced caramel latte with almond milk and strawberry toast. Both were so lovingly prepared. They take their time to make each item with care, and it shows. Both my latte and toast were absolutely delicious.

I would highly recommend Scout Cafe. I can’t...

Scout Café is an absolute treasure—thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and effortlessly cool. From the moment you step in, you can feel the intention behind every detail. The interior is stylish yet inviting, with a laid-back atmosphere that makes it just as perfect for catching up with a friend as it is for a solo coffee-and-laptop session.

The menu is refreshingly creative, full of fresh, vibrant flavors that go far beyond your standard café fare. Whether it’s a perfectly balanced toast, a seasonal salad, or one of their signature breakfast sandwiches, everything is plated with care and absolutely delicious. And the coffee? Smooth, rich, and consistently well-crafted—clearly a team that knows their beans.

But it’s more than just the food and coffee—Scout has soul. The staff is warm, genuine, and always on point. You can tell this is a place that values community and experience just as much as quality. It’s one of those rare spots that feels both elevated and accessible, where every visit feels like a treat.

Scout Café is one of the best in the region—an inspiring space that...
