This unique place called Pomegranate Books and Zola cafe is a hidden gem in Wilmington that I discovered shortly after moving to Wilmington about 5 years ago. Zola Cafe roasts their coffees in house and the specialty coffee drinks and teas are creative and full of flavor!
I attended a book signing last night with author, Andrew Lawler, who wrote the book, "The Secret Token" about the myths, obsessions, and the search for the 'Lost Colony of Roanoke.'
