Port City Java

Port City Java isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a Wilmington staple. Born right here on the coast in 1995, PCJ has spent the last 30 years caffeinating locals, college students, and visitors with house-roasted coffee, laid-back vibes, and a serious commitment to community.

Port City Java is as local as it gets, with shops scattered all across the Cape Fear region and beyond. It’s a hub for students, surfers, small business owners, and anyone looking for a friendly face and a solid cup of joe.
