Kava Haus

I had a work trip to be at a site in Cincinnati on Sunday evening and on Monday I squeezed in a visit with my sister that lives near Wilmington before I headed back to South Carolina. She suggested this coffee place and I see why. I got a Salted Caramel Latte and I must say it was so delicious. I also grabbed a sandwich. I saw it said 3 little piggies, didn’t really read it but I assumed it would be 3 little sandwiches with one each of ham bacon and sausage. Glasses were in my pocket so I just didn’t read the fine print and was pleasantly surprised. I got this awesome sandwich with 2 eggs, ham bacon and sausage patties!! Definitely tasty and filling. But now let’s get back to this coffee, it was one of the best lattes I have ever had anywhere and I travel a lot for work. And I have yet to find a hot Salted Caramel latte, they all offer it in cold brew. This one set the bar high. On my drive back to South Carolina I stopped to get gas and another similar drink at a big national coffee chain and it was meh. I haven’t even went into describing the establishment itself, what an awesome coffee house, roomy, great place to visit with family and friends and I noticed students taking advantage of the setting to get out their laptops and get to work. If y’all want to open another shop in Mauldin SC I would do my best to keep you in business.

Great coffees and atmosphere! My fiancé got the chocolate covered cherry latte and I got the blueberry nightmare latte (blueberry and dark mocha). I was skeptical about his chocolate cherry latte as I am not a huge fan of cherry flavoring, but it was delicious! The cherry was not overpowering at all. They had the place decorated for Christmas and there was a fireplace going, which was very nice and created a cozy place to sit. There’s seating available on the beautiful front porch so we’ll plan to come back again when the weather is warmer. All in all, I rate their coffee/espresso drinks, pricing, and the atmosphere 10/10

The food was delicious, especially the pizza. It fills you up faster than you'd think. Hot chocolate was made fresh and hot. Very yummy. Service was a little slow, but that was only because it was busy. They are fast to accommodate you. The atmosphere is comfortable but small.

What a wonderful coffeehouse! It’s in the back of a historic 1840s residence and has a charming vibe, with exposed brick and high ceilings. The homemade scones and pizza are delicious. We will definitely be back.

Just the perfect spot after a walk from the hotel or a hike, I wish there were more “unique” places like this in the US in general. The locals seem to love it. I actually got here because where I come from “Kava” means coffe! And I wanted to know more. I just asked the super nice lady at the counter why it’s named Kava Haus… OK so got the chance to talk to the owner. Owner’s family origin is from Germany/Poland/Slovakia so the name is quite easily explained but there’s more. Everything they do is made from scratch. They buy flour from italy, all organic, they buy raw green coffee from Brazil, Sumatra, Ethiopia. They bake the coffe here. They make the pizza bread with the Italian flour and there’s a wide selection of breakfast items like omelettes. Also a lot of sweet delicacies too. I got a peppermint cold tea with honey, and and and OMG the espresso (finally!!!!) is a real espresso. Creamy, tasteful, all rounded top quality awesome coffee 👏 I have the feeling I’ve found my new favorite place to hang out when am in Wilmington. I bet the locals love it! Oh and there’s a patio too, and the house is 200 years old!!! The bricks are real bricks.
