Nominee "Periwink" - 2025 Best of Wilmington

About this Nominee

Welcome to Periwink, your favorite local hangout where strong coffee meets even stronger women! We’re a badass, women-owned coffee shop and gift shop that serves up more than just caffeine—we’re brewing up support for women, mental health, and sobriety with every cup. Grab your favorite latte, or try something a little more daring (we’re all about the bold choices here), and shop our quirky selection of gifts, stationary, stickers, greeting cards, and wrapping paper—all from women-owned businesses who get it. From snarky cards that say exactly what you’re thinking, to motivational gifts that help you kick ass and take names, we’ve got the perfect stuff to make your day a little brighter. Need something to wrap it all up? Our badass wrapping paper is here for that too—because why settle for boring when you can gift in style? Oh, and did we mention we love swearing? No filter here. We’re not just a shop, we’re a movement. We celebrate sobriety, mental health, and unapologetic self-care in all forms. Whether you’re taking a break from the booze, working on your mental health, or just need a place where you can be your authentic self, this is the spot. So, come for the coffee, stay for the vibe, and leave feeling like the fierce, fabulous human you are. At Periwink, we’re all about supporting each other—one cup, one gift, and one bad-ass woman at a time.
