Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen Downtown

Good coffee, clean and bright interior. Didn’t try the food this time but the menu looked solid. Will be back but until then, glad we stopped by.

Really enjoyed this little coffee spot. I had the avocado toast and an oat milk latte. I can’t wait to go back and try the breakfast burrito.

So many gluten free options! I had the gluten free banana bread and the bodega sandwich with gf bread and a chai latte, amazing!! My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito (not gf) with orange juice and loved it as well!

Ordered a breakfast sandwich that looked very tiny, but ended up being very filling and it tasted great. The iced coffee had a raspberry foam that was absolutely amazing.

Delicious food and even better coffee. The variety is fun to choose from and the seasonal drinks have been probably the best coffee drinks I’ve ever had. The miso caramel and peanut butter blossom drinks were heavenly.

Cute spot. Could lower the lights a bit. Staff was generally friendly. Chia bowl was great. A bit pricey but nice w healthy options.

Also, not sure if it's policy but the workers were standing around multiple times and had customers come up and get their own food even if they were outside instead of just bringing it to them, thought that was odd....one worker said "oh they'll pick it up" even though they knew who the customer was and certainly had the capability to deliver it. That was definitely not a good look on the service side.

For some starting context, I’ve been to this location a handful of times and each visit is pretty consistent with the below positive and negatives. The food is good but is definitely irrationally priced. For atmosphere, every time it’s always so unacceptably dirty and grimy (photo was taken on a slow Sunday afternoon, only maybe a dozen people here). It’s pretty apparent they do not clean every day and I sure wish I could figure out the cleaning schedule so I can finally make it a point to come on a day it’s been freshly cleaned to actually enjoy my time here. On top of the uncleanliness, the front line employees always have this aura of dissatisfaction about them. I won’t blame them for their moods because usually an employees mood stems from management, but just be warned that nothing comes with a smile here. As for the coffee, it’s definitely some of the top in town for quality and range of options. They are pushing the limits again on price, but for now it’s still worth it.

Friendly staff, great food & coffee. I had the Warm Lunch Bowl and the Gingerbread man Latte - both were delicious! The food was surprisingly good for a coffee shop, we were 3 ppl and all loved our food and drinks.

New coffee shop downtown that offers a place to sit, have coffee, and a bite to eat that includes some vegan options.
The interior is modern contrasted with natural wood on both the floor and ceiling that gives the place a chill feel.

Nice aesthetic and really good iced coffee and selection. This was my wife’s favorite coffee shop of all that we visited in Wilmington, but I have to knock them a star because this location is not wheelchair accessible (I’ve tried to update their About tab because it shows they are). Both the front and side doors are a large step up. The neighboring door has a shorter step, but still isn’t accessible.
