I came in with my family for some brunch and I gotta say , the food was great ! The place was definitely busy but the staff made their best to make sure we had a pleasant experience.
My server Gina was very patient with our specific orders and made sure to adjust them accordingly. She also kept checking in on us constantly even in such a rush and we definitely appreciate it that .
The hostess seemed very attentive and kept checking on our water bottles .
Overall a very good experience, even if we had to wait a little for our orders since everyone was so busy .
Definitely recommend, but if you’re in a rush and what a little more quiet dine in experience I suggest going throughout the week rather than on the weekends.

Great location for 2-8 folks to have a well put together meal. Staff are all attentive and hard-working and the facility is very well kept. All Baristas are competent and great to observe and talk with. Very highly recommend.

I rarely give a review top stars, because there’s always room for improvement, but this place here. So deserving! Everything was just incredible. The fries were the best-tasting fries I’ve ever had. I could go on and on, but you can gather that I was super impressed, and I took my son there for Father’s Day. He took me to Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant for Mother’s Day. We both agreed that Drift’s food was half the price and twice as good. I’m not putting down the other place, but the truth is the truth. Drift has some fantastic talent in the kitchen.

I used to go to the previous tenant of here (Just Salad) all the time, so when I saw that Drift had finally moved in I knew I had to give it a shot! And wow was it great! As soon as I walked in, the beautiful atmosphere struck me, it was almost unrecognizable from the salad shop that used to be here! The employees were so gracious and kind when taking my order as well! I absolutely loved the breakfast I had. For the price, it was a surprisingly great portion of high-quality, flavorful food, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. For a drink I got the Blue Cloud Iced Latte which was beautiful and you can tell was put together with a lot of care but personally, wasn’t my favorite, but my friends got some other amazing tasty drinks that I will for sure be having the next time I come. Overall, if you find yourself looking for a new breakfast spot, I highly recommend Drift!

We went to Drift for brunch and, unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed what could’ve been a really enjoyable meal. When we arrived, the hostess told us there would be a 15-minute wait because the kitchen was backed up, which we understood, but it was confusing since there were several open tables and we overheard a server say she was only waiting on one table. Personally, I’d rather be seated and wait a bit longer for food than stand outside for 15 minutes when there’s room inside.
Once seated, things didn’t improve much. Our server, Gina, seemed disorganized and unfamiliar with the system. It took more than 15 minutes just to get our drinks — my cappuccino was actually a latte, and my friend’s iced matcha came out hot. When we sent it back, Gina later asked if she had even taken our food order (she had — we’d already discussed substitutions).
The food, once it arrived, was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. But other servers ended up helping us more efficiently than Gina did all morning. To make things worse, my friend’s matcha, which had been delayed by over 30 minutes, wasn’t comped as promised. When we brought it up, Gina said she couldn’t adjust it because it was “under her name,” and brushed it off with, “Are you sure?” which felt dismissive.
Overall, Drift’s food was fantastic, but the poor, confusing service really tainted the experience. I hope management takes note, because with better staff training and communication, this place could be great.

I came in the other day and was so lucky to have Haya as my server!! She went above and beyond to make my experience so pleasant. Truly sweet, attentive, and on top of things! I can’t recommend my experience at Drift enough and hope everyone gets a server like Haya 🙂

Nice place to have a healthy breakfast or brunch. Service was friendly. There was a good selection from the menu. The cafe is bright and comfy . It was not too crowded either.

I ordered the breakfast burrito with potatoes instead of greens and a sea salt butterscotch cappuccino. I usually don’t expect much from restaurant potatoes but when they handed me the box I got a little whiff of garlic. I got in the car, I was intrigued so I decided to take a little bite. 15 minutes later I had INHALED the whole thing. The potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, garlicky, salty, with a touch of rosemary, absolutely incredible. The burrito I was a bit skeptical about because it was pulled pork but it was insaneeee such good flavor on the pork, eggs cooked perfectly, and paired well with the sauce they gave me. Butterscotch iced coffee was a 10/10, homegirl at the register ate that up! Just heard about this place but it’s on my way to work so this will be a weekly stop for me for SURE.

The food was great. The person who sat us down was great. However, our server Gina was not good at all. She was a bit argumentative when it came to me wanting to order an extra side to my main course. So, it seemed like she didnt know the menu well. My friend’s order was made incorrectly probably due to the server not writing down our orders. The multi tasking skills was not there as our wait times were long with getting to go boxes and other items. Lastly, we felt like we were getting avoided a little bit.

Went to Drift on a Saturday around 8:30— I can’t say enough good things about this cute little place!!!
Immediately seated and greeted by our waitress who made some recommendations from their seasonal drink menu. We tried their cookie butter latte—so good! We also got chamomile tea—they brought a whole pot of it for us which was so nice for only $4!!! We decided to both get the Crispy Potato Brekkie bowl and split the Nutella French Toast. The bowls were super well balanced and the tomato aioli?!! SO GOOD!!! The french toast was AMAZING—the caramalized bananas on top were such a nice touch, and the thick brioche toast was so good.
Reasonably priced for the quality of the food, amazing service, and in a great location—Drift really can’t be beat!! Can’t wait to be back very soon, thank you!!!
