Drifting Grounds Coffee House

On the expensive side but a cute place so I'll let it slide. I enjoy getting my iced matcha latte with oat milk and coconut syrup. The baked goods are always yum here. The books, art prints, and stores nextdoor are nice to walk around after you've finished your beverage.

Drifting Grounds is a cozy little place to take a coffee break and enjoy the pastries or even a light lunch! You can sit at a table or lounge on a sofa.

After relaxing, you can browse in the Pearl’s Corner vintage thrift boutique (They also have new stuff), or in the Turning Pages Book Lounge. (They also have vinyl!)

They are all connected so, rain or shine, a nice way to pass some time! ☕️🥐👗📚

A great spot to pick up a coffee and quick bite. Everyone is friendly and there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There’s often a line on weekends but it moves quickly.

As a bonus: The coffee shop is in the same building as a book shop and vintage store with direct connectivity to both inside so it’s fun to shop around after.

Googled for a top notch coffee shop near me while on vacation. Reviews were great for a reason. We ate on the patio.

Visited Drifting Grounds during a weekend getaway to Bethany Beach, drawn by glowing online reviews. Their coffee, sourced from a local roaster (Homestead Coffee Roasters), delivers rich, bold flavors that stand out. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with ample cozy seating perfect for lingering or grabbing a quick cup to go.

The shop shares space with a charming used bookstore, thrift store, and toy shop, adding a unique, eclectic touch to the experience. While they offer a small food menu, I stuck to the coffee this time.

A fantastic spot to unwind or pick up a quality brew—highly recommend for anyone passing through the area!

We drove 8 hours to get to Rehoboth Beach for a wedding. Such a relief to find a coffee place with a calming atmosphere and amazing coffee. Highly recommend the half sweet coconut white chocolate latte. We went every day we spent down here. It was a pleasant highlight of our trip.

A great cafe in the Bethany Beach area. I visited many times this summer for iced lattes and breakfast items. The iced lattes are strong and the perfect shade. Quick service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Has a parking lot.
