Stopped by Driftwood Kava & Roastery and had an okay experience. The coffee was average. Not bad, but nothing particularly memorable or standout. The barista didn’t seem very welcoming and appeared a bit annoyed that we weren’t regulars, which made the interaction feel a bit awkward. That said, the art and interior design are incredible. The space itself is creative, cozy, and feels very welcoming, which we really appreciated. Overall, a fine stop for a quick drink, but a warmer, more engaging service experience would make a big difference.

It’s a decent coffee shop. It sucks this is the only one in this area. The kava isn’t anything special it’s not very strong and it’s very gritty. Service was great.

Walked in 9/26 to get the same thing I Order 3 days a week it Comes to 4.75$ everytime . Yesterday walked in to get my coffee there’s a fat girl with green hair says it’s 6.96$ told her I came in got same thing daily must be something wrong she told me she doesn’t see me everyday so it don’t matter basically calling me a liar was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive to me didn’t try to see what was able to be done I said ok bye thanks she said “yea whatever” when I left . I’ve been in prior where she was making my drink having whole conversations at the bar while I’m waiting for my drink to be made . This was by far the WORST service at any kava bar I’ve ever been to yet . I started coming here because it was the best espresso in town I choose to stop going to grassroots 3x a week to come here I will NEVER STEP FOOT IN DRIFTWOOD AGAIN . Went to grassroots after and got my same drink 5.00$ reached out with my concern to management no response so hopefully someone sees this and doesn’t decide to go there cause the girl who works there shouldn’t even be able to work with the public has 0 service skills and has a nasty mouth

Really feel relaxed and calm here. Fantastic coffee and atmosphere. Chill at both locations. Seminole and St. Pete. Music and vibe.
I've been going here since I moved to this area. The environment is warm and welcoming and they usually have eclectic art. The coffee is great, workers are friendly and sociable. Price is good for Seminole. Dog friendly as well.

Found this place on yelp and thought it might be worth a try. Came in and the staff was nice and welcoming only issue is the coffee tasted burnt. They were kind enough to make me another after I expressed my dislike in the taste but that second coffee tasted burnt and off as-well. My stomach started hurting after a couple of sips and so did my husbands. We realized that they use a really old espresso machine and I think some of their flavors might be expired but not 100% sure on that. I really wanted to like this place :( I’m off to tear my restroom up!
