Had a much better experience at this location. Our server Madison was great. One of the managers Haley checked in on us. The food was amazing. Over all had a great time.

Amazing place for breakfast. Little pricey but the food is worth it!

Iced Vanilla Latte: this was delicious. Wife liked my latte so much that she got her own! This was a 10/10

Potato Breakkie: This was flavorful. Bacon was cooked to perfection (10/10). The potatoes were seasoned mostly with salt and they were flavorful (8/10). The avacado was fresh and soft (10/10). The eggs were my favorite part of this dish. They were very creamy and flavorful (10/10). The sauce on the side was perfect for the potatoes. It was not spicy in case anyone was wondering!

Nutella French Toast: Wow! The French toast was crispy on the crust but soft and fluffy on the inside. This was delicious. The fruits on the side were fresh as well (blueberries and raspberries). Easily 10/10.

Highly recommend this establishment. Will be back again!

Service got a 4 only bc I usually do pick up so opportunities to give stellar service is less. The burrito here is my favorite the goat cheese one it’s big—a nice portion. I wish the potatoes were crispier or had some texture to it, but the flavor is yummy. The amber something latte is a fave of mine, though the brown butter latte when I had it wasn’t very brown buttery. I have been here at least 3 times recently and that’s saying a lot as I love trying new places.

Good food, good atmosphere, good wait staff, typical prices. It was very busy when we got there. One of us has a hearing problem so we sat outside which was nice. We went at 11 am on a Sunday. They told us it was a cafe and we could stay as long as we wanted. And the crowd was disbursed by the time we left.

Ordered to go at the counter. Cesar salad to go came with dressing already mixed in, which was unfortunate because they put way too much that it was inedible. I went back in to order a matcha stood at the counter for a long time with no acknowledgment, so I just left. I wouldn’t come back.

Lovely little place. The coffee is GREAT the food is well made. I find the food prices to be slightly high for the volume. But it’s still a great place the atmosphere is lovely. There is free wifi. The staff is helpful and kind. Cute place to work and grab coffee or meet with colleagues or friends.

Wow, what a treat! We had the most lovely lunch at Drift - our server Lotus took amazing care of us, and we really enjoyed our coffee drinks and food! The seasonal coconut drink was particularly tasty, and the veggie breakfast burrito with the goat cheese was INSANE, seriously great portions. We even split a kids pancake breakfast for the table, loved their fluffy lil short stack. Can’t wait to come back!

I loved my visit here. The vibe is very light and airy. The service was excellent! I got seated right away, my order came out very fast, and the waitress at the end even offered a to-go water, which I feel like no one ever does anymore. The food was delicious. I actually chose this restaurant based on their menus listed here that had eggs benedicts, but the actual menu at the restaurant didn't have any on the current menu. While at first, I was disappointed, the food more than made up for it! The mimosa was nice and strong, the chai was delicious, and I was very happy with the Avo toast. I will definitely be back! There were lots of yummy looking options and I will want to try them next!

Very clean, pretty cafe. Staff is really friendly. We've eaten here several times and have ordered different items like pancakes, avocado toasts, protein bowls, and chia pudding bowls, and everything is absolutely scrumptious. Love their coffee as well.

First time here and it was by far an amazing experience. Our server Haleigh was amazing! I loved her energy and recommendations. I didn’t know what to get and she recommended the breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. The chai was the best I’ve ever had and I’ve tried a lot of places. The atmosphere was so peaceful and our food came really fast! 10/10. Other than the food, I will definitely be back and request Haleigh every time!
