“My wife and I stumbled into Drift for the first time last Sunday while spending the weekend in Wilmington for a comedy show I did. Absolute great coffee and a fantastic brunch. Bought a bag of beans for home, and the coffee I’ve had the last two days is out of this world. The coffee is rich and flavorful. I can’t wait to get back to Wilmington so I can go to Drift. Java Junkie approved! Thanks, Beau Johnson Java Junkie Comedy @bjohnsoncomedy“

“I’ve heard great things about this Restaurant. So, I’ve decided to come try this Restaurant for the first time. I’ve went there Last Sunday, 4/19, & celebrated my Birthday. I came there around 1:00 PM. There were lots of Customers there. So, I had to wait 20 Minutes to get a Table, not too bad of a Wait. The Employees were Super Nice & Friendly. The Food was Excellent! I would also like to say the Tres Leches Pancakes could use a little bit more Tres Leches, but it was Great! The Mimosas were Great! Great Customer Service, & No Communication Barrier. They’ve treated me like a V.I.P. The Atmosphere/Music was Great! I can feel the Culture as soon as I walked inside. Muchas gracias a Amenecer Cocina for making my Birthday a Great & Memorable one. I’ll definitely will be back for sure! 👍🍳🥞🇲🇽💯“

“Vicious Biscuit in Wilmington is the real deal! The biscuits are flaky and loaded just right, portions are perfect, and the fresh-squeezed OJ is on point. The staff show true southern hospitality friendly, attentive, and they make you feel welcome. Great atmosphere too, casual but lively. If you want brunch done right, this is the spot!“

“First time in the area, thought I’d give this place a try . Everyone was nice , especially the guy taking care of us, I believe Justin was his name. He recommended the lemon ricotta pancakes, I was skeptical but thought I would step out of my comfort zone and MAN WERE THEY GOOD! If I’m ever in the area I know where I’m eating for brunch! I hope To come across Justin as my waiter again! My glass was always full! (Which is a big deal for me)“

“This has to be the be best lunch place in all of Wilmington. Don’t miss Bobs homemade bean soup!!!!!“

“Okay. This breakfast was GREAT. I love a good small diner. This place has a relaxed atmosphere. The people working here are great, the food is delicious. It is a must have when you are in the mood for a good neighborhood diner. This place was so clean! I know an odd thing to say about a "greasy spoon" but it goes a long way when I wash my hands in a clean restroom before eating. Oh and the banana pudding tastes so close to what my granny made when I was growing up ❤️ I will be back soon.“

“We love love love jumbos! Having been going ever since I was a kid. Favorite spot in town“

“Classic breakfast diner with a greasy spoon vibe (not derogatory- I love greasy spoon type places!) it’s comforting to know that while Wilmington changes rapidly around us Whitefront is gonna keep serving delicious food with friendly service and no pretentiousness. Get your biscuits grilled and your potatoes crispy, you won’t be disappointed!“

“The food was absolutely amazing 10/10 would recommend tough for some reason I did wait a good 30-45 minutes for the food, the coffee and drinks came fast, I would recommend this place for something business meetings, or even a simple dinner with your partner. The vibes are similar to Starbucks and so are the prices tough the food is actually worth the price, I paid $35 for me and my girlfriend. Definitely eating here again“
