Beware of the menu deception. Ordered the savory pancakes with scrambled eggs instead of sunny side, bill comes with an extra $2.50 for scrambling an egg lol. Ask the waitress about it, “I’ve never seen that before” but proceeds to run the card anyway. In the words of admiral akbar, “It’s a trap”, a tourist trap. No wonder locals have moved to other beaches.

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.
