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.

Was in town for a conference and saw this place had good reviews. I stopped in for early lunch.
I ordered the cold brew with house vanilla caramel and almond milk - was absolutely delicious. For food I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich, it was ok. I didn’t love the thick pieces of chicken. I will probably just order breakfast next time. Service was great.

just spent 6 days in wilmington for a one tree hill convention and i hit up drift coffee almost every morning for a drink and breakfast. the staff were so friendly and even made it point to acknowledge they recognize me coming back. if i lived in wilmington this would be my spot. go check out this location for friendly service, great beverages & food, and just a great space to add to your wilmington experience. thanks yall! i'll defintely be back when in town next.
