Super cute vibes. There’s a swing and the decor is very kitschy. I ordered the chai latte with almond milk. So yummy!! Will def go back
The staff was super friendly, and we ordered 2 drinks, an acai bowl, and a sandwich. It took less than 10 mins to get everything. I rlly enjoyed my matcha latte, and the acai bowl was delicious. It wasn't too sweet, and the toppings were fresh. Wish I could stay there and enjoy the vibe. If I were a local, there would be my go-to spot.

The sunset bowel was fresh and balanced. I'm usually picky about my coffee but the Oats ‘n Honey coffee here was so good!
Surprisingly very delicious and fresh ingredients. Lattes were so amazing. Location on Thames is super convenient. Interior decor/vibes is so-so.

Drift Cafe is a great place for a quick meal or beverage to take out. The model is to order at the cashier then find a table for the food to be served. Waitstaff very accommodating and added to our order after we sat down to avoid having to stand in the growing line. Breakfast fare very hearty and smoothies very smooth. Restrooms clean. Decent variety on the menu and food very good.

Drift is a cute cafe that has tasty espresso and açaí bowls/breakfast/lunch. Finding a place that can do dairy-free things is always a win, but pair that with friendly staff and fun hammock chairs and lots of good windows and I’m sold. I’ll be back to try more!

We were there with my family, we came from Florida, we have a special family event, a wedding so I was there for the whole weekend! Amazing place, the coffee is SOOOOO GOOD, the flavor, the team is helpful, they are smiling and having a great attitude. I love to support local businesses and this is a place that I definitely want to come back!

First time visiting Drift this morning and had a delicious breakfast. All of the staff were very friendly and patient with our large group order. The line was long but moved very quickly. The menu had something for everyone in our group with great healthy options.
The Açaí smoothie bowls were delicious, even my picky 4 year old loved them! Plenty of seating inside, we grabbed a bench and couches by the window for a cozy spot to enjoy our food. We will definitely be back!

I found this place on here for a visit to Newport and it was a hit! We all found something we liked, it’s really cute inside, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and one small bathroom. I got a smoothie bowl and a food bowl because I am a sucker for that stuff. Would totally come back especially since, unlike Root, this place has a bathroom.
