Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen Downtown

This is was a Very nice surprise! Right around corner from our Hotel Ballast. Nice .25 mile walk. Is up hill. Ordered the Avocado Toast on Sourdough. Very very good. Forgive me. Forgot a pic. Hubby had the Market Bowl Breakfast. He said very delicious. Coffee was nice. Worth the stop.

This place is amazing. Typically when I get coffee on my trips the food at those places is just OK. Not only were the drinks top notch, but the breakfast burrito was one of the best I ever had. A little spice, cut by the avocado. Highly recommend if you're looking to fuel yourself for a day walking around exploring the town.

This is my go to spot downtown. Literally here everyday. Drift has a number of shops but this one is in the heart of downtown and consistently provides such friendly and inviting customer service… and coffee. It’s to the point where when I go somewhere else for coffee on the weekends - it’s disappointing. The attitude of the baristas and the managers is top-notch and just makes it feel like a place that you could hang out for hours. Aside from the coffee and customer service, whole the food menu is slightly more limited compared to the larger cafes- it’s still freaking excellent. Deeply appreciate the staff’s dedication. Super personable and keeps me coming back.

Drift Coffee and Kitchen in downtown Wilmington is absolutely beautiful — the aesthetic is clean, modern, and inviting. I also loved the walkability of the area, making it such a convenient and enjoyable stop. The food was fresh and delicious, perfect for a light breakfast or brunch. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the coffee during my visit — it tasted very acidic to me — I truly feel this spot has so much great potential. Maybe I caught them on an off day, because everything else about the experience was wonderful. I definitely plan to stop back at one of their other locations to test out my theory! Overall, Drift is a great space for a casual breakfast, a coffee date with friends, or simply relaxing with family. Highly recommend visiting for the vibes alone! #driftcoffee #driftcoffeeand

Amazing açaí bowl and avocado egg sandwich! Ate the food so fast didn’t have time to take pictures. Will absolutely come back again many times!
