On the expensive side but a cute place so I'll let it slide. I enjoy getting my iced matcha latte with oat milk and coconut syrup. The baked goods are always yum here. The books, art prints, and stores nextdoor are nice to walk around after you've finished your beverage.

Picked this one of Google maps because of the good rating. I gotta add to that. I will warn you, it's easy to miss. I pulled in, saw the closed coffee trailer and sighed because I thought I had to find another dealer for my caffeine addiction. Not so, because there is also a brick and mortar building under the same name tucked around the back of this building. Entering, it has a fun, welcoming vibe and our server was very friendly and helpful to a new customer. Prices seemed fair for the area but the service was fast. A little more about the atmosphere, I loved seeing the various seating options including couches, a small bar with stools, and traditional tables with chairs and outdoor seating.

A great cafe in the Bethany Beach area. I visited many times this summer for iced lattes and breakfast items. The iced lattes are strong and the perfect shade. Quick service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Has a parking lot.

Great coffee, breakfast, and pastries. There's a variety of inside and outside seating too. Staff was friendly and quick - 10/10 Recommend.

Visited Drifting Grounds during a weekend getaway to Bethany Beach, drawn by glowing online reviews. Their coffee, sourced from a local roaster (Homestead Coffee Roasters), delivers rich, bold flavors that stand out. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with ample cozy seating perfect for lingering or grabbing a quick cup to go. The shop shares space with a charming used bookstore, thrift store, and toy shop, adding a unique, eclectic touch to the experience. While they offer a small food menu, I stuck to the coffee this time. A fantastic spot to unwind or pick up a quality brew—highly recommend for anyone passing through the area!
