What People Are Saying
from Google"The food is actually so amazing. I would move down here just for this cafe. It’s so cozy and clean. The staff is so nice. Service is quick. I got a loaded everything bagel and the mango sunrise smoothie and it was 10/10"
"I had such a great experience at Drifters! The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and super welcoming, but what really made my visit stand out was the service. Katie was absolutely amazing!! She was friendly, attentive, and so patient. She made sure everything was perfect and checked in without ever feeling overbearing. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. The food and drinks were delicious, but Katie’s exceptional service is what will keep me coming back. Highly recommend stopping by!"
"Excellent healthier food and drinks with cute decor hidden among a more upscale restaurant. Best lunch I have had in a month of visiting the area (30+ different restaurants)!!!"
"Great café with good coffee, salads and sandwiches. Chipotle chicken sandwich was excellent. I really liked the multi grain bread used. The salads are also excellent. They include a great mix of greens, red cabbage and carrots. Salad dressing choice was limited. Service was quick and the price reasonable. Would definitely return."
"Really solid café. The drinks were good and the place had a chill setup, but what stood out was the service. Katie took care of me and she was great, super friendly, fast, and actually seemed like she liked her job. It made the whole visit way better. Definitely coming back."
