We had a very pleasant experience at this local coffeehouse. The exterior of this coffee house is…read morereminiscent of a beach bungalow house or a local beach restaurant in St Augustine Florida. Yet, the ambience inside has a cozy and inviting home presence with a comfortable leather couch, festive home decor & furniture, and friendly staff. Jesalyn, our server, was very amicable, calm, professional, and recommended the Winter Wonderland seasonal coffee with chocolate & hazelnut flavors. We both ordered it and spent about two hours there. Service was efficient yet peaceful even when there was a flow of traffic after we were served. Time flew fast there and yet the environment always maintained a sense of serenity despite the flow of people coming in the coffeehouse. There are different vendors with many items to select for purchase from art to accessories. The colorful bags with the smiley faces promoting mental health awareness caught my eye at one of the vendor areas there. I love that the coffeehouse is veteran owned, decorated for Christmas, and has an eclectic mix of handmade items and local art pieces. This is definitely a local business & coffeehouse to visit again in the future.

What a pleasant surprise! Love this place!…read more As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by friends and family with smiles. This coffee shop is definitely a home away from home kind of feel. From leather sofas, cute table sets, meeting rooms, and Christmas decor, you get a real sense of peace and comfort. The seasonal coffee with chocolate undertones was a delight and was what I needed from such a long drive. We spent over two hours here taking photos and seeing family. The staff here are welcoming and so generous. The business supports Veterans and offers military discounts! Can't wait to meet Eric, the owner someday to thank him for his service and as a fire fighter. True American hero. Jesalyn, served us our coffee and assisted with all sorts of keto friendly options such as sugar free flavored syrups. Delicious! I suggested to have old Christmas favorites playing on the television such as Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life, the. I would have asked for a job and never left. The business supports local venders and community by selling a variety of favorites such as cute smiley face hand bags, jam, mugs, art work, photos, cards, and other gifts.

Grilled cheese was a let down, as well as both the sides. My turkey specialty on an everything bagel was good, I really enjoyed it. The husband gave the ham, egg, and cheese a 4/5 and the little gave the pastry a 10. Negatives: staff doesn't clean the tables, every one was dirty so we had to clean up one ourselves. The place as a whole needs a deep clean. Electrical pipes have a good amount of caked on dust accumulated on it.

A nod to Mean Girls I assume. It was tasty, I wish I could go back for another. I also wish we had something like this in Charlotte. Can't wait to return on a future visit.

My first visit there was to meet with an old friend I hadn't seen in many years who moved back to Hampstead.

I highly recommend the banana toast; it is now my favorite morning meal, and the Blue Cloud latte was indeed a drink from the heavens. I am looking forward to visiting Drift very often.

I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall.
