I opted for the Rooster & Hen vanilla smoothie: vanilla protein, coffee, banana, chai, honey and flax. Just what I needed after a heavy powerlifting session. Yes, it was $7.29 but for high quality ingredients, friendly counter staff and the macros I needed post-lifting, I think it's worth it.

It's a blend of cold brew and nitro cold brew -- smooth, a little chocolaty, and pretty good overall (though I wouldn't have minded if it were a bit stronger). When we came in, they were out of drip coffee so they couldn't make a "shot in the dark," so my fiancé went with an Americano instead and it was solid. There aren't many coffee shops around here unless you drive to Carolina Beach, so I'm really glad this one turned out to be good! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

My family lives on the island so I've been coming to Drift for years. It's a bit pricey, but you…read morecan tell they use high quality ingredients and whoever curated the menu put a lot of time into it. The avocado toast, the veggie breakfast burrito, the coffee cake, the smoothies, and the iced black amber are my go to's and they never miss. The service is quick, even though I know they get crazy busy during the summer. As someone who understands service/cafe biz, I will always give leniency to workers who are busting it during high volume seasons. The people who don't understand that a wait will be expected when you have one good coffee shop on an island that hosts thousands of people every summer are dense. Be kinder to your service workers, people. The most recent time I visited Drift, I was excited to try the Acai bowl. After I ordered, I was told that unfortunately they were out of Acai. They refunded my money and I ordered a smoothie instead. I was ready to pay for my smoothie when the employee told me the smoothie was on the house since they were out of Acai. Great customer service. I've been visiting Ocean Isle since there were rinky-dink water slides in operation across from what is now Drift. It's been wonderful to see a successful, quality coffee shop on the island.
