    The family & I are in Massanutten for a fun weekend away, but just couldn't handle the resort prices anymore. We decided on Drifters Cafe for breakfast because I saw coffee flights (thanks Yelpers!). They are real & basically 4 small coffees for $13. INCREDIBLE! My husband who doesn't like coffee, but enjoys a good chocolate mocha asked me to put the white mocha on the flight then we had caramel macchiato, dirty chai latte, and horchata latte. Hubs drank the white mocha giving me just a sip to try (). It was delicious! So was the carmel and horchata. The dirty chai latte fell short for me. It was missing that christmas in a cup feel. Maybe not enough cinnamon? Not sure, but it was missing. We also had the loaded bagel sandwich, wraps, and a bagel croissant. All were scarfed up by my hungry brood. Ambience is industrial coffee house. It's bright, well lit, and I love that the tables aren't super close together. It's a bit tricky to find. It's behind the building that has a kitchen place attached. The team brings your coffee and food to your table. Very nice!

    Great chill little Cafe. We tried the breakfast burrito and a smoothie. The staff was quick and nice, the burrito was a good fresh mix of veggies, fresh eggs, sausage and a spicy mayo.

    Razor blade in Southwest Bowl

    My first time dining at Drifters cafe was made a horrid experience due to the lack of knowledge and concern from the manager; and also risk of internal bleeding/death. My friend was eating her bowl she had ordered and found a RAZOR BLADE in her food. When we brought this issue and the blade in hand to the manager, he showed lack of concern: explaining that just a week ago another customer had found a SCREW in his/her wrap. He did not hesitate to refund her, however he showed a bizarre lack of concern and seemed incredibly comfortable telling us about the screw that other customer found. Does this happen often? As someone in a managerial position in the food service industry, there should have been way more hospitality than a lousy refund and horror story of another bad incident happening at this place. If someone would have ingested this garbage, serious internal damage would have occurred, let alone the fact of how dirty razor blades are. This incident alone shows that this establishment for 1. Does not check their produce before serving them to the public, 2. Does not even WASH their vegetables either, and 3. Has an inexperienced and unprofessional manager. What if a child had mistakenly and unknowingly swallowed this blade instead of an adult who had some discernment that this was indeed a razor blade? This is terrible and no one should risk eating at this establishment. If you want to swallow and ingest a sharp razor blade, be Drifter's cafe's guest!

    Cute coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Matcha wasn't too sweet, very good!

    Latte flight!

    Amazing coffee and food, great prices. Spacious ambiance with lots of light. Good wifi for studying. Buy 6 coffees and get one free! Try the dirty chai latte with espresso. Friendly service.

    Great all around find! Cozy vibe, great service, great breakfast sandwiches, and yummy drinks. Was pleasantly surprised by how much it was 10/10 all around.

    Saturday brunch coffee flight and my girlfriend got the breakfast tacos. All very good and would recommend.

The owner cannot be everywhere at once, so we really appreciate their responsiveness and taking feedback. Based on that, we feel we can give feedback, and would consider going back to Coffee Hound for another type of drink. Thanks to Coffee Hound for the refund and educating the employee. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Took my wife here, specifically for a Matcha, and it was TERRIBLE. We went Sunday, June 14th after noon. There was a gentleman and a young lady that wore a hoodie with a hat. She seemed unhappy the second we walked in. She made a severely diluted, watery Matcha. When my wife pointed it out, the barista insisted it was because of the brand of Almond Milk. (Yet, my wife gets Matchas with Almond Milk everyday - and they are NOT watery!) She didn't offer to remake it, didn't offer to make it thicker. Nothing. We ended up getting another Matcha from another coffee shop and DUMPED (wasted our money on) Coffee Hounds almost $10 Matcha (including tip). My wife tried to drink the watery matcha but I just couldn't take it. We stopped at another coffee shop, and got her a Matcha from somewhere that knows what a Matcha is and how to make it. Maybe next time Coffee Hound will teach their employees better customer service and how to make quality Matchas for their prices! Or getter "better" Almond Milk.

    Loveee that they allow dogs inside! Super cute and quaint coffee shop. We tried the medium and dark…read moreroast drip and americano, all delicious. Easy parking in the lot with assigned spaces.

    Love a classic afternoon tea that won't break the bank? Heritage Cafe is the place. Enjoyed the…read moreFull Tea, which included unlimited tea, 3 savory sandwiches, 3 sweets, and a fresh generously sized scone (today's flavor was lemon and ginger). Seriously, these were some of the best scones I've ever had - crispy sweet outer texture, soft and fluffy on the inside, no crumbly mess like other scones. Wide selection of teas to choose from - I picked the lightly fruity Lady Grey, my husband the warm and toasty Genmaicha. And the savory sandwiches were a step up from the basic white bread standard - roast beef on a pretzel bun, tuna on a croissant, open faced cucumber, chicken with roasted red pepper spread. A lovely way to spend a late morning or early afternoon in downtown Harrisonburg.

    We visited this restaurant on a beautiful day in Fall. The weather was so nice that we could sit…read moreoutside. The customer service was outstanding and super friendly. I ordered chicken pot pie, a little key lime pie bite and sweet tea. The crust on the chicken pot pie was exceptionally tasty and the pie bite was just the right size. You don't feel like you are downtown. The serving pieces were vintage and really helped capture the vibe. Because the food was amazing, service friendly and atmosphere cozy, I'm really excited to go back and try more. This is my new favorite place!
