Absolutely 1 of 2 best breakfast spots in Harrisonburg. Our other favorite is Heritage bakery…read more.. the theme of bakery lets you know that both places make all their bread and baked goods fresh! They don't gave thousands of dishes but every dish is thoughtful and each ingredient necessary to pull off the perfect bite. I think the fig pig tartine might be one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The fig jam on freshly baked sourdough with fresh prosciutto and white cheddar, nutty arugula and the perfect sprinkle of lemon jest completes the dance in your palate. It's a must get. If you want something hearty... the sweet and hot breakfast biscuit will hit the spot. The jalapeño mixed with pear jam on a freshly baked biscuit... and the gooey white cheddar... so so good! Everything is fresh and delicious! A lot of breakfast places serve burnt industrial coffee... but they serve the coffee from Chestnut Ridge which is just across the street in the basement... but it's amazing! Fresh squeezed orange juice is pricey but delicious and the decor is beautiful! Get here before the doors open and wait in line or you'll have to wait a bit. But you can get on the waitlist and go to the stores across the street.

I appreciated that they were able to give me half/half on the greens and roasted potatoes as sides for the frittata. The Okay: service fell a bit short at times. They forgot about my partner's coffee. But I'll chalk this up to them being really busy. My partner wasn't too crazy about his breakfast sandwich, stating that the bread used was a bit too fluffy. All in all, would definitely give them another try.

I got the hearty grain short stack and it just alright as far as pancakes go. The canjun-spiced potatoes my partner wanted must've been the tail end of the batch, with a lot of little burnt bits. My chai was delicious, however, probably the best I've had in a while. I'll give em a 3.6 for this visit, with the caveat that we'd definitely give them another try.

Looking for some good coffee in the Burg but you're tired of going to the same café?Don't trip, I…read moregot you. It's lowkey a hidden gem that I've been gatekeeping, it's worth the hype tho. Drifters Café is the kind of place you stumble into once and wonder how you ever lived without it. Tucked away in Harrisonburg, it's got a relaxed, unpolished charm that feels instantly inviting like your cool friend's loft but with better espresso. The coffee? Legit. Smooth, bold, and just the right amount of creative. Their iced Mexi Mocha hits you with a hint of spice that somehow makes you feel more awake and alive than your average caffeine fix. What sets Drifters apart is how effortlessly comfortable it feels. There's no forced aesthetic or overly curated playlist just friendly people, natural light, and a space that feels like it was made for slowing down. Whether you're catching up with a friend, deep in your laptop, or just people watching over a hot latte, it never feels like you're overstaying your welcome. If you're looking for good coffee, a chill and friendly atmosphere, or you just want to lock in and get some work done. Drifters is where you want to be

The place was pretty empty at 7:30am on a Saturday morning, but I'm not complaining at all. Service was really good. I got the avocado bagel with everything seasoning on top and a vanilla latte.

I loved it here and would return.

We came for dinner, and were served by Molly. We've been coming here few times a year for the past…read more12 years. The experience usually great, which is why we keep coming back, and the menu is always fun! The service started great and the food came looking fantastic as usual, until I found a long hair in my bowl. Molly was very apologetic once we showed her the hair and she took it inside to show the kitchen. I told her I don't want another bowl , as I didn't want the food to go to waste and didn't have time to wait for a new one. Here is were the service turned south; - Molly didn't come back to check on us or fill the water cups - We didn't get a discount of any kind in the check, as you would normally expect! - I expected the chef or the manager on duty to come out and apologize, but that didn't happen. - Finally, Molly brought our check when we finished eating and didn't ask if we are interested in desserts, as typically the case! Just very odd reaction to an issue Like this, and shows lack of professionalism and training on behalf of the management on how to deal with bad customer experience like a hair in the food. By the way, I'm bold, so the long hair is from the kitchen!

We were down in Hburg this past week and visited JM's again. We had a great experience there…read morebefore several times. Drinks were great, very polite staff at the front. The place is HOPPING on a Friday night. Staff seemed to enjoy working there and have a good team rapport. What I noticed is how many different types of people were enjoying themselves. Middle aged people after work in business attire, young people in casual attire. I think the place is very clever to offer quite exquisite looking Mocktails for the student age population. No reason for anyone to feel left out. Great food and service and a very happy vibe. I wish there were a tad more variety in the menu, but you can't be all things to all people and it is more important to do a select number of items extremely well. We will definitely return.

It did take a while for our food to come to the table.

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.

With a new chef at the helm, the menu still delivers the quality and care we've come to expect, but with an added touch of fresh creativity. We ordered the steak burger and the grilled salmon, and both dishes were outstanding. The presentation was elegant without being overdone, and the flavors were spot-on. The steak burger was juicy, perfectly cooked, and came with thoughtful accompaniments that elevated the classic. The salmon was beautifully grilled, flaky and flavorful, with sides that complemented it perfectly. Service was warm and attentive as always, and the ambiance strikes that great balance between upscale and comfortable. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
