I came in the other day and was so lucky to have Haya as my server!! She went above and beyond to make my experience so pleasant. Truly sweet, attentive, and on top of things! I can't recommend my experience at Drift enough and hope everyone gets a server like Haya :)

Great location for 2-8 folks to have a well put together meal. Staff are all attentive and hard-working and the facility is very well kept. All Baristas are competent and great to observe and talk with. Very highly recommend.
