Crema's Take
“Drift's signature flavored lattes—the Rose and pistachio are standouts—showcase what happens when specialty espresso meets creative, approachable flavor work that doesn't overcomplicate things. The yellow-and-white umbrellas dotting the patio are more than Instagram fodder; they're a sign of owners who've thought through the whole experience, from the chocolate croissants to the focaccia avocado toast, making this Main Street spot genuinely worth the slight premium you'll pay.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The food was good and tasty. I like the location, right on 1st street and near the water front. The drinks were good too. But only problem is it's a bit pricey. It's good but this may have to be one of those once in a blue moon or special occasions. We're talking two slices of…
Greek yogurt granola fruit cup $7.55 was the perfect breakfast. Great espresso. The Wednesday morning staff lady was alone but served everything super fast, taking orders, taking payments, and preparing drinks and food. She does an incredible job.
