Drift Coffee & Kitchen
110 Dungannon Blvd, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“Drift strikes that rare balance between laid-back beach town charm and serious coffee craftsmanship, where baristas pull espresso shots with real care and the space itself—bright, trendy, and spotlessly clean—invites you to linger for hours with your laptop or a leisurely breakfast. The team has mastered making visitors feel like locals from the moment you walk in, and their creativity shines through in both traditional espresso drinks and adventurous seasonal specs like their pistachio latte, backed up by a solid menu of fresh pastries and breakfast fare that actually matters. Whether you're stopping by for a smooth americano or settling in for a full meal and WiFi marathon, Drift delivers the kind of genuine hospitality and quality that makes you want to come back again and again.”

I love this coffee shop. They always make you feel like a local even though you may be just visiting. Delicious coffee and wonderful food options. Would highly recommend this place well worth your journey to come and find out.
Drift Coffee & Kitchen was such a good stop on our trip. The coffee was wonderful—smooth, rich, and exactly what we needed. The space itself is super clean, bright, and trendy, with a really welcoming vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. You can tell they put thought into the details, from the design to the way everything is set up. It was the perfect place to take a break and recharge before getting back on the road. Grateful for the pick-me-up and definitely would stop again. Also the salted Carmel oat coconut was phenomenal!
I stopped by for a cup of coffee and got an americano. It was very good. I didn’t have a chance to eat there, but I saw that they had avocado toast on fresh bread and some other things that look like they were both healthy and delicious. It had a very nice ambience, good son and a nice little table for a workspace if you were looking for it. It seemed like it was an odd location at first, and I second-guess if I was in the right spot, but it’s actually a very nice area.
Very charming little place that leans in to the beach vibe but has a modern twist. You can tell by the latte that they care about roast and the staff is friendly and attentive. The brekkies are absolutely delicious and a hearty portion. This is an absolutely underrated alternative to downtown for brunch!
Delicious coffee and delicious food! I ordered a pistachio latte that didn’t really tasted like pistachios but it was still yummy. The place is aesthetically appealing. We stopped by after church at Port City and it is literally 4 minutes away. The staff was friendly. Will definitely come again and will try a different latte.
