Crema's Take

Nestled in downtown Wilmington's walkable heart, this spot has earned a devoted local following with consistently excellent coffee alongside breakfast that actually matches the quality of the drinks—think perfectly executed breakfast burritos and avocado toast that justify the trip uphill from nearby hotels. The modern, inviting aesthetic and genuinely warm service create the kind of place where regulars become everyday visitors, making it as much about the unhurried experience of sitting with your coffee as it is about what's in your cup.

This is was a Very nice surprise! Right around corner from our Hotel Ballast. Nice .25 mile walk. Is up hill. Ordered the Avocado Toast on Sourdough. Very very good. Forgive me. Forgot a pic. Hubby had the Market Bowl Breakfast. He said very delicious. Coffee was nice. Worth the stop.

Amazing açaí bowl and avocado egg sandwich! Ate the food so fast didn’t have time to take pictures. Will absolutely come back again many times!

This place is amazing. Typically when I get coffee on my trips the food at those places is just OK. Not only were the drinks top notch, but the breakfast burrito was one of the best I ever had. A little spice, cut by the avocado. Highly recommend if you're looking to fuel yourself for a day walking around exploring the town.

This is my go to spot downtown. Literally here everyday. Drift has a number of shops but this one is in the heart of downtown and consistently provides such friendly and inviting customer service… and coffee. It’s to the point where when I go somewhere else for coffee on the weekends - it’s disappointing. The attitude of the baristas and the managers is top-notch and just makes it feel like a place that you could hang out for hours. Aside from the coffee and customer service, whole the food menu is slightly more limited compared to the larger cafes- it’s still freaking excellent. Deeply appreciate the staff’s dedication. Super personable and keeps me coming back.

Drift Coffee and Kitchen in downtown Wilmington is absolutely beautiful — the aesthetic is clean, modern, and inviting. I also loved the walkability of the area, making it such a convenient and enjoyable stop. The food was fresh and delicious, perfect for a light breakfast or brunch. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the coffee during my visit — it tasted very acidic to me — I truly feel this spot has so much great potential. Maybe I caught them on an off day, because everything else about the experience was wonderful. I definitely plan to stop back at one of their other locations to test out my theory! Overall, Drift is a great space for a casual breakfast, a coffee date with friends, or simply relaxing with family. Highly recommend visiting for the vibes alone! #driftcoffee #driftcoffeeandkitchen #wilmingtoncoffee #wilmingtonnc #wilmingtonfoodie #wilmingtoncafes #coffeewilmingtonnc #downtownwilmingtonnc #coffeelovernc #coffeetimewilmington #northcarolinacoffee #coffeeculturenc #nccoffee #wilmingtonbrunch #wilmingtonbreakfast Follow me @holycityfitblonde on Instagram
