Drift Cafe Ridgewood

First visit! Ellie was amazing! She noticed I had my work bag and seated me by the outlet! The vibe was bright, stylish, and fun! And the music was at just the right volume for a comfy solo working lunch! The pancakes were thick! Perfect eggs and yummy coffee too! Will definitely be back! What a treat!

Super cute spot. There’s a wait and the parking lot can get a bit busy. They offer take out as well. I would recommend adding yourself to the waitlist prior to arriving. Everything we had was delish! And the hot/iced lattes as well. I will def be back to try other menu items. :)

Such a relaxed and fun atmosphere to enjoy a great brunch with a friend. All the food was delicious. We saw a plate of the biscoff stack go by our table so we had to get one for us to try.

Update: Three time diner. One of the best places in Raleigh for a great cup of cappuccino – plus FIVE STARS for the food and service at Drift Cafe's new location at Ridgewood Shopping Center. The menu is excellent; food sourcing quality is top notch; great service; fast in the kitchen; free parking; indoor and outdoor seating. MY favorite dish is the breakfast bowl. The owners completed installation of sound baffles in the dining area; noise level is better now and lower volume on the music. Drift Cafe is also FIVE STARS and one of my favorite dining options at Wrightsville Beach. See our meal photos including Cappuccinos.

We had a great time! Our food was incredible and our server was so sweet and prompt. She was so sweet, and handled a busy Sunday brunch so well! The place is adorable and we will be back!

I was surprised that this was a sitdown restaurant as opposed to the other locations. Usually you order at the counter and then they serve you. I was pleasantly surprised. Our server Anna was super nice and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The breakfast burrito is heavenly it’s pulled pork which I’m not the biggest fan of but it’s an incredible compliment to the eggs avocado sauce and pickled onions. The potatoes and the sauce it comes with are out of this world. I cannot wait to go back. I wish it was a little closer to my house, but it’s probably a good thing because I’d be there too often.

Yum! Pancake biscotti and crispy potatoe brekkie. Whoever came up with this biscotti creation is a mastermind. Best breakfast ever. Cute lil cafe, great atmosphere, delicious beverages. We’re from SC… please open one in Lexington SC!

Two visits and a wonderful all-around experience both times. Tasty food, light airy HAPPY vibe, super friendly service, and fresh coffee. What more could you ask for?
