Best Raleigh Coffee Shops for a Jolt of Caffeine | Eater Carolinas

"Transport straight to Bondi Beach with the latest location of this Wilmington-based chain. The light, bright, and airy decor makes for an Instagram-worthy backdrop for the drinks, like the Blue Cloud latte made with butterfly pea flowers and ginger mixed with oat milk. For a quick boost try the aptly named “magic” coffee, a double espresso with steamed milk. To fuel any upcoming Zoom calls try the crispy potato brekkie with crispy potatoes, bacon, avocado, and cheesy scrambled eggs, and leave room to try the famous Biscoff pancakes." - Elliott Harrell

Amazing place for breakfast. Little pricey but the food is worth it! Iced Vanilla Latte: this was delicious. Wife liked my latte so much that she got her own! This was a 10/10 Potato Breakkie: This was flavorful. Bacon was cooked to perfection (10/10). The potatoes were seasoned mostly with salt and they were flavorful (8/10). The avacado was fresh and soft (10/10). The eggs were my favorite part of this dish. They were very creamy and flavorful (10/10). The sauce on the side was perfect for the potatoes. It was not spicy in case anyone was wondering! Nutella French Toast: Wow! The French toast was crispy on the crust but soft and fluffy on the inside. This was delicious. The fruits on the side were fresh as well (blueberries and raspberries). Easily 10/10. Highly recommend this establishment. Will be back again!

I loved my visit here. The vibe is very light and airy. The service was excellent! I got seated right away, my order came out very fast, and the waitress at the end even offered a to-go water, which I feel like no one ever does anymore. The food was delicious. I actually chose this restaurant based on their menus listed here that had eggs benedicts, but the actual menu at the restaurant didn't have any on the current menu. While at first, I was disappointed, the food more than made up for it! The mimosa was nice and strong, the chai was delicious, and I was very happy with the Avo toast. I will definitely be back! There were lots of yummy looking options and I will want to try them next!

I was looking for a place to meet friends and hang out. Drift was a convenient location for us. I ordered the Latte and it was delicious. I read another review that said it wasn't sweet enough. Mine wasn't sweet at all and was perfect, just as I like it. I would suggest you order what you want! I had the burger which was also delicious. One friend had an egg plate and a scone, another had a hamburger. The best thing was that they were so gracious about us staying put to chat. Other establishments may have forced us to leave but they invited us to stay as long as we liked and we did stay!! Thank you for the great food, service and atmosphere!!

This is my second time at Drift and I have to say, the customer service is incredible, especially the general manager, Ryan. We ordered the chicken sandwich and side of fries and an extra side of berries. The sandwich was so moist, and fried to perfection. I’ll also add, it’s huge! The fries were perfectly crisp as well. We sat outside in their cute little patio and throughly enjoyed our lunch there! Little side note, I especially love and appreciate when a restaurant’s bathroom reflects their interior. Their clean bathroom was just an extra brownie point for them. :) Overall, highly recommend, especially for the service and kindness of all staff!

The food was expensive and lacked seasoning/flavor. We ordered the breakfast burrito with a side of bacon and the crispy potato brekkie. The potatoes did not taste seasoned even with the sauce they added on top. Additionally, I was shocked that a side of bacon is only two pieces but costs almost $4. The chai tea latte and iced americano we got were also pretty bland, and my latte was not sweet at all. The only really good food was the pancake I ordered on the side. It made me wish I had ordered something sweeter to begin with. I think it’s worth giving it a try for the good service and lively atmosphere, but just beware of the high prices and the ability for the food to majorly disappoint.

Wow, what a treat! We had the most lovely lunch at Drift - our server Lotus took amazing care of us, and we really enjoyed our coffee drinks and food! The seasonal coconut drink was particularly tasty, and the veggie breakfast burrito with the goat cheese was INSANE, seriously great portions. We even split a kids pancake breakfast for the table, loved their fluffy lil short stack. Can’t wait to come back!

Came in solo around lunchtime to get some work done. Even though it was packed, they sat me right away and service was quick. I’m vegetarian and asked for a recommendation—the waitress suggested the egg toast and wow, she was right. So good! Only small gripe— that the server didn’t check in during the meal. I’d ordered the bottomless coffee (accidentally!), but only ended up having one cup since no one came by. Didn’t feel like flagging someone down to update the bill for a $1 difference and just left it. Drift is still newer and it was lunchtime rush, so will give them benefit of the doubt! Waitress otherwise was super sweet! Overall, loved the vibe and the food. Definitely planning to come back with my family—there’s something for everyone on the menu.
