Drifter Coffee

Went here for an event in the back area. Very nice set up. I went in and tried an iced tea with sweet cinnamon and toasted coconut syrup. It was very good. Definitely recommend if in area. It's super cute inside and out too. They have bees housed outside in the front, a cute mural painted on the side, a cool lounge area with a hammock on the side and seating around the side and back of the building with wildflowers and such. Lights strung about that lights up the area and give a great ambiance at night. Very cool vibe. Nice hang out joint.

Great coffee shop. Excellent brews for some of the best value you’ll find today. All employees were kind and polite. Lovely location with tons of places to sit inside and out. First time in, will be back plenty

I love, love, love their lattes with their house made syrups. Sometimes I have ordered a new flavor worried it was going to be too sweet, but I have yet to have that be the case! And it's so cute inside! If you're driving here, just make sure you check whether the train is operating because I've gotten stuck by the train getting home before (not Drifter's fault tho).

The only negatives: I wish they had more seating (literally impossible, they have used as much of the building space as they can, this is just my pipe dream of wanting more, lol), and I wish there were more """regular""" easy food choices - I'm a really picky eater and it's tough to find options that AREN'T touting some kind of dietary restriction convenience... it's great that this exists and I am happy about it!! But also, it's so hard to go there and have a regular ol' croissant - most of the time they're sold out of those, and everything else has like. Spices on it. Where is a simple, cheap choco chip cookie when you need it... Anyway, service is fantastic, 10 out of 10 stars, I'm platonically in love with all of the baristas and everybody else who helps out in the building - I've been dragging my partners here for years at this point ?!? and I still don't know anybody's names, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask but we've allllmost made it to the part where the baristas occasionally remember our milk preferences thank you, guys!! This location has a single-stall restroom (with lots of fun decor!), has a wheelchair ramp inside the building for ease-of-access to the main floor, has a second story for more 'comfortable' living room-esque seating, and this building frequently hosts weekend and weekday group get-togethers for local artists and stuff like that. A real eclectic coffee shop - the vibes are immaculate. There's art for sale by local creators, and there's always advertisements for the next fun thing to do on one of the boards. The baristas are friendly, seem to all like working together (almost no turn-over?!? amazing), and every visit is a delicious cup of coffee.

I work out in the community often doing home visits and today needed a place to stop close by, between visits. This was the best little gem to find! It was so quiet, which was great to allow me to do some work. I loved all the fun colors and decor. I was distracted by the items for purchase near the counter, and I was really excited to get rid of some books that have been taking up space in my car needing a home in a little free library. I ordered a pumpkin chai, which was fantastic! Really hoping to come back if I am in this area again.

Great little coffee shop. Love the facility tucked in among the old businesses. Says they're moving. Too bad because it really is an eclectic little space. Very friendly staff. Good parking. Easy in and out. Good prices for a good drink.

What a beautiful, cozy, and warm coffee shop! Not only professional sweet service, but DELICIOUS coffee & CROISSANT to die for too! Staff greeted me with a smile once I walked in, asked how am I doing, then directly it felt like home. A place to chill, relax, enjoy coffee and company and you dont think of any problems. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great experience!

The cutest Ferndale establishment!! Also the coffee is fantastic. The staff is so friendly. Good vibes all around. No blasting music, perfect ambiance for cozy vibes or getting some work done. They have an outdoor area with hammocks and tables.
