A hidden gem! This is such a fantastic spot, we stopped in for coffee and ended up getting some pastries too! I got one of their February latte specials- so delicious and the prices are fantastic especially for the area. Inexpensive coffee, nothing but great vibes inside, and very friendly staff. Cannot recommend this spot enough!

Inclusive environment for a great cup of coffee (or other hot beverage). More of a hot chocolate guy but the group really enjoyed their items. They have ample seating upstairs, main floor and even outside. Sounds like they have a steady stream of fun events during the week and on the weekend.

Stopped in for coffee on a Sunday morning for a cup of coffee. The coffee was good. I had a Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant which was excellent. On the messy side.The shop is super cute. It has a great local, Ferndale feel. I arrived on the earlier side, but as noon approached it was busy, and the seating was getting limited. There are tables to work, and a sitting area. There is a lot of outdoor space in the front and back. It was bit cold to sit outside today

I drive past this place often when I'm in the area, and I've wanted to stop in for a long time. I was completely without caffeination, so I finally did.The inside is extremely well done, and much more open-feeling than expected. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and made me feel welcome immediately. And to top it off, the iced chai latte I got was absolutely perfect.I will be coming back!

This cafe is such an amazing community spot! My partner has visited here multiple times, but today was my first visit. There is a lot of shaded outdoor space, so it's perfect for enjoying the weather. There are also two floors with ample seating. The workers were attentive and helpful. I got the iced Ugly Bastard, which is an iced mocha with some cream. It was super refreshing, creamy, and light on the chocolate. My partner got a cappuccino, and it has a great nutty flavor, something that I don't often taste in the espressos that I get from cafes.Drifter Coffee also hosts a lot of community events like outdoor yoga classes and offers to support local artists by letting them apply to have a stall at the cafe, which is really awesome.

I'll be honest, the coffee here just tastes, bitter. The staff isn't super helpful or very friendly.The space is always cold both heat wise, but also just feels unwelcoming

Ham and cheese croissant was really good, the blueberry cream cheese one was a little sweet for me & could use a little more cream cheese. It's decor is shabby chic/ urban garden, very cute. A little on the pricey side but I do like their chai teas.

Came here excited to try a new coffee spot and I can honestly say, I'll never go back. Ordered a toasted coconut latte and an almond croissant. The latte was much too sweet and the flavor was not great, so I asked them to exchange it for an iced coffee. I got in my car took one sip of the iced coffee and couldn't drink another, it was too bitter. Feeling defeated, I went to eat my croissant hoping to get the bitter taste out of my mouth and rather than it being flakey it was a goopy mess that I literally spat out my car window. Nothing here was drinkable or edible. Worst 15 bucks I ever spent. I won't be coming back here.

The order area is quite tiny. There's a shopping area that's bigger than order area. They have an area upstairs for sitting down. We ordered a Fraser tea bag green tea and an oatmeal latte (comes with only 2 for either a 12 ounce or 16 ounce) for $9.54. I asked for a print out as one slip of our order printed for the staff to make the order. I asked if I could get a physical copy for myself. The woman with the purple hair said no, they only provide a copy via email only. I literally saw a copy go to the staffer. I didn't believe her at all. The green tea is not special at all. The oat milk is average and not notable. The green tea isn't very good, take a pass. The staff taking the coffee orders and handing you your orders aren't warm or welcoming. The staff at the retail shop greeted us on our way out. They have a cozy and small upstairs area with bar stools, some tables and couch seating.

My seasonal latte and my croissant were absolutely delicious! They were well staffed and friendly enough, and the ambiance was lovely.
