Drift Cafe Village Plaza

Loved the Drift locations when we lived in Wilmington. Was so excited to see a location open up here! It is so cute inside (and seating outside) and staff was so friendly. Only ordered to-go coffee, but the drinks are delicious. Will definitely be returning

5 star experience all around. The vibe, the atmosphere, the food, the people. I absolutely loved this place. When we pulled up, we noticed how new and clean everything seemed. Seeing as this place only had 11 reviews, I was a little scared to try it, but I love trying new places in new cities, so we dove in. Once inside, we waited by the front door to be seated. At first, the hostess went to seat us at a table for two in the middle of the room, but I asked to be seated near the window so that we could bask in the sunlight. Our server was Olivia. She was sweet, perky and full of recommendations. I finally decided on the iced mocha and the crispy potato brekkie with the aioli on the side. My husband had an iced chai and the breakfast burrito as a bowl. Holy moly, when I say 5 stars, I mean 5 stars. The flavors were phenomenal! My potatoes were topped with fresh oregano and this truly made the dish. Each bitr was crispy yet fluffy, the eggs were tender and light as air and the bacon wasn't salty and perfectly complemented the eggs. We had ketchup and hot sauce brought to the table, but it wasn't needed as everything was perfectly seasoned! I actually finished my entire bowl. I never eat all my food at a restaurant, so that's how you know that was good. If I come back to the area, this will be the first place I stop!

Very cute cafe with amazing food! I was around the area picking up some groceries, and I heard from a couple friends about this new cafe that opened up. We came around 12:30 which was peak brunch time, and we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for a seat to open up. Make sure to hop on a waitlist beforehand on Google or on Yelp to minimize your wait time. After waiting and getting seated, we were greeted by such a kind waitress named Olivia (give her a raise)! She was delightful, so kind, and really pretty! All of the items on the menu looked delicious, so we had a difficult time choosing. I opted for the breakfast burrito with the dressed greens. After waiting a decent amount of time for our food (maybe we were just hangry), the food finally came. It was so so good! The breakfast burrito was filled with scrambled eggs, pulled pork, onions, and a lot of avocado! The tortilla itself was not too thick, which I enjoyed. It was very flavorful inside. The only complaint I have was that some bites were a little bit salty, and the contents inside the burrito weren't distributed well enough. But nonetheless, it was a delicious meal. I would definitely come back for another brunch excursion to try some of their other dishes!

Brand new breakfast/coffee spot in Chapel Hill. The place has an open concept feel with big windows and an outside patio. The place is new so everything looks great. Service was fast and I got seated right away. I did go early in the morning so there was hardly anyone there. The menu has a variety of options for everyone. From breakfast to brunch and lunch. Also, it has a few kid friendly breakfast options (eggs, french toast, pancakes) which is very nice.I ordered the Avo Toast and added an egg to it (scrambled). It was a fairly big portion. Loved the presentation of the plate when it came to the table and most importantly, it was delicious.I also ordered a latte.It's definitely worth checking out.

Beautiful place, a new cafe in the neighborhood. Great ambience and nice coffee but the best part was the barista, Zak! What a fun and knowledgeable guy, enjoyed talking to him, knows what he's doing. Will definitely come back for the food as well as the kitchen closes at 3 pm.

Bright airy atmosphere with a cheerful staff. You are permitted to pull out your laptop to work-- just no outlets!

Great Sunday brunch today seated outside on the patio. Love that there is a kids menu and such a wide variety of delicious options. Service was attentive and the space is so light and airy. Everything was fresh and delicious! A welcome addition to chapel hill!

Cute place. All issues are likely due to it being new. The waitress was sweet but got everything wrong. Coffees came out wrong. And we waited 45 minutes for food that came out cold. I hope they get out the kinks because it's a cute place with a fun menu.

Great food and service.. our party of four enjoyed each dish. I love the gluten-free bowl... Each part was absolutely delicious.

This new cafe is still working out the 'new cafe kinks'. Service on an early Saturday morning was uneven but friendly and willing. Two of our four orders had to be 'adjusted': bacon was barely cooked, greens were put on one plate, rather than the potatoes which were ordered, poached eggs ordered soft came out hard. Barista seemed to still be getting familiar with the menu, as our cappuccinos (1 decaf) (1 regular)came out long after other coffee drinks were served to later arriving customers. Still the friends we brought felt they would come to the cafe again. Nice outdoor dining area adjacent to restaurant, which will be better used when the weather cools off.
