Our story

Good things take their time.

Drift began with a simple idea: bake the bread here, make the pastries by hand and create a place where the neighbourhood can slow down for a while.

We work with quality ingredients, long ferments and a seasonal point of view. The result is an everyday café that takes the details seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Kind words

“The sort of place where one coffee turns into breakfast and another pastry for the road.”

Ayesha K. · Salt Rock

“Beautiful bread, excellent coffee and a room that always feels welcoming.”
