Drift Shoreham
About This Spot
Stepping into Drift Shoreham feels like finding a gentle pause in the rhythm of the day. Nestled on East Street, this coffee shop embraces a relaxed, neighborhood vibe that’s both welcoming and quietly vibrant. The hum of conversation merges with the comforting aroma of freshly ground coffee, creating a space where mornings unfold slowly and afternoons linger a little longer.
Drift’s atmosphere strikes a warm balance between the buzz of friendly chatter and moments of peaceful retreat. Whether you settle into the cozy indoor corners or claim a seat in their inviting outdoor area, there’s a sense of community woven through the space—one that encourages connection but never rushes it. The pace here respects your time, whether you’re catching up with a friend or stealing a moment just for yourself.
On the menu, familiar favorites take on a thoughtful, homely touch. Breakfast burritos come wrapped with a surprising burst of flavor, while the baristas craft each coffee with care—cappuccinos and mochas arriving just the right side of smooth and indulgent. Refreshing smoothies and warming chai lattes offer gentle companions for any time of day, and on warmer afternoons, ice cream provides a sweet, cool contrast to the coffee aromas.
The friendly, attentive staff add to the sense that this is more than just a stop for food and drink—it’s a spot where small moments gather meaning. The outward-facing windows and occasional sunny seating bring the seaside town’s fresh, open spirit inside, making Drift Shoreham a quietly joyful place to visit whenever your day calls for a break or a bite. It’s the kind of local gem that lingers in your memory, not for loud declarations, but for its steady kindness and thoughtful food rhythms.

Best new place in town! Staff are friendly and attentive. A great selection of food and drinks. We ordered a breakfast Burrito, Salmon Bagel with a Mocha Iced Coffee and Super Green Smoothy. Everything was delicious, the breakfast Burrito is a total game changer and the salsa really packs it with flavour! Lovely outdoor seating area especially on a sunny day, but if you'd prefer to stay away from the sun then the inside of this place is perfect for the occasion, a laid back feeling from all the natural wood and green plant decorations.

Great place! Staff are very welcoming. Great coffee and cakes highly recommend the almond croissant and the gingerbread cookie-fudge.There is ice-cream for hot days. There is room for more people but you will have to merge the tables which are set up for 2. There is more seating upstairs. There is a lunch menu. Thank you.

We had breakfast here and it was absolutely delicious!! We had a pineapple smoothie, a cappuccino, a plain croissant and an almond one It was so so good. The smoothie had pieces of fruit in it, the cappuccino was nice and warm. The place is super cute and we were able to sit outside Staff was so happy and friendly

As I entered drift this morning with a friend the place was buzzing and very busy. It's so obvious why... the service was amazing and the food was to die for. We both had poached eggs on sour dough/multi grain toast with crispy bacon and vine tomatoes. The best breakfast I've had for a very long time. Very well presented and served. I will definitely revisit. Thankyou

Stopped for lunch and coffee on Thursday, the breakfast wrap and the burrito bowl were both incredible! The passion smoothie was also delicious, so we came back today for more coffee and pastries too. Service is quick and friendly and a lovely atmosphere too :)

What a great find! There were many vegetarian selections thoughtfully and creatively put together with flavour. The Burrito Bowl with Halloumi was delicious. A spicy rice, black bean, avocado sour cream and fresh tomato salsa. Chipotle mayonnaise adding an extra spicy kick. Friendly service and relaxing surroundings. Fresh smoothies, tea and coffees. Ice cream available. I’ll return to try a breakfast! Go and visit. Good for walkers, cyclists and anyone in Shoreham.

great vibe and the food was really good! i had the open burrito bowl and it was beautifully presented and tasted really good (that’s coming from someone who detests avocado btw). would definitely come again as it’s a nice brunch spot with lots of vegetarian options :-)
