They have grab and go options, food, smoothies, açaí bowls, coffee drinks, matcha, teas, etc. Tons of options. There's table outside but no umbrellas (I'd like sun, as well as indoor counter space and tables. We ordered a regular coffee and an Americano. They know their magical bean juice. Delicious!!! Can't go wrong. We ordered a nutty açaí bowl (yummy and perfect portion), and a sandwich that I can't remember the name of - maybe the Cove. It's on fresh sourdough bread. Very tasty. Didn't wait long at all. Super nice people working there too. Greeted everyone and asked how things were. They also have some retail things available.

We had to wait about 10-15 mins for our bowls but they were well worth it. It gave a good impression considering they're newer and this busy! My husband got the 8 oz Carolina bowl (Ube sorbet with blueberries, banana, granola and honey on top) and I got the 16 oz Witches Rock (mango sorbet, granola, blueberries, pineapple, cocoa nibs, and honey) with matcha sorbet as well. For anyone who is hesitant to try new/different things, it is essentially a smoothie-granola bowl. The added toppings give the sorbet/smoothie extra texture, taste and nutrients. We were both pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our bowls! Aside from that they were not cheap, coming out to be about $10 each but everything was fresh and delicious so we will definitely be back again.

It wasn't until day 5 of our vacation that we were able to go & to our surprise - we'd driven by it every day going to Cherry Grove beach! It's truly a hidden gem! My husband and I are avid Açaí bowl fans & when I say this was the best we've ever had - I truly mean it! I would absolutely order their signature Shaka bowl again (and ask for extra PB & Nutella!). My advice is to get there RIGHT when they open! We did and we were so glad. The place really filled up! My only "con" is there's not any drinks - or much right nearby. So if you're a coffee person, bring your own! Do yourself a favor & check them out!

We chose Drift based on Yelp reviews and the menu choices available…read more It's a little coffe shop with a limited, but thoughtful, menu. The coffee was a good, bold brew. Mr. And I both ordered the market bowl. Quinoa, sweet potatoes, avocado, tomato, and a spring mix w a fried egg on top. It was beautiful! Then we bit into it. The sweet potato was barely on the brink of being frozen. The Quinoa was also cold...not just room temperature, but ice-cold! Avocado was way too cold as well. So, you can imagine what this did to the beautifully cooked egg... yep - turned it cold in a heartbeat. Really off-putting to bit into. Mr. went back inside and asked if they had a microwave to heat it up and the 'workers' just said that was they way it was supposed to be. Mr. tossed the entire thing in the trash and simply said "well, it's disgusting". You would think there would be a simple offer to heat it up, or some kind of remedy for the situation. They didn't give a crap. I'm pretty sure they flipped us the bird on the way out. Nice.

4.5 Overall - A real beach-feel taco shack, less than a block from the ocean. Outdoor seating (no…read moreindoors) and weathered wood lends authenticity to the Surf City vibe, but then one also needs to contend with the birds and heat (minus the ocean breeze). We drove here with friends from Jacksonville (NC) and experienced the food and service and, afterwards said we'd definitely return here. Why? Tacos. We ordered four - Tuna, Shrimp, Chicken, and Veggie- all on a soft corn tortilla. Each one packed a mouthful of flavor combinations that were distinct and memorable. My blackened and seared tuna took a different turn with the bacon, yet it melded well with the cabbage and the spicy mayo. My favorite - the blackened and grilled Shrimp taco - included Asian slaw and sweet chili sauce that complimented the char. Our friends ordered the seafood nachos which frankly looked liked the shrimp and other seafood were overwhelming the chips! If I had been hungrier, I would have ordered this monster! Soft drinks (Coke products), adult beverages, and "Sweet Treats" are also available. The bathrooms are inside the surf shop. Paid parking is right next to the store. (If a song could be adapted for this review, it would start, "Shaka, Shaka, Shaka, Shaka Tacos)

No issue with the wait and the servers and staff were working hard and kind. That said, the prices were high for what you got and not having cups for water increased the dissatisfaction. We did enjoy the chips and the red salsa was good however our meals outside that were fairly flavorless. Pretty sure the only thing that was raved about was the Sangria Slush. I'm a fan of doing something and doing it well but not so sure outside the slush or the shrimp taco what the signature dish is here but it wasn't the specials, the seafood nachos, the beef, ahi tuna tacos.

Price was a little expensive, but I think it is on par with Wilmington & health foods. I have a feeling they probably have a lot of regulars that come here who work in the shopping center or live in the apartments nearby. There are places to sit in case you want to, but I think most people grab their food to go. There's only one size of smoothie.
