Normally I absolutely love 7brew, from the drinks to the vibes. When I went today, however, the…read moreservice was terrible and the drinks were entirely subpar. First, we were skipped in line for ordering and when we got to the window we were questioned as to why we hadn't ordered - as if we chose not to order. Second, we tried to order dirty sodas. The servers looked confused when we asked for it, but when we clarified what we were asking for (and showed the advertisement flyer) the server nodded and rang us up for three dirty sodas. However, after a few minutes we were handed clear drinks which weren't anything close to a dirty soda (that comes with cola, in case someone reading this doesn't know what that is). When trying to tell them the drinks we received weren't what we were looking for, several workers argued with us. More than likely it is just a franchise difference, with different menus for different stands. I explained that I had had one at a 7brew in Virginia just two days prior - but instead of just explaining this, the workers said we were "victims of AI" and that no 7brew sells them. I understand not selling a certain item, but there was no need to argue or be rude. The drinks we DID get weren't very good, but that is probably just a personal dislike and the fact it wasn't what I was looking for rather than the actual drink being bad. The incorrect drinks would've been just fine if it weren't for the sour taste the terrible customer service left behind.

My family lives on the island so I've been coming to Drift for years. It's a bit pricey, but you…read morecan tell they use high quality ingredients and whoever curated the menu put a lot of time into it. The avocado toast, the veggie breakfast burrito, the coffee cake, the smoothies, and the iced black amber are my go to's and they never miss. The service is quick, even though I know they get crazy busy during the summer. As someone who understands service/cafe biz, I will always give leniency to workers who are busting it during high volume seasons. The people who don't understand that a wait will be expected when you have one good coffee shop on an island that hosts thousands of people every summer are dense. Be kinder to your service workers, people. The most recent time I visited Drift, I was excited to try the Acai bowl. After I ordered, I was told that unfortunately they were out of Acai. They refunded my money and I ordered a smoothie instead. I was ready to pay for my smoothie when the employee told me the smoothie was on the house since they were out of Acai. Great customer service. I've been visiting Ocean Isle since there were rinky-dink water slides in operation across from what is now Drift. It's been wonderful to see a successful, quality coffee shop on the island.

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.
