I've made the switch from Starbucks and haven't looked back. Drinks and vibe are great

They have a lot of unique coffee flavors and some seasonal specials. The coffee was really good as were the scones. We were there mid Sat morning and it wasn't too busy. Unfortunately the staff wasn't very welcoming and it felt like we were inconveniencing them when asking for things. With that being said, a lot of regulars came in and you could tell they loved the place and had a little more of a warm welcome than we did.

A cute little coffee shop close to Gabriel Park and Multnomah Village. The inside is cozy and inviting. Over the coffee bar, there is a ladder decorated with pieces of wood, and on the wall, painted skateboards. There is seating inside at several tables or on a small couch. There are also a few tables outside, however, if you choose to sit outside, you will be looking at a parking lot. I ordered a Hot Girl Summer, a cold brew with additional macadamia nut and caramel flavoring and coffee ice cubes. Driftwood has a great variety of syrups, specialty drinks, and a food such as bagels, Bobs Red Mill oatmeal, and breakfast sandwiches. In addition to selling coffee and food, there is a wall with necklaces, earrings, small bags, and coffee mugs. I love the vibe here, but I wish they were open a bit earlier so I could get my morning cup of coffee before work!

Driftwood is a fantastic community coffee shop. Wonderful staff and owner. They make great coffees and teas. Also great Hot Chocolate. They also have a variety of pastries. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating.

Stopped in for a baked good and drink this morning. Super cute decor, good vibe, and friendly service. We got a lemon blueberry poppy seed muffin, a granola bar, and a Bob's Red Mill oatmeal with a caffeine free chai and caffeine free green tea. Great selection of local baked good, items to shop, and drinks. Love that they offer so many caffeine free options and emphasize locally made products and goods. Can't wait to come back and try some more goodies!

I stopped in here to hang for a bit before my doctor appointment down the street and the first thing I noticed was how many regulars there were. The barista was greeting the majority of people by name and to me that's a good sign as it's obvious this place has returning customers. I got an americano and it was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they also serve Petunia's baked goods which are vegan and GF! I didn't opt for one this morning but I'll be back again for sure. Plenty of seating inside and a couch if you want to get cozy.

Cute place but there was only 1 person working on a busy Saturday morning. Tasty scones but long wait.

Hello,
I was so excited to try a new local coffee spot with old friends today and when we arrived we loved the energy, atmosphere and one person show. I loved how the person working there was doing everything and I thought we picked the perfect spot.
We went on to order coffees and breakfast and sat down at a table. Meanwhile, I had my service animal with me the whole time, we stayed for an hour and upon leaving I was looking to put my dishes away and when I asked the employee they gave me a snarky attitude and then rudely stated "we don't allow dogs here." And I replied with "no worries he's my service animal. Would you like to see his card. " And the employee rolled their eyes at me and walked away. It felt passive aggressive, rude and ridiculous that they waited an hour after taking our money to say what they wanted to say.
Basically I will never come back.
That is enough to leave a terrible taste in my mouth and it is a horrible way to communicate with others. There isn't even a sign on your establishment that says no dogs.
I truly hope you find a better way to treat people with disabilities.
Day: Thursday September 22 we were there from 11:11-12:30pm.
Sincerely,
Sasha Harvey (She/They)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Feb 7, 2022
Can you say coffee ice cubes? Yes, when I ordered my drink, the barista asked me if I prefer regular ice cubes versus coffee ice cubes. The more coffee the better, so this was a no brainer, but unexpected and pleasant offering.
Located near, but not quite in the center of Multnomah Village, this coffee shop is closer to the local elementary and high school in a small parking lot.
They have a typical selection of coffee with some pastries as well as a random selection of sundries/craft items.
I had an iced vanilla latte with coffee ice cubes. The big benefit here is that when the ice cubes melt, the drink doesn't get that watered down. Nicely made with a good taste.
The barista was friendly and answered all our questions about the area as we had never been to the neighborhood before.
Ambience is OK. There is a couch at the front that looks out the front window as well as multiple tables along the wall. Could be a good place to study.
Definitely a nice spot to stop by to grab a cup of coffee.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Tom P.OR, OR02Jul 15, 2023
Amazing cafe! Wonderful friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, and phenomenal coffee. Great food options too, my wife and I had breakfast sandwiches and pastries, and they made for a tasty breakfast.
Absolutely loved my iced latte, perfectly crafted. We will definitely be returning here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
