A plant-filled lounge with woven pendants and a hanging rattan chair, looking out tall windows onto Central Avenue.

A neighborhood coffee shop, run like family.

Driftwood is a brother-and-sister team, Greek, born and raised just up the road in Seminole. They built a coffee shop around one idea: a place that is welcoming to all, where good drinks bring people together.

Pull up to the bar or sink into a couch, meet a neighbor over a game of chess, and stay as long as you like. As they put it: Bula, to long life and good health.

Driftwood’s drum coffee roaster beside wooden barrels labeled Guatemala, Colombia, and Brazil.

Roasted in house, bean by bean.

We bring in green coffee from Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Brazil, then hand-inspect every bean before it goes into the roaster.

Everything is roasted right here, from a light roast to a dark espresso, so the coffee in your cup was roasted close to the day you drink it.

  • Colombia
  • Guatemala
  • Ethiopia
  • Brazil
