About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for brunch
  • Innovative
People come from near and far to eat, drink and bliss out at Scottish Thistle Award winning Drift, a unique coffee house with breathtaking views over unspoilt miles of Firth of Forth coast and the Bass Rock. Drift is perfect for walkers, cyclists, day trippers and tourists (we’re half a mile away from Tantallon Castle) and very popular with locals too. Everything is freshly made, and, as a farm diversification business born out of a passion for food and drink, we love strengthening the connections between the land, sea and the table.

    Always pay Drift a visit when we go to North Berwick as it never disappoints. Food is always amazing so is the service. 😁

    Definitely worth a visit, but book before you go so you're not disappointed. We had a lovely side window view on a beautiful day and the food was very good. This is my second visit and would come again when in the area. Staff really nice too. Very clean.

    Undoubtedly a stunning setting but we were asked to leave before our promised 90 minute slot which meant we didn’t have the time to order the coffee and cake we wanted. Toilets dirty. Egg and halloumi in breakfast overdone. When I complained about the table I was told I could be moved elsewhere!
