About
We are a coffee-centric establishment. Whether you crave a black coffee with lots of sugar for your morning commute, want to relax while sipping an afternoon espresso in our shop, or would prefer to enjoy your iced vanilla latte while lying on the beach... We are confident you will be happy with your selection. This is not to say that coffee is all we do. We have a great selection of fresh baked goods and desserts from local bakeries, a nice selection of teas and other drinks, and a menu that will gradually expand as we figure out what to offer next.

I have become a connoisseur of Chai Tea Latte, and Drifting Grounds has the best anywhere. In addition, the staff is always friendly, welcoming, helpful, and highly skilled in all they do. I time my day around getting my daily Chai at Drifting Grounds.

This well-liked coffee house is now located further west on Rt 26 in Ocean View, across from the Lord Baltimore Elementary School 117 Atlantic Ave, Ocean View, DE 19970 They are currently operating out of a yellow trailer and the coffee is still as great as at the Bethany location. I always get either hot or iced mocha. It is the best I've had anywhere. And is the benchmark that I used to measure any other coffee house.

Strange that I'm writing a review for a coffee shop in DE but it's a few days later and we are still talking about the amazing coffee from our recent trip. Might be worth a trip back here- JUST to get coffee here. Highly recommend.

This is a great place to grab a fresh cup of coffee, brewed teas and a bite to eat. It's also a great atmosphere for meeting clients.

Whenever possible, I prefer local coffee shops to chain stores so I was really looking forward to checking this place out. The cafe is located in a little strip mall so it was easy to find and there was lots of parking (this was in the off season, not sure about how busy it gets in the summer months). They serve coffee from Homestead Roasters and the cold brew I got was very good. Hubby and I decided to split a breakfast sandwich and went with the egg and cheese with ham which was okay, I just wish that you had the option of not having peppers in your egg but I guess they have everything mixed up ahead of time. I did like the "feel" of the place, puzzles on coffee tables in front of comfy chairs, books to borrow, basically what I envision a perfect coffee house to look like. They do have pastries and other baked goods including gluten free options and soups (which I definitely plan on going back for). The staff is really friendly and it's a great place to sit back and enjoy a leisurely coffee.

Last I reviewed Drifting Grounds was in 2016...but this place is still excellent. Great, friendly staff, very good coffee and some nice simple food and pastry options. Their jalapeño egg sandwich was awesome - in my opinion probably the best version of an egg sandwich on an English muffin!! Will definitely keep on coming here.

I pop in here every year I visit Bethany and the coffee is always hot and satisfying. That's saying a lot, as coffee-heads know, its hard to find a good cup far from home.

Drifting Grounds had a nice vibe and appeared to be a popular place among locals. The service was friendly and prompt. The caramel latte was very good, in fact, memorable. I would definitely visit again. It is on the way out of Bethany Beach so it was a little crowded.

This is by far the best coffee house at the Delaware beaches. Nothing in Lewis, Dewey, Rehoboth or Fenwick come close. It has great coffee, excellent service, fresh baked muffins, scones and pastries made on the premises and a comfy atmosphere. It is great for rainy days, a respite from a house too full of family or just your morning coffee to get you going. They also make great smoothies and shaken iced teas. All at a reasonable price compared to the “ Big City” coffee barons. Try it - you will not be disappointed !

We came in right at closing time without realizing it. I hate doing that to businesses and was turning around to head out but the owner of the shop welcomed us to stay and enjoy some coffee. We had two wonderful espresso macchiatos- awesome coffee. Very friendly and warm small business! WIsh we had come in for breakfast because they had some awesome looking food as well.

Tucked in one of the many little strip malls...this little place has some excellent coffee. The staff here is super friendly and helpful. They have a limited food menu but the offerings are affordable and flavorful. Cappuccino is usually my go to when going to a coffee shop...really enjoyed the food and drink here. Will be back.

I'm always greeted by a warm, smiling staff member. Even though it gets loud, it's still a wonderful place for one on one get togethers or small meetings. And there's lots of little things the staff thinks of to take care of patrons which is appreciated. Just walking in makes me feel more positive about tackling the day!

After church and a bike ride we gathered at Drifting Grounds to enjoy Coffee and a light breakfast. Our large group was easily accommodated and we felt welcomed to stay all morning. We didn't, but we could have. The coffee and drinks were expertly prepared and delicious. I may go back tomorrow.
