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.

We love driving out to Drift: the scenery on the way is excellent, and the view from their windows is epic. The food is also five stars, whether it’s a meal or one of their tasty cakes. It’s always a treat for us when we go.

This has a spectacular location and understated facilities. Our Portobello mushroom burger was underwhelming. The full breakfast was excellent. The venison pastrami sandwich good. It took 50 mins to come post ordering - too long. The carrot cake delicious. The building is simple - I love that. Maybe keep the menu less complicated so that the kitchen can cope with the orders.
