People come from near and far to eat, drink and bliss out at 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.
Make Drift your destination.
Our food journey.
All our food – from cakes and scones to soup, brunch and more – is lovingly made by us, often using recipes that have been in the family for generations. Everything on our breakfast, brunch and lunch menu is cooked to order, and we use as much Scottish produce as we can.
Our menus inside and out change with the seasons making the most of Scottish produce throughout the year. Our carefully crafted dishes use some of the finest ingredients from East Lothian and around Scotland.
Eating Outside and Takeaway Trailer.
Established in the summer of 2020 our eating outside and takeaway trailer was introduced to provide a service to customers looking for a quick bite to eat. In 2024 we added a further hot food trailer allowing us to expand our menu. On offer are sweet and savoury, eat on the go snacks, ice cream and hot and cold drinks. In addition our take on a burger and other hot food including the mighty chip alongside the ever popular Bacon and Drift rolls can also be ordered and enjoyed alongside our coffee and freshly baked cakes from our bakery.
All food is made lovingly in the Drift kitchen, sourced from local and Scottish producers and depending on ingredients in season soup, and some cake flavours will change.

Furry friends
We love dogs, however due to the intimate and limited area we do not allow dogs inside. You’re very welcome to bring them when you’re sitting at our picnic tables outside which have hooks under the seats to keep them safe.
Looking to exercise your dog? Book a slot at our Dog Park, Seek opposite the cafe.
Seasonal Menu.
With the change of season comes a change in DRIFT’s menu with between 90-95% of produce from around Scotland. Our links with farmers within the Agritourism sector remain strong and many products are supplied through them.
Each menu promises a point of difference, drawing on round the world flavours whilst continuing to focus on Scottish influences too. Brunch, lunch, sides and a land meets sea focus all made to order. Complete a meal with our banana bread special, a slice of cake, biscuit or traybake.
