She is a true master of her craft.Some points to share: whilst the menu is very comfortable for vegans/vegetarians Tara has whole milk in addition to nut milks for drinks; ask what special treats Tara has when you go in so you don't miss her housemade tepache, kombucha, baked goods, or popsicles; you can ask Tara to bake you a full loaf of her sourdough (you'll be ruined for other bread after you taste hers)!; I have brought my own cup to reduce waste and Tara was happy to use my own mug.Tara's quiet hospitality and intention is something you can *feel* when you visit Drifters.

The coffee and non-coffee drinks are always excellent but today I got the BBQ special tempeh sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had- and that's including before I became a vegetarian. I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to write this immediately after. Yes, you may have to wait a little bit. To me that is a sign of good quality. Everything is homemade and, trust me, it's worth the wait. I'm so excited to go back and try someone else!
