Petone, New Zealand
Specialty coffee, roasted in small batches on Jackson Street. We source with care, roast with patience, and pour with purpose.
Explore the menuDrift began with a simple idea: slow down. In a world of instant everything, we wanted to create a space where coffee was something you lingered over — not rushed through.
We source beans from farms we've visited in Colombia, Ethiopia, and Guatemala. Every batch is roasted on-site in our Petone roastery, profiled to bring out the character of each origin. No shortcuts, no filler blends.
The cafe on Jackson Street is an extension of that philosophy — warm light, unhurried mornings, and a cup worth sitting down for.
Every bag tells you who grew it, where, and at what altitude. We pay above Fair Trade minimums because good coffee starts with fair relationships.
We roast to highlight, not to mask. Light to medium profiles that let the bean speak — stone fruit from Ethiopia, chocolate from Colombia, citrus from Guatemala.
Whether you're a first-time flat white drinker or a home-brewing obsessive, you belong here. Coffee should be welcoming, not intimidating.
From the Rodríguez family farm at 1,850 metres in the Huila department. Washed process, dried on raised beds. We roast it to a gentle medium — the result is clean, sweet, and layered.
