Overview

After opening in the summer and several recommendations we finally managed to visit Drift. The views from the floor to ceiling windows are amazing (see photos). Unfortunately the entrance to coffee shop is not ideal for wheelchair users. There is a large step before you can enter through the doors. I had to be.bumped up the step in my lightweight manual wheelchair (like you would with a pram). I spoke to one of the members of staff about it and she said that they are expecting a delivery of a ramp. We visited Drift in January so I was a little worried it might be cold inside as is a converted sea container. I was pleasantly surprised when we got inside as it was cosy. They have heaters for the cold days and air conditioning for hot days. A member of staff did say it can still be very hot inside during the summer even with the air conditioning. Tea and cake with a beautiful view was lovely (see photo). There is a great selection of cakes (see photo). When we went it was not too busy and so there was room to move a wheelchair around but when it is busy (for example during the summer months) it can be a little tight for space. Although there are toilets there are no dedicated disabled toilets. We drove to Drift and parked in the makeshift car that’s just outside the venue. The car park is a little uneven and gritty. The venue is outside the centre of North Berwick and would take time to walk to. I would recommend a visit.
