Drift, the specialty-coffee café operating out of 363 S. County Road in Palm Beach, is opening a second location at 4919 S. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, according to an Instagram announcement from the operator. No opening date was included in the post.
The brand was founded by husband-and-wife team Lindsey and Josh — last names not provided in the announcement — who built the concept around specialty coffee, all-day breakfast and lunch service, smoothies, and pastries. Per the operator's Instagram, the South County Road location developed its following through what the founders describe as quality ingredients, welcoming hospitality, and a neighborhood-oriented approach that distinguishes it from chain café operations along the Palm Beach corridor.
The S. Dixie Highway address puts Drift inside a West Palm Beach commercial strip that has attracted a growing number of independent food and beverage operators in recent years, drawing from both the local residential base and traffic crossing the Intracoastal from the island. The operator's Instagram frames the expansion explicitly as a move "across the bridge" — a shorthand Palm Beach locals use for the shift from the island to the mainland — and states the new space will carry Drift's "signature menu and beach-inspired vibe."
No prior tenant at 4919 S. Dixie Highway was identified in the announcement, and no construction timeline, lease context, or design team was referenced. The original Palm Beach location remains open.
The S. Dixie Highway opening marks Drift's first confirmed expansion beyond its founding address and its first foothold in West Palm Beach proper. The operator has not announced additional locations or a formal growth plan, per available sourcing. An opening window and further operational details are expected as the buildout progresses.
