Horseshoe at Hub RTP adds Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen to impressive culinary offerings

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Nov. 21, 2024 —Horseshoe at Hub RTP announces today that Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen is joining its standout retail lineup. Slated to open in 2025 in a 1,755-square-foot space, Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen will bring to Horseshoe its premium coffee beverages, which it is known for in shops located in the Triangle and on the coast of North Carolina, along with a curated selection of breakfast and lunch items.

Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen’s Horseshoe location will include seating for 50 people, both indoor and outdoor. Keeping convenience in mind for those working and living in RTP, Drift offers quick and easy online ordering through its website and app. This location will also feature delivery to nearby offices and apartments, plus accessible parking for quick order pick-up.

“At Drift, we inspire modern wellness through coffee, food, and connection, and we love that RTP is prioritizing all of those things. The community that is there now and being built at Horseshoe is exactly the type of place we want to be. We love that the goal of many people and businesses there is to further humanity and inspire progress. We will give them a place to unwind for a minute or connect outside of the office in a space that is equally inspiring and nourishing,” says Michael Powell, co-founder of Drift.

Horseshoe will be Drift’s ninth location. The company opened its first coffee shop in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C., in 2016 and has since added seven more locations in Wilmington, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

Drift’s menu at Horseshoe will include some of its signature breakfast items, including Avocado Toast, an Acai Bowl, Banana Bread (GF), and a Bodega Breakfast Sandwich, plus heartier lunch items such as the Chicken Pesto Bowl and Harvest Bowl. Drift will also offer smoothies in addition to its premium coffee, espresso, and tea.
