Drifter Coffee opens its new Ferndale shop
Ferndale's Drifter Coffee's new shop on Woodward Heights Boulevard is up and running. Owner Alleah Webb held a soft opening last week and is currently rolling with a limited menu, but she plans to roll out the full menu during a weekend-long grand opening party on Saturday and Sunday.
Coffeehouses, bakeries and restaurants top the list of new places open or coming soon to southeast Oakland County.
Drifter Coffee is opening its first brick-and-mortar store at 770 Woodward Heights, in the Iron Ridge District in April, said Brooke Gieber, spokesperson for Iron Ridge Holdings LLC. Owner Alleah Webb launched Drifter in 2015 as a mobile “coffee caboose,” housed in a vintage 1971 trailer known for popping up in farmer’s markets, weddings and other events in Detroit.
