Drumlin — Restaurant in Shoreline

I keep an eye out for new places where I can get a cup of coffee and do a little writing. The other day, I saw a post about Drumlin adding morning coffee to their offerings. I added it to my list of places to try. This morning, it was at the top of the list, so I packed up my computer and headed out. It was a sunny morning and I enjoyed the short car trip. When I got there, I was happy to see that there was plenty of parking. The dining area is divided into a section of tables by the window, that would be nice places to eat. Next to that are a few tables that would work for couples or a small group to enjoy a drink and chat. There is a stage that has been taken over by a few couches. I took a spot there since that was the only place where I saw an outlet to plum in my computer. There is also a bar in the back that I want to try out (But not at 7 in the morning). The place was not too full, so the one woman at the counter was able to handle taking orders and making coffee. I ordered the largest latte they had. That turned out to be a 12 ounce double shot. I have a 8 ounce coffee cup at home that was my great grandfather's. I bring it out so we can joke about how much bigger coffee cups are these days. The cup I was offered seemed like a bit of a throwback. The latte made up for the size by being very tasty. While I worked, a few more people showed up, making the place feel like a nice neighborhood hang out. The people with laptops must have bigger batteries than mine. When I come back, I'll get here early to get a spot...

The Drumlin is exactly what you want in a neighborhood spot - good vibes, incredible food, and cocktails that actually make you pause to admire them before you take a sip.

We started with their whipped cheese toast with shaved manchego, black garlic, and balsamic. Sounds simple, but it was packed with rich, complex flavor and had that perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and savory. Honestly could’ve eaten another plate.

The drinks are where The Drumlin really flexes its creativity. The cocktail with the gold sugar rim andb speciality ice cube with sparkles was a standout - beautifully presented and even better tasting. They clearly care about both the craft and the experience for their customers.

The interior is cozy but stylish, with warm wood finishes and a bar that’s stacked with everything under the sun. The bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly without being overbearing.

Can’t wait to come back and try more off the menu. This place is an absolute win for the...

The food, drinks, and service were fantastic! Made for a very cute date night, but the prices were pretty high so unfortunately we won't be able to go regularly. Not unfair prices for the quality that was offered, but I'd love to see more affordable menu options or happy hour drinks so we could go out to our neighborhood restaurant more. It seemed a bit empty compared to next door which was packed, I want to see Drumlin succeed so my constructive criticism is that I think you'd get a lot more customers with some lower cost menu items. I wish I had the budget to try them all, because what I did get was sooo fantastic, and the portion size was generous enough that I was able to have it for lunch the...
