  • “I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had, what I would call, a genuine "full blown food experience.” One of those moments has been eating a Tempeh Reuben Sandwich at Drifter Ferments in Warwick.”

    — Linus Roache

  • "Really special place serving thoughtful, delicious, nourishing food. We loved the house-made tempeh - such a different beast than commercial! My kids and I palmed the assorted pickle plate. And how lovely to find things we never find in these parts, like house-made amazake."

    — Genevieve Lawlor

  • "Tempeh is the best I've ever had and the bread is incredible. Everything is so fresh and you can practically taste the love that goes into each and every sandwich. My favorite place to eat in Warwick!"

    — Tara Rogic

  • "Drifter has the best pour over coffee in Warwick and a killer thick Rueben! All ingredients made in house. Her knowledge and passion for fermentation and ethical organic sourcing is above and beyond. Come here for a new food experience!"

    — Pheo Powers LMC, CHC
