What we do

Good coffee, real food, and a seat by the window.

Specialty coffee

House-roasted single origins and a silky signature blend, poured by baristas who actually care.

All-day brunch

From the big breakfast to corn fritters and acai bowls — served till close, because brunch has no rules.

House-baked goods

Sourdough, croissants and that banana bread people drive across town for. Baked fresh each morning.

Weekend long lunches

Local wine, share plates and a sunny courtyard — the kind of lunch that turns into the afternoon.

Dietary friendly

Plenty of gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options — just ask, we've got you.

Catering & events

Grazing boxes, coffee carts and function bookings for your next get-together.

Our story

Built on good mornings.

Family-owned · beachside

We opened The Driftwood with one idea: a proper neighbourhood café where the coffee's excellent, the welcome's warm, and you never feel rushed. Everything that can be made in-house, is. Pull up a stool, meet the regulars, and stay a while.

Cosy, welcoming and genuinely great food. Feels like your kitchen, if your kitchen had a brilliant barista.
