My daughter and I had a very delicious lunch burger, chips and salt and pepper calamari. The food was fresh and tasty. We also enjoyed a fresh juice of watermelon apple and pineapple. We definitely will be coming back again soon

The Driftwood Café is a very popular local cafe in Milton. Its best feature, in my opinion, is the large rear balcony area that looks out towards the ocean in the distance. Not exactly ocean views but definitely a very nice outdoor area with lots of seating and tables. A great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy the views. The food is okay and the coffee is great.

Nice little cafe with great terrace outside seating area, decent selection of coffee and food. 5 star rating for having the nicest staff taking care of a bag we left there accidentally with my wife's passport and wallet in it. Had to wait for a week before we could get back there form Sydney. They kept the bag and were extremely friendly to calm us down after thinking we lost my wife's identity.
