What a great find! Food was delicious we had the banquet and were not disappointed by the amazing flavours and great variety! The staff were super easy to deal with when making a booking, and were warm and welcoming throughout the night! They also had a local live music night which was great as well! This is a must visit place if your in Scotts head! Thank you!!

This seems to be one of the popular eating places at Scotts Head. We only had coffee there & have to say it was pretty good, we ordered double shots. The service was friendly & we sat outside with dog under the verandah. There's also seating inside

Stopped here for breakfast on a road trip. Great little cafe with friendly staff and nice food. Well worth a visit. Try the Reuben sandwich or the ham and cheese toasty.

Absolutely delicious! We arrived in Scott’s Head late and hungry! Thankfully we walked into Driftwood and were greeted immediately by a lovely waiter. We ordered the bouillabaisse and the lamb, both were exceptional. Had we stayed longer every meal would have been here, the food coming out of the kitchen is fresh, inspiring and downright yummy! For those complaining about slow service, this was not our experience, however, this is a small town with minimal options, if you choose the best then a little wait is nothing! Relax, enjoy the atmosphere, the food and staff are worth it!

What a delightful café have we just discovered. You must come here, if you are in the area. No photos today, but this is our food stop every time on our journey. And we are never disappointed. Just HOW great is this, not using takeaway coffee cups. Till next time! And yes, in case you are wondering, The coffee is excellent.
