Best coffee on the Gold Coast! Fabulous flavour with hints of caramel, chocolate and blackcurrant. Driftwood you have spoiled me for any other coffee! I travel from Southport to Paradise Point gladly.

Driftwood shows that the simple things are the best. Super friendly staff (and customers), great food and service, the dogs favourite place and all for a price that you want to pay. The view is a winner too.

Love this cafe. If you enjoy laid back atmosphere, and great coffee you'll enjoy this place. Small range of food items and a few cakes on offer. Close to the boat ramp and Doris Gibbs Park.

Great location, great food, great coffee, great staff! So much better to enjoy a coffee tucked away from all the busy-ness of the main Paradise Point strip. Definitely give this cafe a go!

Lovely quiet park to have a stroll with your dog, sit witha coffee and gaze into the middle distance, lie on the grass outside and look at the sky through the trees.

Trent & team serve up the caffeine + B&E rolls right on the river. Local’s favourite early morning waterfront catch up spot.

This is a gem of a place! Top spot for coffee & light eats. Coffee is good! Food is good! Once you smell the bacon & eggs cooking you will want to get a bacon & egg roll! They never disappoint! A very relaxing & easy-going place to sit and watch the people & boats come and go. Staff are always happy & friendly.
