Drift

Nice, atmospheric cafe on the beach. Bustling on Easter Sunday. Excellent coffee and friendly service. Seated and served quickly. Ok value. Easy location after arriving on overnight sail from Geelong. We had eggs Benedict and zucchini pea and quinoa fritters with crispy prosciutto and kale. The prosciutto was not crispy and the meal as a whole was wet, eg wet kale, eggs not drained off well and a touch undercooked for my taste but tasted ok. Chose the fritters because almost everything else on the menu was sourdough heavy, and big thick slices. No lower carb options presented.

The service was excellent. The seafood chowder could have used a bit more fish flavor, but the gummy shark was quite delicious. The desserts were creative! I enjoyed the place and the view was beautiful.

Great views combined with lovely food. Had the chicken focaccia which was very tasty and the squid salad was cooked perfectly. Will visit again for sure to try a breakfast dish.

Straight off the Spirit of Tasmania, when coffee is needed, Drift was a great place for that! Melbourne worthy coffee, and their large is actually a large! We ordered eggs Benedict with a side of haloumi. Haloumi was fried which was something a bit different and extremely salty but I really enjoy that. Right on the water, it was also right next to Mersey Bluff lighthouse and we did a really nice walk from Drift to there. Would come back 😊

Amazing spot for breakfast. Food was amazing, service was friendly and quick, one of the best black coffees I’ve had. Highly recommend

The Drift is the perfect location for an early breakfast or a weekend brunch!! The smashed pumpkin poached egg or the homemade granola and yogurt were very delicious. As you enjoyed your food overlooking the harbour. Service by Dane and Noah was terrific!! If you are in the area, please sure to check this place out!!

We enjoyed a sunrise breakfast at Drift right after stepping off the SOT. The coffee and service were pretty good. Location is absolutely amazing. The food was delicious but just fell short on the serving size for us. My breakfast was described as “waffles” only to be served as a waffle. Considering the price point we expected a little more on the plate.

Seriously please change your website hours says you open till 11 pm but if you not there by 8.30 then one cannot have a meal. Hey Devonport wake up you guys won't survive. Is this island that backward

Very pleasant and modern decor. Relatively extensive menu. Friendly service. Overlooks the Bluff Beach and the moody Bass Strait. Outdoor dining all year round but at its most pleasant in the summer months. A big favourite of mine when I'm in Devonport.
