Coffee was good, and the meals were great value for money. The vegetarian big breakfast was amazing! Toilets were clean as well.

We had breakfast at Driftwood Cafe on both days we spent in Cooktown. Loved the view out to the esplanade and the ambience. Staff were very courteous, and all the food was great. Would definitely recommend any of their freshly made juices, especially the 'rooted '.
