Why it's worth checking out
Drift sits at The Bluff Beach in Devonport, close to the water and looking across Bluff Beach and the headland. It is a beachside café and restaurant built around relaxed breakfast, brunch and lunch visits, with coffee available for a slower catch-up or a takeaway stop.
The menu runs seven days and focuses on locally sourced Tasmanian produce. Alongside the dine-in breakfast, brunch and lunch offering, Drift also serves takeaway Fish + Chips through its Drift-Away menu. The website does not provide a fuller list of dishes, so the emphasis here is on the setting, the broad day-to-day offering and the chance to enjoy a casual meal near the beach.
The outdoor space includes a lawn where guests can relax and play lawn games while watching the waves. That makes Drift a practical choice for families and groups of friends, as well as anyone after coffee or a meal in an easy-going coastal setting. Drift is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and coffee seven days a week, from 6:30am to 4:00pm; takeaways are available only from 3:00pm. You will find it at 41 Bluff Road, Devonport.
