Are you looking for a great casual dining experience while in Margaret River?
Margaret River is such a great place - there is so much for the senses. Beautiful trees, amazing beaches, tracks to explore, the river to wander along, wineries and art galleries. Out of this area also comes outstanding locally grown and produced food and drink. This is what Drift Café aims to bring to you. Every dish, every element, that comes from the Drift kitchen is made onsite using local produce.


Start your day with one of their popular breakfasts, gather with friends over a lazy lunch or call in for great coffee. Drift Café, set in the converted Old Shire Library near the centre of town, is cosy and friendly, offering food that echoes the excellence of the region - they like to refer to it as ‘relaxed excellence’.


Owners Colin & Gaye McQueen consider themselves extremely fortunate to be able to combine their enjoyment of café dining and meeting people with being able to live in this part of the world. The style and feel of the café is very much a reflection of the owners, somewhere that they'd like to go themselves.


They also have a great team on board with an executive head chef who takes café food to the next level.  Baristas are trained at the WA Barista Academy to bring out the best of the Five Senses coffee beans with fresh grinds every time. 


Come along and enjoy it for yourself!

Was recommended to come here so we did & we weren’t let down. Tidy little venue with a few pre made breakfast options or a selection of cooked things. We ordered a shakshuka & breakfast wrap. Both items got to the table nice & hot, presented well. Got a seat outside, it was raining a bit but we were shielded from the wind & rain enough that it was still comfortable. Great experience overall & we’re keen to return & try some of the other menu items.

We ate here every breakfast during our recent Margaret River visit. The food, the ambience and the genuine vinyls playing great music were all plenty to keep us coming back. Service was friendly and meals came out quickly despite it always being busy with both locals and visitors. And if you like a pot of tea - Drift makes it exceptionally well, with the bonus it comes all wrapped up warmly in a colourful tea cosy!
