First time eating here, just had a coffee and tea cake and can honestly say it was one of the nicest I’ve ever had! Will definitely return! Really nice looking cafe that does breakfast and Tapas.

Whether you're looking for a quick coffee before work, or a relaxing breakfast, lunch or tapas sharing plates in the evening with friends or family, Driftwood is the perfect hangout. With its relaxed coastal vibe, inspired by Maldon's location on the Blackwater estuary, Driftwood has something for everyone. Fully licensed, there’s a great selection of beers and wines waiting for you.
And we are dog-friendly during the day, and outside for the evenings.
Located in Wenlock Way, you’ll find us just a stone's throw from the High Street and the Butt Lane car park on our doorstep. Whether you take a seat inside or in the courtyard, the Driftwood team will provide a warm welcome.
