"The Driftwood Café is a very popular local cafe in Milton. Its best feature, in my opinion, is the large rear balcony area that looks out towards the ocean in the distance. Not exactly ocean views but definitely a very nice outdoor area with lots of seating and tables. A great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy the views. The food is okay and the coffee is great."
