DDriftwood Café

How Driftwood washed ashore

Driftwood started in 2015 as a bread stall at the Saturday market — two folding tables, forty loaves, sold out by ten. When the old bait shop on Pierhead Walk came up for lease, we took the hint. Ten years on, we're still small on purpose: one oven, one espresso machine, and a menu that follows the seasons and the boats. If the blackberries are ripe on the Ferry Trail, you'll know it from the pastry case.

The people behind the counter

June Park

June Park

Co-owner & Head Baker

June lights the ovens at four and decides the pastry case by feel. Her grandmother's plum jam recipe is on every table — and no, she won't share it.

Theo ran espresso bars in Seattle for a decade before trading rush hour for the ferry schedule. He personally trains everyone who touches the machine.
