Drift Kitchen

Drift Kitchen is a neighbourhood café in Scarborough, Perth, built around coffee, brunch and takeaway options. The venue describes itself as a walk-in café and eatery, making it a straightforward choice for a relaxed breakfast, lunch or coffee stop without needing to plan ahead. Its menu covers familiar café fare alongside more distinctive combinations, with options for lighter, vegetarian and plant-based choices.

Breakfast highlights include smashed avocado with whipped feta, adobo and greens; zucchini and corn fritters served with dill yoghurt, halloumi, avocado and egg; and shakshuka with spiced tomato and capsicum sauce, beans, feta and poached eggs. There are also eggs prepared to order, eggs Benedict with a choice of accompanying ingredients, spicy scrambled eggs and house-made granola. For something sweet, the menu includes berry-topped pancakes with ice cream and maple syrup, while the pulled beef brisket burger provides a heartier option.

Coffee is a central part of the offering, ranging from espresso-based classics and loose-leaf tea to iced drinks, matcha, chai, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and milkshakes. Specialty drinks listed on the menu include iced pandan matcha, iced strawberry matcha and an iced pandan latte. Takeaway is available, so the café can work equally well for a quick drink, a meal on the move or a slower sit-down visit.

The space has a Scandinavian-inspired style and a relaxed atmosphere, with a dog-friendly courtyard that offers shade and partial weather cover. Multiple alfresco areas provide extra seating, and the café says its full breakfast menu is also served through neighbouring SKØL. Families are catered for with a children's menu featuring porridge, fruit, bacon and eggs, or pancakes with maple and fruit. For larger breakfasts or private gatherings, the dining room can be booked for groups of eight to 15, while larger functions can be discussed directly with the venue. With its walk-in format, outdoor seating and broad breakfast menu, Drift Kitchen suits solo coffee stops, casual catch-ups and family visits in coastal Scarborough.
