Hello, and welcome to the Driftwood journal.

We’ve talked about starting one for a while. Now we are. This is the place for the things we love — coffee, food, events, and the slow life of a small coastal café.

What to expect

Recipes & baking — Anna and Erik share what they actually make at home, from the morning loaf to seasonal surprises.

Behind the counter — How an event comes together, what arrives with a delivery of fresh-roasted beans, the corners of the café we are working on.

Local stories — We like to lift up the neighbours, the makers, and the small initiatives that make Cove Bay feel like home.

Tips & guides — How to pick a coffee, what a flat white actually is, why matcha is worth the fuss.

If you want to contribute

Have a local story we should write about? A café memory you want to share? Get in touch at hello@driftwoodcafe.example — we love hearing from you.

See you at the counter, and here in the journal.

— Anna, Erik & Sara
