Deli aDrift is a small cafe located on the corner of Veivers Road and Williams Esplanade in Palm Cove. Slightly set back from the beach, it offers breakfast and lunch options as well as a Deli, primarily aimed at guests for the hotel complex. There are also a small range of cakes and sweet offerings to tempt you if you're having a mid morning coffee, something to replenish the sugars if you've had a hard day relaxing by the hotel pool or the Palm Cove beach.
The mood is gentle, no booming music and the ambience is one of peaceful enjoyment. Sitting options are both in and out, though the space in either is not large.

Excellent cafe on the corner with stunning views. Coffee is excellent, and the menu is extensive. Particular highlight is the antipasto platter. They also did a great banoffee pie as a special in the past. Sangria jug was great but over $50, it is stretching the friendship.
Service can be a little slow when busy but always friendly.
A lovely place to watch the world go by.

The Il Forno story dates back to 1992 when a family of restauranteurs traded a hectic Sydney lifestyle for the soft sandy beaches and tropical greenery of Palm Cove.
The area’s only genuine Italian pizzeria was established and has been serving up delicious traditional food to locals and visitors ever since.
In 2017, Il Forno was bought by a family friend and born-and-bred Roman chef called Luca. With the change of ownership came Luca’s passion for Italian and Mediterranean food, his knowledge of long-held family recipes and love of using only the best and freshest produce.
