DRIFTWOOD KITCHEN – Seafood
Driftwood Kitchen sits quietly on Beach Lagoon Road inside Amelia Island Plantation, overlooking the shaded ponds, and runs as an early-morning favorite for breakfast and light lunch. Smoothie bowls, fluffy pancakes, and locally roasted espresso anchor the counter, alongside warm homemade granola and a rotating batch of daily muffins that tend to sell out before noon. Cold-pressed juices round out the menu for guests and residents passing through before heading to the beach or the golf courses. The pace stays casual and quick rather than a sit-down production, built for people grabbing something good on their way out the door.
