About Lovewell Café

Perched atop the Mount Gravatt summit, this hilltop cafe frames Brisbane CBD vistas across a tranquil bushland canopy. Regulars stop by after navigating the Toohey Forest walking trails, cooling down on the breezy outdoor verandah with iced coffee and an Energise smoothie. Run as a dedicated social enterprise, every kitchen order directly funds charitable employment and community programs for vulnerable women. The all-day menu leans hearty and satisfying—plates land stacked with pork and fennel sausage on thick-cut toast, crisp BLATs, and brioche breakfast burgers layered with house relish.

  • Summit Lookout Panoramas: Sweeping panoramic views stretch across the reserve canopy toward the Brisbane city skyline from the covered verandah.
  • Purpose-Driven Social Enterprise: Operates as a women-run social enterprise funding programs and pathways for vulnerable women in the community.
  • Post-Hike Refueling: Ideal replenishment after exploring the Toohey Forest trails, serving generous breakfast burgers, fresh smoothies, and iced coffee.

  • Tranquil Mountain Sanctuary

    Tucked into the elevated treetops above the reserve, guests discover a calm, scenic atmosphere that feels more like visiting a welcoming home than a bustling hilltop venue.

  • Accessible Family Celebrations

    The venue provides level access, accommodating facilities, and generous spacing that comfortably hosts wheelchair users and multi-generational guests.

    The place exceeded what I had imagined and worked so well with the distinct areas, and plenty of room for our three wheelchairs.
