There are so many cafes in the city now but this is by far my favourite cafe! The coffee is always good and I love the pre-made salads in the fridge! Get a coffee and lunch on the go! You can even pre order your coffee if you’re on a time crunch!! Staff are always friendly too! Anywhere that is dog friendly too I’m there !

Had an awesome breakfast here! The half-serve of eggs Benny was just the right size, and everything was cooked perfectly—the eggs were runny, the hollandaise was spot on, and the pumpkin sourdough had a nice crunch. The coffee was great too, super smooth and just what I needed. The staff were really friendly, and the whole place had a nice, relaxed vibe. Definitely coming back to try more!

I often enjoy a coffee and occasionally breakfast or lunch from Mt Joy. The team is always friendly and helpful, always with a smile. They really go out of their way to engage with their customers - calling by name, remembering orders, first birthday celebration was memorable - I've not had a bad order yet, which isn't bad considering how busy it gets there sometimes

One of my fav cafes in the city! I highly recommend their Toasties and their Lasagna and Chips-fresh and tasty. The staff are always friendly and approachable. Service is second to none.

The team at Mt Joy have been lovely over the past few months. They always aim to please and offer a warm welcome. Cafe is always busy which speaks volumes for the quality of the food and coffee. There’s always people that will have a whinge about the cost of a takeaway but won’t waddle down to Woolies and buy the ingredients to make their own. Do your bit and get behind a small business!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mt. Joy Cafe in Townsville's CBD, and it was an exceptional experience. The cafe offers a delightful selection of grab-and-go goodies, perfect for busy office workers seeking quick yet delicious options. Their expertly crafted barista-made coffee is a must-try, and the mouthwatering burgers are sure to satisfy any craving. The smashed avocado on toasted pumpkin sourdough with feta and balsamic glaze was particularly memorable. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make Mt. Joy Cafe a standout spot in Townsville. Highly recommended!​
