Lava Lava Magnetic Island
Stop the search for Maggie’s most adorable cafe because you’ve found it. Lava Lava Magnetic Island is tucked inside the little Seasalt Arcade in Picnic Bay and has become one of those places that’s very easy to keep coming back to.
Think exceptional coffee, freshly baked treats, loaded bagels, nourishing brekkies and superfood smoothies, all served from a colourful little corner of one of the island’s quieter bays. Grab something on the go or settle in and make a morning of it before wandering down towards Picnic Bay Beach and the jetty.
Inside you’ll also find Juniper and Company, Lava Lava’s beautifully curated General Store. Browse local artwork, natural skincare, homewares, beachy finds, travel essentials, thoughtful gifts and gorgeous illustrated children’s books. It’s the kind of collection where you go in for coffee and somehow leave with something for home.
Good food, great coffee and plenty to browse while you wait. We’ll take a brekky burger and a Super Monkey smoothie, thanks!
WHAT WE LOVE
Bagels, Brekkies & Good Coffee: Freshly made breakfasts, loaded bagels, sweet treats, superfood smoothies and seriously good coffee. The Super Monkey gets our vote.
Juniper & Company: Browse the General Store while you wait, with local artwork, natural skincare, homewares, gifts, beachy finds and beautiful children’s books.
A Little Win for Families: The beach toy borrow box is right out front, which means there’s always a bucket, spade or something to play with. Grab takeaway and head down to the beach to soak up the sunshine.
Make a Morning of Picnic Bay: Head down the Esplanade to the fenced playground, have a swim at Picnic Bay or wander out along the historic jetty. There’s plenty nearby to turn a coffee stop into a whole morning out.
