Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Friendly cafe opposite the water with outdoor seating. We came in for brunch after kayaking but once I saw the curry menu, we had a (very good) coffee and waited for lunch to start! The Malaysian chicken curry was SO GOOD!! Add a crisp glass of rose and it was the perfect lunch"
"BLT was the best tasting ever with a Bucket cappuccino , Asian spiced beef salad just right tangy, vegetarian option included tasty Dahl and rice but ( would hope vege curries in future). Lovely atmosphere opposite the horseshoe bay beach, and friendly staff."
"We had a really lovely experience at Nourish on Magnetic Island, just off Townsville. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel comfortable without any fuss. The food was fresh and well prepared, with a good mix of healthy options and a few more indulgent choices. Everything we ordered was tasty and nicely presented. The coffee was great, and it’s a nice spot to sit and enjoy the island pace for a while. Overall, a really solid café and definitely worth a visit if you’re on Magnetic Island."
"Great options for breakfast, including lots of veggie and vegans choices. Food was delicious! Would definitely recommend eating here."
"Another beautiful breakfast while visiting Cafe Nourish at Horseshoe Bay on Magnetic Island It's been too long between visits, yet the same high standard of delicious food is on offer at this truly lovely cafe I brought first-time visitors to the island, and when they asked for breakfast recommendations, Cafe Nourish was top of mind, and everyone was wrapped with their meals and thrilled with the recommendation. A big thank you to the chefs and fab kitchen legends. I saw the mouthwatering Citrus Tart in the cabinet when I was ordering breakfast and thought after checking out the markets and a lovely foot massage, I was coming back for a slice! Well, it was all I had hoped for! Thank you to the cafe wait staff for looking after us and all the other patrons, and for being happy, helpful, and lovely humans, I can't wait to be back again. It's so darn yummy, reliable, and consistent!"
"We stopped in after a long hike starting at the forts in circling at horseshoe Bay. What a wonderful surprise! Great food and lovely staff. The curries were from all around the world and they were all incredibly tasty. The location right across from the sand at Horseshoe Bay was perfect. The only downside were the flies as we were eating outside."
"Cafe Nourish is an amazing spot adorned with creative and tasteful decor. The unique touch of displaying banknotes from various countries near the payment counter adds an interesting element. The drinks and food are not only delicious but also presented with precision and harmony. The spectacular view enhances the overall gastronomic experience, making it even more enjoyable. They also are pet friendly. The friendly staff and beautifully crafted dishes contribute to the charm of Cafe Nourish, creating a delightful and memorable visit."
"In my opinion, the nicest cafe on Magnetic Island, on the foreshore of Horseshoe Bay. Lovely place, great views, right on the beach, very clean public toilets 1min away. Super menu, great girls waiting on. Lovely decor inside too, with lovely local jewellery and nick nacks to buy too."
