The office and I decided to try this place out for a fun Friday lunch and The Magnificat Cafe did not disappoint!
My colleagues, superior and I were blown away by the overall quality and taste of our meals. Hats off the chef!
Being dairy-free, I love that they offer vegan options. So nice to go to a place where special dietary needs are recognized.
This cafe has solidified it's spot as one of our weekly lunch stops.
Thank you for the delicious meal!
I am thankful for this place and for the amazing vegan options! The creamy curried kale and mushroom soup was so delicious that I went back and got several bowls to-go to share with my husband and enjoy later! Love this place!
Love this place. Great food and atmosphere. It's open Saturdays for brunch now and they serve Pura Bean coffee.
Excellent food and it is a hidden gem in downtown Jacksonville
Was walking by and saw that they were now open for brunch on Saturdays. The owners are very nice and nice variety on the menu. Glad to see another option on the weekends in Downtown

Any time I'm downtown, this is my go to restaurant! Asparagus goat cheese quiche and carrot soup are my go to lunch.....but everything they have is amazing!
A new reason for me to come downtown -- excellent fare! I 'found' you during One Spark last year -- a calm, refreshing alternative to the 'food village' down the block where long lines waited for overpriced fried food. I came to Artwalk tonight and had a a terrific sandwich (genuine fresh baguette! Real green lettuce, not the iceberg blech of most cafés! Nice thick slices of tomato! Pesto mayo sooooo good!) and soup (your spinach soup beats the pants off of the stuff at Chamblin's cafe!). I am hooked. Your cafe is a soothing balm to the madness in this world. Thank You!!
What a fantastic place to get food made from scratch! One of my favorite lunch spots in the whole city!
Yesterday's special-duck confit pizza with caramelized onions, pesto and smoked Gouda was absolutely amazing. Please do it again.
Love this place. The food is always fresh & flavorful. The soups are homemade & sooooo good. And the quiche, it's the BEST!
We went in today and were politely greeted by Kathy.
The staff was super pleasant and it is a clean establishment. Support this local cafe, as they are getting it right! Way to go with customer service!��
I have no doubt that on that great day when the Lord calls us home, the first feast in heaven will be catered by the Magnificat Cafe!
I cant say enough about the quiche. yummy. I love being neighbors with you most of all.
Best lunch spot in Jacksonville!
Came by yesterday at the recommendation of a friend. They told me they had GF items there. But when I went, they said they were out. Bummer for me. So I just ordered a side of grits and scrambled eggs. My friend ordered a whole meal that they loved. It had eggs bacon avocado and home fries. They used a ginger hot sauce to eat it with. I didn't really like my eggs. They were flat and not fluffy and looked like there was pepper added to them? But the grits were great. And they don't come with butter either, which is good for me since I'm also dairy free. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. But remember, you are downtown, so you will see a variety of odd things by sitting outside. I sat inside which was comfortable. Wasn't too cold either. Menus are on the outside of the building. They have a separate breakfast and lunch menu also.
This little place across the street from James Weldon Johnson park was a godsend on a recent afternoon when the food trucks failed to show up during the weekly concerts in the park event. Had a reasonably priced grilled cheese sandwich and service was friendly. Adequate cafe tables inside and out. Parking is metered on the street on weekdays and I think they close mid afternoon. Lots to do in this block so it's worth a visit. The live music, MOCA, Chamblins Book Mine. The park is being upgraded as of July 2023, so will revisit the area when that is completed.
Ordered for lunch and had it delivered. The chicken soup was delicious. The flavors and seasonings were all perfect. The main street burger was kind of dry but it was seasoned well. Their potato salad took me by surprise, it seemed to be dijon mustard based with capers, possibly? It was unqiue. I will be back to try out more stuff.
Wonderful Cafe in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. Service was friendly and accommodating and they were knowledgeable about the menu and the area of town we were in. We actually ate breakfast there first and came back the next day for lunch. For breakfast I had the build a bowl, my wife had an omelet, and my daughter ate a biscuit sandwich. All were delicious, so much so wet came back the next afternoon for lunch. Again not disappointed, I had the roast beef sandwich and it was too die for. Local cuisine with a smile 😊.
This cafe’s food was amazing! Me and my girlfriend came in after breakfast hours and they still offered to serve us breakfast! Very kind and polite people who work here. Overall, one of the best cafe’s my girlfriend and I have been to!
This is really good place to eat. People are amazing here. They greet you really well. I love there sausage biscuits as well as bagels in the morning. They really have good sandwiches too. There are so many good options.
This is the absolute best place to eat downtown. The food is awesome, the service is AMAZING! The best part of my day is coming to see the team at Mag's! They are so sweet and kind and their food is never a disappointment!
Great place to eat. Food was amazing. I'm definitely coming back. Owner is really nice. I felt immediately as I walked in. This place has the heart beat of Jacksonville flowing thru it also.
I’ve always had good meals here with a nice little patio area where we can take the dogs. A chicken pesto pita that I had there is my favorite. Only reason I’m not going up to five is parking is a bit of an issue for me but that’s really the City’s issue not the restaurant!
Update: 08/09/22 had the Chicken Curry Wrap was awesome!
Nice place to eat some light food. My mom can not have any solid so I ask for the onion soup to be more liquid and they were happy to accommodate us. They treat us super nice , it was our first time here. They were patience with us answering all questions And ask us if everything was to our expectations. Thanks
