With our take away coffee and pastries in hand we headed up to the lookout to just sit on the grass and take a few minutes to be outside in a different space to look across our beautiful city
. It is not too far from home and provided us with an escape during this 'Locked in' time.
We have always enjoyed this great little space and I think we can appreciate it even more now. Who doesn't love a view!! Wish I had taken a photo but I was just too busy relaxing and enjoying the pastry... should have taken a photo of that.. it was delish :-)

The staff varies mostly good. Although the cheap milk they use is a turn off.
Lift your game put some better products in there...I would pay extra for a better product...have you checked what’s in the alternative drinks...

We went to Mt Gravatt Lookout while we were visiting our family in Brisbane.
Great drive up to the lookout and fabulous views over the city and towards the coast.
After having a lovely morning tea at the Hopewell Project Cafe we decided to go for a bit of a walk through the bush.
There a lots of picnic areas and nice seating areas at the top of the mountain.
There are information board which give you the history of the area, the Aboriginal culture, native flora and fauna as well as the various walking tracks.
We decided to do part of the Summit walk which was really nice. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the district.

I parked down the bottom at Gertrude Petty Place and walked up to the lookout through Toohey Forest via the Summit Track. It stretches 1.2 kilometres through open forest and takes about 30-45 mins depending on your pace. There are a few offshoots/forks in the track so you have to be careful to follow the signs (I look a wrong turn on the way back & had to reroute). You cross the road at the beginning & turn left near the tanks. At the top you are rewarded with postcard views of the Brisbane CBD & Moreton Bay from the south east. It was busy up at the lookout on the day I went but the track was fairly empty (probably due to the summer heat).

Great views. Great coffee. We were pleasantly surprised by the cafe at the top - Love Well. Service was rather slow but the few staff that were on were very friendly and apologetic about the delays - staff away sick etc

A great view from the top as you would expect. Take some time and park down the bottom, just on the right as you start to climb. There is a Summit Track that takes about 45 round trip. Stopping at the summit around the half way mark to take in the view.

Went hiking up to the mountain with 14 friends, went to the kiosk veranda for coffee but buying coffees was not good enough for the staff to let us use their toilets (it's the only toilet on the mountain), we were told that we had also to buy food from the kiosk before we would get access .....unhappy visitors!

Sunday June 22. Thought i'd take my girlfriend up there for our morning coffee and to show her the view. The view is fantastic. Equal to Mt Cootha except for trees blocking the view but that adds to the natural setting. I should go on about the view because the coffee was terrible. Too hot and sour for both of us. Binned them after a few sips. Havent eaten there so cannot coment on the food. The views nice though..

Good view of brisbane. The price for the coffee is excellent and tastes great. The quality and price of the food way too expensive.

Is it possible to walk up outside of the 6am-11pm opening hours? (Does that refer to just the cafe or...?)
Written July 3, 2017
Technically no. They close the gates so cars can't get through but if you wanted to, you could still walk through. I wouldn't recommend it though as it is dark and slippery.
Written July 3, 2017
The road up to the attraction has a gate, do you know what time they close it?
Written April 12, 2015
Sorry, I have never been up to the lookout at night, however I have never seen the gate closed during daylight hours. My wife and I lived at Mount Gravatt years ago and we have had many walks and drives up the mountain during daytime.
