Carmen and Rafael Godwin, owners of Juliette Balcony in Downtown Jacksonville, bought the adjacent Mag’s Cafe property Dec. 19 for $1.4 million.
Mag’s Cafe, a Downtown breakfast and lunch staple, closed in October 2023 because of staffing and problems with the homeless population, restaurant owner Bobby Reynolds said at the time. It opened as Magnificat Cafe in 2003.
The building is at 231 N. Laura St., across the street from the Main Library. The sale includes an attached retail building at 38-44 W. Monroe St. behind Mag’s.
