We still got delicious food in the end by snagging seats at the first come first serve bar area. We ordered: - iced coffees with house made syrups: decent - Cinnamon roll: made with BISCUIT DOUGH for a unique texture and almost the size of my head, this is best for sharing - French toast sticks: almost like bread pudding in lego form - Side of fried chicken: moist and flavorful - We also stopped by the downtown location later to get the lucky charms latte.

Meeting up for a coffee date I got to Magnolias a little early to settle in. The place is interesting and seems authentic, not like those damn yuppy and pretentious coffee shops with the late 90s liberal sitting in the corner writing the next "great American novel." No, this is a place pregnant ladies come with their family to get some coffee and what appears to be really good food. The place has nice wood tones on the floors and tables with simple seating and fake plants, which I can appreciate b/c I too have fake plants at my house b/c I kill live ones! As for the staff, they're prompt and receptive of what you want to drink as well as giving suggestions. I got there when a much younger late 20 something was working so I tried to spark up a conversation. The young lady looked American, blonde and cute but when she spoke pure Latino! Oddly enough I was meeting a 33-year-old Latino for our first date here (yes, I brushed up on my Spanish, but I just moved from Austin so np here). She was a nice lady but she did forget about my drink order so not as good of a barista as one might desire. But honestly, I was superficial at the moment and she was cute so I overlooked the imperfection. The case had some tasty looking treats like croissants but I refrained. My advice is try one! While I'm a medium roast coffee kind of guy and I like my coffee like the women I date; hot, sweet and blonde. I vary my selection by what I'm in the mood for, sometimes latte, sometimes hot or iced, sometimes mocha, you get the drift; and yes I'm talking about coffee (get your mind out of the gutter). But what I do appreciate is creativity in a beverage and a joint with the courage to put a creation on their menu, Magnolias doesn't have that as they're more straight forward. Instead I opted for the latte with 2 shots caramel, 1 vanilla and one toasted marshmello; try it you'll thank me later. I just wish they had more options like almond. Oh to add, I ordered my date a latte and she acted as if it was water and downed it in 5 minutes, so much for sipping and enjoying. In summary, Magnolia's coffee is really good with what looks as great food. Add to that they create an environment where one can feel safe while sitting inside or just stopping by for a quick interaction with nice employees while waiting for food and it's a recipe for success. While I didn't sample their "edibles" (how's my parking?) they looked wonderful. To finish, the employees are great people, the ambiance is fun and the coffee is great. Stop by if you want something good to pick yourself up or rub elbows with a future leader of America.

Hostess greeted us immediately and was told there would be a 15-20 minute wait to be seated. I guess we got lucky and our party of 3 were seated in under 10 minutes. We were met by our waitress and she promptly took our drink orders, 1 freshly squeezed OJ and 2 1/2 Sweet and 1/2 Unsweetened Teas, refreshing!! We ordered: fried chicken and waffles, Small Hail Caesar and Hot KISS Sandwich, French KISS and Biscuit and Gravy AKA SOS! Everyone was extremely impressed with their meals.

Instead of greeting us, welcoming us and then directing us to the outdoor sitting area for pets, she dismissively greeted us with: "Your dog can't come in here and you need to sit outside." This is a problem because there's no place to check-in at the pet friendly patio, requiring us to check in at their only host stand. It wasn't just the words, but the tone and negative attitude. Instead, she made a negative of Kiss Cafe's open sitting outside for pets. An alternative greeting she may try with customers is the following: "Welcome to Kiss Cafe. We have a special area for your furry pet outside. Please join me as I lead you to sitting area for you and your pet." I was dining at a restaurant in Charleston and mentioned I had a very unpleasant experience twice with my pet at an unnamed restaurant. Without any further prompting, she asked me if it was Kiss Cafe. She said she had worked at Kiss Cafe and the staff is known for having a hostile attitude to pets by its patrons. Kiss Cafe Staff, stop being belligerent and hostile to patrons with pets.

You could drag yourself out of bed and with your dog saunter in here and fit right in. We started with mimosas that are hand squeezed right at the bar. It was interesting to see what a difference fresh squeezed really enhanced the flavor. The standard Hash has great Waffle House vibes which is a good thing. The potatoes are fresh, the cheese sauce blends in providing a nice binding agent and the onion to potato ratio is just about perfect! The breakfast burrito is one of their most popular items and I could see why. Served West Coast style it has potato, chorizo gravy, eggs, and cheese sauce with a hatch chili sauce on the side. It is just the right size, filling but not too much to eat. The ingredients are super fresh and that Hatch Chili sauce is mandated for maximum tastiness. The Fruity Pebble pancakes will transport you back to your childhood with a generous pancake topped with the sugary cereal. It is sweet and decadent. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch sticky bun is the stuff of sweet dreams! Brown butter maple glaze, Hawaiian roll, mint cream and of course lots of crunchy toast crunch cereal. It will make you smile with every bite. But if you want to reach Nirvana, take it home, heat it up in the microwave and add a nice dollop of vanilla ice cream! It will send into sugary bliss. Service was excellent and it was a place that just makes you feel at home. A must breakfast try if you haven't already!

They command a high price for food that's not even served on a plate. It's served on a tray with butcher's paper as if it were from a BBQ joint. They do this for their hash, eggs, pancakes and I'm assuming everything else. No silverware to eat your food with either, just plastic. No table service, it's all self serve except for when they bring the food out. Not even mugs for the espresso or drip coffee. It's served in paper cups, even if you dine in. For reals. All this for when other nearby places offer silverware and table service for a similar caliber? I don't know, this one left a lot to be desired. The burrito was more of an egg and hash brown burrito with a light cheese roux that had the essence of chorizo. It's like having a LaCroix except it's an even bigger letdown. Vibes were alright. Again, about the only standout was the great service and dogs being welcomed. I'd pass on this in the future, unfortunately the nice folks up front can't carry the rest of the shortfalls.
