Yummy!! This place is so antique and cute. I loved the playlist and the warmth and hospitality of the staff. They actually hung out with us a little which is nice. They made us feel right at home. Great spot for a low cost quick snack or coffee.
NOSTAGLIA AT ITS BEST... Literally passed by this little white house with blue trim covered in heavy foliage but caught a glimpse of the name Magnolia Vintage Art Cafe. Immediate grin on my face and made an abrupt u-turn in traffic and drove to a gravel lined free parking area. Across from the umbrella covered garden patio was a full size vintage blue Chevrolet next to a six foot ice cream cone which provided an exciting peek of whats to come. The front walkway was surrounded by Noni shrubbery all the way to the blue wooden French patio entry door with clear paned glass. Met with the owner inside and noticed an explosion of Key West farmhouse ambiance. Every vintage item in the shop is for sale - just ask for the price and buy it. Surprisingly, the gender neutral bathroom was guarded by a colorful Elvis mural on the door. It enticed me to take a peek and I was astonished by the vibrant colors of classic rock and roll band themed wallpaper mixed in with Andy Warhol's iconic Marilyn Monroe painting giving this room a sense of pure originality that blends well with the rest of the cafe. Ordered an espresso and sat in one of the enclave rooms which was elaborately decorated with vintage items. As I sipped my coffee, my eyes were non stop peering at everything on the walls, floors and ceiling even a tranquil black cat named Denis the Menace was sitting next to me. The owner explained the menu where everything is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner and made fresh in-house to order. Fantastic tasting coffee with eccentric decor and will be coming back with the wife for avocado toast or chicken parm with a slice of strawberry cheesecake. The VERY NEXT DAY, I came back here for lunch with the wife and she was absolutely amazed by the expansive vintage decor. We split a huge portion of avocado toast with eggs and an espresso to wash it down. Another great experience at the Magnolia Cafe.
Authentic local low key restaurant for breakfast brunch and lunch. Spinach lasagna 10 out of 10. Mediterranean salad was ok but not special. I wouldn't order again. Service was great and the place looks really cute!
This is not only a coffee shop but an antique store as well! Super cool place, with decorations from all over the world, from Harry Potter to Minnie Mouse, you name it and it's probably hidden in a corner of this shop. Very friendly staff as well. They were welcoming and attentive. Anyone that knows downtown Fort Lauderdale knows that parking isn't always easy, but this location has parking in the back and it connects to the shopping center next to it, which has plenty of parking. We didn't eat outside because it is still way too hot, but there's a cute patio set outside, and seating inside as well. We shared the avocado toast (which is huge!) and I also had the magnolia cappuccino. Both were tasty! The avocado is big enough for 2-3 people to share. The cappuccino was the perfect blend. Not too bitter and not too strong. If you're in the area, this place is worth checking out.
My friend and I came here for breakfast after a late start to the day. Anyone in the downtown Ft Lauderdale area knows how bad parking can get, I appreciated that they had ample parking in the back that we didn't have to pay for. I ordered the Waffle, scrambled eggs and bacon. The waffle was good, I wish the edges were a little crispier, the eggs I asked for scrambled soft they weren't, and the bacon was overcooked. The coffee was good. When we walked in the lady asked if it was our first time, she instructed that we will order with her, pay and find a seat, felt a bit rushed but not a big deal. Loved the decor and theme of the restaurant.
Magnolia Cafe has quickly become a semi-weekly favorite. The atmosphere is quirky and cozy, the service has always been great and the food is delicious. So far my favorite breakfast/brunch item is the Magnolia Waffle - fresh strawberry's and bananas on one side with eggs and mashed avocado on the other - it's always satisfying and the eggs are cooked perfectly to order. I've also enjoyed the occasional BEC sandwich and always have a cappuccino.
The hubby showed me pictures of this place and he said I have to check it out, so here I am for a Friday lunch. The owners were so friendly and the antique decorations and artwork were unique. We sat in one of the private rooms and quickly began snapping pics of the oversized Joker mask and the giant pink cup cake. Ordered the avocado on thick sour dough bread and lettuce with an over easy egg. The portion was so large that we split it and was full. I recommend strongly that if you love something different then this is your place.
This place is such a hidden gem! I stopped by Magnolia Café on a whim and was genuinely impressed--from the cozy, welcoming vibe to the delicious food. I ordered the double-decker turkey and egg sandwich, and wow... it did not disappoint. The layers were stacked perfectly--fresh, flavorful turkey, fluffy eggs, crisp lettuce, and just the right amount of creamy mayo on toasted bread. It was hearty without being heavy, and every bite was satisfying. You can tell they care about quality ingredients. Service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to, especially for that sandwich!
Amazing coffee! We got 2 hot Mocha latte's to go and two everything Bagels with cream cheese. Simple orders that only took a little time because of how lively this place was. The service was great, servers constantly moving on their feet. As for the ambience I really enjoyed the art and decor. I would like to visit again when it's less busy, but the coffee was perfect! You can taste the real chocolate they used instead of fake Mocha syrup. The backyard garden was also adorable, appreciated by a fellow plant enthusiast!
I absolutely loved this brunch place in Fort Lauderdale! Parking was very easy and it wasn't super crowded for a Sunday as well. This is located in a quieter part of Fort Lauderdale so the traffic was pretty easy. I got the pancakes with eggs and my friend got the avocado toast. We also had pink coffees! The owner was very friendly as well! I would definitely recommend this place 10/10.
Magnolia Cafe is the best of both worlds for coffee and antiques. There is something to see everywhere you look! They have different rooms with different antiques and an outdoor patio with antiques in the back. It is such a unique place! I ordered an iced caramel latte and enjoyed it. I sat outside and was joined by 3 cute cats too. I will be back to try more of their menu!
Magnolia Cafe is a real hidden gem. It's small but has a big personality and even bigger portion sizes. We've gotten their pies to go before and they were great. The key lime was probably our favorite, but this was our first time dining in. We ordered the Double Decker Sandwich and were pleasantly shocked by the size. It was jam-packed with turkey and really hit the spot. We also got the Magnolia Waffle, which was fire. Very simple, yet very tasty. The Lox Bagel was also really good. The fish on top was nice and tender, and I really enjoyed all the other toppings on it. The drinks were great too. The Dirty Chai and Cappuccino were both really good, and the coffee was nice and rich. The inside was really cool and I loved all the decorations. The service was great as well. Everyone was very helpful and answered all of our questions, and the food came out pretty fast. Overall, it really felt like we were getting a home-cooked meal. I feel like I could sit in there for hours because it was just that comfortable. After eating here, I genuinely thought to myself, "Can we come back here tomorrow?" This place is great and I'd really recommend it to anyone. Definitely will be back. read more
Deliberately homey, and decorated with the nostalgia of typewriters, cameras and bric a brac, which is already a refreshing change from the plastic ferns and flowers that litter everything today We each got a Panini, mine was turkey. His was chicken and both were delicious. Wonderful fresh bread and good meats. With fresh greens. The only complaint is that the sandwiches were not only fresh and tasty, they were really really big and we each took home half for lunch tomorrow. Comfortable, ambience, good food, and good service. We will go back for breakfast soon. read more

We randomly found this place after a rough night of being left out of our AirBnB. To say that it turn out trip around is an understatement. Saving it as one of our favorites. The service was so kind and efficient and the double decker was so delicious. The ambiance of the place is so cool and unique. read more

Magnolia Cafe is yet another hidden gem located in Fort Lauderdale. A cute cafe with plenty of seats inside and outside, friendly service, and yummy food. I got the turkey panini which was simple, but delicious. I had coffee only a few hours earlier, so I didn't order one here, but it looked good! We did get an iced hibiscus tea which was light and refreshing. I will definitely come back to give their coffee and other food options a try. Overall, a great spot to hang out and enjoy an authentic cafe experience. read more

What a sweet little neurodivergent treat for the eyes! If you enjoy creative establishments with simple good food, this is the little place for you. This is a family owned establishment with mom cooking , dad doing the repairs , tables and collecting memorabilia and daughter in the front taking orders from customers. They were very pleasant but not super accommodating to special requests which I can respect but it may not be for people that expect tailored service or have food sensitivities. Their bread is fresh baked European; we saw them drop it off by another mom and pop business so it is legitimate. The lox being served is homemade by mom ! Which is wonderful. I highly recommend it. But if you're gluten sensitive and can't have the awesome bread , I recommend their mash potatoes as a side. read more

Met for brunch with a friend. It's very mis matched, Alice in wonderland, antique vibe, which i love. I had the avocado toast and it was filled with avocado, my friend had the waffle which she enjoyed. We both had the magnolia cappuccino which had rasberry dust i believe. The service as great. The owner and employees were all very nice. Definitely a chill vibe. read more

Magnolia Caffee totally lived up to the expectations. There is a reason why mornings are always super busy at this restaurant. Even with a steady flow of large customers especially on the weekends, they maintain their calm and provide their prompt and excellent service. The design of this coffee place in no feels like a commercial establishment. It is like visiting someone's house and having tea. They have plenty of parking and that was impressive. The patrons seem to be regular, loyal and well behaved. Come for a coffee, breakfast or lunch and you will be surely impressed. read more

I have been wanting to try this spot for a while now! I drive by it quite often and always thought it looked so cute from the outside. My friend and I came for lunch, and it just as cute as the inside! It has a bunch of Knick knacks and has a whimsical vibe to it. We both enjoyed our meals and the staff was nice. Very cool spot! read more

Many people have recommended this spot and finally we made it here. I found the atmosphere to be extremely cluttered rather than "quaint" or quirky. There were plenty of open tables on a Sunday afternoon which pleasantly surprised me! Also a parking spot right next door. Food wise, we'd say the waffle is not worth it. Pretty standard and too expensive for what you get. The avocado toast (which they call something else) could have been toasted a little more - the edges were nice but the inside part was very soft and felt untoasted. The avo had a nice flavor to it and there was a LOT on it. My eggs were overcooked (they did not ask how I wanted them). The bread was a nice, thick cut sourdough. My husband liked his latte. They do not serve oat milk which is a huge miss for me! Only almond milk for their dairy free guests. Owner came to check on us and was friendly, so being a small business I'd say give them a try depending on your tastes. read more
lol I can't even remember what I ordered, might have been a caprese salad, which was good, but for dessert I remember we got tiramisu, baked cheesecake, and the key lime pie. This was probably my favorite key lime pie I have ever had. Huge slice for only 6 or 7 dollars! The huge layer of meringue toned down some of the tartness and gave it such a delicious balanced flavor I have never had in a key lime pie before. Incredible and need to come back next time I'm in the area! Tiramisu was good and cheesecake was a little bland for me but that key lime pie I still dream of! I also had the blueberry smoothie which wasn't bad. read more

We had a late lunch. One of the most interestingly decorated cafes in the area. They have an extensive collection of older knick-knacks and display items in the various rooms, including old soda and medicine bottles and cans, toy cars, and other dozens of other cool stuff. The food was also amazing. We had the parmesan chicken (the chicken was lightly breaded and fried), the mediterranean salad, the spirulina drink, and a piece of the cheese cake (polish style) and cherry pie. All delicious, especially the desserts!! Friendly service, too. read more

Cute spot to grab a quick bite. We also had the waffle but we ate it before we realized we hadn't taken photo. Service was quick the said it would be a 20 minute wait before the food came out but it actually came out a lot quicker. read more
