Inside the restaurant is so pretty
Savannah H.

We had never tried this place before. It looked okay from the outside. It's at the end of a strip mall. They do have a nice little garden of flowers outside their entrance tho. I thought that was cute. Inside is what wowed me. It's so pretty in there. They have flowers dangling from the trellis ceiling. I really appreciate the way they decorated. I ordered some French toast that comes with fruit on top. It was so good. I got it with a side of bacon. I always beg the server to make sure that my bacon is extra crispy! Most of the time at other places, I still have to send it back. However here, they got it right the first time. I definitely want to come back here. I have to remember it's here. We usually rotate through Eggs Up, First Watch, and Vicious Biscuit. We are going to have to add Magnolias Cafe in the mix. It's definitely worth going back to again!

The spot is cute and convenient in location. The prices were affordable and the menu had a variety of options. Our server was very friendly. I got crepes with cream cheese and strawberries inside - it was good but wasn't as sweet as I expected. I am a tea drinker so I got hot green tea, Which my friends got a latte and a coffee. They said their drinks were good and the breakfast sandwich's were filling. I would recommend this spot if you are in the area.

Service was great! Asked for recommendations and they delivered. Coffee was okay. Sandwich really made me full. I like the ambiance, it was decorated with flowers and stuff. They had a lot of space inside.

My first time visiting this place and the place is pretty cute. The server was very helpful and friendly. I really like the coffee late here. I wish they have option for skim milk but they don't. They have almond and oat milk option if you cant have dairy. I also ordered the veggies omelete and crepe cream cheese. They both tasted so good and the fruits were fresh and sweet. My friend ordered the carrot, beet and pineapple juice and she liked it. They don't have pastry options but still a good place to visit for good coffee, fresh juice and sweet and savory breakfast.

Cream cheese crepe, bacon, home fries

The cream cheese crepe with caramel, bacon and home fries, so so good 10/10. Really cute on the inside, staff was very friendly :)

Nutella Toast

Hidden Gem!! Do yourself a favor, just come and enjoy this fresh served to order meal. Thank me later! Fresh juices, Gourmet coffee..

If I could give Magnolias 10 I would! I found this while looking for a brunch spot for my daughter's 18th bday to eat at with her friends. Let me tell you... the very definition of LOCAL HIDDEN GEM!! You would never expect this off of College Park Rd (if you know the area) but WOW! They let us reserve a couple of tables for her and her friends ahead of time. We went at 2pm and had the place to ourselves. The decor and vibe is what you would get in Downtown Summerville or Downtown Charleston. So cute! Staff: friendly and all around awesome! She had tables we had picked out with little reserved cards on them, menus and ice waters ready to go when we walked in. Our guests trickled in little by little and she was patient and attentive. Never rushing us but always there when we were ready. Now the best part, the food. Amazing We couldn't have been more pleased The flavor was great, presentation on point, and you definitely get enough to be stuffed! They even whipped up a special surprise slice of birthday Mexican Cheesecake for my daughter. Very thoughtful! Highly recommend everyone to give Magnolia's Cafe a try. We will be back!!

We went here after going to another nearby restaurant and waiting a long time for service. so glad…read morewe did! The server offered lemons when we ordered waters. Appreciate that I didn't have to ask. I had the She Crab Soup and it was wonderful. my husband had the chicken and waffles and said they were great. the shrimp and grits was not what I expected. more like Jumbalya and not with butter like I expected. Not my preference but my so. Liked it.

Hmmm. Not sure what to make of this place. I did just move here from New England and I like…read moresouthern food, but something about this place didn't do it for me... My husband and I came in for dinner and sat at the bar. We started with the cheese fritters & bacon jam. We initially thought the bacon jam was missing, but the fritters were great so we just kept eating them! When we got down to the last one, we both realized the "odd looking fritter" in the bowl that we were both avoiding, was the jam (oops!). It was a similar color and shape to the fritters but we both just laughed about avoiding it. For my entree, I was sold on the "award-winning" shrimp & grits that were featured on the Today show (as per their menu). Surprising that this meal made it that far as it didn't taste like anything special to me. It was not bad but very basic/plain; so basic that it felt like something was missing. It was the same case with my husband's meatloaf. However, I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if you like it here ;)

If you're looking for the gold standard of brunch in Summerville, look no further than First Watch…read moreon North Main Street. This isn't just your typical "eggs and toast" diner; it's a full-on culinary experience that manages to feel both incredibly healthy and deeply indulgent at the exact same time. From the second you walk through the door, you're hit with the "Sun-Up" vibe--it's bright, airy, and smells like fresh-squeezed citrus and high-end coffee. We were greeted by a host who gave us a realistic wait time, but here is a pro tip: use their app to join the waitlist before you even leave your house. We did that and were whisked to a booth within five minutes of arriving. The Appetizer You Can't Skip We started with the Million Dollar Bacon, and let me tell you, the name is an understatement. It's four slices of hardwood smoked bacon baked with a brown sugar and black pepper crust, finished with a maple syrup drizzle. The way the cayenne pepper provides a tiny kick at the end to balance the sweetness is genius. It is thick, crispy, and honestly, I would come back just for a plate of that. The Main Event For the mains, our table tried a variety of dishes to see if the kitchen could handle the rush: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: These are probably the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. The ricotta adds a creamy richness without making them heavy, and the marinated berries on top were burst-in-your-mouth fresh. They didn't even need extra syrup. The Tri-Athlete Omelet: For those trying to stay on track with fitness goals, this is the move. It's an egg white omelet loaded with house-roasted onions, tomatoes, and cremini mushrooms. It felt light but was surprisingly filling. Farmhouse Hash: This is the ultimate comfort bowl. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly (not too salty), and the two over-easy eggs on top created a rich sauce that tied the whole thing together. The Juice Bar & Coffee You cannot visit First Watch without hitting the juice bar. We tried the Purple Haze--it's visually stunning with the butterfly pea flower, and the lemon/cane sugar combo is incredibly refreshing. Also, their Project Sunrise Coffee is some of the best "restaurant coffee" I've ever tasted. Knowing it supports female farmers in Colombia makes that second (and third) refill taste even better. Service & Atmosphere Despite the place being packed, the service was seamless. Our server, Justin, was a machine--he anticipated our refills before we even asked and knew the menu inside and out, even suggesting a side of the "Greens dressed with lemon" which was a perfect palate cleanser. The atmosphere is energetic but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Whether you're a local or just passing through the 29483 area, this First Watch location is firing on all cylinders. It's clean, the ingredients are top-tier, and the menu is creative enough to keep you coming back week after week.

I'll admit, I'm not a huge breakfast person, especially when I'm trying to lose weight or keep it…read moreoff. Nope, about 4oz of berries and coffee with honey, creamer, turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne for me. Please note my listed concoction is extremely beneficial to the body, containing anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. Ok back to the point, I had the opportunity to meet a friend from church for lunch and I figured since I've never been to a First Watch in my life, to give it a try. The ride over at 11:15 on a Tuesday morning was easy, light on traffic with ample parking in a very safe section of town. I beat my comrade, for my Russian friends, to the restaurant as he was lagging a bit so the courteous wait staff promptly seated me. To be honest the franchise appears to have a forced hommy look to it. As if they're trying to be something you'd find on a winding country road where only the locals know about. To be honest, the ambiance is the lowest on my checklist, so depending on your perspective, that's a good thing. My hostess/waitress was asking me about my beverage before I was seated! I like this commitment to service. She even got me honey for my sweetener as I requested. Slow... slow golf clap from the audience. As I confessed before, I'm not a big breakfast person but I try to eat reasonable 90% of the time to stay "fit as a fiddle" (I'm curious where that analogy came from). While I could have enjoyed a great number of items, I opted for 1 Belgian waffle and 2 over easy eggs to go with my coffee. My skinny friend (grumble) got the Tri Fecta b/c.... well he's skinny! But as I recall it was about the same as my dish but with bacon. First off, my eggs were perfectly over easy - cooked 65% on one side the rest on the other with a very runny yolk, tasty! Now for the waffle, can we say "false advertising on 3?" Belgian waffles are thicker, have a "yiester" batter and pearl sugar. Plus, the "syrup traps" (all rights to Mitch Hedberg) are deeper while it has a crispier exterior and fluffier interior. In other words what I got was a deflated, defeated and structurally defunct piece of want to be abstract art, only something that a painter like Mark Rothko could appreciate (look him up). It was tasty but when I love waffles and have refrained for literal years I had my hopes set way to high. Anyways it was an average experience with only one syrup option! Oh I apologize for the pic, I was hungry and forgot to snap one before I destroyed it with my pitchfork. Overall, I don't want to nitpick too much but give constructive advice. So, the great -bacon, eggs, coffee, customer service, noise level and comfort. The average or slightly below average - the waffle (mislabeled) and ambiance via drab decor. If I were to come back, which isn't a reflection on the restaurant but my eating habits, I would opt for the eggs benedict as I make them all the time at home since homemade hollandaise sauce is easy and elevates any dish.

I ordered The Vicious, and honestly, every single part of it was excellent. The biscuit was perfectly fluffy yet sturdy, the fillings were flavorful, and the whole thing came together in a ridiculously delicious way. It's clear they know how to do Southern biscuit creations right - generous portions, fresh ingredients, and bold flavors. The service was quick and friendly too. If you're craving an over-the-top biscuit sandwich, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend!

I arrived early and from the looks of it, that was a good thing. They had line ropes leading to the cashier which was an indicator of a rush that will come later. The cashier was very friendly, and made recommendations. I nearly lost all sense of time and place when I saw PIMENTO cheese grits. Whaaaaaat? Got those. Then I got a jalapeño, egg and cheese biscuit. They have self serve coffee, a "jam and butter bar" and super cool logo. I suggest you RUN (because you will need to burn off the calories) and not walk! All in with 20% tip because restaurant worker got eat too, $23. Ok, some personal perspectives on the food. The jalapeño biscuit was made with fresh jalapeños, a twist from the usual. The sausage,and egg were cooked to perfection and thick. The grits were smooth and melty. If you never had grits, this a good start, but there are many varieties, colors, and ways to prepare. In the low country you have to try them at several places to find you favorite. A little like Goldilocks and for many southerners a matter of personal taste. Finally, the people were consummate southern hospitality! Friendly helpful and great to talk too, God bless them, I was dining alone. To be honest, the food delivered but the people were worth extra stars.

The appetizers were very good although I didn't grasp the concept behind sweet calamari it was cooked perfectly and tender, the escargot were buttery and delicious. I had the chicken with the cognac sauce. (I know not very exciting) but I've been in the mood for a roasted piece of chicken for a little bit...and not only was the chicken expertly prepared and cooked but it tasted amazing, seasoned perfectly. The gnocchi and asparagus that accompanied it were delicious as well. It was single-handedly one of the best chicken dishes I've had. My wife had the fillet mignon with the fig demi, potato gratin and it again was completely spot on for tenderness, seasoning and flavor. It was delicious as well. My 4 year old basically demanded we get the chocolate cake for dessert and they said it was delicious. It definitely was large enough to shared with 3 or 4 people if you wanted a few tastes.

Our server was great, very attentive, and the food was so good. Definitely a good experience and a little "nicer" dinner than many of the chains in Summerville. You can be casual, but the atmosphere is a step above that. It's also a beautifully done building that serves as an event venue, as well.
