The vibes, coffee, and service are awesome! I have had an iced coffee and an iced matcha, and both were delicious! They have outdoor and indoor seating with a good amount of space. They have a variety of sandwiches and pastries along with their specialty drinks. Also, they sell cute little plants just right inside! It is a perfect place to just study or grab a quick coffee. I will definitely be returning to Magpie Cafe! read more

I've been coming here more often recently, so I can definitely say that this place is very consistent! The service is always friendly and the coffee/food comes out quickly. Iced Vanilla Latte - good vanilla flavor, not too sweet Roosevelt - smooth flavor, strong Sausage Egg Biscuit - delightfully savory and very flavorful... it doesn't look like a big portion but I couldn't even finish it Grits Breakfast - grits are very good and the dish is well composed read more

I've been to the one downtown a couple of times. My first time visiting the Perkins one and it has a great feel to it! A place that you can pass if you aren't really looking but a great cafe! They also have a corner of the shop with natural health products that a very interesting. A fairly quiet place that you can get work done at. I will be visiting back to try the food. read more

Magpie Cafe - Ginger plum tea - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Great little spot for some java action. Corner location is amazing, street parking nearby was ample at 7am. Lots of space inside means lots of room for socializing and caffeinating. Decor is very nice, light and airy with a welcoming color palette. Lots of natural light courtesy of the wall of windows. Super friendly staff and coffees are prepared very well. I feel I got a good value for my money $16 for a latte, two slices of paleo bread (closest to GF as kitchen is not certified but no gluten-containing ingredients) and a bottled matcha latte for the road. Make sure you call the right location though - there's one under the bridge that may have different items if you're checking ahead! read more

Magpie Cafe - Fantastic latte, probably one of the best I've ever had. - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This cafe has an amazing selection of nutritious foods, and drinks. I tried the beet latte and the turmeric latte, both were delicious! I'm so happy to have stopped here while passing through town. There's a few nice parks nearby on the Mississippi River. It's very close to the highway and there's a great workspace to decompress. Lots of local art on the walls. Friendly staff, I highly recommend Magpie Cafe. read more

Magpie Cafe - Beet latte and Turmeric latte, both delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Wow. Just wow. I was incredibly surprised by this little cafe. Judging by the location, I did not think it would be anything special, but boy was I wrong. There is a very adorable outdoor seating area. It is not very big but definitely gets the job done. There are also multiple seating areas on the inside of the cafe. This would be a great place for schooling or working, as it is quiet for the most part. Magpie's includes a wide variety of options for people who are vegan, vegetarian, paleo, etc. My dad ordered a decaf latte, and I the beet latte because I wanted something healthy. Both were excellent and extremely creamy. I was very surprised by the smoothness of my drink considering all that went into it. There was a bit of a wait for our drinks, which did not bother me, but keep that in mind if you are in a rush. While we waited, I walked over to the corner of the cafe where many organic, natural, and locally made things are sold, including nut butters, soaps, essential oils, and more. There is also a wide range of various healthy products sold throughout the store like raw chocolates, mushroom teas, and immunity boosts. I loved the whole earthy vibe of this place, and love how they have many options for health conscious people. I unfortunately have not tried any of the actual food from magpies, but if it measure up the quality of their coffee, I am sure it is excellent. Overall, I completely recommend Magpie read more

Love, love, love this cafe and cannot wait to return. I grew up in the surrounding area and am first of all super impressed with how this area of Baton Rouge has blossomed into a unique restaurant lover strip. First of all the appearance was very casual and cozy. Outdoor seating and plenty indoor with a coffee trip feel. Definitely appropriate with the close proximity to LSU. I would have adored this place in college before I moved to the other side of town. Service was friendly, and food made right in front of you, which is always exciting. I ordered the paleo special, which I had no idea what they event meant. They asked me if I ever tried it, then explained it very well. I decided to be adventurous and get it a whirl. So glad I did! The paleo special of the day was an open faced sandwich with turkey, fig jam, pear, and arugula on a homemade paleo bread. I'm actually posting weeks after I ordered it, and my mouth is still salivating. I must go back there soon, and if they don't have that special, no worries because the menu had lots of delicious options. Definite 5 star review, and I can't wait to return with a friend :-) read more

Nice coffee shop. They also have healthy options for lunch and breakfast - vegetarian, Paleo, etc. The best latte in town and the barista always remembers your name. Parking is limited and the outdoor seating could be more spacious but don't let that hold you back. As coffee shops go, you'll find your Magpie Cafe experience better than most! read more

Magpie Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This is just a perfect place...when I am there, I do not even feel like I am in Louisiana because it is not your typical place. It is definitely hole in the wall, but not one of those dark and dingy holes that you think bats are gonna come flying out of! Nothing cookie-cutter about it. Even the people that work there seem like they have been trained at San Francisco coffee shop because they just so laid back, not in any kind of rush, etc. Thank you God for giving the person the vision of bringing Magpie Cafe into Baton Rouge!! It is just a breath of fresh air than your typical coffee house! I had some of their delicious coffee in one of they giant coffee cups and one of their breakfast bars! For the location and the cafe layout itself...I give it a 5-stars...very "Central Perk-ish" (for those "Friends" fans out there), but I guess I was expecting them to have hot breakfast offerings...maybe an egg white omelet with fresh veggies. I think Baton Rouge lacks in breakfast places that offer more than a pre-made turkey patty breakfast sandwich and scones. They serve lunch, so my complain is to have a couple "hot" breakfast offerings...nothing fancy. Other than that, I enjoyed the service and the atmosphere! My favorite is the large table banquet table they have inside their dining area and seeing it filled with people on their electronic devices...very modern day!! Keep Yelping... read more

Magpie Cafe - The restaurant is quaint! - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I was happy with the outdoor seating and drink selection. Our coffees were great! My only concern was the food selection. I guess I was misled with the photos of food so I must say I was a little disappointed. Would try again at a different time if there is other food offered. read more

Magpie Cafe - Cappuccino and tomato basil soup. - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

SERIOUSLY! I was not expecting this in "hippie/new agey" town. Delectable coffee, and brunchy egg offerings (the frittata was sooooo creamy!). Their "pop tarts" are crispy and loaded with fruit (we had the banana!). A potato-leek galette brought me back to the pizza on the piazza in Rome - seriously light and delicious. Sweet service. Simply wonderful. Food that won't kill you! read more

What a cute little place! Very rare you find nice coffee shops like this in BR. Highly recommend for a casual coffee hangout. Good service. Coffee is great, baked stuff is always DELICIOUS--they had a king cake cinnamon roll during mardi gras that was divine. Breakfast panini perhaps leaves a little bit to be desired, likely had a microwaved egg patty, but not bad. read more

It's a cute place but definitely a cafe, I was expecting more food options but they didn't have too much. I got some avocado toast that was really really good and flavorful. Their coffee is good and I recommend putting honey in your coffee if you've never tried it, excellent! Atmosphere could be a little better and staff was super helpful and kinda friendly but could definitely work on charisma. read more

Magpie Cafe - Avocado toast and caramel and honey lattes - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I loved this place. I went there times while in Baton Rouge. The food was tasty. I like how they have their breakfast food warmed up ready to be served. Still very fresh. Emily at the cashier was awesome. She was so sweet to the little girl in front of me. She was just a kind cheerful person. I liked my chai latte and my husband liked his Americano. I liked my goat cheese and caramelized onion scone. My husband had the sausage casserole and it was good. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

I'm so happy this place reopened. I never got to try it during my college years because it was closed down. I love little coffee shops and this one didn't disappoint. My favorite drink I got was actually the iced matcha latte. I'm not usually a fan, but the matcha wasn't too strong. The Roosevelt was okay -- it was very bitter! They do have a wide selection of things to add in -- creamer, raw sugar, agave, and honey! The study room is pretty big and they have the prettiest outdoor seating! read more

I enjoy every aspect of this place BC it is a great hangout to catch up with a friend. The setting is mostly of college students d/t probably location. Quality is how I would describe this café. The coffee is like no other that any chain business like Starbucks could compare to. I went with a friend and it was her first time and she loved it too. And I love how they draw little hearts on the lattes which its all about the little things, right!!!!! I love the grits bowl BC it is packed with so much flavor with the bacon, soft boiled egg (which is the best), grits, and avocado, just so much flavor you would have to love. But I know a fan favorite is the avocado toast. Service is always so important to me. Ray was super welcoming as we placed our order. The only thing I could say bad is the parking, sometimes it can be minimal d/t location. But all and all 2 thumbs up!!!!!!!!! read more

The cutest and calmest cafe ever! I got the waffle egg Benny and my boyfriend got the breakfast sandwhich, both were delicious!! I want to go back and get the avocado toast bc that looked awesome as well. The cold brew was super good but with added almond milk it separated a little and looked funky, but tasted good! Will definitely be coming back to this cute place. For more food pics follow my food insta @jus_eatin_good read more

Magpie Cafe - Beet latte - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

LOVED this little gem of a cafe! I was visiting my sister in Baton Rouge and she took me here as it's one of her favorite local spots for brunch and coffee. The rustic decor and mix of group and 2x person tables contributes to the casual and niche cottage vibe. The art work from local children was a cozy touch. The staff were welcoming and at around 11am on a weekday it was quiet with a few patrons working or meeting in the dining area. I ordered some sort of cheesy grits + avocado + bacon + soft boil egg bowl and Oh-My-Goodness, I wanted to lick the bowl. Definitely going to try and recreate this baby at home. My sister's breakfast panino + blueberry bar was also top notch and I enjoyed my iced cinnamon chai. +Bonus points for leaving a bottle of Sriracha out for guests. I may have to visit my sister more often just to visit this place. Just kidding ... (or am I?) read more

Magpie Cafe - Cheesy Grits + Avocado + Bacon + Soft Boiled Egg YUMMY - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Visited this cafe early morning from out of town for coffee, tea, and pastries. Everything was delicious but our favorite was the blueberry poptart. Steady line of customers made us feel like we picked the locals favorite coffee spot. read more

Pros: I love that there are always vegan options (e.g, a pastry, chia pudding, date-nut balls). Coffee and teas are high quality. I had vegan the blueberry poptart today and it was really tasty. Cons: The service is hit or miss. There is a very unfriendly man that usually takes my order. It's just unpleasant to interact with him. Today he put a clearly broken tea bag into my mug, so I had to drink around the tea-parts. There is also no toaster or way to warm food. I would love to get something from the to-go cooler and eat it in the dining area (like the rice & beans). My pastry would be nice heated up, too. The music used to be nice background noise but the last few times I've been in, it's way too loud. Overall, them menu has definitely improved over the past 4-5 years but the rest of the experience makes me not want to come back. read more

Nice basic breakfast, for a good price. Good coffee, but was surprised I had to buy the second cup. I guess with their free wi-fi, some customers might take advantage of the wi-fi, and perhaps indulge in endless cups... But perhaps you might offer a bigger cup if you order breakfast. read more

Yummy, quaint, and nice atmosphere. This coffee shop and bistro is such a treasure. Their food is delicious, with healthy meals and fast service. It's on the smaller side, but it just adds to its charm, there are a few tables for sitting inside and some options on the patio. I would recommend this place for coffee, breakfast, and lunch! read more

I've been here a few times to study and hang out with friends. It isn't my favorite cafe and parking can be difficult. However, I've enjoyed everything I've had here. I usually get small dessert items since I don't drink coffee. I think they're a bit overpriced, but that probably can't be helped. My only complaint about this spot is that the seating is uncomfortable and tight. It would be very hard to have a private conversation here. It isn't a beautiful space, but it is quiet and that's something. The staff is always polite and helpful. They may even suggest certain things if you can't decide! Anyway, I would say that if this place wasn't as close to my home ad it is, I would probably not bother going here but it has its charms. Speaking of charms, the outside seating area is quite pretty. It is surrounded by foiliage. The seating is a bit more comfortable but it is just wood, so you can't sit extremely long. I don't like that people can smoke on their premises, though. Keep that in mind if you are a non-smoker like most of us are.... read more

Traveling through and went out of our way to go downtown and find a local cafe. I have never been so disappointed in food. We got the vegetarian burrito and sausage burrito that took at least 20 minutes to get to go (we don't mind waiting for good food) and when we finally got them, we're pretty much just mashed potatoes in a burrito shell. The veggie one had 90% potato with gross piece of soggy spinach mixed in and warm section of avocado. The sausage one was that with a little unseasoned sausage sprinkled in. The wait staff was very nice and cool atmosphere with promising marketing about local and fresh ingredients .. what a let down! read more

Magpie Cafe - Is this real? A "vegetarian" burrito that is literally just potatoes with a one soggy piece of spinach. Had no taste. - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Downtown branch of the Magpie Cafe has been open for at least a few weeks. I was staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, and while I was looking sadly into what used to be IPO, spotted the new Magpie Cafe across the street. Downtown Baton Rouge is still very much a work in progress, but slowly but surely it's getting there. Hopefully, this Magpie Cafe be part of the future Center City success. I came in twice. Once for Pizza night and the other when they opened at 7 AM for coffee. Service was very personable at door coming in, at the table, and leaving for the evening. Some of it felt like a just opened "eager to please" vibe, but behind that looked like a well considered business model. The food was excellent that evening, and by black coffee was good and strong in the morning. Much better than Hotel coffee. The space is large and casual. There's a well stocked bar in the back, a small private dining area to the left, and outdoor seating. The main room has a mix-and-match flexibility that should along a number of patron/private event combinations. read more

cute little coffee shop. they have a very good chai latte. the people working were very friendly also. would recommend!

Soooooo... saw all these pics and wanting to try all these things... they don't sell anything anymore besides coffee and pastries, no food like toast and such. Service was ok. We got 2 iced matcha lattes... more like milk with a bit of matcha flavor. It's not strong at all, pastries are just basic. This place reminds me of San Francisco with all the tech people at the shop lol. It's not worth the hype for sure. read more

Great food and coffee. My service was also very good. It was a little confusing to order because of the way the posted menu is structured but still turned out great. read more

Love this cafe. Always great and friendly service when I go, even when it's busy. They make amazing lattes that keep me coming back for more! I prefer the food at the downtown location more, but this location still has some yummy food. Get the vanilla latte or the matcha latte if you're stopping for a simple coffee break. read more

Decided to venture here since I was back in town. I didn't get food this time even though I should have. I asked if the chai was spicy, the person behind the counter was confused by my question. Sidenote- I like my chai spicy. She mentioned she could put less syrup. Which didn't sell me so I opted for a matcha with coconut milk... $6.50!!! Hoooo-leee smokes! I was hesitant to pay and thought about changing my order, but I figured I would treat myself. I wish that I didn't I get matcha pretty often and make it at home from time to time. This was worth $3 at best. read more

Hell yes. Everything about this place is awesome. The honey latte was delicious, the side salad and the black bean/goat cheese/ avocado panini (although I'd call that more of a flatbread quesadilla) was very good, but that paleo chocolate chip cookie. Omg y'all. I'm not even into cookies, but the guy behind the counter looks like a Viking and could have talked me into anything. He said it was the thing you try and wow. Softest cookie you'll ever put into your face yet still really rich. Will definitely stop here next time I'm in town. read more

Very cute atmosphere but limited parking for a Friday early afternoon. Very creative drink options but was disappointed that I paid almost $7 for a latte (that was also on the small size). Cute outdoor patio area but very loud since it's right next to Perkins. read more
