Magnolias Cafe

We couldn't be happier with our experience today for lunch. The Food, the Coffee, the Baked Goods were all amazing. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out.

We do not have a lot of breakfast places in the area and the ones we have are okay at best. This is locally owned and I was really hoping this would be a step up. I walked in and was greeted right away, given a menu and my drink order was taken. I was not told of any menu omissions and decided on the fried tomato benedict. The server then told me that the fryer was not working so that was not available. There were several other fried options and those were also not available. I understand that things break but I would think they would have two fryers or tell me the fried items were not available before I decided on my meal.I landed on the western omlette. It was served with toast and hash browns. The omlette was great, it was very hot when it was served and the cheese was thick. The toast was not pre buttered, the butter that was provided was cold. Any restrauant that serves real butter should know that it should be room temperature so it can be spread. If you don't want to do this, serve country crock or something. The hash browns were awful. They were shredded pretty fine and cooked to an extra, extra crispy temperature and were very dry. The server was friendly and did her job for the most part but nothing extra.I would say I wouldn't eat there again but due to the limited options I probably will.

They have a lot of options to choose from on their menu. The cappuccino was great. The French toast bought itself is amazing. However they top it with the refrigerator, cold, canned peaches. The peaches were not good. The Belgium waffle was OK but very sweet. And the ham cheese egg croissant was not very warm. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The decor was very cute.

I had to revisit Magnolia Cafe since my first review was during opening week and they were just getting started. I arrived around 10:30 am and there were 3 tables with people and 20 empty tables. The 2 waitresses were very attentive and the Cafe is definitely clean and orderly. I've attached the breakfast and lunch menu along with a separate menu for drinks. They have a very nice selection for breakfast and lunch so I tried the full breakfast bowl, which was very good. The prices are reasonable and compare more to a 2 star restaurant. I think this place will really be popular once the word gets out so I'm going to enjoy it while it's one of the best kept secrets in Yulee.

We stopped in for a coffee this morning for a nice casual atmosphere where we could sit and do some puzzles together. We love it here because the people are always very welcoming and, well, the food and beverages are delicious too, of course. This morning we only had coffee though. I tried something off their Halloween menu, It's Freakin Bats espresso beverage, and absolutely love it! The other drinks off their spooky seasonal menu look delicious too. I'm sure we'll be back to try another one. Our waitress, Lisa, is very attentive and sweet as can be!

Love the Magnolia Cafe! It's great to have a comfy breakfast place in the heart of Yulee. We have been to the one in Fernandina Beach too for breakfast and they have a great deal of options. I like the atmosphere. It's like a diner with great food without the noise and cramped space.

Let me tell you something about this place!!! Firstly, I am a foodie, I expressly say this place has absolutely knocked it out of the park. I had zero expectations walking in. As you enter, you are presented with the menu and donut display, while limited today I am sure it was due to the time that we arrived. It has been my experience that Most donut shops are open early and closed early or when they sell out of donuts. We ordered a variety of donuts to experience complimented them with a hot Matcha latte.( also awesome ) I selected the Cajun Benny for breakfast. Absolutely delicious !! This is one that I think Justin Wilson would be proud to eat. The hints of Cajun seasoning throughout are present without being overwhelming. That spicy smoked sausage is the perfect way to accentuate this dish. I was impressed by the perfectly poached egg, both were spherical and cooked perfectly. I even had to inquire as to how they achieved that delicious level. In my opinion this stole the show over the Donuts but that's just me. Mind you, the donuts are good. Worth the money as they are quite pricey.

We did a takeout from Magnolia's. The cinnamon roll was delicious. It was cooked to perfection and had real cream cheese frosting with nuts. Very good!

As good as the food was, that's how bad the service was.The place isn't that big so 3 waitresses and a busboy should be able to handle it.We waited at least 10 minutes just to figure out when a waitress was going to be coming over because other tables were being serviced, and we were neglected. The waitresses were too busy cleaning tables and not taking orders.We both got coffee and the waitress said she'd bring spoons but never did, so we had to stir it with our knives. She brought water, but never brought us straws.

Nice atmosphere. Were seated immediately very attentive service. Breakfast was good served quickly and prices were reasonable for breakfast. Would definitely go there again
