Sweet Magnolias Cafe & Gift Shop

Absolutely loved this charmer! Great vibe, super cute inside and out! The service was utterly delightful! Go to the counter and order! They are super flexible with their menu options. My awesome friend ordered the tomato soup and the grilled cheese! She loved them. I got the salad sampler. Tuna was spot on. Chicken was a little sweet for my taste. Egg salad was delicious. Ditto side of fruit. We both loved our entire experience. Highly recommend.

Read about this place and was looking for some breakfast so here we are! Street parking but this was a Sunday so it wasn't bad. Nice homey feel. Pit in an order for the club wrap and chicken salad sandwich. Both were delicious. Everything is fresh. Service was quick and efficient. Great spot for lunch for reasonable prices.

4.5-5 stars! We were in the area and saw the pretty outdoor seating and couldn't help myself to just pop in for a quick visit :). Literally spent maybe 10 min bc we only had time to use their restroom and order 4 mini cupcakes lol. I loved this whimsical, cheerful and somewhat cluttered decor. So much too look at and just made me happy! Employees were very sweet and comped up a free mini cupcake. To be honest I didn't like the cupcakes lol, boxed mix and can frosting, BUT they were cute and I just loved the atmosphere sooo no regrets lol! I'd for sure stop by again.

Honestly the nicest people I have ever encountered. We had to do some very boring stuff at the court house but this place certainly brightened the day. I got a veggie wrap with vegetables and hummus and my boyfriend got a grilled cheese with turkey and chili combo with potato salad as a side. This place is very reasonably priced, conveniently located, and so so cute. Definitely take the time to stop by here and grab a quick lunch, the line moves so fast and the food comes crazy quick. We'll definitely be back if we're ever back in Bartow.

Super cute place! Food and service was great!Stopped for a quick bite sat outside with my pup.I had the BLT added turkey breast for a Club my husband had the egg salad. Great potato salad and cute bite size treat red velvet cake bite.

What a cute little gem in the town of Bartow! I happen to come across this place while searching for places to check out while we were heading over to Clearwater and I'm so glad the cafe popped up. The bright and charming atmosphere was lovely and welcoming.There is plenty of comforting options such as food, drinks, and sweets to choose from. I ended up getting jelly beans and Skittles for my kids and went with a double scoop ice cream cup. The flavors were strawberry cheesecake and moose tracks. It definitely filled up my ice cream fix for a hot summer afternoon and my daughter finished it off with two thumbs up.The friendly service was a nice touch to the visit. The gentleman, who was my server, welcomed me back and thanked me for coming in to try some of the sweets they had. It's worth checking out while you're in the area to fill your comfort craving.

What a great find! This little restaurant has adorable signs to read while you spend a few minutes waiting for your food. The ultimate grilled cheese croissant was amazing and so was the taco soup I got as my side dish. As an extra treat each meal comes with a mini-cupcake with an adorable design on top. Service was great too. Nice people.

Amazing atmosphere and food. The service was amazing and was able to meet the owner! I had a Grilled Cheese with Ham, owe and gooey, but very tastey!! Need the old timey smell and courtesy this is your place on Mainz Street! Will be returning anytime I'm in Bartow! Thanks!!

Unfortunately, my second visit did not go as well as my first. The second visit EVERYONE in my party had either a stomach ache or diarrhea after eating lunch within the hour. This is no coincidence. I also read the sign they have in there, "if you complain, they will laugh at you". No point in calling the owner after hanging a sign like that, so here is your review. Never will come back. Cute place and cute signs, but hurting bellies.

My go to lunch spot if you work in the area! They serve a lot of ( in my opinion ) comfort foods. My favorite is their ultimate grilled cheese that you can get on a croissant or ciabatta bread. It's always so gooey and delicious.
