Magnolia Cafe And Bistro

I had this place on my bucket list and finally went Yesterday 12/02 for my birthday!. It's absolutely stunningly amazingly beautiful on the outside and inside!!!!....the Movie Theater like Bar set up is everything in person!! , The Cafe part is whimsical and so welcoming also!! When you walk in. It's a coffee/bake shop and the sisters 2 is the Thai spot next door (same building just walk over). I had a time frame so I couldn't order too much so I got a Hot Chocolate with whipped cream which I loved!! & got extra to finish the last bit of my hot chocolate!!... the customer service at both the Bar and the coffee shop was very friendly welcoming and wonderful!! crossing this off my list really made my Birthday!!!... definitely returning to try the Thai part of this amazing place!! Looooved the different elves hanging on the bookshelves and light fixtures and the stockings nearest when you come in. The ENTIRE PLACE IS loooooove!! & a MUST GO!!

Haven't been here in a while so decided to pop in! The staff and service was friendly and awesome. This location is within sisters Thai with street parking available.I got the rose tea drink and it tasted great! You can really taste the "rose" flavor.Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the desserts!

So exciting to have more Asian desserts near Old Town Alexandria! The waffle was delicious with both vanilla and matcha ice cream. I would totally get it again! There is also bingsoo and toasts. The restaurant is also decorated with a more retro/vintage theme which I love.

Elegant theme and vibrant business atmosphere. Delicious food, great service and moderate pricing. Street parking available. Bistro located inside the restaurant but cannot be missed.

You have to go through Sisters Thai restaurant to get to this cafe. It's more geared towards desert. I went a little after lunch on a weekday. It was weird that the staff asked me to sit in the restaurant part instead of allowing me to go back to the cafe. I walked back there after placing my order and it was nice. People were back there so I am unsure why the staff suggested I sit in the restaurant. I got a banana and Nutella crepe. I did see the menu of the this restaurant and it's like a newspaper. That's a nice touch. The prices seemed reasonable. I would go back.

If you're looking for aesthetics and atmosphere, this is the place for you! The cafe was hidden in the back and beautifully decorated with a magnolia arc upon entrance, plants, and everything trendy. I came party of two for some dessert. Service was pretty slow considering we just needed dessert (we waited 20 mins), but it was a busy Friday night. Magnolia has an interesting menu with a twist of Asian flavors. We had this matcha bread dessert with matcha ice cream, bread, and a seemingly random assortment of cookies, wafers, fruit, chocolate on it. Truthfully, the combination seemed odd and didn't particularly work together (so we just treated it like every part of the dessert was it's own separate thing), but aesthetically the dessert was beautiful!! Looking around, it seemed like others enjoyed their meal, though I will say the menu seems a bit pricey. Overall, would come back to try other things!

This is an adorable and aesthetically pleasing restaurant that has both savory and sweet specialties. Not only do they serve thai food and other asian favorites, but they have a great selection of desserts and sweet drinks. The crepes or the toasts are a MUST have when you come. If not, the coffee drinks and the asian inspired lattes are great too. Stop by! :)

Wonderful, caring staff! We hosted a baby shower and they prepared a buffet for the group. Cannot say enough about how accommodating and kind the staff were to all of the guests. The decor is beautiful as well. Everyone loved the food! The stir fried rice is sneaky spicy! We can't wait to return.

We went there Christmas Eve. Lightings were good and this place certainly had the festive feel. This cafe is inside a Thai restaurant. Everything we ordered, which you can see in the photo was decent. Service was ok. I found the price to be 20-30% more than what it needed to be. One of the servers was unpleasant and borderline rude. And overall, staff didn't look quite happy! Other than that we enjoyed our coffee and deserts.

This is kind of an interesting cafe as it's inside a Thai restaurant. We ate at the Thai restaurant for lunch but ordered drinks from Magnolia and they were delicious! They had a great presentation, too. However, we also ordered a savory crepe for our son to eat and it was bizarre and not good at all. Recommend sticking to the drinks and the sweet crepes. The cafe itself was cute and loved the flowers on the outside.
