    French toast latte
    Kimberly B.

    I start off by saying this is such a cute little shop. The server was relatively nice. Let's get into the food. I ordered a French toast latte (hot) for my drink. It has no flavor aside from cinnamon. It was just hot milk & cinnamon. I added a little sugar & it helped. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich & soup of the day for my entree. I unfortunately sent it back, due to not enjoying the taste. I was excited about the soup because I was told it had chickpeas. They were not cooked properly; chickpeas typically are best a day later, although I didn't see the chickpeas.. it seems like it had lentils that weren't soaked long enough? Unsure, regardless I was not a fan. I decided to still eat here & ordered the pecan crusted grilled chicken salad. Absolutely DELICIOUS! It was such a fresh & tasty salad. If coming here I would highly recommend this! I would not recommend any of the pastries. The apple danish was slightly underbaked. I know with wet apples, the bottom can sometimes not cook all the way, so at least this one would be a no. Flavor was ok, but texture was off. I also order muffin with carrots, raisins and I believe cinnamon. I do not recommend this either. It was too heavy & not cooked well enough. Because of everything in it, it was still a little too wet. The top of it was too heavy in cinnamon, as well. Overall, if on the hunt for a salad please try this place. Otherwise, not the first choice.

    Wanted to lunch in Beaufort while passing through with a toddler and discovered this place for indoor, outdoor overlooking the marshland, or covered patio in the back. Breakfast served all day! We ordered both breakfast and lunch. My veggie soup was fresh and flavorful with loads of veggies. The Monte cristo my companion ordered looked very good. The pickled beat and ricotta salad was am unexpected option. We loved that cinnamon French toast latte and the ricotta toast topped with fresh berries and pistachios. All said, this was a great option for great tasting, plentiful plates of fresh food, and friendly service with a variety of delightful seating options. We didn't have room for any baked goods.

    Wow! Magnolia Café was exactly what we needed in Beaufort. After a disappointing hotel stay, this place totally saved our morning. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we were seated after just a short wait. The café has a cozy, welcoming vibe and a beautiful view of the marsh--such a perfect setting for breakfast. The food was delicious. I loved the Greek yogurt bowl, the sourdough toast was perfectly tangy, and my vanilla latte with almond milk was so good. My husband's breakfast platter was a hit too. An absolute must-visit for breakfast or lunch. Open weekends 9-2. Don't skip this spot--you'll be glad you didn't!

    Decent brunch spot. Food and drinks were good, our party of 6+ did have a few issues with our orders. Even after we paid and were getting ready to go, another server tried to bring us our substitutions and sides that we requested 40mins prior. Golden milk tea was an interesting try. Felt healthy and warming. Great drink once the weather drops below 70. Be wary of a yellow lip while sipping.

    Loved this cute little bakery, cafe, brunch spot! You can get a view of the waterways of SC from the cafe. I had a seasonal lucky charms latte, and an Italian sub with pasta salad. The servers were sweet and took care of me quickly even though they were quite busy! I just had to take a cupcake home. Definitely visit!

    The cutest brunch spot! They have so many yummy pastries and brunch items to choose from. We really enjoyed the Ruben and avocado toast! The service was pretty quick and the inside was very cutesy with indoor and outdoor seating available. Would recommend!

    This is apparently an old place revitalized under new ownership. The fundamentals are there, with a fantastic space that looks out towards the water with indoor and outdoor seating. Despite the nice weather, I might have elected to sit inside had I anticipated the stinging caterpillars hanging around; not that it's the restaurant's fault as I saw them in other locales as well. Fortunately, I did not get stung, but someone nearby me did have a minor encounter. The place has lots of seating options, so just choose wisely. I was glad to learn that this is the sort of place that offers both its breakfast and lunch menu at the same time, and which has several notably different vegetarian selections that are worth choosing from. Despite pondering a tofu-based breakfast bowl, I was nonetheless tempted by a waffle, which arrived with a lightly chai-flavored cream as well as syrup and some fresh fruit. It was very nice. Ordering a tea got me a pot and a good quality bagged tea. They had a pastry selection as I wandered out, but I didn't need any more. Still, worth pondering for the future.

    Food was okay but service was slow. We wanted to sit inside but were told we had to sit outside when there were multiple tables empty.

    I hesitated to leave a negative review, but after seeing several others who ran into the same…read moreissues, I felt it's needed. After reading the menu we were excited to stop in and try a monthly special. We also picked up a couple gift items for family. I spent more than I should have after seeing firsthand how rude the cashier was. It was obvious she was more than bothered by our presence in there. I held out hope that the barista would make up for her rudeness but I was sadly mistaken. He handed us our drinks and numbly told us to stir it with a straw. I definitely regret stopping in. It's a shame, they have a super cute shop that looks like it has the potential to be a charming low country spot. Instead, it's a very unwelcoming, overpriced regrettable experience. The food probably would have been tasty, had the experience not been so sour. It's the lack of appreciation from employees at small businesses like this that drive me to seek out the bigger chain coffee stores where they at least act like they appreciate my hard earned dollar.

    I suspect that their coffee is good, but we were there for breakfast, having already had our daily…read morecaffeine some time before. So we got the quiche. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, and they had a patio outside with tables where we could sit with our pups. The woman who helped us was knowledgable and pleasant. In addition to two quiches, we got a bottle of cider to go. I'd describe the quiches as disappointing - with no crust and of middling quality. The cider was fine, but not special - wouldn't make a special trip for it. It seems that most of the business there was for coffee, sometimes with a pastry -- and the pastries did look good, I wish I'd had one rather than the quiche I got.
