Magnolia is such a cute sweet treat restaurant inside of another restaurant called Sisters Thai. There are a list of drinks, cakes, and treats to enjoy. We ordered the Blue Hawaii Sparkle and Ruby Lychee drinks an both were great. The Blue Hawaii Sparkle was very refreshing and light. The Ruby Lychee was great with actual chucks of lychee mixed throughout. We also ordered the sticky toffee cake. It sadly wasn’t our favorite since it lacked flavor which was odd since it looks amazing. We would come back to try other creations on their menu along with thier food menu which looked wonderful.

This rating is mainly on the services we received, not the food we got.
Our group came around 8 pm, the restaurant was crowded at the time but start slowing down within 15 minutes after we got seated. Our group has been chatting and didn’t notice we weren’t served water yet so we were looking around to get someone. They were definitely busy so we waited a little bit longer, so by the time we got water, it was 20 min in. It means for 20 min after we got seated, no one was coming to greet us.
Then around 8:39 pm, we have tried to flag our server down twice so we can start ordering. She keeps saying “Wait a minute”. After the first wait a minute, she went to the table next to us to start taking order. Another 10 min goes by, she was flagged down by another table at the corner and she went there right away, cleaned their table, provided them a check. Then, she ran back to do her other work. We saw that she was done with the check and attempt to get her attention for the third time, this time, she still said the same. We asked if she intends to serve us or not and she still asked us to wait. Our group waited another 5 minutes before she came and took order.
The experience made me felt we were being discriminated for being the only Asian there (the other two tables obviously were not).
Other than that experience, the food came out very fast. Great presentation and tasted good. Our group had a good time.

If you want some AMAZING cocktails, go to Magnolia. Also some delicious food and desserts. Everything is great. We were there for three hours and we enjoyed our time! I appreciate the staff for not pushing us at all to leave lol although we just kept ordering food and drinks will be back!!!

The theme/decor of this cafe is awesome. I’m a big fan of an inside place looking like an outside place. The drinks were good as were the prices. Service on the other hand is where they lose the star. The server brought my drink with whip cream even though I said, and he acknowledged, I ordered it without. And after he gave us our drinks we didn’t see him again. Not even when we got the bill as another server brought us the check. I would still go back.

I love the aesthetics. The food was really good but the rice portions were too small and the smallest I’ve ever seen in any restaurant. I had to order extra. But my main issue was the service. The server gave me and my friend a menu and asked if we were ready to. order right after giving them to us. When I said we need two more minutes she gave us weird looks multiple times and the attitude when we were nothing but nice and kind.

This is not my first time in Magnolia Cafe because I visited it in Vienna, but this one is more better when it comes to interior design. I ordered rose latte and I like it.
I hope you just put your name outside because it was confusing for me to find it haha
Good luck in your new place.

We had dessert here after having lunch elsewhere. The ambiance was great and we had a very nice server. We, however, found hair in the ice cream on the waffle, which they apologized for and changed.

This is a gem of a place, almost hidden inside the Sisters Thai restaurant. It’s located in a beautiful neighbourhood in Old Town North. There’s plenty of street parking available but you can also easily use the DASH Bus Route 30 & 31 to get here. There’s a bus stop right next to the cafe.
I’m not sure if the owners are the same but you’re allowed to use the restaurant seating even if you want to order from Magnolia. Which is what happened to us since the cafe seating was closed by the time we got there around 8:45pm.
The facade, interior and overall decor of the cafe is modelled after European street side cafes. It is a beautiful place to be.
We ordered 4 desserts: Nutella Banana Crepe, Toffee Cake with Ice Cream, Strawberry Banana Waffle and strawberry choux cream. Each one was beautifully presented and tasted great as well!
Once you’ve had your dose of sugar and calories, take a stroll around this historic and very walkable area. And the waterfront isn’t far either.
Overall, highly recommend this place. Definitely worth it!
