Crema's Take

“Magnolia's is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot where the quiet, cozy atmosphere belies just how packed this place gets—regulars and newcomers alike keep coming back for thoughtfully crafted sandwiches, pizza, and salads that arrive quickly even during lunch rushes. The staff strikes that perfect balance of attentive without hovering, and there's a sense that the kitchen takes real pride in what they're putting out, whether it's their famous Obama soup or a generously portioned Capricciosa pizza. Near the university and consistently bustling, it's the kind of independent cafe where you can actually relax while eating something genuinely delicious.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

I’m glad I could finally check this place out! We got right in at 11, and the place was full by noon. The menu is impressive, and everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere is quiet, relaxing, and great for conversation. I look forward to returning.

First, great as always. I have never been here without it being packed. The sandwichs are great and even when its busy come out pretty fast. I have tried many things on the menu and have been happy with all of them. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. If I had one issue…

Came here for the first time and me and my fiancé were very impressed. Our waitress Ranae was just the right amount of attentive, not too much and not absent. I got the Wisconsin with mac and cheese and it was phenomenal, highly recommend. Fiance got the soup and sandwich deal,…

We just had a great lunch in the open. Great quality food. Great service. Rene, our waiter, was excellent! Obama soup, now famous, was delicious. So was our Greek Salad with grilled shrimp. Popular place! It was packed on Wednesday afternoon.
