Magnolia’s Cafe

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Magnolia Cafe in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and it was an experience worth sharing! I ordered the “Risk It Biscuit,” which came loaded with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, a homemade biscuit, cheddar cheese, and topped with sausage gravy. Every bite was a delightful symphony of flavors, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. What made my visit even more memorable was the exceptional service. Brad, who runs the kitchen operations, personally came out to check on the quality of the food, ensuring everything was top-tier and amazing. It's clear that he takes great pride in his work, and it definitely shows in the dishes served. Jamie, our server, was attentive and catered to our every need with a smile, making us feel right at home. And I can't forget to mention the coffee. It was out of this world! Mariah, the talented barista who was the first to greet us with an infectiously positive energy, noticed that my heels were dragging so early in the morning, and crafted a cup of coffee that was rich, aromatic which was a perfect complement to my meal. Magnolia Cafe is a special gem in Fernandina Beach. With incredible food, outstanding service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's a place I highly recommend and will definitely be returning to! It will probably become our family’s regular tradition as we depart from Fernandina."

"Went here today for brunch! For a Saturday, it wasn’t crazy busy around 11:30. Each staff we came across greeted us with a smile and they were very apologetic for not getting a table right away. Really, it was a table where the patrons were getting ready to leave and the table just needed to be wiped down. No biggie at all. Didn’t have to wait too long to get our orders either. Everything was fresh and delicious! Our server, Kailey, was very attentive also! My husband and I ordered 2 churro lattes. We were expecting them to be hot as we did not specifically asked “iced latte”. A latte is traditionally hot unless someone asks cold. Nevertheless, I ordered one that was hot. Didn’t want to complain about it. I just gave mine to my daughter. It was delicious at first, but extremely sweet towards the bottom. My daughter who loves sweet coffee drinks couldn’t even handle the sweetness on my hot latte. Other than the latte issue, everything else was excellent!"

"So happy to add magnolia cafe to my rounds when I am in town. Everything about my experience was wonderful! I had the buttermilk chicken biscuit with pimento cheese, onion jelly and siracha honey and it was perfect. The coffee and tea were exceptional. The service was so good, I wish I had gotten her name but thank you again. The bill came with a cookie! I cannot wait to visit again when I’m back next month…. Keep up the good work!"

"As locals we are excited to see this place open. It has been busy since it opened and it is nice that they have a patio and outdoor seating. It’s been so popular in fact that there’s usually a wait - not a bad thing necessarily but hard when you don’t have a lot of time for lunch. Hopefully they might consider just having your order at the counter and being the food out. I think that would speed up the process and people wouldn’t leave because of the wait. The food was really good and came out quickly once we ordered. I had a the beet salad and added chicken which can sometimes feel like an afterthought but the chicken was very good on it. I came back the next day to carry out some pastries which are also excellent - but had to wait for someone to help me - they need a dedicated person for the carry out area if they continue with the same model. Overall we will definitely be back!"

"Went there and ordered the grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup. And let me tell you… WOW!!! I’ve never had a grilled cheese like that before. It was an explosive flavor bomb in my mouth. The soup was delicious too and they paired well together. All of the staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and service was prompt. My server was Jasmine and she made sure that my glass of sweet tea was never empty. 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for Magnolias. It’s so good I’ll probably be coming here at least once a week."
