Sweet Magnolias Café & Gift Shop

Love this place ! The food is always so good (especially the chili!) & fresh. Love the decor and vibes of the workers everyone is friendly. Definitely a Bartow staple, it’s a must try if you haven’t already.

Went today, ordered and food came out almost around the time I sat at my table. Service was THAT quick! Food was delicious, the owner Sandy was a delight. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food at this privately owned cafe. Mother's Day event is always spectacular and I would highly recommend it. A great way to celebrate mother's Day or just to stop by and have a heavenly lunch.

My parents and I stopped by for lunch today and had a great time. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. The soup, chili, salad, and sandwiches were all great.

Food taste salty and the quality of the food taste like it comes out of can. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. Owner not very nice.

We only ordered coffee, as we already had eaten. Loved it! They practice Southern hospitality...which is rare in Florida.

I took the back roads from Bradenton to Orlando and stopped in Bartow Florida. Was blessed to find a whimsical cafe called Sweet Magnolias. I was enticed to walk in to this enchanting space when i saw the brightly colored chairs and live parakeets on the entry patio. Once in, my artistic senses went in overdrive with the fun decor, a mix of both vintage and new. Food… Ah-mazing! This day I had an Ultimate Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque Soup and a Sweet Tea. Fantastic!!!! So good, I’ll be making the one hour drive again just to have lunch!

I stopped in for lunch at the referral of a friend and another local business owner. Kudos to the owner and entire staff! I had the triple play, which is their egg salad tuna salad, and chicken salad served on lettuce which is a touch of chopped tomato to make it look pleasing to the eye, along with a fresh fruit salad, (that comes with it), and WOW! It was DELICIOUS!!!!!! Now I must go back and try other items on the menu! I loved all the signs precariously located on all of the walls in all of the spaces possibly available and it was just my cup of tea! Hats off to this adorable restaurant! I highly recommend to anyone that hasn't been there!
