Sweet Magnolia's Cafe & Bakery

I live in Flowery Branch but recently took over Auto Fitness in Gainesville and I have been looking for a place just like Sweet Magnolia's. When my daughter visited me for lunch I thought we would try it out and I am so glad that we did. The minute we walked in I thought the place looked great and felt so clean. Made it to the counter and was told that it was family owned an everything was made fresh. We were made aware of the specials, the bread and the soup of the day. I am a Rueben sandwich nut and it's so hard to find a really good, authentic one and they nailed it. Fresh corned beef the right amount of sauerkraut and the thousand island was perfect. My daughter got the Cuban and it was also made to perfection. I understand the importance of word of mouth and reviews and if you haven't been to Sweet Magnolia's you've got to visit, you won't be disappointed. Now that I have found them, it will be my go to when I am craving something healthy (great salad menu) or just a fresh sandwich. Oh, the potato salad was so fresh and great as well. Thanks to this great place for changing the way I will be experiencing lunch, I'll be bringing members of my team here weekly as a reward for their work. Looking forward to coming back. Oh and it's worth circling the square multiple times to park close however I'd walk from the parking decks. Pete Bowbliss manager Auto Fitness Gainesville.

After reading the reviews, I wanted to give Sweet Magnolia a try. Now I realize I am from NY, but ONE slice of Turkey, did they run out? The sandwich and salad were tasty, but $15.00 later I shouldn't feel hungry already!

Ordered a coffee and a bacon/egg/cheese croissant sandwich. They spelled/said my name wrong, which is fine, but like, awkward because it’s a fairly common name. Instead of a coffee, they gave me an americano. I probably would have ordered a different drink if they had told me they didn’t do drip coffee, but I saw a drip machine directly behind the register. They were also out of half and half. The americano kind of tasted like ash, but I guess it wasn’t “bad.” The sandwich was fine, nothing special.

Christi and I ate a late lunch at Sweet Magnolia's on the square in Gainesville, GA on Monday. I ordered a cornbeef on marbled rye with chips and a water while Christi decided on the Carter Wrap, chips, and a soda. The staff was professional and friendly, the establishment was clean and nice, and the food was good. However, it was pricey for a couple of sandwiches at $32.

In town for a wedding. Wanted somewhere quick and light to grab lunch and Sweet Magnolias is the spot! Staff was helpful and patient when deciding what to order. I decided on the veggie sandwich on sourdough and it was one od the best veggie sandwiches I've had.

Such a unique soup, sandwich and salad shop. I eat here about once a week as my office is close by. Everything is so good! I love the veggie sandwich and chili and their salads are great too. Great little place to stop in and check it out!
