Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. From. outside does not look like a Thai restaurant more like a french bistro - go figure. But the food is authentic and delicious. Had the salad to start and the peanut sauce was addictive, I even put it on my drunken noodle and nearly liked the plate.

We went there Christmas Eve. Lightings were good and this place certainly had the festive feel. This cafe is inside a Thai restaurant. Everything we ordered, which you can see in the photo was decent. Service was ok. I found the price to be 20-30% more than what it needed to be. One of the servers was unpleasant and borderline rude. And overall, staff didn't look quite happy! Other than that we enjoyed our coffee and deserts.

So delicious! My friend took me to this place a couple of days ago. I forgot to write a review, but it's amazing!! Service was super nice and sweet. I love it!

You supposedly have to go through the Sisters Thai restaurant to get to the bakery. But the restaurant hostess stopped us and made us order our coffees at the hostess stand. We wanted to enjoy the cafe ambience and take our time. Instead we had to awkwardly stand at the front of the restaurant to wait for our order and they did not allow us back to the cafe section. I'm still puzzled by the experience, why didn't they let us go in?

Ordered the rose, aun chun affagato and chocolate malt latte for take out and the cup was tiny and we were all shocked when we opened our drinks. The latte was only literally only quarter full. It tasted good which is why I left 3 star for food but for the price which the drinks were $8 you barely got a gulp. Disappointed!

Only been here for two short visits, but both have been great. Food, drinks, and atmosphere are great, definitely plan a longer meal here at some point!

Just stopped by for a quick coffee break. The ambience and service was good but the hot chocolate itself was pretty average.

We paid about $7 for the strawberry cake and found egg shells in our cake :(Not sure how it got in, but couldn’t really finish eating it after finding out.

If you're looking for aesthetics and atmosphere, this is the place for you! The cafe was hidden in the back and beautifully decorated with a magnolia arc upon entrance, plants, and everything trendy. I came party of two for some dessert. Service was pretty slow considering we just needed dessert (we waited 20 mins), but it was a busy Friday night. Magnolia has an interesting menu with a twist of Asian flavors. We had this matcha bread dessert with matcha ice cream, bread, and a seemingly random assortment of cookies, wafers, fruit, chocolate on it. Truthfully, the combination seemed odd and didn't particularly work together (so we just treated it like every part of the dessert was it's own separate thing), but aesthetically the dessert was beautiful!! Looking around, it seemed like others enjoyed their meal, though I will say the menu seems a bit pricey. Overall, would come back to try other things!

I only ordered drinks and dessert here. Snow ice tastes really good. Others are fine but not surprisingly good. Ahn chun latte(I’m not sure abt the spelling) tastes okay. Cold drinks are sweeter than hot drinks, so depends on ur preferences.

This is an adorable and aesthetically pleasing restaurant that has both savory and sweet specialties. Not only do they serve thai food and other asian favorites, but they have a great selection of desserts and sweet drinks. The crepes or the toasts are a MUST have when you come. If not, the coffee drinks and the asian inspired lattes are great too. Stop by! :)
