Love the decor here. LOVED the hot mocha (sans whip and marshmallows). I will say it was "THE BEST" hot mocha I've ever had and it comes down to the young woman who made it. So I can't say my next cup will be as delicious as this one was. As I type this I'm regretting not getting 4 lol, for later. One more for now and 2 for the next day. Wish they'd had a 24 oz choice. I purchased 3 pasties for my neighbor who has invited me over for dinner. I of course can't go over empty handed so I wanted a dessert above the rest and felt Magnolia Cafe would fill that level only going by the pictures I'd seen on Yelp. This was my first time here. By the time I arrived (3p) there were literally six choices and none looked all that impressive. Most likely old and sat out all day up to that time. I don't eat pastries or much sweets (except for mochas) so I can't comment of how fresh or good they tasted. My neighbor didn't eat them while I was there. All I can say is to me they didn't look very fresh. Since they were closing in 2 hrs they really should've had these discounted. But I will return in hopes of another "BEST EVER" mocha and this time trying a lunch out item with a friend.

We enjoyed this restaurant during our first two visits, appreciating the atmosphere, dessert, and coffee. However, on our third visit, my wife ended up in the ER after inadvertently eating a piece of avocado. Due to her allergies, she is always careful to review the menu and avoid any potential allergens. Each time we visited, she selected the same dish, ensuring to confirm that it did not contain avocado during our first visit.
During our third visit to the restaurant, a piece of avocado ended up on my plate. I brought this to the restaurant's attention, intending for the dish to be remade. However, things took a turn when the owner confronted our table. She argued that it was our responsibility to inform the kitchen staff of any allergies. Her demeanor was rude and unreasonable. I reminder her that the dish did not call for avocado and was safe to eat during our previous visits. Additionally, she mentioned that she could not guarantee against cross-contamination of her foods due to the kitchen's setup and suggested that we should not dine at her restaurant in the future.
Some people should not own or operate a restaurant if they are unable to acknowledge their mistakes or learn when to apologize, stop talking, and move on. Accidents happen all the time, and I understand that. However, it's not acceptable to belittle others and shift the blame instead of taking responsibility.

I was excited to try this place, driving 76 miles one way to check it out. I even called ahead to confirm that they would be serving lunch. Unfortunately, my visit was a letdown. I was completely ignored by the staff on multiple occasions, making me feel like I was invisible. When I finally got someone's attention, I was told that I had missed lunch by just 10 minutes. Needless to say, I won't be back.On the bright side, I discovered a wonderful Italian cafe and restaurant in Pasco called Imbibe and Ciao Trattoria. The owners are warm and welcoming, and the food is authentic and delicious. It reminded me of my favorite Italian eateries from my days in Italy. If you're looking for a great Italian meal, I highly recommend giving Imbibe and Ciao Trattoria a try!

Pretty good place to stop by for pastries. If you’re into coffee this is not your stop. I got a macchiato (“traditional”, not a sweet caramel drink) and it was underwhelming. It’s normal cafe coffee, and is not their selling point. Friendly staff and good food though.

I love everything about this place. I’ve been here 3 times and each time the food is excellent, the coffee is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and aesthetically pleasing, and the folks working there are hospitable and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend this place! You can tell that love and good taste created Café Magnolia.

Not impressed with the pastry. Also no price tags and no receipt. You get your total and then understand the cost. No ingredients and no name of the cakes. Prices are to high for the quality and ingredients. It was my 1st and last time there.

I’ll start with saying the service was great— the man taking our order was very familiar with the food and friendly. The food, however, costs far more than it’s worth. What’s shown in the picture attached was $20 all on its own. I should have known the price was going to be astronomical when it’s not stated on their menu. The flavor was interesting, to say the least, but not worth the price tag.

Super expensive, low quality coffee and the avocado toast was the most I’ve ever paid, and not very good. Upside the people were very friendly.

The spartak is especially good. I'd like to try it with a fruit layer.
The "Danish" was not what we typically call a Danish in America; it was a lot of plain bread (too much bread) instead of some sort of buttery puff pastry.
Prices were shockingly high, even for 2024. That said, I'd still get the spartak again.
Their deserts are AMAZING! Very rare to find a place that makes things from scratch. I bring everyone that visits to this place and love the location. The way she decorates is really nice. It creates a warm and inviting place to sit and visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't know what it is but lately their desserts hasn't been the same, Ecclairs were too sweet, carrot cake doesn't taste right and pastries are not as fluffy and tasty as they used to.

Cafe magnolia has a beautiful atmosphere, and even better food. If you love coffee, and experiences, you will love their Bosnian coffee experience. We were there for brunch and got the Greek pizza. Think open faced Gyro with an egg. And their homemade pastries are perfect. Try the Spartak. From the texture to the not too sweet flavor profile, it is magnificent. If you’re in the Tri-Cities, make your way there. It’s totally worth it.
