Sweet Magnolias Café & Gift Shop in Bartow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

Such a cute place and very good food!

The food is delicious, and atmosphere makes me feel like I'm eating at home! ❤️

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

Very nice people and a great place to eat food is very delicious 👍👍👍

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!

This is a lovely cafe with delicious food, and excellent service! Sandy was very kind and hospitable. The atmosphere is very cozy and there are funny and inspirational signs/quotes everywhere. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back!

Best little cafe! Had this gem recommended to us and didn’t disappoint! If you’re in the area you definitely want to stop here!! A+++

Great people, great service, great food

Good breakfast egg croissant. Owner waiter was great and talkative.

It was my first time there and Loved it!

Cute place and welcoming atmosphere. Food was simple but fresh and delicious. I had a combo turkey wrap and taco soup. Best taco soup ever. The turkey wrap was just made and is the best turkey wrap I've ever had too.

What a wonderfully eclectic place! Dined for lunch 2/2/24. Most amazing, friendly, and accommodating staff! Loved our food. Friendly conversation while awaiting our daughters' arrival for lunch. Will definitely be back and bring our friends. Worth the drive from Lakeland for sure!

Such a cute place! Outdoor seating was perfect for a nice sunny day, and the food is yummy. I got the Turkey sandwich pressed, and I loved the bonus mini cupcake.

I had the gyro with fruit, they always add a little cupcake. I love all the sayings on their walls. You feel like you are with family.

Thank you for a wonderful breakfast for our class reunion. The service was excellent and the food perfect. We appreciate it!

I love this whole downtown area. We had lunch at Sweet Magnolias Cafe & everything was perfect. Fresh made and tasted great. Everyone there was so nice.

Good food, fair price,great atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service.

Incredible sandwiches! Whether breakfast or lunch, you will be pleased. Highly recommend the potato salad, too!

I love coming to Sweet Magnolias!. I love the chicken salad croissant, potato salad and the vegetable/mini cupcake garnish! Great place to bring a daughter, sister, mama or an out-of-town friend. Very friendly staff and owner. A treasure in Bartow.

I have been eating here since it first opened and the food has been great every time. Today I sat down in their outdoor seating with my dog because it was vet day and they were very accommodating. Thank you guys ! 😊

Super friendly staff, super clean restaurant, and great food! Deanna and Penny, and everyone else was great. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re ever in Bartow for lunch!

Always good food. The team is always eager to please. You can't go wrong here.

Good fellowship with friends, great food and great service!!

A very quaint and quiet place to eat and relax. The food is delicious and service is down home country style. The place is filled with antiques.

Delicious place to grab lunch! Everyone was so sweet and the food was delicious!

I hosted a baby shower at Sweet Magnolias and they took care of EVERYTHING! It was the most stress-free, amazing shower! Everyone had a great time and the food was delicious! Thank you so much for making this day perfect!

It was a fun place!! Beautiful and homely and the service was wonderful and the food delicious!

Nice quaint restaurant with a fun atmosphere. Really geared towards the ladies but my husband enjoyed it as well. Only open for breakfast and lunch.

The cutest little shop. Just love the chicken salad croissants.

Super friendly, yummy food! Indoor or outdoor seating.

Woman that works at the cash register is rude

Could have spent more time in this cute place with delicious food reading all the Wall posters.

This beautiful place in Bartow, has great food and you get to sit outside. Like a Hallmark movie! Great staff!

Great food, service and cute cafe!

I love this place! I'm from Ohio and when I visit my friend here locally, this is a must go to for a late breakfast! I ordered a quiche and French toast sticks, the sausage and watermellon were bonus side items! Their syrup is amazing! The people are always so friendly and helpful! Price is perfect in my opinion!! Can't wait until the next visit!!

Came here after Jury duty on a Monday. The owner Sandy was working hard. She was so sweet as a southern bell. The deco is cute and retro take a look up at the original ceiling the food was amazing my husband got the grill cheese which he loved I got the tuna melt which was delicious. Try the raspberry iced tea! All the food is customizable and can be swapped when you need.

This is so good the setting is so cute the employees are really sweet and the food is amazing will definitely come here again

Such a nice little shop, run by very nice people.

Such a cool hometown feel to this art-filled restaurant. Food was outstanding, service was wonderful, and even the customers were friendly 😂. I live in Miami, so what a delightful change to have people smiling, gracious, and kind everywhere you walk. I love this place and I absolutely recommend you stop by for a meal.

Super charming place to grab a quick lunch in Bartow. Plenty of different kinds of soups and sandwiches and wraps. plenty of different kinds of soups and sandwiches and wraps and baked items. I always get the soup and sandwich. There is both indoor and outdoor seating.

What a special little place to have lunch. I'll be going back again and again for the great food, excellent service and perfect ambiance. I'll see y'all soon. Hope you have some of that delicious French onion soup leftover. A memory shared with my sister. I'll enjoy time and time again.👏

All of the employees are friendly and ready to meet your needs. Also, their prices for the fresh food can’t be beat!

Great little place in downtown Bartow. The food is good and the service is awesome! Good shopping around them too. Definitely worth a try. I'll be back!

This place is only ok and over priced for what your paying for. I don't think I will be going back.

One of the best chicken salads I’ve ever had!! The croissant it came on was nice and fresh too. I did a walk-in order and my food was out in less than 2 minutes. 10/10

Cute place sitting in the heart of the downtown of Bartow. Perfect location. Loved the outdoor sitting under the beautiful weather. As for inside, it has many cute and inspirational saying posters on their walls. Love the fact they seems to honoring God. I took my wife for a date on vacation (we are Wisconsities). However... I gave it three stars for three reasons: 1) it said it has a coffee (since another coffee shop within walking distance closed on Monday), it is just k-cup coffee. It's not the coffee in its right. So, I felt deceived. As most of you know, it's not cool to deceive anyone. 2) food is okay. I had veggie wrap and its bored. It has carrot, green lettuce, tomato, cheese, and some kind of dressing (not "wow" dressing, mind you). I made my own wrap that is so delightful (same items as above but addition to sprout, julienned bell peppers, parsley, and vinegary creamy dressing (very low sodium). My wife had chicken wrap. Also bored for similar reason. I have pasta salad as side, they are pretty decent but in small portion which is disappointing. My wife have slaw and same result as mine. 3) thankfully, they have outdoor seating because indoor seating is getting too crowded with line of customer. With that, we will not starred this on our map. We had better. Then again, this place is pretty decent for a quick fix and quick escape but not for a guy who wants to impress the woman he loves.

I googled coffee shop and this place popped up. I wanted a coffee for my drive. After I paid i notice that they use a keurig machine. Really? Not for for me! I went right around the corner and got a real cup of coffee at the cuban Cafe.

I loved the tiny dessert on the side ,what a wonderful touch. My turkey wrap was delicious 😋

Absolutely loved our experience here, the food and staff were incredible! Such a cute dining area inside and out!

Great specials, great service, fantastic atmosphere indoors as well as out, what's not to love?

My Sunday school class of 14 met here for lunch. They reserved 3 tables for us, flawlessly received and delivered the dishes -- which were all delicious, and made us feel right at home. The decor is adorable and uplifting. Perfect place for small groups.

The people are so sweet, and the food is plated beautifully and tastes great!

This place is awesome. But for whatever reasons one of the regulars sits in front of the place smoking where others are eating.

A nice place for lunch with a friend. We both had the egg, chicken and tuna salad trio. Delicious! Service was excellent and reasonably priced.

Love this place, the food, and atmosphere. Friendly people

Best o' Bartow... Delicious food and fun to be there

Love Sweet Magnolias! Food is always delicious and service is great! My favorite is the Monday Special- taco soup! They have delicious sandwiches, soups, and more. Definitely a gem in Downtown Bartow!

The owner was really nice our first time eating lunch there. Their grilled cheese sandwich is to die for and she even told us how it's made. This is a family run place. Her mom works next door running the candy/icecream. Egg salad sandwiches and broccoli soup is so good.

Such a cute place to visit we loved it

Being a Bistro/tea room type place we didn't expect much ...just the usual dainty sandwiches with some fruit. Oh, my...the food was ample and tasted great! The presentation was awesome! Many small rooms filled with tables and merchandise. Delicately decorated.

Huge selection and amazing owner! Do yourself a favor and check out the gift shop without the kids first!

The food and atmosphere was simply AMAZING! Very friendly staff!

Nice staff and atmosphere. Food was fair.

Cutest place & sweetest staff! My fam had the BLT, BBQ, and a grilled cheese, and we left full and happy! The ladies that work there were so sweet to my three year old son and he was free to be himself. Totally calm and carefree vibe and fun decor. We loved it :)

The staff here is very friendly i love the pasta salad here and am always welcomed here.

Great atmosphere, dine in or outside, wonderful staff, great place to have lunch!

Sweet people, seeet treats. Great candy shop for gifts ;)

This little cafe is very good and the service is excellent. Love the little touches with each meal; piece of cantelope and sweet almond muffin with peanut butter icing today. Highly recommend!

Super cute place located in downtown Bartow. The prices are reasonable and the good was pretty good. My chicken salad was just a little sweet for my personal taste but it was still really good and the pasta salad was amazing. I should have grabbed a to go container of that. I will be back here for sure. Also there is a perfect little fancy high end thrift shop around the corner called Top Buttons be sure to check it out!!!!!!

First visit there. The food I had was excellent. People were friendly. Would recomend it. Will go back when in that area.

They are just the nicest people and it's so cute inside. Love the milkshakes and Taffy.

Our family loves coming here! Ice cream is amazing! Customer service is great!

Love this place. Childhood candys. My daughter and I went in there for some ice cream and I was a couple cents short and they still helped us out.

Great home town atmosphere, decor kept conversations going. Service was quick, and friendly. I will return!
