Andy GastauerSeptember 6, 2017Cute little place in the basement. They also have a patio. There is no separate gluten free menu but if you just tell the server they can help you. They do have gluten free options.
Achint SethiJuly 8, 2013It can be a little tricky to find (ESP. If you are driving to it). Trick is to park on Main Street and then walk. It has a back door close to main and St. Paul but it could be hard to see.
Sara MolaverJanuary 1, 2013Literally the best breakfast I've ever had. The staff is friendly, everything is all-nature and locally made. Worth the trip back up to Burlington for this breakfast alone!
Upbeat and relaxing tunes, funky art - you'd never know you we're on the lower level of an office building. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and the coffee is fantastic!
Floyd GreenwoodMarch 21, 2015Food was delicious!!!! Didn't mind the wait. Had some hot chocolate and whip cream while we waited
- Achint SethiJuly 8, 2013Definitely get the oatmeal pancakes.. Amazing!! The maple sausage was something I had never heard of, it was delicious!
Rachel FarmerMay 16, 2014Wonderful food and horrible service. Be ready to wait at least an hour and do not expect an attentive server. The food is amazing, you just need to be in a very patient mood when you go to Magnolias.
Worth the wait. Gluten Free friendly- and local gluten free bread! Localvore obsessed and some of the best waitstaff around.
Rachel CohenJune 1, 2011Oatmeal pancakes were delish! All the homemade sauces were phenomenal too! Check out the jams and homemade ketchup
Bene 4 LYPHE! Lemon hollandaise sauce is incredible. It's not on the menu, but ask to sub hashbrowns for homefries, and get cheese on top.
Abi Dunki-JacobsMay 16, 2014The service is very slow and not attentive, but the food is really delicious. If you're going to be here, make sure you have a lot of time and a lot of patience.
Shar CastellanoOctober 10, 2011Been coming here for breakfast everytime we go to Vermont. Huevos con diablo is really good.
Kate LeonardJuly 21, 2012Lots of homemade and locally sourced foods. Lots of vegetarian options too!
Vassilis BakopoulosNovember 1, 2011Everything we tried here was fantastic. Service was excellent too.
MacCall BuckleyMarch 18, 2012The oatmeal pancakes are the best thing I have ever had!! Especially with coconut!
Add salsa to the meat lovers omelette. Takes it from great to fantastic.
- Always, always, always, order the daily bread special!
Mike FowlerJanuary 31, 2010Vegan? Fear not, Magnolia has a considerable number of menu items that are designated specifically as vegan, and many more that can be made vegan by simply removing an ingredient or two upon req. Read more
Don't miss the seasonal pumpkin bread french toast, SO good!!
Joe MescherJanuary 15, 2011Breakfast is great, especially the black beans, polenta and eggs -- So fresh!
Mary ShillueMay 30, 2010The bloody Mary is fantastic for garlic lovers. Surely this will cure anything. And it's organic.
Shane Snipes, PhDSeptember 25, 2010Great local spot, good food, local choices. This place is about community first.
Ned BAugust 25, 2013Warning: They will confiscate your coffee at the door, even after you've waited in line for 40 minutes. Definitely not a good first impression, Magnolia. Improve your customer service.
