Top Review: “Doo-Dah Diner provided one of the best breakfast experiences I have ever had!  The food was delicious, the service was impeccable even though the restaurant was crowded, and the atmosphere was delightfully quirky. I had one of the specials, a crab eggs benedict served on hashbrowns rather than English muffins.  I also ordered a side of jalapeño bacon.  The crab benedict was filled delicious crab and the hash browns were crispy despite being dowsed in tasty Hollandaise sauce.  The asparagus was perfectly cooked and a great addition to the dish.  The bacon was crispy and had some jalapeno heat!  (I am going to try to replicate the jalapeno bacon at home).”Carol B.

Top Review:You should come for the environment. A coffee shop full of plants, art, and really modern vibes. It’s a cool place to stay for coffee, a conversation, or even for a quick visit. The staff is full of energy, and seem like they really like working there! Makes each visit very enjoyable. The coffee is great of course, but the food was unexpectedly really good! My friend and I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado, and it was surprisingly very filling for a quick brunch snack. I’ll definitely be back, and recommend visiting if you haven’t been.”Tommy V.

Top Review: “Magnolia Cafe has a lovely appearance inside and out, the decor is beautiful and very welcoming. This was only exceeded by the service; not only was our server exceptional but we could clearly tell the other servers were well received by their tables as well. The food was amazing and even though they don’t have a kids menu, they certainly have kids breakfast options that our children devoured. Loved everything about this experience, we will definitely be back.”Chelsea I.
