Happy Thanksgiving, circa 1981



In the early days of the Omeletry West (before it became the Magnolia Cafe) Thanksgiving was a giant affair for all of the employees. The tables were pushed together in the dining room to make one common table, and Kent was in charge of cooking the turkeys.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings!

Magnolia South closed for new carpet, 10/30/07

Please forgive us for closing briefly on Tues. Oct. 30th, from 6 am - 5 pm. We'll be installing new carpet, a new sound system, and performing other routine maintenance. Opening again for dinner at 5 pm.

The Magnolia West location did the same updating just two weeks ago. It looks and feels great, with new carpet in both dining rooms and new flooring throughout our kitchens.

Your patience is appreciated. Being open 24/8 puts a lot of wear-and-tear on the physical premises. We do in fact need to close once in a while for improvements. Thanks for your continued patronage.

Celebrating Halloween with Amy's pumpkin ice cream.



Amy's ice cream has been part of Austin's quality of life for almost as long as the Magnolia Cafes.

We are excited to offer you Amy's pumpkin ice cream for Halloween. We can't give you a forest of yellow and red leaves, but what better way to mark the changing season than with a taste of pumpkin on a beautiful sunny day. That's autumn, Texas style.

Not 24/8? Magnolia on Lake Austin Blvd. announces brief schedule change 10/15-17.

Being open 24/8 has its demands. In reality, we actually need to close once in a while for both predictable and grand improvements to the premises.

Magnolia Cafe (2304 Lake Austin Blvd.) will be closing briefly on: Mon. Oct. 15th at 3 am.

Reopening for delicious food and good service on: Wed. Oct. 17th at 10 pm.

Please consider driving over the Magnolia Cafe South for the 2+ days that we will be closed for maintenance. We hope to accommodate you there.

Welcome all hungry ACL Festival-goers!

The Magnolia South welcomes you to our beautifully remodeled patio and garden room. It's spacious and breezy, with South Austin details (like our plastic green chairs and funky chandelier)!




Of course, you'll find our usual giant menu of fresh food options at both locations, and (note) the Magnolia Cafe original location is within walking distance of Zilker Park.

We invite you to join us, rest and relax, and have some Tex-Mex, burgers or veggies with a frosty glass of our featured beer: Sam Adams Octoberfest. We're open 24 hours, and serve breakfast all day and night.
