This was an outstanding lunch spot. The grilled cheese and basil tomato soup was outstanding. This place is adorable and the owner and staff were so friendly. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious the workers were so nice and friendly i felt safe and comfortable if I found this place when I was pregnant I would of went every week the atmosphere is so whimsical its just an amazing place to be. Delicious and affordable:)

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!

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.

A really cool, eclectic place with good food. I had a chicken cesar salad that was loaded with chicken. It was great! The plate was garnished with house special treats, I was intrigued and they hit the spot! Stop in if your in Bartow!

Thank you, ladies of Sweet Magnolias Cafe. Our Girl Scout Troop went to SyFy Bartow today and I enjoyed your cafe so much last year I had to bring them. The girls loved the food. And you were all so nice. Croissant tuna melt was so yummy.

This was my second visit to sweet magnolias and they did not disappoint. The service was great and the food was excellent and plated well. Such great atmosphere. Nice place to stop after shopping the downtown area.

First I have to say how adorably beautiful the place is. The decor is a loud flowery nostalgic aesthetic. Very instagram and Pinterest worthy. Since it was my first time eating here I got a grilled cheese and it tasted amazing. It used a crispy croissant as the bread and the cheese was gooey. It came with a side dish which I chose pasta for. My plate also included some fruit and a cookie. Overall I loved my lunch here, the employee was also so lovely and attentive. She gave me more of my lemonade to go with a bag and a box for my leftover pasta. She even helped me decide which type of grilled cheese is the best to order, and I didn’t regret my choice.
