45 Years Later…
Yes, We’re Open! Hooray, and yes indeed!

The Magnolia Cafe started in 1979 on Lake Austin Boulevard, and expanded to South Congress in 1988. Through the decades, we have had the privilege of seeing multiple generations of our community from near and far come through our doors and create memories in our booths. We’ve gotten older, and the city has grown too. We are honored to still be standing today at our South Congress location. Businesses like ours — small, family owned, community-powered — will not be able to survive the challenges of the Covid-19 era without your support. We are grateful for the ways you bring our food and energy into your lives and routines. It’s nice to see you, and thank you for coming back!

We are currently open every day from 7 am - 10 pm with many options to enjoy our food. Dine-in service is available every day of the week on our beautiful garden patio and in our air conditioned dining room. Contact-free curbside pickup is available with online ordering. Hope to see you soon.

And about the Magnolia Cafe on Lake Austin… you heard right, that location is now permanently closed. We appreciate all the love and fond memories y’all have shared with us since we’ve announced this. We loved this retrospective about that location in the Statesman and Austin 360 - click here, and also remembering that time President Obama visited. We also loved this tribute in the Austin Monthly. Thank you for 41 great years on Lake Austin. We hope you’ll come visit us on South Congress! We live on!
