Magnolias Coffee

Our first time eating at this place. We loved the ambiance and the atmosphere. The outside shaded area is a plus along with the ceiling fans.

The service was great and the food tasted great. The pancakes were fluffy.

Overall good experience at Cafe Magnolia. The food and drinks(Especially Breakfast)are pretty decent at affordable prices. The menu is quite varied. Everything from pizza, sandwiches, seafood u0026 pasta. Plus all the typical cocktails, juices, beers and sodas.
The service is friendly, but could slow at times.
It’s located right in downtown playa about a block away from the 5th Avenida.

If you want to have the waitress and chef mock you and laugh at you as you walk in the door, for being from the United States, this is the place. If you don’t want to deal with a waitresses that refuses to accommodate you and a large group, go somewhere else. The food is mediocre , so why bother and waste money here. There are TONS of amazing places in Playa del Carmen. Don’t spend your hard earned money here.

Chilaquiles were excellent. Coffee was average. The waitress went ahead and added in her own very generous propina (tip) which was a first for me.

Great breakfast!! I ordered the canasta eggs, it was egg cooked into the center of a piece of toast. This was a first and it was delicious. The food was very affordable and prepared reasonably fast.

$$$ Disappointed in this place and annoyed. Coffee is NOT good. Service very slow from the back. One waitress (our main one)was very friendly and helpful, everyone else is not very kind or welcoming. Very snotty dishonest behavior. Not sure if it’s because we are American, but I will never come back to this place and I’m telling friends and family to go elsewhere. The food is decent, but there are other places that are better that appreciate and want your business. The cashier added in pen to the printed check and told me that was the real total when the real total was above it stating 125 pesos less. She tried to make me pay a 20% tip still after I told her “no, I will be the one to decide the tip”. She was trying to take advantage thinking I don’t know how to convert pesos and US dollars and can’t add and subtract percentages. She argued with me again. She still argued saying we owe more money so I pulled out my calculator and added every item we ordered in front of her based on the prices they charged printed ON the check. Then I told her that Americans would tip more if you didn’t try to add and take advantage. I lowered the tip to 10% because they did this and we left. I was about to leave nothing but the one girl was nice to us. I wanted dessert, but changed my mind with all the poor treatment. The dishonesty of establishments that do this is disgusting and gives Playa del Carmen a bad reputation because many people don’t notice and end up tipping on top of their added tip or they see it and don’t want to argue. We usually tip way above 20% consistently, but doing this here makes me not want to tip nearly anything near 20% or anything at all. The next restaurant that does this to us, will get no tip at all.
Oh and also, this place is quite expensive compared to nicer restaurants, the air conditioner feels broken, the chips for the nachos were hard and very CHEWY, and the water is $2.50 for a small bottle USD!!!
This place could be so much more with a better wait staff and manager.
