As you step inside, you’re greeted by tasteful decor and an inviting ambience, enhanced by comforting melodies that create a perfect backdrop for your visit.

For those seeking a hearty start to the day, their ham and cheese bagel comes highly recommended, toasted to perfection and harmoniously layered with flavorful ingredients. Another favorite, the poached eggs on toast, strikes a balance between exquisite taste and presentation that delights the eye as much as the palate. Customer Joe C. raves about the inventive coffee drinks, noting that both the cold brew and lunch offerings are “wonderful.” The commitment to quality shines through every item on the menu, making it well-worth the indulgence, even if it leans a little towards the pricier side.

One of the highlights of Cafetería Magnolia is the attentive service. Several reviews praise the friendly demeanor of the staff, creating a welcoming vibe that transforms each visit into a memorable experience.

Delicious food, great coffee. Only issue was the sidewalk seating that resulted in loud jackhammer sounds accompanying our coffee. Doubt that’s a common occurrence, would come back for that fire sandwich.

Not the cheapest place, but spacious with tasteful decor and comfortable music. The coffee is good, and the food not only tastes great but also looks amazing. I came here several times during my stay in Iquique.

We had brunch here and you need to sit outside as the inside is so small. The day we went it was pretty windy and quite cold outside so this was not ideal. We had the ham and cheese bagel which was really good. The bagel was toasted perfectly and the ingredients all worked well together. The poached eggs on toast were tasty but not the best poached eggs. The cappuccino was quite strong in taste but the americano was good. The waitress was pleasant and friendly.

A wonderful real coffee on a quiet street downtown. Excellent coffees and lunch food, cooked and served a la minute. Nice and attentive service. Great music too!

Amazing coffee shop with very friendly staff. I stopped in here a couple of times, once for a cold brew to go (great) and once for lunch (wonderful). Both times, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the coffee drinks were very inventive. This is a must if you are in the area!

I had the roast bagel and a latte. The roast bagel was really flavorful. Loved all the pickled toppings, and the latte was really good quality. The atmosphere was really nice too! Good music, calm, nice lighting. If i were staying nearby, I would be here all the time.
