Magpie Diner

Stopped in on the way to DC on a Thursday morning. We were able to be seated right after we walked in which was wonderful. Service was fine, it is just difficult to hear clearly since seating is a little jammed (at least on the side closest to the bakery which is where we were.) I would give the lattes a 10/10. My breakfast sandwich bread was dry and there wasn’t much sauce to balance that out so I was disappointed in my selection . My husband enjoyed his bowl though. If I were to go back, I would order something more traditional like the french toast or waffles or just order from the bakery- the almond croissant was to die for!!

Magpie did not disappoint. My salad was flavorful and new and so was my Muelle’s Apple Cider. The only ones who were not too happy were my pumpkin waffle orderers. The dollop of creme tasted too squashy and less sweet. Otherwise, excellent and a real treat over all for everyone.

Good breakfast but not quite ideal. Cranberry ham biscuit sandwich was good but cranberry flavor overpowered all other flavors. Biscuit was cooked to perfection. The frittata was ok but tasted like it was not freshly made. Coffee and service were good We also purchased pastries and bread; pastries were good. Bread was over baked (see photo of bottom of bread) and burnt was the main flavor on the loaf we got. Overall a great concept but I felt the place missed on the details. Next time I’ll check the bread more carefully.

I had never been here before, but so glad to be introduced to this lovely little gem! A friend and I met at around 11:30, but we both got breakfast. I had the fritata. It came with an arugula salad and was very tasty! We also had the blackberry cream pie, which was amazing! The server was on top of things, and though busy, he was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is busy and loud, but we were still able to have a conversation. Overall, I loved the diner vibe

When you’re on a long motorcycle trip that takes you through Harrisonburg, you read reviews and choose where to eat based on those reviews. Magpie topped our list and we are so happy we stopped for lunch! The atmosphere is bright and welcoming and the food was delicious! I had the Magpie Granola with yogurt, fruit, honey & chi seeds, and I wish I could’ve finished my meal, but they just give you so much! Also wish they sold the granola, it was probably the best I’ve ever eaten. My ride mates had the roast beef sandwich, sausage & gravy, and the ham & cheese sandwich, and everyone was very pleased with their meals. Our server was friendly and attentive, a senior at JMU studying Health Sciences (I didn’t catch her name), which is also what my daughter studied there, so it was fun talki
