Named after the remarkable flower developed by Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Yellow Magnolia Café offers modern, vegetable-focused cuisine in a one-of-a-kind setting nestled within the Garden’s iconic landscape.
Designed by David Rockwell, the café is bright and airy and overlooks the Garden’s Lily Pool Terrace. The café is a celebration of its urban garden setting, with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors—an ethos in keeping with the Garden’s longstanding interest in sustainable practices—and menus inspired by Brooklyn’s artisanal food movement. The café’s seasonal, market-driven menus feature local vegetables, grains, and sustainably sourced meats and fish as well as healthy children’s menu items.
