Magnífico Coffee Roasters & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Magnifico’s story is one of tradition, love, passion, and family. When I walked in, it was as if I was being welcomed into a home. I was greeted by gentle smiles and laughter - a warmth that touched my soul long before the coffee did. And let me tell you about the coffee.

I got a Lavender Latte, which was recommended to me by one of the owners (Hi Adam!) and accompanied with a welcomed short story of how Magnifico came to be. They roast and brew their own Columbian coffee, and let me tell you…it was one of the best, if not the best, lavender lattes I’ve ever had. It was earthy, nutty, silky, floral, but not too many of any of those things that would make you even consider the word ‘unbalanced’. Sometimes lavender can taste forced and too overpowering in certain drinks - but it complimented the main taste of the roast very very well, was not too sweet, and ultimately delivered a unified and rounded tasting experience.

I also had an Orange Earl Grey Scone just because it was calling my name. Sounds great, I know - and it was. But it wasn’t the only thing that caught my eye, they make and serve a Colombian bread called pan de bono - which is light, savory, fluffy, and happens to also be naturally gluten free. They have one that’s filled with Guava too for slight sweetness, and I definitely will be back to try all of it. Ask them about their almojabanas and empanadas too!

I’ll stop now before I write an entire blog post on a Google review, but I can’t say enough about how great of an experience I had here. Check other people’s reviews for photos - they’re consistent. I was too enamored to remember to take good pics that would do my words justice lol. I wish I lived closer, I’d probably make it a point to visit every week.

Stop in, say hi, ask their story. You’ll find yourself visiting for the coffee and returning for the people - and isn’t that what...

Unbelievable that I’ve been going here almost daily for 6+ months and have yet to post a full review, but it’s only because it almost feels wrong to try and “review” a place that makes you feel so at home.

I’ll get to the most important aspect for most people who are trying to decide whether to come here: the coffee. It’s second-to-none. I can’t get into the coffee bean selection and roasting process because frankly I don’t know a damned thing about it, but I do know that I’ve never seen someone as knowledgeable and passionate about it as Ricardo, and the results are right there in the various delicious, smooth, and unique coffee and espresso offerings that are served.

Magnifico’s baristas are both true artists and mad scientists (who create some truly unique concoctions such as iced coffee lemonade or marshmallow foam cold brews) who clearly love what they do. It’s not uncommon to stroll into Magnifico and see their baristas smiling and dancing to whatever vibrant music they have playing on their sound system.

In terms of the space itself, Magnifico is a great spot to quietly work or meet a friend or colleague for a coffee and delicious pastry. Hell, I bet it’s even a good first date spot! There’s ample seating, and the vibe is lively, clean, modern, and comforting.

But what makes this family-owned and operated coffee shop truly stand out is their personal touch: you’re guaranteed to be greeted with a warm smile by their owners (or any one of their amazing team members), and if you return for a second visit you’ll almost certainly be remembered and welcomed back. Their casual kindness and authentic passion for their neighboring community makes Magnifico a truly special place. I hope they are in Avondale for...
