Big fan of the TV show “Fixer Upper” with Chip and Joanna Gaines? Maybe your significant other is a big fan. Maybe you both are fans. No matter which is the case, you definitely want to check out Magnolia Market at the Silos. The Magnolia Market will may inspire to you work on your own fixer upper with all the beauty you will be surrounded by during your visit. The Magnolia Market offers shopping, food truck dining, and gardens. They even have live music sometimes.
It felt so nostalgic, even though we had never been there before. I’ve spent the last few years using Joanna’s cookbook (which is amazing), and it really inspired my love of baking. Her storytelling with each recipe has given me such an appreciation for cooking and sharing meals with my family, so being here felt extra special.
We started with coffee and explored the grounds. One of the place settings at Magnolia Home had “Welcome Mr. Arthur” written on it, which is our name, so it felt coincidentally personal. The green space was incredible for our boys, the whole atmosphere felt like being welcomed by family. You can tell it was created to gather people, and you really feel that warmth while you’re there.
We even have a framed photo of our kids playing with the sign “Everyone has a story to tell” behind them to remember the day. We grabbed lunch from the food trucks, all trying something different, enjoying what other businesses in Waco had to offer. And of course, we had to end our visit at the bakery with cupcakes because, like Chip says, “road trips are more fun with cupcakes.”
For me, this was one of the best stops in 11,000 miles.
Make sure to also try the restaurants in Hotel 1928. It’s just a 10 min walk or so from the Silos, but there’s parking nearby too. The rooftop view is great and you can see the Silos from there. It’s also magical to visit during the Christmas time.
It is very expensive but the shops are really cute and fun to look around.
The food truck selection was honestly amazing. So many to choose from. The grilled cheese & sweat tea ones we tried were great.
The church was gorgeous and the best part of the visit!
Overall, it was a great visit but definitely a tourist trap and not sure we would have reason to visit again.
From the moment we arrived, it was evident why Magnolia Market is so highly regarded. The attention to detail and the warm atmosphere instantly made us feel welcome. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding a personal touch to our visit.
One of the standout features for me was the incredible selection of candles available. The scents were absolutely breathtaking, and I couldn't resist purchasing a few. The attention to quality and the dedication to creating unique fragrances was evident in every candle.
The overall ambiance of Magnolia Market is something I can't praise enough. It's a beautifully curated space, filled with tasteful decorations and stylish items. It truly reflects the impeccable taste of its owners, Chip and Joanna Gaines.
After spending a few hours exploring the market, we were so glad we made the decision to stop by. Whether you're a fan of the hit show "Fixer Upper" or simply looking for a delightful shopping experience, I highly recommend visiting Magnolia Market. It's a place that exudes charm, creativity, and warmth, making it a must-visit destination.
