Another local brand will be joining the Sacramento International Airport. Magpie Cafe, a Sacramento-based farm-to-table restaurant, is among the new vendors coming to the airport over the next two years. A timeline previously published on ABC suggests that Magpie is anticipated to open in Q3 of 2025.
“Magpie is landing at Terminal A in The Sacramento International Airport- All hours, full service, bar, breakfast and Sacramento Style. Let’s Fly!” The business posted on Instagram with a screenshot of the space rendering, showing a full dining area with lounge sofa and individual seating.
Established by Sacramento natives Ed Roher and Janel Inouye in 2005, Magpie Cafe started as a catering company and opened in its original location on R Street in 2009. Today, Magpie Cafe occupies the beautiful space across from Fremont Park on 16th Street. The restaurant features a robust menu that changes based on the restaurant’s partnering farmers and peak-season ingredient availabilities and a full bar serving seasonal cocktails, spritzes, wines and beers, and a handful of non-alcoholic mixed drinks.
The airport Magpie location will be a licensed location operated by HMSHost. The location is set to open between the second and third quarters in 2025, alongside two other local brands in Terminal A: New Helvetia Brewing Company and Centro Cocina Mexicana.
“A fixture of Sacramento’s dining scene, Magpie will bring food reflective of the cultural and agricultural bounties of California’s Central Valley to Terminal A at SMF. Here, travelers will have the chance to enjoy farm-to-table fare that celebrates what makes the city and region special,” said HMSHost in a press release.
