On a weekday , what is the latest one could get away with going to magpie and still have a full selection to choose from?
Only ever get a chance to go on Saturdays and the queue is too off putting

From my knowledge, they’re only open Thursday-Sunday.
I go sometimes around noon on Thursday and/or Friday and generally have an okay selection! I try to only go on Thursdays and Fridays.
The best coffee and pastries in the city and the nicest folks work there. Glad they are doing well. Wouldn’t it be cute if they had a lil takeaway window on St. Augustine Street?

I go there at ~9 on Fridays from time to time and there's basically no queue, maybe 2-3 min

As others have said, they're only open Thursday through Sunday. But I will say in my experience, it's completely random. Sometimes they sell out super quickly, but the other week I got there around 1 on a Saturday and while there was still a queue (always moves fast tbf), there were still plenty of options.

I’ve been there at 11.30ish on some weekdays and there’s definitely not a full selection but more than half, and no queue.

Get there at 9.30 on Saturdays. They deserve our support. The bread and pastries are amazing, the staff are lovely and the coffees good. 5 stars

Enquire whether you can order for pick up at a certain time.
May be they will, maybe they won't, but sure if you don't ask, you don't get
