  Won't stop can't stop advocating this place. I go whenever I am in the city. My favorite cheesecake ever (caramel cheesecake), it just melts in your mouth. They have a huge choice of different sweets. Go check it out!

  Otro de los muchos locales que esta cadena de pasteles y cupcakes tiene por Nueva York. Popularizado por aparecen en series como "Sexo en Nueva York", suele tener cola y no puedes comer en su interior, pero el sabor de los diferentes cheesecakes es realmente bueno! Merece la pena pararse a conocerlo.

  Everyone on the internet has been raving about the Magnolia Bakery banana pudding for forever, and I decided I couldn't miss out on my recent trip to NY. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the hype; the pudding wasn't exceptionally flavourful, but rather mellow. That alone is fine with me, however, the biscuits inside also weren't soft enough for my liking. It felt as if it was just made and thrown in the fridge, without having time to soak in any of the moisture. I would understand that they're very busy, but I still don't think they should sacrifice quality for sales. Overall, I believe that places in Toronto such as Rosie's Burger offer a more delicious banana pudding, at a cheaper cost as well.

  I had the banana bread pudding which I normally don't enjoy because of the artificial banana flavor but this one was really fresh and you can actually tasted the fresh bananas. It was not to Sweet. Really creamy and tastie, I would definitely visit magnolia again!!

  Ok so I see all these positive reviews, and I am pretty confused. I’ll talk about the actual food first then get to the service. Food: I had the “famous banana pudding”, and I honestly think someone should go to the south and actually have authentic banana pudding. The pudding was mostly cream with very little banana flavor or really banana in general. There was no texture. We usually expect some soaked wafer texture or something other than cream at the bottom. Honestly it was very disappointing. I’m kinda upset I wasted the calories eating it. The cupcakes we ordered were incredible dry with icing that could rot your teeth but no flavor in the actually cupcake. The cheesecake taste like everyone other cheesecake. Kinda reminded me of Wegman’s. I have the place a three because it is average maybe even a 2 star on the food but the service brings it down to a one. Now on to the service: We ordered online and put explicit notes to add pink icing inside the cupcakes serve as a small gender reveal to my daughter. We wanted a special family moment not to be online or show to anyone but to include my daughter in the journey. The notes made it to the receipt taped on the bag. But they didn’t actually do it. We didn’t want a specialty made cupcake with a pink was the entire cupcake or anything like that. We really just wanted them to insert the icing bag inside the cupcake and put a small amount of pink icing in there so that when my daughter cut it she would be able to see. They didn’t do it. While my daughter is OK and my wife is not upset about it. I can’t help to think about how this took a special moment away from my daughter. Overall, I do not recommend this place. They’re better bakeries around here than this. The food wasn’t good. The service wasn’t good so maybe the ambience in person is great and that’s what everyone’s rating about but I can’t see the hype and I really don’t see why people are so in love with this place.
