    I've been here more times than I'd prefer to admit... The cupcakes are consistently a soft but dense cake with balanced icing. I haven't seen anything like the ice box cake at any other bakery nearby, it's great for when you're really craving something sweet. The service has always been good, the workers help everyone promptly and have never messed up my order. Tonight I went and two welcoming gentlemen were working - they were patient in explaining the seasonal cupcake flavors and helpful with choosing which ones to get. I really appreciated the warmth and hospitality, it just goes to show that even with as much traffic as this place sees, they still take good care of their customers.

    I must say that I left with great enthusiasm, I bought a red velvet (cake not good but very good buttercream), I took a banana pudding but nothing exceptional. The name in this case is not directly proportional to the quality, finally I would say to the saleswomen please a smile you are in New York!

    Viel Hype um nichts!? Das Ambiente im Laden ist gemütlich und es gibt eine große Auswahl an Gebäck. Preislich liegt die Magnolia Bakery eher im oberen Bereich, die Qualität der Produkte rechtfertigt das aber nicht immer ganz. Der Service ist oft freundlich, aber es gab auch mal unaufmerksame oder gestresste Mitarbeiter, gerade zu Stoßzeiten. Insgesamt: Gute Auswahl, ein berühmter Banana Pudding und nette Atmosphäre, aber manche Produkte sind für meinen Geschmack eher durchschnittlich und zu hochpreisig. Daher solide 3,5 bis 4 Sterne.

    Dovevo assolutamente provare il banana pudding di Magnolia, e questa sede vicino al mio hotel mi è piaciuta molto: c'è tantissima scelta, i ragazzi sono gentilissimi e sono disponibili anche i cucchiai per l'asporto! Il banana pudding era cremoso, dolce, con pezzi di pan di spagna(credo) all'interno. Davvero ottimo. La carrot cake invece mi è piaciuta di meno, ottimo il frosting ma l'impasto non mi ha convinto. Porzioni enormi, e in totale ho speso 15$ Assolutamente da provare per un turista, Consigliato!
