Magnolia Bakery reviews and discussion

Picked this up on a trip to Chicago because I'd heard about it for years. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was greasy. Really wish I didn't hype it up before I gave it to my friends - did not live up to expectations.

Magnolia Bakery is a great spot with delicious treats, and their Banana Pudding is a standout! The creamy pudding, fresh bananas, and crunchy Nilla wafers make it absolutely irresistible. A perfect dessert that’s always satisfying!

Oh goodness Magnolia Bakery is sinful. Yes, they have amazing banana pudding, but they've also crept into Costco as of last week and have a box of 18 individually wrapped soft baked cookies - "Banana Pudding Cookies" -in classic vanilla with white chocolate chips and confetti- with white chocolate chips. You want these. If not by themselves, they make an incredible base for a scoop of vanilla icecream!!

Great little bakery in Los Angeles that is well known for their banana pudding. They also make custom cakes and they look amazing!

Always a delightful treat when I’m in the city. The banana pudding is by far my favorite thing on the menu. I do enjoy their cupcakes, but I will not say they are my favorite in the west village. My husband even loves the banana pudding, and he rarely will eat sweets!

I had heard so much about this bakery and was more than excited to place an order to be shipped to my home. Didn't take that long to recieve. The brownies were so beautifully wrapped. Looks like time was taken. I love the box. Haven't tried them yet. The banana pudding is wonderfully delightful. Such a great treat. Sizes are are great for the price. Thank You for putting a smile on my family's face. We are very satisfied.

The banana pudding is to die for

What’s not to love ????????!!!!!!! The BEST.

Bought their cupcakes which are very cute and made in detail. The taste is a bit too sweet for my taste bud but great to bring for parties and gifts. The price is a bit expensive but you can feel luxurious with these baked sweets.

Magnolia bakery has amazing products and they are absolutely delicious. You must definitely have to try.

Magnolia has the best banana pudding ever. Period.

I love their banana pudding

Last week I had ordered their infamous pudding and cake to celebrate my birthday. I tried the Hazelnut pudding straight away, was good. I messaged them to see if the bananas were suppose to be mushy? Guess it’s normal, tasted great but mushy bananas are not my thing. The cake and pudding had come Friday and birthday celebration was Sunday. We followed the instructions to a T, but the cake was shared between multiple ppl and not a single one of us ate our piece. The confetti cake wasn’t even edible. If the cake was any dryer it would have been sand. We could smash the cake in our fingers and wouldn’t leave any cake debris from it being so dry. I’m not sure if something happened in transport or what it was, but this cake was not ok!? The packaged seemed somewhat cold but not as cold as expected. I had gotten a response from the bakery about the pudding but yet to receive any type of a response about the cake. Very disappointing.

I got their cupcakes and banana pudding as birthday desserts. I do not love the cupcakes but I highly recommend the banana pudding!

no joke I dream about their banana pudding probably once a week. Ordering it online is so nice, but honestly, it doesn't taste as good as just getting it in NYC. biggggg fan

As someone who cannot stand bananas, I unfortunately cannot review the banana pudding— but so many people love it that I’m sure millions of people can review it for me. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious, but not, to me, worth the price; trying one instantly reminded me of that Pulp Fiction scene with the milkshake. Definitely a great place to visit for a little classic NYC tourist moment, but not necessarily a staple for me.

Cupcakes so decadent

Got the mini cheesecakes for a friend’s birthday and it was a hit! Will continue to do that for other people’s birthdays. So so delicious!

Their desserts are good and iconic, but too rich for my blood. I will say that their consistency is impressive - you never catch the cakes or the banana pudding on an off day, they always taste exactly the same, and that's very impressive.

The banana pudding is among the best I've tried. It's super light and far more airy than most. While the classic banana is my go-to, the seasonal flavors make it fun to visit Magnolia at different times throughout the year. The cupcakes are also delicious and aesthetic with different pastel-colored varieties. Perfect for a gift.
