Magnolia Bakery reviews and discussion

Best banana pudding I have ever had! Their monthly specials are so fun!

Magnolia is an amazing bakery. Their cupcakes are moist with flavorful, not too sweet, buttercream frosting. The most noteworthy item is their banana pudding. It is creamy and delicious.

Absolutely looooove their cupcakes

SO DECADENT SO DELICIOUS I loveeee their banana pudding

The Banana Pudding is by no means overrated. The Lemon Bars are extremely underrated and I used to bring them across the Pacific when visiting a friend, because she loved them that much.

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.

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.

Growing up in the South, you get home made banana pudding all the time - so I was really excited to try this and honestly it was mid. I do end up at Magnolia every once in a while because it does feel like the only option in the city for banana pudding, but it doesn't meet the hype.

My mouth is watering just trying to write a review. Honestly might jump in my car right now and go buy some banana pudding. Yes it's that good. I never try any of the other flavors, so I'm coming strictly from a banana pudding perspective. 🍌

Really delicious! My mom and I made this during Covid and a cooking class.

I lived in CT for 4 years and was a short train ride to NY where I would always go to Magnolia. This year for my dad’s birthday I shipped him some banana pudding since it’s his favorite. The quality was the exact same as purchasing it in bakery, and the shipping ordering process made it so convenient and easy. I would definitely recommend ordering, some of the best pudding around (btw the sampler pack with red velvet, classic banana, and chocolate hazelnut is off the charts).

Good quality that holds up to the brand name/expectations.

I will say the Banana Pudding is to die for, but everything is super overpriced even in store. And the cupcakes I got last time I was there were stale - $10 for 2 cupcakes too!

As anyone who has eaten banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery will tell you, it is AMAZING. Creamy, the right texture, totally 10/10. Still, since going vegan, I haven’t been able to go near any Magnolia Products. Unlike most bakeries of their scale, they offer nothing vegan. It’s a real disappointment and prevents me from even buying standard options as gifts for friends like I used to.

I don’t find this bakery to be anything more special than another NYC bakery down the street. Their food and treats are yummy but not a wait in line for hours sort of yummy. It might have something to do with me also not liking bananas so maybe that is worth it

My favorite cupcake ever since I tried them years ago. Banana pudding slaps too.

Tried them a few times while I was in new york and I absolutely love their pudding (specifically their banana pudding)! Everything was soft, creamy, and not too sweet which was perfect for me
