Magnolia Bakery earns glowing reviews for delivering lush, ultra‑creamy Banana Pudding—often called the best and a consistent, must‑visit classic—while feedback on other items is mixed. Reviewers praise decadent textures, fun monthly pudding specials, and reliable in‑store consistency, but note weaknesses such as occasionally dry cupcakes and cakes, overly sweet flavors, lack of vegan options, and shipped or non‑NYC pudding tasting less fresh.

If you're ever in NYC go to their location in West Village and get the banana pudding. TO DIE FOR.
who doesn't love a bakery that sells slices of cakes. Magnolia Bakery is a NYC classic and a go to for all birthday needs.
Best banana pudding I have ever had! Their monthly specials are so fun!
The banana pudding is the best. Great gift, great treat, love the classic over the seasonal flavors. It’s definitely a bit touristy, but I love it !
I grew up with Magnolia Bakery and their banana bread pudding is the go to. The cupcakes can sometimes be dry if not purchased right away!
I know everyone loves the banana pudding and cupcakes but the brownies are where it's at. I live close to a couple locations and I always and stop to grab one before hitting the road.
Honestly I hate anything flavored banana but magnolias bakery banana pudding is TO DIE FOR! Do not waste one second not buying this, by far the best thing in the bakery!!!
Living in New York and working near Rockefeller Center, I've frequented Magnolia Bakery many times, and without fail, their Banana Pudding is the star of the show. It's hard to resist the allure of this classic flavor, although I've explored other options like the carrot cake version and found it underwhelming. For me, nothing beats the timeless appeal of Magnolia Bakery's Banana Pudding, making it my ultimate go-to treat.
I am not a banana pudding lover, but Magnolia Bakery changed my mind! Totally worth the hype!
Magnolia Bakery is an absolute delight, and I owe my discovery of their heavenly banana pudding to a dear friend. Whenever I'm in the vicinity of a Magnolia location, it's a must-stop destination for me, purely for their incredible banana pudding. Trust me, once you try it, you'll understand why it's so highly praised – it's simply divine.
I might be biased, but Magnolia Bakery truly lives up to the hype. Plus they are expanding into grocery stores. And, their online shopping makes a great gift! Also, killer partnerships (hello, Magnolia Bakery x Boy Smells!)
The banana pudding is so yummy
I received a cake from a friend and it came in perfect condition. Cake was moist, sweet but not overly so.
Delicious! Perfect when you’re craving something sweet & homemade.
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

Honestly, haven't tried many of their products aside from the banana pudding (and many seasonal variations of it!) and it slaps every time. I even tried making the recipe at home and while it tastes the same, something about the texture of buying it in store is just perfection. My only gripe is it's wayyy to expensive for what it is, but hey, I'll give them my money any day.
I’ve been getting Magnolia Bakery’s banana pudding for well over a decade now! Thank goodness they ship now, too.
