After you pay for everything, if it's nice outside, the best and closest place to enjoy your baked goods and beverages is Bleecker Street Park , which is caddy corner from Magnolia.
Their banana bread pudding is one of the great desserts in NYC. They have new varieties with chocolate chip and salted caramel , but the original is the winner.
My kids think this place is heaven. Icing is a little sweet for my taste, but cupcakes , cakes & pies are all pretty damn good. Constant long lines , but move pretty quickly. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
The bakery that Carrie and Miranda visit in Sex and the City , so always a popular spot. Great options for cakes and cheesecake , with a lovely little park opposite, perfect for enjoying your treat
Anyone who visits NYC must take a detour to visit this bakery ! Their cupcakes are amazing. My absolute favorite RED VELVET ! Their banana pudding is also very tasty, to die for!
Yes, it's a hype fuelled by Sex and the City . But the cakes are delicious. Take one to eat outside in the mini park opposide the shop.
Magnolia pudding is out of this world and the key lime cheesecake was really good.
The cheese cakes are amazing and the Banana Bread Pudding is straight out BananazZZzz out of this world.
Summer 2017 banana pudding : June-Rainbow confetti, July-Magic Bar vanilla+toasted coconut+graham+chocolate chips , Aug-S'mores chocolate+graham+marshmallow fluff, Sept-salted-caramel dulce de leche
Try the red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting . Delicious! Actually, you can't really go wrong with any of their cupcakes .
The banana pudding is the best I've had, hands down. The mini cheesecakes are also great.
Cute and authentic store. Buy the classic banana pudding if you want to have a nice snack ln the go ✨
They might be the reigning King of Desserts regardless of the season, but a holiday favorite is the sno-cap cupcake- devils food cake topped w/peaks of savory meringue icing dusted with coconut flakes
Best Bakery in NYC. Come here as often as possible! Unbelievable cupcakes , best ever blondies, and the most decadent homemade banana pudding ! My favorite place on earth!
This is the 1st opened in 1996. Famous for being featured in Sex&TheCity show. Also known for their banana pudings . Finally, Recommended on Insta by @andershusa.
Their cupcakes are even better than you've heard. I love them and I don't even like cupcakes (I make an exception for theirs)! Also try the mini-cheesecakes and the banana pudding is delectable!
This bakery is the place where red velvet cupcakes were born! Depending on season, also try harvest apple and banana ones. Be prepared to put on the most delicious kilos :D
What is not to love about the famous Magnolia Bakery? Try anything and EVERYTHING-- especially the cupcakes ! They make a great treat and a well appreciated gift ! We love S'mores and red velvet cupcake
Banana pudding > unhelpful/unfriendly service. How many does X feed? We don’t know. What to bring to a din? We can’t help. Want a pie ? Order in advance. Halloween cupcakes in window? Order in advance.
Cute little patisserie , very well known and for a good reason. Definitely try the red velvet cupcake , it's a classic!
The best cakes , cupcake , and muffins , in town ! Also ask for a piece of carrot cake and a glass of cold whole Milk ...
Red Velvet Cupcakes . You can't live in New York or visit New York without coming here. Delicious and a tourist attraction . It's been in Sex and the City so obviously you have to go!
Absolutely love their chocolate & red velvet cupcakes .. yum!!
Definitely has become a popular tourist spot, but good thing is that cupcakes are so fresh since the waiting line is quite long, and cupcakes go out very quick.
Baked perfection! Cheesecakes , cupcakes , cakes , and all other baked delights are all amazing 😍
Bake 7.3: Famous cupcake place in NY. Only downside is that they often run out very quickly so the selection can be restricted because as soon as they come out of the oven they are pretty much sold. Read more
The only cupcake worth getting is the vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting . No one does those better than magnolia!
Say no to the cupcakes ; the frosting is just too much. Get the banana pudding instead! You won't regret it...
Thank you Magnolia for letting me skip the cupcake like to pick up a cake and have it customized!
The classic stop from all the movies . I love coming here, but am still more a fan of their frosting than the cup cake base.
Since Miranda and Carrie from Sex and the City sat outside the bakery eating cupcakes at the original location on Bleeker Street the iconic neighborhood bakery has never been the same. Find out more: Read more
Their Bread Puddings are divine and a must-try! http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/139618027971/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-the-west
This specific location of Magnolia Bakery on Bleecker St is what started the cupcake craze in NY & then took over the rest of the country . The red velvet cupcake really does taste the best here...
Lemon cake . I've been thinking about it for weeks it was that good.
We really wanted to get some cupcakes but they are self serve and some bratty rich kid kept licking her fingers and reaching in to help herself! They looked delicious though!
Best. Banana . Pudding . Ever. If you love bananas , you will go bananas over this dessert !
The banana pudding is like no pudding you've ever had before. It is simply amazing. However I had a slice of caramel cake once and that was a mistake. It was very dry.
Even the water bottle is from "Magnolia Bakery". Lovely. BTW, the cupcakes are amazing! If you can, pls, go! :)
Tourists love telling everyone back home about the cupcakes here. Im not much for sweets. Thing is, they are actually pretty darn amazing.
Their cupcakes get a lot of hype but I'd skip the cupcakes and get the banana pudding instead - best in the city .
The famous bakery made famous from Sex and the City . You can't go wrong with any dessert here but we love the bread pudding !
Yes! the cup cakes are delicious. I ate 5 before I could take a pic
I must be the only person to receive an extremely dry and disappointing red velvet cupcake here (based on other tips). every other flavor I've tried was great though - a nice stop for tourists !
The pumpkin spice cupcakes are out of this world 😭
Iconic! And lives up to its reputation, delicious cupcakes and great service.
Banana pudding is awesome lol but.. I recommend it's better to choose small one! If you don't like eating dessert , it is too sweet!
The banana pudding is so good, we gave it to my dad for his birthday instead of cake and he will never eat cake again.
Any New Yorker knows you don't go to Magnolia's for the cupcakes . Dry sponge, hard icing. But the banana pudding ... People would kill for that straight up crack.
Best cheesecake in the city IMHO.
Cupcakes (3$ each) are really good and not heavy although I expected a better presentation.
