I don't like bananas . And I don't like bread puddings but I love Magnolia's banana bread pudding with a passion. I LOVE EVERYTHING Magnolia! Cheesecake & cupcakes are incredible. Lines here are insane

María

Cakes , cupcakes , muffins ... Everything is flavoured. My favorite: red velvet !

Loved that it was in the grand central terminal. Didn't have a chance to try the famous banana pudding but their cream cheese brownie was very good.

Belle

I always go for the flourless chocolate cake ($3.50 a piece) and the red velvet cupcakes . This place is found at the lower level of Grand Central station. Try to drop by while waiting for your MetroNo

Signature banana pudding has changed the concept of pudding for me, soooo good. The pecan cheesecake was also delicious but I'd prefer the pudding .

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

Allison Esposito

Get the Grand Central Cupcake ... then go upstairs, look at the ceiling, and see where their inspiration for the topping comes from :)

ArtofLongNicks

This worths for many! Skip the whole thing and go for banana pudding and red velvet .. If you're waiting for a long line make sure they still have the pudding in there!

Nazli Oguz

incredible banana pudding !But overall anything you can get is super tasty, caramel pecan cheesecake is my second favorite!

Adva Ebru Tınaz

Red velvet cheesecake is ok. I left my comment for the pudding several years ago. And the rudeness also didnt change. Go girls!

Karen

Delicious goods. Staff is too slow for my liking. Efficiency is definitely an issue here. They also messed up my cake order. I was VERY dissatisfied with that.

funky flavor

Historical and sex in the city trendy , come by for an airy like dough cupcake . Red velvet is to die for.

Nahid

Lots of flavors, great presentation. Price starts at $3 and up. They even had peanut butter and chocolate flavored cake .

The Corcoran Group

On the lower level at Grand Central Station, go here instead and skip the lines at the famous West Village location. Watch as the expert bakers ice the many flavors of cupcakes right before your eyes.

Jason Brew

Everyone comes for the cupcakes and they are good, but the real star is the banana pudding

Michaela Hanakova

Place you must stop by when you are at the grand central station. Good stuff. Ridiculously awesome cupcakes and Banana pudding .

Cupcakes Take The Cake

Try the only at Grand Central marble cupcake , with a beautiful edible chocolate disc on top and marble cake on the bottom. A very classy cupcake .

Alyssa B.

Stick to the banana pudding . Altho disappointing how it’s sometimes served not as cold as you’d expect. Skip the cake - esp the red velvet , Sprinkles is waaay better. Even the choc is underwhelming

Chris Thurber

Deliciously rich treats from this awesome bakery under Grand Central. Always worth a visit.

Bravo

Can anyone say Red Velvet cupcakes ???? Oh My God.... (Christopher loves them) When Al and I are in the city it's a definite stop. -Caroline Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ

Vitamin Yi

Banana pudding is a legit institution. Cupcakes are great as well

Bloomingdale's

The bakery that began the cupcake craze is still the best. We suspect it’s the lick-your-fingers-to-get-the-last-bit-of-butter-cream frostings and fillings. They do a mean banana pudding too.

Jole P

Banana pudding is all you need. And a few friends to help you finish it.

Josue Evilla

Banana Pudding , obviously. The cake (chocolate !!!!!) slices are also great!

Melda Suzer

Delicious cakes , cupcakes and famous banana puding !

Flor Ludueña

Maybe I came here with too much expectation. I ordered the iconic red velvet cake , and was absolutely without flavor. The espresso was bad.There are better places in ny. I'm definitely not coming back

Carol Clark

Their red velvet cupcakes are delicious, but I am in love with their cheesecakes even more! (And I used to work there, I should know!)

Lucas Cabral Maciel

Zarkana Cupcake is surprisingly good. The Red Velvet is not that great (Crumbs and Bake My Cake do it better), but still a really good variety

Alice Nam

Magnolia's banana pudding is the only banana flavored thing I eat. Try them!

Jacques Chirac

The banana pudding has a very Americanish taste. More educated palates will find it just acceptable.

Nuno Pereira

Cool cupcakes and trendy location

Sarah Brink

You're told to get the banana pudding , so get the banana pudding . Yum!

Sharlene Carrera

Red velvet cupcakes are everything! Try the vanilla bean cheesecake !

Nicole DuBose

The Red Velvet Whoopie cake is the truth!!!!

Charles Guerrero

I find the cupcakes to be the least exciting thing here. Try the icebox cakes .

Pelin

November Saturday favorite pumpkin cupcakes are a must-try! Yumm :)

S.M.

Red velvet cupcakes !! Try them !

Valerie Seckler

Vanilla cake iced with chocolate buttercream departs from the usual. It's a treat.

Omer Zach

Banana bread pudding was delicious. But don't get coffee here.

Onur Avcı

Their red velvet cupcakes are delicious and banana puding .

Tom Burns

I have fallen in love with the carrot cake

Paul Singer

Banana cream pudding I'd incredible. Get it over the cupcakes !

Lauren Hansen

I hate that I like this place after all the hype from SATC. The cupcakes are good, although not the most creative around.

Ivan Zimnukhov

7(seven!) associates behind the counter take 10(ten) minutes to serve 2(two) customers, just coffee and pastry each. When I open my bag on the train , it's not what I ordered. Ughhhh.

Jastine Kho

Come here for the banana pudding- the best ever!

Emily Ha

Their banana pudding is to die for! My mom doesn't really like sweets but she LOVES their banana pudding .

Madeleine Baldwin

Their red velvet cupcakes are to die for (as is just about everything else there) but be prepared to wait in line for a while.

Compass

Visit the legendary downtown cupcake haunt at its Midtown location.

Jenny L

Best banana pudding ! I get it before I hop on the Metro North! mm :)
