I always get banana pudding or a cupcake but the raspberry cheesecake my bf got for me was so rich in flavor and not super sweet! I think I'm going to get the cheesecake from now on

The meringue . The MERINGUE! Skip the red velvet cupcake . Look away from the double chocolate cupcake . Get the little pillow of heaven filled with chocolate shavings . #yourewelcome

This one hits the spot. Super sweet tho so be prepared for that. The vanilla and chocolate ones are my fav

Markus Alvermann

Awesome bakery . Everything we tried looked absolutley stunning and was delicious. Friendly staff . Very crowded but worth the wait. Try the velvet cupcake or one of the cheesecakes . No places to sit.

Yasaman Mahdian

Caramel cheesecake was heavenly tasty. Banana pudding was like you are tasting your childhood memories all over again! I will miss it!

It's not a trip to NYC if it doesn't include a stop at Magnolia Bakery. Back side of Bloomingdale's, on 3rd and 60th, kitty corner to Dylan's Candy Bar . Best cupcakes anywhere. Frosting is divine!

Sara Ahmed

Though I am a person who don't like to eat bananas .. I admit that their banana pudding changed what I think about the fruit ????????..i highly recommend it..????????

A must place for cupcake lovers. Cupcakes are fresh, with a moist cake base and a creamy/fluffy/butter-y, lighter-than-the-air frosting . Red Velvet is ALWAYS my choice. Small. Cozy . Simple.

Daniele Banci

Magnolia Bakery makes the best cheesecakes in NYC. If you go there, make sure to go with an appetite because they have so many tasty baked goods that will blow your mind! And your sugar levels! :)

Deb

I love their cupcakes !

Hellmann's Mayonnaise

Our friends baked us some delicious cupcakes for our #Hellmanns100 Birthday! We wanna share them w/ YOU at our party on Sept. 24th at Pier 84. The first 500 guests get lunch (and a cupcake ) on us!

Gizem Gül

Whoa! Tasty cookies , lively place , cozy atmosphere , cupcake heaven... Everything is the best here. Try peanut butter cupcake and banana pudding , you'll be addicted!

Shaghayegh

It’s a tough decision when everything looks and smells this good in this place! The banana pudding is phenomenal! There’s always some waiting in line , but definitely worth it!

Alexandra Tritz

I took a slice of the pistachio cake it's awesome ! The cake is not too sweet and still moist, the buttercream is fragrant and airy, not too sweet and not compact. For the price you have a huge slice

Liva

My all-time favorite is the devil's food cake . Then the lemon cake , the chocolate cake , the vanilla cake (VERY sweet that one). Can't go wrong if you're ready for your sweet shot.

Zdenek Farana

Still great in 2022. Red Velvet cheesecake is delicious, not too sweet with some nice savory notes ????????

Josh Hinen

Surely not the first to say it, but their banana pudding is worth the trip if you're in New York. Even if you don't like banana pudding .

Steve LeVine

Frustrating only because it's not a big place and it gets busy in there, especially with tourist . Squeeze on one line to order and get items and then move over to the pay line . It moves pretty quick.

Kyknos

Everything is just absolute heaven!there is always queue for this little establishment but luckily the BANANA PUDDING has always been available!prepare to be spoilt for choice????

Social News Network

Satisfy your sweet tooth with any other their cupcakes , pies and cookies . Pair a red velvet cupcake or a lemon bar with any of their specialty coffee drinks and you'll be in sweet, sweet heaven.

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

Maureen O'Connell Scholastic

One of the best places for dessert in NYC. Their speciality - cupcakes , especially the Devil's Food (mocha ) cupcake . So full of amazing flavors.

D Greene

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!

Kathleen McFarlane

The Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Blueberries is to die for!!! So fluffy and the base has just the perfect amount of crunch. Perfection! ????????

Linds

Each of the different treat types (pudding , cupcakes , coffee , etc.) has their own line . So if you want pudding make sure not to get stuck in the tourist-filled wait for cupcakes .

Gansevoort Hotel Group

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

Stina P.

i know everyone comes for the cupcakes (which are amazing) but the ice box cake is unreal. a giant layered oreo cookie non ice cream cake

Staci Stevens

The line and organization is a little stir crazy but the team here is so nice that it's hard to get annoyed. Banana bread pudding and hummingbird cupcake are my favs.

Felype

Everything is delicious totally worth it but too little and too crowded , the lines are very confusing cuz sometimes people just stands there looking at the cup cakes trying to choose what to buy.

Douglas Souza

If you can't stand with the crowds, this branch at Grand Central Station is the best way of trying the cupcakes but don't forget to take a banana pudding !!!

Nazli Oguz

Don't mind the queue t doesn't take long. Banana pudding is the classic but their cupcakes and cheesecakes are also amazing don't miss out!

Halstead Property

Celebrating 85 years of the Radio City Christmas Music Spectacular, the confectionery wonderland has a Rockette Red Velvet cupcake topped w/ a printed chocolate of the 12 days of Christmas costume .

Randa

Honestly not the best red velvet cupcake that i've ever had! Most certainly there are quite lots of places better! Try the blueberry crumb the name of it made me excited to order it.

Oyoo Owoo

The banana pudding is to die for. I decided to try something new. A slice of pistachio cake but the service and place looks amazing

Laura

Line moves fast! Order first, then get in line to pay. Or if u have 2 people, one should get in line to pay and the other orders, just get back in line before it's your turn to pay!

P

The lime cheesecake was very refreshing and tasty - biscuit crust was a bit too hard but the rest was great!

Nicole Angeles

My favorite red velvet cheesecake in the world. It's the creamiest! So good! And their banana pudding it's the best I've ever had so far!

Saleh Nasser

I have tried 3 different cupcakes . They are not bad but not so special. The carrots cupcakes with cream cheese frosting was the best of all.

Aly Orady

A medium sized banana bread pudding is perfect for one person :).. Even if you think you don't like banana . The cookies and magic bar are worth skipping.

Ceres AnaSéline C.

I cannot believe I have lived in New York City my entire life and just tried Magnolia in 2011. Shame on me! Red Velvet Cupcakes are some of the best I've had. Such a delight.

Amanda Rella

Banana pudding is the best. Had a cupcake from here on Valentine's and they were incredible.

Angela Lee

I had the BEST tasting cup of coffee ...I'm not even kidding. Starbucks and Dunkin have their flaws...one sip from Magnolia's and I'm sold. Oh, yea, their red velvet cupcake was divine. :)

Mohammad Al-absai

I have never EVER tasted banana pudding better than Magnolia's. Try the one with the peanut butter . It's delicious ????

Natalie V

Lines can be crazy since it's in a touristy area but the desserts are excellent. Personally, I like the pies better than the cupcakes .

Ashley Howe

I had the lemon cupcake . Seemed a little disorganized in the shop, but service was quick. Cupcakes cost 3.50 each and you can get them in a cute box

Giovani Ulisses

Key lime cheesecake it's AWESOME!!!!!!! it will ruin every other cheesecake you'll have in your life.

New York Habitat

Another Magnolia, this time serving up delicious treats in Midtown. Everyone knows about the great cupcakes but if you haven't had it yet, try the banana pudding . Fantastic.

Nelly Tejeda

I dont know of every Magnolia are like these first time to try it in New York, shop several items and they were so horrifying!!!!

Vanessa Borges

The Red Velvet is the most famous, but the one I really liked was the Chocolate . ????????
