Okay. You wanna know how heaven tastes like? Then try their red velvet cheesecake . Out of this world! The key lime cheesecake (pictured) was delicious too! Would go back, preferably every day.

The overly-sweet buttercream literally makes my teeth ache... but the banana pudding lives up to the hype: creamy w an almost whipped texture. Get a large--you'll be happy you have some to take home!

G Daniell

Banana pudding is a MUST try here,at least sample it,when it comes to cakes/cupcakes their icing is tasty but wouldn't say the same about the loaf they bake it with,brownies ,bars , and cookies are good

Magnolia is my favorite bakery and this is my favorite magnolia. Banana pudding is the ultimate dessert . The buttercream frosting on the cupcakes is perfect. AND the people who work here are so sweet.

Edu Godinho

One of The most traditional bakeries in NY, go to try at least something.... Can be the famous cupcakes , but all cakes are great as well

Kat

I consider this home. The UWS store staff is super friendly , patient and helpful. Try an assortment of flavors. My personal faves: chocolate-chocolate cupcake and full chocolate (big piece of) cake

Nicole

Friendly staff , if they can see you behind the tall displays. Take a mini cheesecake , fruit crisp, or cupcake in a box to sneak into a movie . Open late , and they don't run out of a lot by closing.

Fabricio Vieira

The cupcakes are amazing but the service in the Upper West store is just terrible!! Run away from here! Try the store in West Village instead - same delicious food and a friendly staff .

Anna M

Awesome vanilla and chocolate cheesecakes ! Really cute Bakery and friendly staff . Wish I could go back everyday!

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

p k

Awesome place for coffee and sweets. The cheesecakes are delicious and banana pudding is the best!! Noone should miss it! Loved it

Summer

caramel pecan cheesecake was everything. i also got the brownie , which was also satisfying. overall, all my choices were perfect. try the banana pudding .

Guha Arunkumar

Blueberry cheesecake and Banana pudding (classic) is the way to go.

Aran

Cinnamon sugar muffins are to die for (sometimes after 5pm they give them away for free!!) and the vanilla bean cheesecake is so rich and creamy - hands down the best bakery in NYC!!!

Matthew Spector

One of the stronger outposts of the bakery chainlet. Beyond the cupcakes , do not miss the icebox cake and the banana bread pudding .

Susie Mo

Forget red velvet or chocolate ..Marble cupcakes it's a must ... I usually don't eat the frosting but when I go here I have to stop myself from licking the paper

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

Danielle Nicole

Don't skip anything, get everything. Especially the banana pudding , cakes , cupcakes , pie , and hot chocolate . Oh and don't forget the cookies and dessert bars .

Compass

Sex and the City made Magnolia Cupcakes famous in the West Village , but loyal shoppers stop by the confectionary for a decadent treat at the uptown outpost.

dawn.in.newyork

This location has plenty of seats while other magnolias are more like to-go only shops.

Jazzie Chanel

Line moves quick. Had a caramel chocolate cupcakes , delicious. The chocolate banana pudding is too sweet.

Katherine

Hummingbird cake as in pineapple , banana with pecan and cream cheese icing cake .

Gabriela Grossmann

We tried magnolia's ice cream sandwich for the first time and they were ok. Would choose anything else next time.

Ann R.

Some of the best, cheapest coffee an iced coffee on the UWS. And the muffins trump the cupcakes , hands down.

Devyn Mills

Most tourists go for the cupcakes here but any true New Yorker goes directly for the banana pudding - you won't be sorry!

Hefe Hofo

Cupcakes are ***extremely*** sweat. But the Cheesecakes are perfect. Especially loved the red velvet one.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Great cakes and muffins , incredible variety. Banana pudding still rocks

Amy Huska

Favorite bakery in NYC. Amazing baked goods , banana pudding . And coffees

Mandy Kearns

I love Magnolia Bakery! It's one of my favorite places in NYC. Yum.

Eric Pagan

The sugar cookies are to die for. The cheese cake is awesome. Don't just get cupcakes . Try something new. Because almost everything there is the best!

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.

Taty Sena

Banana pudding makes coming here worth it. Nice cupcakes as well .

Christoph

Fantastic cupcakes ! But the winner is: banana pudding !

Sasha Baston

Still the best cupcakes in the city ! Most low key relaxing location and smells like heaven!

Sameepa Shetty

Carrot cake is the must have. German chocolate cake and the cake with coconut frosting are good buys

Harrison Vuong

Get the banana pudding

Mëlänï

The cupcakes are delicious and beautiful.

Alberto Simon

Oh my the cake !!! ????????

Their cupcakes are to die for!

Pao!!!

Red Velvet Cheesecake ! Wonderful and amazing!

Rent the Runway

This is the little bakery that started it all. Magnolia secret: their banana pudding can start another trend. It's too good to not try!

Ingeborg Baardman

Flourless chocolate cake is available, the frosting was to sugary For me but the cake itself is good!

Tiffany Langston

The cupcakes can be on the dry side if you don't get them super fresh. Go for the banana pudding instead

Sofia Uz

Tiny and cute , everything is good! Try vanilla cheesecake

Mark Servidio

Banana pudding is awesome. As for service, the cashiers are very slow, and for some reason they allow customers to order items at the register which slows down the line .

Stacy Bo Bacy

My favorite cupcakes in the world!

Allie Carieri

Banana pudding is the best thing here/ever. Cake slices are better than the cupcakes

Paige C

Banana pudding . That's all you need.

Andreas Kanakis

Always good. I prefer the little cheesecakes than the cupcakes .
