I like the old school bakery look and style of Magnolia and I won't turn down one of their cupcakes but I would pass this place up for Sprinkles any day of the week.

The ultra-creamy texture of the banana pudding is interrupted with small chunks of banana and, best of all, Nilla Wafers that turn to tender cake after bathing in the pudding for a day or two.

This place is da bomb!! Honestly , their iced caramel coffee , cheesecake and Chicago cupcake it amazing!! A bit too sweet for me, but anyways one of fav places! Service is nice. Vibe adorable ????

CAROLANN RIDDLE

The cheesecake was the best that I have ever had. The texture was perfect. The perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. Vanilla bean , keylime and caramel pecan---delicious cheesecake ...sooo good!

Tamika Riles

All sweets are delicious. Ask about prices before you start to picking too much deliciousness!!!

Chris Williams

I love the friendly atmosphere of the place but as a baker and pastry chef myself I prefer my own goodies

Anamaria Hernandez

Wait for the girl to put out samples. Then order a cupcake . The lemon one has a whipped frosting and has a bit of lemon custard stuffed inside it. Highly recommend!

Alison

The pudding possessed my mind, body, and soul; quickly transporting me to a blissful state of tranquility and awe. Was I in heaven? No, I was on State street - But it was life changing nonetheless.

Alexandros Plexidas

We tried the vanilla bean and the caramel pecan cupcakes . Both of them were delicious but not so different one from another, except for the topping. But anyway totally worth trying them!

Samar Hamdan

Amazing bakery . Well Known for banana pudding ( with d8fferent flavors ) but I love the cheesecake !

Nely Reyes

Like and oldie and classic bakery , everything looked delicious and also the coffee is great! :D

Cassie Stutz

Coffee was out of this world! Decor is adorable, staff is super friendly and the food is to die for.

Kate G

Amazing.... Banana pudding to die for! Use to look forward to magnolias whenever I was in NYC but now it's in chi!!!! Yayyy!!!

Gnr

No need to exaggerate the banana pudding ..too much butter and cream in it..tastes good but it's heavy..meşhur olduğu için banana puding denenebilir ama çok yağlı ve ağır bir puding.tadı fena değil..

laura honeycutt

Reject everything you’ve ever known about banana pudding . And trust me, the small is plenty for one because it is seriously rich!

Chicago Tribune

The red velvet with vanilla buttercream is the best of the bunch: richer than plain vanilla , more complex than chocolate , luscious and buttery but not overly sweet. Read more

Sharif Nassr

The banana pudding and peanut-butter & jelly cupcakes are to die for. Love the NYC, London, & Dubai locations also!

Yana

Love this place. My favorites are cheesecakes and banana-chocolate pudding ????

My Nguyen

Had the blueberry cheesecake and the chocolate banana pudding . Cute bakery and cute desserts too! Fluffy and not too sweet :)

Time Out Chicago

It's easy to see how the sweets here became a New York—and now international—addiction: It'd be healthier to mainline sugar than to eat one of these cupcakes . Read more

Joely Lara

The Red Velvet CheeseCake was soooo good! , and you could have that with their fresh water which is complimentary !

Leticia Silva

I tried the banana pudding and it was the extremely good! The staff is super nice, I really like this little bakery

Gamze Yavuz Gürkan

The Red Velvet Cheesecake is awesome ????,but banana pudding is too much sweet

Matt Dicker

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the chocolate cake is the star of the menu.

Rowena R.

Get the banana bread pudding ! But if they're out, get a cheesecake ! Best cheesecake I've ever had. The white chocolate and macadamia nut cheesecake is fab!

Rohit Sane

Lot of people love the Banana pudding here, but I am in love with their Red Velvet cupcake and the German cake

Sarah D

The lemon and key lime squares are great. I expected a better selection of cupcakes though. 10 minutes after opening and only 3 varieties of cupcakes ? Go to Mollys

Kyle Ottenhoff

It's good. It's a little bit over priced and you think you're getting a huge cupcake for what you pay but you're getting only a regular size cupcake if not a little bit smaller.

Brock Gregory

I can pass on the cupcakes but banana pudding is AWESOME!!!! I always make a stop when I'm visiting Chicago or NYC.

Jake Smith

I recommend the S'mores cupcake ; the frosting is made from roasted marshmallows , and there is a surprise chocolate center.

Julie Therese

The red velvet is amazing! You gotta get it with the cream cheese frosting ! Ask them if they can frost one for you fresh...sometimes the frosting can get "crusty".

Dalia Zaghaba

Best Banana Pudding ????????

Taylor S

Best banana pudding ever!! Made with real, whole bananas . None of that premade, instant pudding stuff! Must try!

Eddy Gonzalez

The banana budding is amazing, the cakes are small but can feed two. Cute date spot .

Brandon Sullivan

This place is kitschy and charming. Known for their banana pudding , and for good reason: it's delicious.

Paul Rogers

Outstanding cakes , cupcakes , cheesecakes but one negative, for the price I don’t expect to eat on a paper plate or plastic forks. Think of the environment

Pauline Remy

My cupcake was really good! (Caramel ) and the friend i was with told me he preferred his to the one he took at Molly's cupcakes !

Dan Craig

Eat those cupcakes . Eat all the cupcakes . They also have a little gluten-free cakey thing.

Gabs Espino

So delicious!! Caramel cupcake is the best!

Yagmur K

The red velvet was the most driest dessert that I had, I didn't want to finish the mini one. Banana pudding may be good but the red velvet is so overrated

Diana Chen

The icebox cake is delicious! And red velvet cupcake . Idk how they make their frosting but it is so light and tastes different from regular frosting .

Reuoof ????

Their banana pudding is heavenly, both regular and chocolate hazelnut

Peyton Keller

The chocolate cheesecake is amazing!!! ???? ???????? ????

Emilio C

The banana pudding is amazing.

Time Out Chicago

The dense cake and achingly sweet frosting evoke nostalgia for kiddie birthday parties, but the cutesy lace curtains and not-too-sweet icebox cake are timeless. Read more

Shahad

German chocolate cupcake ,, amazing. Topped with coconuts ????

Ghala Alrumaihi

Best coffee and banana pudding ever

Chris Spillman

The Apple muffin is unbelievable. Whoever thought huge huge chunks equalled deliciousity was absolutely brilliant.

???? Pink Bee

Banana pudding is a must. I can't pass this place without getting the urge.

Jamie Olds

Banana pudding , red velvet cake , and the cheesecakes are my favorite
