I too fell for the hype. Red velvet cake that didn't have cream cheese frosting-come on, that's the whole point of getting red velvet. It was also dry. Vanilla cake with sugar frosting-dry. Turned it over and the layer was a dark brown, clearly left in the oven too long. I guess they don't want to waste anything when they can sell it to a tourist who will never be back anyway. Edible, but not good. Very disappointed.

I had a great experience in here last weekend. Since I was just looking for any random bread to get, they offered some help and told me the things that I may want from their selection, helpful bunch of folks.

This place is just amazing because the crew that work here are such good people. They are very professional and polite. The bread is not that bad too.

I love Magnolia Bakery!! They make the best red velvet cakes here. Their cupcakes are also very delicious! Highly recommend everyone try it out.

I have been to Magnolia Bakery at Bloomingdales twice now. I can honsetly say I will never go back. The first time I was picking up cupcakes from a "fancy NYC bakery" to bring to my girlfriends 3 children. First they didnt even have half of the listed flavors, then no fancy tin to carry them in. I was given my cupcakes in a box and literally asked if I wanted a bag? How do they expect me to carry half a dozen cupcakes? When the kids had then them that evening, I was actually embarressed that they were so dry and basically ha... read more

I recently visited Magnolia's on Bleecker street and again was very disappointed with the service. I say again because this is the third time I have had the same experience. The people behind the counter are disengaged and rude! You literally can stand in their presence while they engage in personal conversation and ignore the customers. When I asked for a box for the cupcakes the attendant looked annoyed that I interrupted her conversation and the young man behind the register, with long unkept hair and pants falling off hi... read more

WAYYYY over rated, cup cakes. Yesterday I stop by Magnolia at Bloomgindales, to get Banana Pudding. 8 people behind the counter and no one could aske me or the other person next to me if we need help. They just talk aamong their self and makes us wait. I left, of course. If they don't want my business I certainty don't want theirs.Went to Payard and have a great french Macarroon instead! :-)
