Great cupcakes! – I recently visited my daughter in NYC and developed a taste for Magnolia Bakery hummingbird cupcakes! I was not enamored with the Bleecker Street location. I found the staff at this location to be absolutely rude. The young man at the register didn't speak to me at all. In fact, he ignored me. He was busy talking to another employee about the number of tourists who come to this location. "Don't they know the shows over! And it doesn't help that the Friends apartment is just over there!!" Silly me....I suppo... read more

best cupcakes ever! – The cupcakes in Magnolia have just the right amount of frosting and it's never too sweet unlike some other dessert joints in nyc. I like to stop by after work and get a box of cupcakes once in a while to share with my neighbors.

WTF? – WTF happened to this place. Granted I was unimpressed the first time I visited Magnolia, but something has definitely happened to the quality of what they define as "cupcakes" at this place. My friend brought me some red velvet cupcakes and I am convinced that they were no more than some basic cake batter mix with food coloring and butter cream frosting. "Butter Cream!!!" Someone please send them a recipe, or for you folks at the bakery, if you run out of true ingredients, don't try to pass them of as red velvet. Thos... read more

SOOOOO over-rated! – DRY cupcakes and sickeningly sweet frosting. Try Alice's, Billy's or a piece of cardboard. All are better than these overrated cupcakes. And staff has a little attitude problem to boot. No thanks!

Magnolia Bakery - mmm good – The perpetually long lines might be due to the bakery's "Sex and the City" fame, but don't understimate These desserts have a cultish following, and it's easy to understand why--nothing on the menu administers anything less than a spectacular dose of sugar. Addictive red velvet cupcakes come slathered in an icing that's as pure an expression of sugar, vanilla and butter as you're going to find. Or try a slice of the decadent "cherries jubilee," a moist mini cheesecake or the legendary banana pudd... read more

Frosting Too Sweet, Dry Cake – The frosting is so sweet, I scraped mine off my cupcake. Cake itself was pretty dry. Not impressed even a little bit!

Completely Overrated! – This was a total disappointment! My friends and I were in the West Village and decided to stop by and try the famous cupcakes. So glad we didn't make a special trip out here. There was very little selection (only 3 or 4 different types when I was there) and although they weren't horrible, there was absolutely nothing special about Magnolia Cupcakes. Definitely not worth the trip or the $2.75 per cupcake.

HORRIBLE CUPCAKES – WORST CUPCAKES I'VE EVER HAD!!! I was visiting NYC and so excited to try the cupcakes at Magnolia. Bought 3 dozen to take home with me to share with friends and family. Got in the taxi, opened box, tasted one and almost spit it out. DRY, DRY, DRY and tasteless. Also, staff was rude and snooty. Such a disappointment.
