Best Cupcake, Cupcake!!! – Wow! When you hold your first Magnolia Cupcake your mouth begins to water. We have now ordered over 200 cupcakes for parties and have never been disappointed. This is the best bakery in town. I owned a bakery in the south and have not tasted anything since, that came close to our recipes. If you are uptown, downtown, across town, around town and are in the mood for a little dessert I would "run" to Magnolia. Even the video Chronicles of Narnia that was featured on SNL did not do it justice. You mus... read more

Okay Cupcakes, the best carrot cake ever! – After hearing so much about the cupcakes, when finally tried them, I was a little disappointed. You can buy the Magnolia cookbook and they taste the same (or even a little better) than the expensive ones from the bakery. However, I also tried the carrot cake, and it was the greatest carrot cake I have ever eaten in my life. It was a little expensive, but it was a very generous slice. And it was delicious. The people that work there were very friendly and amusing, and there was no w... read more

Cupcakes not so much...but Banana Pudding! wow – I was pretty disappointed by the cupcakes. They're ok, but I've had better by the Cheesecake factory or the boxed kind my friend makes. However, their banana pudding was sooooo scrumptious. It's a cute little dive that is a cool experience. Go and sit at the nearby square and just chomp away. But seriously, the cupcakes are just ok and i'm a sweets addict.

A true NY experience – Yes, there is a long long line on the weekends, but go midweek and definitely try the coconut cake. They give you very generous slices. Cupcakes are always fresh so eat them at the park nearby. First time they were too sweet, but after a while you get addicted to them and it is always a true bakery experience to go their and grab a box.

give it a second chance – In NYC, waiting an estimated 20 minutes standing outside only to purchase an overcharged, overly sweet cupcake is insanely ridiculous. Thinking in the back of our heads, the Sex and the City stars relished in the orgasmic flavor so it must be good, right? Not necessary.. HERE's the 411..the first time I had a cupcake from Magnolia, i was disappointed, the frosting was overly sweet and yes, absolutely disguisting, not worth 10 cents, let alone $1.75, however,i gave it a second chance, and they must h... read more

Great cupcakes - great service!! – Waited in line for 20-30 minutes and was granted access by a very amusing, friendly 'bakery bouncer.' He lets approx. 6-8 people in at a time for the initial scramble for access to the cupcakes but everyone settled in and got what they wanted. Selection is constantly rotating, but when we got there all varieties were plentiful. Maximum is a dozen cupcakes per person and theyre AMAZING! For me, the icing is what makes them. Sure its sugary and sweet, but were not exactly talking about a hot ... read more

delicious! – i tried magnolia for my first time last week, and i bought another batch today. the frosting is thick and sweet. i love magnolia, but STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING PASTEL. the pastel icings are nasty. the cupcakes are a little bit too highly priced at $1.75 each. THE COOKIES ARE DIVINE.

Sugary sweet goodness. – I suffer from a terrible sweet tooth so when I visited New York my friends took me here, knowing full well I would love the place. The famed cupcakes are delicious -- personally, I like the cavity-inducing sugary sweetness of the icing -- not to mention pretty; they were almost too good looking to eat! The cupcakes go great with a cold glass of milk, you can order it skim or whole. The staff are incredibly friendly & amiable. The bakery itself is actually quite tiny & fills up pretty easily. So grab ... read more

What's with cupcakes? – Really, what's the deal with cupcakes? They really aren't that good and after reading so much about this place, I thought I would give it a try and see if it would convert me into a cupcake lover. In the end, it only affirmed my dislike for them (this, coming from a dessert lover who will almost eat anything sweet). They are merely spongelike cakes in a "cute" cup with overly sweet icing on them. So what if they are pink? After saying that, I would, however, recommend the cheesecake here. It is maybe ... read more
