Great Cupcakes – This is a must if you're in the West Village area. Located on the very quaint yet trendy Bleecker Street, grabbing a dessert from Magnolia and chomping it down as you stroll around the area is one of my favorite things to do on days with beautiful weather. The cupcakes are yummy indeed but on the sweet side so just one is quite enough. Both the chocolate and the vanilla cakes are moist and tasty. They're great with ice cold milk too. Many people rave about the banana pudding. There is a table an a couple of ... read more
The dentist will be happy you went here – These were the sweetest, most overrated cupcakes I have ever tasted. If you want to get the experience of these cupcakes without waiting on the line, do yourself a favor...buy a box of domino confectionary sugar and dip your tongue in for about 3 minutes and swallow as much sugar as you can. Who knows what the flavor of the cupcakes are, you never get the flavor because each bite is overwhelmed with this terrible overly sugary icing. When I removed the icing to taste the cupcake I re... read more
One of the best places in NYC – Often duplicated, never accomplished. Magnolia is the best bakery in the US. The cup cakes are outstanding and are one of a kind. Grab a box and eat across the street in Bleecker Park. You cant go wrong with this place! I love Magnolia, wish there was one on the west coast! I have been to Magnolia dozens of times, and have never walked away disappointed!
Get a slice of cake, instead – Magnolia Bakery cupcakes are not as good as they were when it was a neighborhood establishment and the "cupcake craze" was new. The frosting is overly sweet, and the cake can be dry. However, I disagree with those who exaggeratedly call them "disgusting," and would like to point out that cake made with fresh ingredients cannot be as "soft" as that made with oils and preserved fat solids, like one from a box. If you go to Magnolia (which I did often, in the '90s), I recommend you get a slice of ... read more
Very Very Disappointing!!! – This was my first trip to NYC and I really wanted to to the Magnolia Bakery because of all the SATC hype etc. That said, I loved the old fashioned mint green and shabby chic kinda decorating. The cupcakes however were horrible. Perhaps, a couple of years ago, before they became so popular, the food was actually much better. I cannot swear to that though because I don't know. The supermarket actually makes better cupcakes than this. I can't even really describe the taste. The chocolate cupcake tas... read more
about the cupcakes.... – cupcakes were a big craze in baking the past few years, cropping up everywhere and replacing traditional cakes at weddings. i wasn't too interested when i followed a friend in to Magnolia but after experiencing their signature dessert i was struck.....by how UNIMPRESSIVE it was. i'm a baker/cake designer (self-taught). i love homestyle desserts as long as they taste great and are halfway presentable, but these cupcakes are cute at best and fall flat in the taste department too. like many others, i fe... read more
I am addicted – These are the best cupcakes I have ever tasted in my life. My daughter and I talk about them all the time. You pick a box up. Fight the other people in the bakery. Race to the window and get as many as you can. By the time you get home they are smashed together. Nobody cares because they are sooooo good. If I could have them mailed to my house in Florida. I would have a weekly delivery. We spend a month in New York every year. We cannot wait to go to Magnolias.
what what what what??? – If you are one of those people who scoops the icing off the cake and tucks it safely on the side of the cake so you can enjoy the cake alone, this place is not for you. There is no hype at all with the cupcakes. They are sickeningly sweet which is what makes them pure heaven for sugar worshippers. Yeah, the cake could probably be a little bit more moist, but I'd like to see anyone on this website reproduce the texture and taste of that icing. It's divine. To appreciate the value of the cupcakes you h... read more
It's the experienc – As with everything else in New York, you're paying for the experience. These cupcakes are no better than what you make in your own kitchen. In fact yours may be better. It's all hype. But the village is fun and if you get the chance, check it out. Any cupcake is better than no cupcake.
