cupcake nazis – I have to agree with New Yorker and a couple other posts-- I have been a die-hard patron of this place for many years and willingly have walked many miles for their cupcakes (which are still the best in the city). But last night I visited Magnolia and found a line around the corner and down the street. I didn't mind the wait, but once at the door- a man who i will refer to as "the cupcake nazi"- rudely ordered people in, four at a time (which explains the line) and yelled: NO FINGER LICKING! when people in li... read more

The best cupcakes...ever – This tiny bakery serves delicious cupcakes from self-service trays. A sign limits your purchase to a dozen per customer because of the demand (and rumors of long lines which we never saw). The four varieties include combinations of chocolate and yellow cake, and chocolate and vanilla icing. The yellow cake, vanilla iced ones are the best of the lot, very moist but a little crumbly, and have thick pastel colored icing slathered on top. There is no place to have your cake and eat it too, so head to t... read more

Heavenly Cupcakes – The hype surrounding Magnolia is definitely warranted. The frosting is smooth and creamy and the cakes are perfectly fluffy and delicious. The shop is cute, and even though there is no seating, you can go across the street to the park and eat your delectable, or walk around the shops. This place is a gem and I will always go back when I visit the city.

Gone – One of the things I loved about new york city was Magnolia bakery. New Yorkers outside the bakery with big laughs and bigger smiles eating delicious cupcakes was a truly unique New York city experience that reflected the true spirit of our wonderful city. That Magnolia is gone replaced by one that is extremely rude, obnoxious, and abrasive. Unfortunately Magnolia has gotten too big for its britches and is now a turnoff to native New Yorkers.

AWESOME! – I love this bakery. The ice box cake reminds me of the ones my grandmother use to make. My tip is to bypass the cupcakes and go straight for the desserts in the refrigerated cases. I noticed that a lot of people complain about the staff, but being a regular, I kind of understand why they're like that. I've seen some damn annoying customers. If you come by at night, you'll see plenty of bridge and tunnel trash acting like they own the place. I actually saw a guy harrass a poor cashier girl 'cause she wouldn't put b... read more

RUDE!!!!!!! – Can't believe the nerve of the staff. Downright rude. And their cupcakes SUCK. Way too sugary and plastic tasting. Stay away...you have been warned.

O V E R R A T E D ! ! ! ! – What is the big deal? The cupcakes are good, but great? No. The cake is a little too dry, the icing is too sweet, and the chocolate cupcakes don't taste like chocolate at all. The snotty service doesn't help either. You work in a bakery, man. Easy on the attitude.

WORTH THE WAIT!!! – I visited this quaint little bakery around New Years...yes, the lines tend to be long but when I had that cupcake in my hand and tasted for myself what the "brag" was about, I was glad that I was patient! I have never had such a delicious cupcake in all my life!!! It was so rich that I could only eat half but was glad that I bought a box of 4 to have in my hotel room for a later endulgement! There's park-like benches across the street, with few park-like, wooden tables. A nice spot to enjoy every last bit... read more
