"The story of the world’s most famous bakery begins in 1996 on a quaint, cobblestone corner in the West Village where Magnolia Bakery opened its doors for the first time. The sweet smell of cakes and cookies and pies and pudding tumbled out, wafting down the streets, beckoning all in.

Our red velvet cupcakes became iconic and people lined up around the block for our banana pudding. There was even talk of New York pretzel guys becoming cupcake guys. Magnolia Bakery was a destination for locals and tourists alike."



For more than 25 years, Magnolia Bakery has been making baked goods from scratch, in small batches, and using the finest ingredients. Their assortment includes cakes and cupcakes, the world-famous banana pudding, and a host of other classic baked goods, seasonal treats, and more.

I had to try the famous banana pudding, which was fantastic. It includes creamy vanilla pudding with vanilla wafers and fresh bananas. It's light sweet but so satisfyingly smooth. They have other flavors, like Red Velvet Banana Pudding and Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Pudding that I will have to try next time.
