Magnolia Bakery

Magnolia Bakery is so much more than just a cupcake shop from “Sex and the City.” Yes, their cupcakes are light and fluffy and topped with rich and creamy buttercream frosting. But don’t pass up the opportunity to try their equally legendary banana pudding, layered with vanilla wafers, fresh banana and super-creamy and luxurious pudding — it’s one of the most deliciously decadent treats on earth. And don’t get us started on the cakes!

Born in 1996 on a quiet Bleecker Street corner in New York City’s West Village, Magnolia Bakery is a true neighborhood gem, equally beloved by locals and tourists alike. They've opened new locations worldwide since then, but it remains at its heart a quaint, old-fashioned bake shop, with only real, simple ingredients going into its lineup of sweet treats.
