    Pumpkin spice latte
    Melinda K.

    Ever since I tried their Brownie cookie from my last Yelp Elite event at Pizza Hub back in November, I decided to try their lattes and other cookie flavors since my friend hyped about it. I came an hour after opening time and there were a few people waiting to receive their orders. Expect to wait 20 minutes for a single coffee/matcha latte and remind the barista to give your cookie. I recommend walking around the farmers market while you wait so you don't freeze your butt off during winter. To be honest, I had difficulty tasting the flavors of their seasonal lattes. It was mostly oat milk, not much pear flavor and pumpkin spice flavor. Their cookies were the best part, which made me come back for more. I recommend getting their stamp loyalty card if you're going to visit frequently to get a reward for collecting all their stamps.

    Magical Box Bakery is a food vendor at Newark Farmers Market every week. It's an unattached white caboose. Friendly people. No decor The new location isn't as close to the freeway as before. It's nearer to the front entrance of NewPark Mall. Plenty of parking as usual. Offerings: baked cookies(sweet treats), summer menu, tea, lattes, coconut coffees, signature coffees. Short line. Sips: dirty ube latte (6.50) ordered, pd. Ready in 5ish minutes. New item on menu. -not disappointed thou didn't know what to expect -tasted slightly sweet from house made ube syrup. Shot of ristretto espresso not tastable though 1/2 the water used. Obviously, the milk overpowered the espresso & ube. -noticed some drinks have double espresso shots. 4.5 stars: worthy. Quality/Quality: adequate

    Magical box is a coffee and sweet treat truck at the farmer's market. I tried the London fog with their house made vanilla syrup and it was very nice on a cold and gloomy day. The earl gray tea was prominent. They offer a variety of other specialty coffee and matcha drinks with house-made syrups. Good service. Casual. Please come and create your own experience.

    Salted chocolate chip, moist with a crunchy bottom, tasted great

    AMAZING COOKIES! These are better than Christina Tocci cookies and the best thing is you are supporting a local family with serious baking skills. Magical Box is available at Farmers Markets and also do delivery and pickup, you can preorder on their website. We found them at Newarks Farmers Market and it's been one of the best unplanned discoveries we've had in awhile. You can't beat fresh-baked cookies, the taste and texture at the most optimal. S'mores Sandwich Cookie, an evolved version of the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. Soft cake-like batter melts gently in your mouth, sandwiching a cloud-like marshmellow layer. It's very balanced and not too sweet, every bite I had I kept asking myself "why is this so good". Salted Chocolate Chip, crunchy layer on bottom with a soft bite-through. Salt and chocolate a great mix of sweet and savory. We got a single Bougie-Cookie which is not pictured, its a great oatmeal cookie based on the urban-legend $250 NM cookie recipe.

    I was on Yelp late at night and saw Magical Box Bakery on my feed again. My mouth started to water remembering the last time I got cookies from here. Unfortunately preorders were closed, so on a whim messaged her on Facebook to check if their farmers market stand had walk-in purchases. I woke up early on a Sunday and went to the Newark Farmers market at the Newpark Mall next to the AMC. I probably bought way too much for myself. I got a box of Snicker doodles, kerfuffles, and Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were all so good! Moist and flavorful without being too sweet. I also got the brownies she was selling. Delicious. I sort of wish she had an assortment cookie box which had all the flavors, so I could try everything without having to get a full box of each. I only say this as I'm getting chubby eating all these cookies

    I got the s'mores bar and I was so disappointed. And I loves s'mores everything! It's literally just a chunk of marshmallow. Graham cracker layer was literally just crumbs. I wish it was thicker. The marshmallow wasn't really toasted, it was just for the color I guess. Picture on IG makes it look hella good. I took a star off for the taste and another star off for the price. I really wanted to like it so I wanted to warn others. Hard pass for me. I purchased 2. Took a bit and threw both away. It was so disappointing that I drove me to write a review.

    Cute and simple packaging

    The easiest transaction ever, and the Red Stars are totally deserving! Heather was able to accommodate my last minute order of 5 dozen cookies for my son's graduation party and each cookie flavor did not disappoint! Salted Chocolate Chip - Amazing! Kerfuffle with customized M&M colors - So cute and yummy! Bougie Cookie - Delish! Snickerdoodle - Soo good! And the pièce de ré·sis·tance - Magic Swirl! I packaged each cookie in its own bag so guests wouldn't be touching the cookies but Heather packaged each dozen in brown boxes with red and white twine. Each box was labeled with the cookie flavor inside, and she also included instructions on how to keep the cookies and how to warm them up if we choose to. I was definitely pleased with the cookies we got from Magical Box and I look forward to ordering from her again!

    I was referred by a family member, and I am so happy I ordered cookies from here. If you want to sample some flavors before ordering, Heather (the owner and baker) is occasionally at the Newark farmer's market on Sundays. I ordered 6 different flavors for my coworkers, and the fan favorites were the magic swirls, s'mores and cookies n cream. Everything was delicious and it was a very easy transaction. Heather replies quickly on Yelp and you can pay via venmo. Once they're done, you pick them up outside of her house. For larger orders, she prefers a week's notice. I am happy to support this home bakery and will definitely order again in the future!

    Delicious! Reminds me of the good ol elementary school days!

    OMG the Magical Swirl cookies! They were so soft and melt in your mouth. The packaging is so well done: simple and matching the cookies. The Magic Maker (baker) is always baking new, amazing goods so make sure to follow her on Facebook or Instagram for the latest creations!! Next on my list: Butterbeer cookies, Bougie Chip, Star Brioche loafs!

    The Magic Swirl cookie.   Red velvet and sugar cookie swirled together.  Yum!
    Misty D.

    I preordered a batch of the Magic Swirl cookies. They're so good! I love red velvet cake so this was right up my alley. Ordering is super easy and so is pickup. I'm definitely looking forward to trying all their flavors!

Now for the options, they all sounded good and were hard to choose from! I like that they have specials of the month, seasonal, and mainstays. I choose one of monthly specials coconut pudding, and mainstay french silk. I also ordered the cheese burger hand pie for my husband, which he loved! The coconut pudding pie was sooo good, loved the texture and flavor, they had toasted coconut on the side to add on top. The fresh silk pie was my favorite! It was not overly chocolatey and had a nice mousse texture, there was an under layer of crisp ganache that made all the flavors and textures pop! The crust is nice and buttery and flakey. These were not heavy pies, just creamy light melt in your mouth. They also have frozen pies so you can take and bake yourself. This definitely satisfied my sweet tooth, and will be back this time to order a whole pie!

Some of my favorites over time have been the chocolate chess, cheeseburger, and berry custard pies. All very different, but all really good in their own way. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for pie!! There are honestly not a lot of places around that you can get crafted pies from, so I think they fill a niche market here - a market that I am certainly a part of.

Amber was so sweet, she helped me box up my order and went over the flavors of the donuts i chose before closing the box in front of me. I got the black sesame, churro, matcha hazelnut, chocolate hazelnut, melona and the blueberry cream filled. Let me tell you these donuts are perfect if you dont like anything too sweet. My mom who usually splits one donut over the span of 3-4 days to finish, ate her entire blueberry donut in one sitting without even sharing. They do recommend that you enjoy them asap or to place them in an airtight container so they don't dry out. I did not do so, so my donut dried out (eating a dry but delicious day old donut as i write this). All in all my experience was amazing and I will definitely be coming back to try that guava donut if its there!!! I also recommend checking out and exploring their website. They have a gallery of the donuts they've created and case studies of how they come up with their flavors!
