I was craving something sweet while shopping around, so I decided to stop by this place. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake, and it was delicious--not too sweet, which I really enjoyed! Unfortunately, the London Fog latte was a major disappointment. It tasted like hot water and was missing that signature Earl Grey tea flavor. On top of that, both items were pretty pricey for what I got. The cheesecake was definitely the highlight, but the latte wasn't worth it.

Initially only wanted to purchase the classic banana pudding on the road but the chocolate hazelnut one caught my eye. It was so fresh and so delicious. I've never went to this location before, as I've never really been in this area. Other locations in the city I've been to are always so busy. I am so glad I tried the chocolate hazelnut flavor because it was so good. I've bought the similar version but frozen in the grocery store, and the difference in freshness will make you never opt for the store bought versions again.

Vanilla cupcake and banana pudding.

I give this place 3.5 The banana pudding is a solid 4 but the coffee was not good at all! The line was very long but it moves fast! It's definitely worth a visit specially for their famous banana pudding.

I came to this location to try out the banana pudding bar as I am a huge fan of magnolia's banana pudding I was initially going to go with the red velvet pudding but when I asked about the strawberry pudding and after conversing with the preparer I decided to go with the strawberry and I am glad I did, the pudding was super fresh as were the bananas to the point where it almost felt healthy! and with there being actual banana pieces and strawberry in it whose to say it isn't? the way the young lady with the glasses who prepared this was bar none, Ive been enjoying magnolia for YEARS but never had I had a pudding this good!

This location didn't seem as busy as the other locations and was located inside the mall. Luckily, there was little to no wait. There is seating around the area. Just like many others, I came for the banana pudding. It tasted solid, but it wasn't anything mind-blowing. The medium size is good enough to share with 2-3 people. It was sweet, creamy and filling. It was nice to try for the one time.

Cookies and cream Banana pudding
Haley H.

I was so excited to try the banana pudding bar but honestly it was way too sweet! I love dessert but I ended up throwing part of this away because the sweetness was making me a bit sick. I got the cookies and cream banana pudding from the banana pudding bar for around $10. The service was fine and I liked this location inside the mall. There are seats nearby. I would go back to try the regular banana pudding but any extra toppings is too much

Classic Banana Pudding ($4.95 for small)

[Food] - Classic Banana Pudding ($4.95 for a small): So creamy, banana forward, and soft cake! I've only had one really good banana pudding in my life but wow this is phenomenal! I was hesitant at first but we got it cause my friend was craving sweets. Love it! [Service] - Fast and friendly [Ambiance] - Small and casual shop - there are tables close by [Overall] - Would come back again for the banana pudding and to try their ice cream!

Huuuuge fan of Magnolia Bakery! They have a lot of locations and I always manage to stumble upon one when I visit home. Their banana pudding is to die for! A medium size can definitely be split amongst 3 people. I've never had any of their cakes or other desserts but hope to try some soon!

Matcha banana pudding
Jessica Y.

I was so excited to try this month's special flavor, matcha banana pudding. There was fortunately a very short line when we stopped by. They only had the large size left of the matcha flavor. When I opened the container, it initially looked promising with a layer of matcha powder. However, as we started working our way through the container it just looked like the regular banana pudding with maybe one other layer of matcha powder. There was absolutely no matcha taste. While there's certainly nothing wrong with the original banana pudding (it was still very tasty), I was super disappointed by the matcha flavor. There was lots of potential with this flavor. However, I did reach out to customer service and they were very quick to respond.

I came here and got a confetti cupcake! It was super yummy - not too sweet. The sprinkles kind of got everywhere though. The guy who helped me was very kind too.

Pumpkin Spice Pudding Small
Rochelle N.

Run don't walk to try the pumpkin spice pudding, especially if you love any kind of pumpkin dessert. This was so delicious!! It had gobs of cookie butter mixed in with the normal banana pudding mix ins and everything just complimented each other really well. The shop is tiny but there was no wait on a Saturday afternoon. Really easy to just pickup what you're looking for and the workers are so sweet.

Che C.

Magnolia's reputation speaks for itself. The line was long but moved steadily, and it was absolutely worth the wait. The portions are generous for the price--a large classic banana pudding costs $8.75. I usually avoid banana pudding with sliced bananas because I don't like how they turn brown, but I loved that Magnolia blends the bananas right into the pudding. It was incredibly delicious, and my only regret is not buying more than one. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and I highly recommend it!

Variety of desserts
Gloria N.

No wait and a chance to try their famous banana pudding, sign me up!! I stopped by the Magnolia Bakery shop located in Hudson Yards on the 4th floor. As there was pretty much no wait, I easily ordered a banana pudding and was off on my way to eat it. I ordered a medium size which was perfect to share with others to try their famous banana pudding. It was very creamy and the hint of banana taste complimented it well. There are plenty of tables on each floor so you can easily find a spot to enjoy.

While visiting Hudson Yards I stopped in and ordered the banana pudding cookie. The banana taste was very strong. 7/10 overall.

This might be one of the most beautifully curated bakeries I've ever been to. I was completely…read moreobsessed the second we walked in, especially with all of the desserts designed to look like actual fruit! Mango, blueberry, avocado, lemon - you name it, they somehow turned it into the cutest, most beautifully crafted pastry. Everything looked almost too pretty to eat... almost. We definitely tried more things than we probably needed to, but it was 100% worth it. The pastries weren't just beautiful either--they were genuinely delicious. We also tried a couple of their specialty lattes, which were really tasty and paired perfectly with all of the desserts. It was VERY busy when we visited, so definitely expect a crowd, but I completely understand the hype. The space is beautiful, the pastry cases are basically works of art, and there are so many things you'll want to try that it's almost impossible to choose. Honestly, this place would be dangerous if I lived nearby because I would be here WAY too often. Absolutely worth a visit, especially if you love pastries and desserts!

While walking around Flatiron, I decided to try this new bakery because it looked really cute and…read morehad some interesting desserts. Little did I know I was about to be OD disappointed. We kept things pretty basic and got a plain croissant, along with their holiday special hot dog croissant, which was shaped like a little dachshund. Honestly, it was pretty cute! The two items came out to around $13, so not the cheapest snack, but not the worst either. Food: 2/5 I'm not gonna lie to you, I didn't even think a croissant could be THIS plain. The outside looked perfect, and the texture seemed like it was going to deliver that flaky, buttery goodness you expect from a good croissant. But then I bit into it, and the inside was just... bread. Plain bread. Like, how is this even possible?! How did you manage to get the flaky texture and everything looking right, but somehow have so little buttery flavor? It was giving me more of a basic dinner roll than a croissant. I was genuinely confused. Then we tried the hot dog croissant special. Unfortunately, the pastry itself had a slightly burnt taste around the tip, which wasn't ideal. Luckily, the hot dog saved it a little because it added some savory flavor and made the whole thing more enjoyable than the plain croissant. Would I intentionally come back just for these two items? Honestly, no. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. Maybe the fruit desserts or cakes are what people actually come here for, and I just completely missed the point. But based on what I tried, I was pretty disappointed. Vibes: 4/5 I will say, the bakery itself was super cute and had that very trendy Flatiron vibe. It was also PACKED, so clearly people are coming here for something! The place definitely looked the part, and I can see why it catches your attention when you're walking by. All in all, I'm a little torn because the bakery was cute, the pastries looked promising, and I really wanted to love it. But when your plain croissant somehow tastes like plain bread, it's hard to get excited about coming back. Maybe I picked the wrong items, and I'd be willing to believe their cakes and fruit desserts are better. But am I going to make a special trip back to find out? Probably not. For now, it's a 2/5 from me. Cute bakery, trendy vibes, but the croissants just weren't doing it for me!

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I went to this place because of the Winnie the Pooh pop-up. It was very crowded, but the lattes…read morewere really delicious. I'm not gonna say anything about the wait time because it was really crowded and I'm sure it's not like this on the daily basis. The drinks were good, so that's really all you have to know. The interior was very cute. They decorated it for the event, but even without it it was a small New York style coffee shop. Definitely good vibes. Also, it was very large and had a lot of seating so if you wanted to go and have a little seat and enjoy yourself, you'll have more than enough room plus there was tons of outdoor seating and if the weather is nice, it's beautiful to sit outside.

The Cardamom Latte (9/10) was almost perfect. I got it with oat milk, which made it nice and nutty…read more The espresso was on the lighter side, so I wished it had a richer, stronger espresso flavor, but it was still really satisfying and not too sweet. The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor. It was perfectly sweet and I could genuinely eat so many of these. This one made me love cardamom buns, and I'm not sure if any others will top it. Vibes were a 9.5/10.
