Magnolia Bakery

"Cheerful bakeshop serving classic homemade cupcakes, pies & other treats at the counter."

Magnolia Bakery is a New York bakeshop, founded in 1996, serving classic homemade cupcakes, pies, and other counter treats with catering and gifting options available for events. The bakery is known for its banana pudding bar, cupcakes with American buttercream, and a recipe book of no-bake icebox desserts written by CEO and Chief Baking Officer Bobbie Lloyd. Cupcake decorating workshops are also offered. Operating since 1996, Magnolia Bakery has grown from a neighborhood shop to a multi-location operation now offering U.S. franchising opportunities. Available for nationwide shipping, local pickup, and catering events; retail locations include New York City (original location and Grand Central). Reviewers most often highlight the banana pudding (noted for real banana chunks and a creamy, not-too-sweet texture) and also praise the cupcakes, caramel pecan cheesecake, and apple crisp pudding, with friendly staff mentioned across multiple visits.
