Magnolia Bakery Rockefeller Center

My family and I absolutely love the Classic Banana Pudding. Whenever I'm in the area, I always make sure to pick some up!

Visited New York to try Magnolia! I have cupcakes, the red velvet cheesecake and the famous banana pudding! My favorite was definitely my favorite! The cupcakes were a bit too sweet for me and not sure I was the biggest fan of banana pudding in general, but everything was still good!

This bakery was on our must visit list when planning our trip especially to try their famous banana pudding. The pudding was deliciously creamy and was any banana lovers dream. We visited several of the bakeries throughout NY city to purchase coffees, drinks and even more banana pudding! Would highly recommend. View menu

The best carrot cake I've ever had! I know the banana pudding is the main highlight, but I personally prefer to try a cake. It was moist and had just the right amount of cream cheese frosting. I will definitely be buying some to take home. Be prepared to wait in line for about 15-20 minutes. You order first and then wait in line to pay for your items. It's absolutely worth the wait!

If you're in the mood for a dessert that is creamy, light, and bursting with banana flavor—almost like cake—then you have to try this! Magnolia's banana pudding is legendary, and they introduce different variations each season. However, the classic recipe remains the best of them all! With locations in various areas, you'll easily spot one if there's a long line—it's definitely worth the wait!

One of our favorite places to visit when we're in NYC is this restaurant. Their famous banana bread pudding is absolutely delicious. The service is always friendly and impressively quick, even considering how busy this location tends to be. The interior has a charming, cozy atmosphere, and while it’s surprisingly small, it manages to serve a large crowd. It's a must-visit if you're in the area! View menu

Wow, the banana pudding definitely lives up to the hype! We visited on Thursday afternoon, and it was quite busy. The banana pudding is pre-packaged and located near the register, which makes it super convenient. I also tried an iced chai latte, and it was pretty good. However, the pudding was something I've never tasted before, and it’s a must-try! It's not overly sweet, and the pieces of cake and bananas create an amazing texture. I ordered the small size, but I could easily have finished a larger portion on my own. We even spotted Tracy Morgan ahead of us in line! It seems the stars love it too.

I want to elaborate on my review as I'm typically not a big fan of sweet foods. A friend with a sweet tooth insisted we stop here. Since I love bananas, I decided to try the banana pudding. It was a solid, traditional dessert—nothing particularly imaginative or extraordinary, but definitely enjoyable if you're a banana fan. My friend ordered the Red Velvet Banana Pudding Cookie and a brownie. He thought the brownie was quite good, but found the cookie to be just average. The banana pudding in the cookie felt like an afterthought, and the banana flavor didn’t really stand out in the cookie’s aroma. Overall, it’s a decent place to stop for something sweet if you’re in the mood.

Ehh probably get lynched for this one, but it’s not all it’s hyped up to be!!! Cakes were reasonable albeit large a sickly but that’s a matter of opinion. There was a woman on the door ushering in people inside it was all a little chaotic if you’re not familiar with the routine and where to stand, about 90% of us were tourists and the typical, queue dodging, pushing in and confused faces ensued! In terms of accessibility those with physical disabilities may struggle a little my two have autism and they managed but glad to get out. We went to buy a birthday cake my daughter and it was all a little underwhelming. Ouh we did get to buy a birthday candle at the till which saved me a trip to targ... View menu
