Is there anyone out there that doesn't like cupcakes? Well, New Yorkers love them and Magnolia Bakery has six locations around the city to help with the cupcake craze. Each month there are delicious daily cupcake flavors like carrot cake, German chocolate cake, and blueberry lemon. If you like the classic kind of cupcakes, they've got that covered too with vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet cupcakes. Magnolia Bakery has more than just cupcakes, they are baking muffins, scones, layer cakes, and loaves. Magnolia Bakery also gives back with daily food donations to local communities and participates in International aid efforts.
While Magnolia is both a trap for tourists and a guilty pleasure for locals, the West Village location on Bleeker Street allows you to indulge in your favorite cupcakes in one of the chain's quieter locations. Located in the quaint West Village, this place doesn't get too crowded - especially compared to its more famous location by Rockefeller Center - so you can usually run in and out quickly to pick up your favorite cupcake. This location is definitely my favorite out of the multiple ones I've been to around the city!
I know Magnolia's is really touristy, but I still like it. I never wait in the long lines for them, but the cupcakes are delicious. However, the most spectacular thing at Magnolia's is the banana pudding. Seriously, I've never tasted its equal. Even if you don't like bananas that much, you have to get this dessert. Is is SO well made. There is just the right amount of thick, sweet cream, soft mushy bread and banana. I wish I could describe it better, but really just go, and you'll thank me. get a coffee to go with it, because nothing is a better pick-me-up than some coffee and cake, sugar and caffeine. The coffee helps to cut the sweet as well.
