About
The line outside Magnolia Bakery in the West Village moves fast, but the wait is worth it. This family-friendly bakery has been serving its world-famous banana pudding and iconic buttercream swirl cupcakes since 1996. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with a mostly mixed gay and straight crowd. You'll feel like you're inside a dollhouse filled with delicious desserts.
Grab a spot anytime between 9:30am and 10pm (later on Fridays). The banana pudding is a must-try if you're not in the mood for a cupcake. It's dog friendly, so you can bring your pup along. While you're in the neighborhood, Katz's Delicatessen is just a short walk away for a classic pastrami sandwich. Check ratings and hours.
Located in the West Village, a historic LGBTQ+ hub in New York City.

It's a tourist trap. You'd be better off going to Georgetown Cupcakes.
