Indulged in Magnolias Bakery's signature banana pudding—an absolute delight! The perfect blend of flavors left my taste buds dancing. A must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Delightful treat at Magnolias!
A wonderful place to get a delicious birthday cake.. just a tip: get the icebox cake. It’s worth it and when your guests see it and they ooo and ahh, as it’s really unique looking and very tasty. I like it because it’s not like a traditional cake. And no the cookies do not pull off, as one of my guests figured that out quickly.
Never did I think I would ever be a banana pudding person but today’s visit to Magnolia bakery changed all of that. We ordered the classic and I was shocked at how creamy, flavourful, and full of fresh banana chunks the pudding was. I’m a changed woman. 10/10
I was passing by and then the freshly bake smell coming from this place was irresistible. I stopped by. They didn’t have a lot of stuff, however a few variation of cheese cake and some vanilla pudding, etc. I got myself a pecan sweet caramel one. It was very decent- not much sweet. I will go back to taste other stuff.
Beautiful vintage store. The Banana Puddin is the most delicious dessert. You must try it! People is friendly, you can pay cash or card. It is easy to find. The prices are a little high but it is worth to try it! They sale differnet pastries and coffee. There are tables inside and outside to enjoy Chicago's downtown! 100% recommended!
Before you visit here;
This is a delightful bakery, offers a delectable assortment of freshly baked goods. From cupcakes to decadent cakes and pastries, every item is made with precision and care. The inviting atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a delightful bakery experience.
Very good banana pudding experience! There’s tons of cake slices too. No parking because it’s down town.
We reached around 20 minutes before closing and almost everything was gone. We went there on June 3rd and there was a BIIG line.
Well- let’s talk about their famous banana pudding- we had the classic medium and fell in love with it.
Must try!
Good seating area around & it is right opposite to Macys- shop and eat was our motto 😂
We came here, the cupcakes were alright although on the expensive side for what you get in my view. It's an alright place, but I didn't feel like it was worth the hype or the price.
One of the best bakeries in downtown Chicago.. I have to make it to this bakery while in Chicago to indulge in their slices of cakes and pastries. It will not disappoint you. Call ahead if you are looking for a specific slice or cake because they may be sold out.
I forgot to leave my review for them. After having not 1 but 2 bakeries either mess up my daughters birthday cupcakes or weren't able to do what was requested. Magnolia came through for what was needed. I do wish they had someone on staff that could do more designs but they were great & the cupcakes were so good. They were still very pretty as well.
Magnolia Bakery in Chicago is a must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. The cafe au lait is simply divine, and I couldn't help feeling like I was having a religious experience with every sip. It was the perfect balance of bold coffee flavor and creamy milk, like reuniting with old friends.
But the real stars of the show were the cupcakes and brownies. The cupcakes were moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the brownie was incredibly decadent. Every bite was an explosion of flavor in my mouth.
However, the piece de resistance had to be the cheesecake. It was hands down the best cheesecake I've ever tasted.
The crust was perfectly buttery, and the cheesecake filling was smooth and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. It was truly a masterpiece.
Overall, Magnolia Bakery in Chicago is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in some delicious treats. Whether you're a fan of cupcakes, brownies, or cheesecake, you won't be disappointed. The cafe au lait alone is worth the trip.
If you’re looking for the BEST bakery-made banana pudding- here it is!! The line is often long or out the door, however, that is a true testament to how DELICIOUS these desserts are! You will not be disappointed in the banana pudding. ⭐️
I need my banana pudding every once in a while and this place is my choice if I'm downtown.
Downtown spots are a bit pricey but you get some good tasting pudding. I like the classic. I did try the s'mores one before and that was too sweet for me. Even the classic is a bit more sweet than I'd make my own, but it's not an overpowering sugar-rush type of sweetness (maybe a bit, but not overpowering).
They have other treats as well and I'll have to try them at some point.
Okay so I wasnt expecting much as pudding is simple to make however. I was pleasantly suprised how good their banana pudding and cookies and creme was! If your planning on getting a small I would suggest you size up. The small is VERY small more like childs size. Will be back for bigger size. The cake looked delicious as well and will try next time. Very cute decor!
We tried red believer cheese cake , it was great ; Dont go here with your wife , she will take you shopping Zara next door.
