Magnolia Bakery - Chicago

"This place is fantastic. The chocolate cake is phenomenal. I also got the confetti cake and it is also pretty great. Definitely will be visiting again. The staff are extremely kind and warm and engaging. I was told the banana pudding is something to be had so I’ll have to come back and try it again. Many of the people in front of me were getting the hot chocolate so that seems like it is something to try as well."

"Yum yum yummy!!! I can’t wait to go back a get more! I tried the Hazelnut, Apple Crisp, regular & cookies and cream banana puddings and all so delicious!! The hazelnut had chocolate chip pieces and could most definitely do without that. Of those weren’t in the pudding I would love it down!! The cookies and cream and apple crisp were so so delicious. The flavor was so good. I love making banana pudding and will be trying new add ins when I make it. However, I will be going here to get some when I don’t feel like making it!! Can’t wait to go back!"

"I’d say the banana pudding lived up to the hype! Light, airy, decadent with a very healthy ratio of cake/wafers to pudding. Staff were all extremely friendly as well. They have a huge variety of baked goods; will be back to try more!"

"The banana pudding is just amazing. Something | guarantee that you will crave after your first visit! ( My wife and I are literally talking about our craving as we speak.) The banana pudding is cold, fresh, and fluffy. Each bite is full of flavor and you get a bite of the banana, vanilla wafers, and pudding in every spoonful. We have gone multiple times and each experience was great. They are very consistent with their products which makes this even better. My wife also got the carrot cake banana pudding and we enjoyed that as well. I will say that the carrot pudding is a little more on the sweeter side but still delicious. Haven't tried any of the baked goods but do plan on doing so on the next visit cause everything looks so good! 100% recommend!"
