Magnolia Bakery Menu Prices 2026: Full List, Cakes & Best Value

Magnolia Bakery opened its doors on Bleecker Street in New York City's West Village in 1996 and quickly became one of the most talked-about bakeries in the country. Its world-famous banana pudding — layered with vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, and creamy vanilla pudding — draws lines around the block, while its old-fashioned cupcakes frosted with pastel-colored buttercream became a cultural touchstone. Today Magnolia operates locations across the U.S. and ships an expanding line of desserts nationwide.

About

About Magnolia Bakery

Magnolia Bakery was born in 1996 when Jennifer Appel and Allysa Torey opened a tiny shop on the corner of Bleecker and West 11th Streets in New York City's West Village. The bakery was a deliberate antidote to the decade's towering fusion cuisine: plain wooden shelves, rotating ceiling fans, and a menu of humble American comfort sweets — layer cakes, cookies, brownies, and puddings made the way your grandmother might have made them. The shop had no sign outside and no elaborate marketing, yet word spread quickly, and customers lined up around the block on weekends.

A 2000 episode of Sex and the City put Magnolia Bakery on the international map, cementing its cupcakes as a New York City landmark. But it is the banana pudding — layers of house-made Jell-O vanilla pudding folded with fresh bananas and Nilla wafers — that most regulars cite as the truly irreplaceable item. The recipe has barely changed since opening day. Magnolia now operates bakeries in New York (Bleecker Street, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central, Upper West Side, and more), as well as outposts in Los Angeles and select other U.S. cities, plus a nationwide shipping program for many of its most beloved items.

Since 2011 the company has been led by Steve Abrams, who acquired it from its founders and gradually expanded the footprint and the product line — adding cheesecakes, icebox pies, sampler packs, and grocery retail products — while deliberately keeping the in-store aesthetic warm and neighborhood-focused. Magnolia remains one of a small number of American bakeries that can claim a genuine cultural moment, and its flagship Bleecker Street address is still visited by tourists and locals alike every single day.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Magnolia Bakery most famous for?

Magnolia Bakery is most famous for two things: its world-renowned banana pudding and its classic American cupcakes. The banana pudding — made from scratch with house-made vanilla pudding, fresh bananas, and Nilla wafers — has been drawing lines around the block at the Bleecker Street flagship since the 1990s. The cupcakes, frosted with pastel-colored buttercream, became a cultural icon after appearing on Sex and the City in 2000.

How much does Magnolia Bakery banana pudding cost?

In-store, Magnolia Bakery banana pudding is priced by size: Small ($3.75), Medium ($5.50), Large ($6.75), and a 64 oz party container ($34.00). Party bowls for events run $38 (single bowl, serves ~12) and $65 (double bowl, serves ~24). Online shipping prices for pudding cups differ from in-store prices.

How much do Magnolia Bakery cupcakes cost?

Classic cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate) are $3.50 each in-store. Red velvet and specialty cupcakes cost $3.75 each. A dozen mini cupcakes is $18.00. For online nationwide shipping, cupcake assortments start around $30 for six cupcakes, reflecting the added cost of insulated packaging and overnight delivery.

Does Magnolia Bakery ship nationwide?

Yes. Magnolia Bakery ships many of its most popular items across the United States through its website at magnoliabakery.com. Nationwide shipping items include cupcake assortments, cheesecakes, cakes, icebox desserts, sampler packs, and banana pudding products. Shipping prices are higher than in-store prices due to packaging and cold-chain delivery costs.

Does Magnolia Bakery have gluten-free options?

Magnolia Bakery offers a small number of gluten-free items, most notably its Flourless Chocolate Cake, which is available as a cupcake ($4.00), a mini individual cake ($4.00), and as full 1-layer or 2-layer cakes ($35–$65). Guests with severe gluten allergies should note that Magnolia kitchens handle gluten-containing ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible.

Where are Magnolia Bakery locations?

Magnolia Bakery has multiple locations in New York City — including Bleecker Street (the original), Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, and the Upper West Side — as well as locations in Los Angeles. The brand also ships nationwide from its website and has select grocery retail products available in stores. Visit magnoliabakery.com/pages/order-now for the current full list of locations.

What are Magnolia Bakery's best value items?

For the best value in-store, classic cookies at $1.25 each are the most affordable item on the menu, followed by mini muffins at $1.50. A dozen mini cupcakes at $18.00 works out to $1.50 each — a strong deal. For a signature experience, the small banana pudding at $3.75 is considered excellent value for one of the most recognized desserts in New York City.

Does Magnolia Bakery do custom cakes?

Yes. Magnolia Bakery offers decorated versions of its classic and specialty cakes for an additional charge. A 3-layer 6-inch cake starts at $36 plain or $46 decorated; a 3-layer 9-inch specialty cake starts at $65 plain or $80 decorated. Some flavors — including banana, caramel, confetti, and lemon cakes — require advance ordering. Contact your local Magnolia Bakery for custom cake lead times.

Are Magnolia Bakery prices the same at every location?

In-store prices are generally consistent across Magnolia Bakery's U.S. locations, though slight regional variation is possible. Online nationwide shipping prices are higher than in-store prices to account for insulated packaging and express delivery. Delivery platform prices (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) may also differ from in-store prices due to platform fees and markups. Always confirm prices at your specific location.
