MAGNOLIA BAKERY REVIEWS

Glad I got to experience this iconic bakery while visiting NYC. Good variety of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other good looking pastries, as well as their famous banana pudding. Be mindful that there is one line for the puddings and a separate line for the other items. We came in the evening toward closing time and it wasn’t a long wait. The banana pudding is light, fluffy, the perfect texture, and not too sweet. It is worth a stop if you are in the city.

The banana pudding is what everyone goes for and I understand why, the stuff is incredible. I dragged my partner there 3 evenings on the bounce. I also tried the chocolate cake and brownie which were also very tasty indeed. Good prices and quick services.

It's always a delight to drop in Magnolia Bakery and bring a bag of goodies back away! The cheesecake is so delicious! Magic bars and German chocolate cake found their way into our order. The wait is worth it!

MIA'S BROOKLYN BAKERY REVIEWS

Worth the hype!! They do have the best cupcake in New York! Great place for afternoon tea and dessert. Cute and welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and beautiful presentation. I had a slice of German Chocolate Cake and a cup of latte. And took home 4 cupcakes with Tres Leches Cup Cake which absolutely delicious.

I love to go here for my study’s because they offer wifi and there’s many tables to sit on ,even and outside sitting area, the atmosphere is very calm and the pastry’s are very delicious. I also love the food presentation when you dine in, love this place.

I always get good quality of cakes, pastries and ham croissants from this store. Being a frequent customer here, I only have good things to say from quality, service and value for money. I always leave the store with a smile.

FERRARA BAKERY & CAFE REVIEWS

Ferrari’s is an Italian bakery and cafe in Little Italy’s Grand Street that opened in 1892. After our dismal meal at the noodle restaurant, I told Jennifer that we needed to sweeten our minds. The variety of cakes and pastries is tempting. We got a table. Jennifer ordered hazelnut (nocciola) gelato. I opted for a cappuccino and a sfogliatelle pastry. The pastry had a crispy and flaky crust and was tasty. Carmelo was our server and he was efficient. I always buy rainbow cookies that are one of their best sellers. I bought two which will last me at least a week as it’s difficult to ration once opened.

First time in NY and recommendations lead me to this bakery… I was amazed with all the pastries and different gelato flavors they had… the coffee was delicious and the pastries we tried were well made… this is by far the best bakery I ever been too it’s one of those places you have to go again and again to be able to savor all the great pastries they offer.

Cute place in Little Italy that we found via researching. It came highly recommended by locals for desserts. We stopped in and had coffee and dessert. The staff was super friendly and fun at the dine in section. Everything we had was amazing! Thanks to everyone who recommended it!
