The pudding is so good! I got the Banana Pudding and wow, didn't expect it to be such a treat! The flavors were on point and made for such a delicious dessert. I wanted to try the Red Velvet flavor, but they said it wasn't in season, hopefully they'll have next time I'm here. I also regret getting the medium size, get a large pint because it's quite addicting!

I love magnolias banana pudding and I've had it from numerous locations throughout the city inside Bloomingdales and near Rockefeller center. However this location was not it honestly. I ordered a large. The batch I received had no flavor whats so ever and the bananas tasted sour. Please ensure that you're selling good batches. This experience won't stop me. I will continue to get my banana pudding just never again from this location.

So, Magnolia Bakery makes extraordinary banana pudding that rivals that of my nana but don't tell her. The West Village location is no exception. The reason for the 3 stars is because I've been to the location a few times and they've closed up shop earlier than the posted times online. My suggestion would just be to call before you have your heart set on the banana pudding and make the trek to walk over.

The store is pretty small and warm but it smells so good. Service was ok - they were busy, so it seemed like a get you out as soon as possible thing. I came for the banana pudding, and oh my god, it was delicious. Everything I expected and more. I wish I could take tubs home with me. You have to try it.
