I am a freak diet conscious but I love to eat pudding and milk cake on my cheat day.

Finally I found a place where I can go and have the Milk Cake with an amazing coffee.

This milk cake @magnoliabakery is absolute divine... and I am hooked... the sponge cake soaked in a cream liquid you just get addicted, it was simply yumm , priced at 35Dhs and can be easily shared by 2 people as it’s heavy and filling. Do try this out when at Magnolia, its also one of thier bestsellers !!

I went to the bakery to have their famous banana pudding. With the pudding also ordered chocolate pudding parfait and cuppaccino.
The banana pudding was yumm and chocolate pudding was just okay.
I could see the variety of cakes and cupcakes at the bakery.
The lady who attended us was high on spirits and gave a pleasant service🙂.
Definately going back for the banana pudding.

I loved the brunch I had this morning. Magnolia sure knows how to keep their customers and their tummies happy. The French toast is arguably the best with the sides - fresh cream, fresh berries, maple syrup outdoing each other. I loved their omelette too - the best part being that they called in to know what specifics I require.

Tried the Red Velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, Chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling and Banana pudding. Chocolate cupcake was quite rich; didn't like the frosting too much. Banana Pudding was a delight; not overly sweet - the blend of subtle vanilla and banana was absolutely perfect. Red Velvet cupcake was a complete winner for me - probably the best I've ever had; the frosting was so rich, creamy and delicious - perfect consistency!

No one makes or can ever make banana pudding like these lads. The Original flavor is amazing. They keep adding flavors to the pudding occasionally. Rest off the desserts look tempting too. Can't wait to try them. Go for it!!

If you come from New York, you know how popular Magnolia’s bakery is. Luckily, we have it here in Dubai too. I had introduced this place to my husband and told him he needs to try the banana pudding. Ever since then, he hasn't stopped.

The breakfast they offer, is really good too. My fav are the red velvet pancakes. They are so fluffy and the right amount of sweetness. The cupcakes and cakes are also a must try.

That’s how happy I am that I tried this carrot cake from magnolia bakery dfc. I liked their traditional yet chic style. It has a nice vintage stamp across. Staff is very friendly, and professional. They guide you well and that too enthusiastically. I liked their packaging as well and they offer a number of options for preorders.
So coming to the taste of this slice of carrot cake: it was a good portion to suit two people, especially after dinner. The batter had a subtle hint of coconut and dressing had lots of pecans all over. The filling of sour cream brought the right tanginess to complement the crumbly, slightly sweetened but very rich in flavour carrot batter. 🌟

A sweet tooth like me can never stay away from Magnolia Bakery.
So I have visited this branch quite a few times but for some reason they are inconsistent in delivering Customer service and cakes.
Dubai Mall branch is still by far the best Magnolia branch in Dubai! You will never go wrong with friendly,energetic staff always willing to assist you not will you go wrong with choosing cakes,pudding or cupcakes.

I still recommend everyone to try Dubai Mall branch as they are the best!

Heading to @magnoliabakeryuae was all the assurance we needed to know we were going to have a fab day.
.
Nothing to beat their banana pudding- it’s huge dollops of creamy vanilla pudding with the fresh pieces of banana and layers of vanilla wafers combined into a heavenly mixture.
.
Enough talking, back to eating!

Magnolia Bakery is not a food spot, it is a culture. 

Do it 

The Banana Pudding - subtle, fluff of yellow that kisses you gently. The texture of the ever-so-slightly chewy sponge against the melt-in-the-mouth mousse- feels like comfort food. A big yes! 

Red Velvet Cupcakes - crowd pleaser

The German Chocolate - I like the chocolate-coconut-caramel interaction but it can be a bit overwhelming for non-sweet-tooths. You'd have be a bit of a sugar fiend and dessert native for this one. 

Black Coffee - bold and available for the desserts you are going to pair it with. 

Meh 

The Milk Cake - tis ok. but you have better options for dessert here. 

The Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie - so flat 

Don't bother 

The Iced Chocolate - tastes like diluted Hershey's when your kid brother has had all the syrup.  When the nice service staff tried again,  the in-house chocolate powder refused to dissolve into the milk.

Located in Dubai festival city, one of my favourite restaurants for breakfast.

I used to order their carrot pancake ( it's a must ) and the egg with goat cheese ( I forgot the exact name) .

They have a also huge variety of cupcakes and they well known for banana pudding.

Ambiance is very good and different than most of mall restaurants, waiters were friendly and service was perfect.

Their chocolate cake used to be epic and huge but they’ve changed it somehow so it’s just fine.

Came here Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. They have beautiful displays of cakes and desserts to chose. Had to wait a few minutes for a chair to be available for my husband. Plenty of staff around to assist.
Tried the lotus cheesecake and devils food cupcake. The cheesecake was smooth, creamy , a little more rich and dense then your average cheesecake. The cupcake was amazing. Mocha buttercup on top that added a unique taste . Loved that you can taste the cupcake and it wasn’t too overpowering

Today was my visit at this Cafe and it was sweet to core. I ordered a cappuccino with red velvet cake and lotus cheesecake. Though it got too sweet to handle but both the cakes were amazing and tasted so nice. Red velvet cake had oreo crust and whipped cream topping that made it a little rich but that's fine for people with sweet tooth. Lotus cheesecake is a must try as it's their best seller. Overall the service was nice and quick, the staff is really polite and helpful and they honor each customer a lot. Thank you for making my evening best.

We went to this restaurant for the famous banana pudding. It is undoubtedly the best pudding I've eaten with laters of fresh banana, pudding and cake crumbs. It was chilled and super delicious. The only thing that I was disappointed about is the hygiene. The tables were not clean and neither was the cutlery. We had to ask for the spoons to be changed since they didn't seem to be washed properly with Kota of residue on it. Taste-wise really good but such a famous international chain should work on the presentation and cleanliness as well.

Just one word to describe this place "FANTASTIC". This place has the most amazing delicious cakes and cupcakes. They are so soft and topped with the best possible ingredients. My favourite from this place has to be the red velvet cake. If given a choice I could eat them almost every single day and still not get bored. The red velvet cake is so soft and the cream cheese icing on top is like heaven in your mouth

This is one of My favorite place for desserts ....
Not only the famous Banana puding is yummy here But their cakes and Ice Creams are sooper delish and melt in the mouth.

If your craving for a perfect chocolate cake to make your life happy check out their simple Choco Cake with frosting. Want something fancy try the cheesecakes. Or a comforting bowl of banana pudding.

Also their coffee is strong and creamy. Compliments their desserts very well.

I just wish they get their Lotus banana Pudding back soon.

Coffee can be improved. Coffee taste had a burnt taste probably because the temperature was too hot (as the locals prefer).

Subscribe to my YT channel (Edda Iglesia-Corbito) for a detailed review. 💕

Being a person with a sweet tooth, i love places like this! We ordered the red velvet pancake and full pan breakfast. Both has a good amount of serving and smelled very delicious especially the pancake. The full pan was savory and had tomatoes, potatoes, chicken, poach eggs, bread, mushroom and bacon. I wish they could have more options in their menu as I have been told that they removed their pastas. Other than that, this is a very nice place for brunch. I would go back here to try their other sweets. 😊

Was in Festival city for some shopping and happen to pass by this joint . Since my kid is a red velvet cake freak thought of trying one from here . The bakery interiors are very pretty . The staff also was very welcoming and friendly. First just got one red velvet cup cake packed but then happen to see the carrot cup cake which looked very nice and fresh . Then staff also insisted that I try that so got that packed as well . Both the cakes were so so so fresh . Red velvet’s base and icing were very yummy. But I personally liked the carrot one since it had pieces of raisins which enhanced the flavour all the more . Prices are a bit high for such a small cake but it’s worth trying .

Already a huge fan of their famous cupcakes, my partner insisted that I should try their also famous banana pudding. So off we go to their Festival branch. I really love their almost pastel themed interior, it's so easy on the eyes and very calming.

We had the regular banana pudding and in java chip flavor too. A medium size is more than enough coz it's really heavy, and the java chip flavor is superb. Just the right balance of flavors. We also ordered for take away the red velvet with a chocolate cookie crust and blueberry cheesecake which both are amazing. And the good thing is they are Entertainer friendly.

Pebam, the lady in the counter is great. She didn't mind us troubling her with all those questions we had and she kept a very friendly attitude.

Undoubtedly...the best cupcakes and banana pudding in town. Big fan of their Devil's mocha cupcake and the original banana pudding (however the variants like peanut butter and lotus are nowhere close to the original). They have introduced a unique range of ice creams infusing flavours of their famous cakes. One of the few places that have friendly, helpful and happy staff across the counter.

The first thing that strikes about this is the decor.. a pretty bakery .. for breakfast we ordered the red velvet pancake which was soooo soft and fluffy.. and the French toast with salted banoffee.. the French toast was just perfectly sweet and the caramelized bananas balanced it right. The hot chocolate and cappuccino was nice .. the breakfast is a big portion and at the end ur just too full.
