replying to u/InSearchOfGoodPun: I feel like back in the day, the tourists were all lined up for Magnolia cupcakes, and it took a while for them to figure out the banana pudding, which I thought was more popular with locals. Personally, I usually get my pudding from sugar sweet sunshine. Baonanas is also good.

replying to u/No-Yogurtcloset2314: It’s famous because people think banana pudding is special. Their recipe is everywhere and you can make it at home or find good banana pudding anywhere. Their cakes are ass.

replying to u/bluetruedream19: As a southerner who is headed to NYC next month I have a hard time believing that Magnolia really makes a better banana pudding than my husband’s Memphis born & bred grandma. I’m glad to be wrong but it would feel weird to wait in a line for pudding. We’re trying to try things that we just don’t have in our area. Jewish delis, NYC style pizza, international cuisine (especially Greek/Middle Eastern), an egg cream, a proper BEC, etc. I’m also certain that an average NYC bagel is much better than what we can get.

replying to u/No-Amphibian-3294: Banana Pudding is the only consistent and solid thing from them. I repeat it once in a while and think it's worth it to call it a thing. (But I'm biased because live close to one of their locations)
“Their banana pudding is great, but they have so many other puddings lately and always coming up with new ones. And they're all so delicious.”
