Tried their OG banana pudding, we got a medium sized one which was a little too much for 2 of us to share as we were already full from lunch. Nonetheless, it was good creamy banana-y and smooth. Must try if you love dessert.

Nice bakery with various options.the sweet French toast was nice. The restaurant is full of life many guests are there. The order take 30 to 20 minutes to get it. It is high quality restaurant 👌

Big burger portions along with chicken strips. Delicious mouth watering deserts. Amazing cheesecakes, banana pudding with cardamon tea. Quite busy and the service was amazing. Keep it up!

We ordered a Banana Pudding pot and a Chocolate Ganache Cupcake.Banana pudding is the best. It is a bit on the sweet side, but the banana flavour is incredible - it tastes natural (not like the fake banana chocolate bars that have so much artificial banana flavour in them).It is definitely a dish worth trying.

Very very average, the food is plain, with a boring taste... And they don’t have a drinks menu, had to ask for each drink .. do you have this, do you have that, how much is this and how much is that ..The service is great however, nice and friendly staff.But it’s a meh for me

The food is amazing. I often pick up their desserts as take away. Today I stopped in for a coffee date - the service was horrible. We waited 20 Mins just for the check only to find out they messed up our table number and gave our check to another table. I’ll stick to this place for take away, but won’t eat there again. (The new location).

A burger is not just a burger. Magnolia.s food is carefully and freshly prepared at half the price of other competitors. And offcourse.. the banana pudding ordered for home consumption later ❤️❤️❤️🤗

Managed to ruin a Birthday!!!.....although ordered and fully paid for 2 days in advance with a specific emphasis on early delivery, they have failed miserably to deliver between the promised delivery window they had provided. Despite continuous follow ups during the due day.When my call was picked up eventually, I was advised the delivery is on its way......but 1.5 hours later, still nothing.....and Im still waiting!!!! The whats ap number provided, calls were not picked up nor responses to the many messages i had sent.Very very VERY poor level of service and never again. Really dont recommend any pre-ordering / planning a delivery by Magnolia to anyone. Completely unreliable and very disappointing. The lady picking up the call (eventually....once in 10 calls) has no experience on any servicing protocols.Only try if it is a quick coffee and a dessert at the shop itself.

If Magnolia, Abu Dhabi can’t handle home deliveries, please don’t do it. I ordered pudding at 3.35 pm today and still waiting to get my order at 7pm. 3 hours and 25 minutes but it seems it will take another 30 minutes. Good quality food but delivery is awful.

Nobody does sweets as Magnolia does.The carrot cake is probably the best I’ve ever eaten, the cupcakes are prefect in sugar and size; the banana pudding... I don’t even need to tell you... it’s a MUST, and the place is bit small yet friendly and cozy, perfect for catching up with your bestie over a cuppa and a mouth-watering sweet!

Review №24

Absolutely fabulous. Everything about Magnolia Bakery from head-to-toe (or should I say, from banana-pudding-to-cupcakes? LOL!) is fabulous.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)This sweet shop is the most fabulous café I have ever been to. Banana Pudding has become my comfort, and let me tell you baes, you will NOT regret going at all.(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)In fact, I think it might be dangerous to go, because once you step foot in this café once, you wont stop coming!( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)Just saying, Im in love, and you will be too.( ♥ ͜ʖ ♥)

Here at galleria mall branch, i entered the cafe at 9:07 pm to dine in, the waitress welcomed me with “only takeaway sir” while there were many people in. Dont really understand who stops taking orders at 9:07 pm on a friday? You lost a customer my friends.

Cakes are really delicious, fresh and portions are enough to fill up.Prices are also affordable. Seating area is not that great, I would have preferred more of a closed and cozy area. However, its not that bad.Overall, a great place to enjoy your desert!.

Review №36

The Old Galleria is a terrible location for Magnolia Bakery. The staff is rude and provide terrible service. They only bake what they feel like and when they feel like, even if you order in advance they don’t deliver on time. Just a horrible bakery and staff!!! I will be contacting their management office.

Review №37

Delicious cakes and very friendly staff.But unfortunately most of cakes are in small size. I wanted a birthday cake that day, and staff helped me with the idea of having multiple cakes sitting on the stand, next to each other, instead of 1 big cake..

Review №38

I would first like to recommend their cupcakes, specifically the red velvet one. The cream cheese butter cream frosting was to die for. It truly forces you to take your time and enjoy bit for bit. I’m not the biggest red velvet lover, but it just tasted so divine and unique to my buds. Heavy? A little, but it’s just worth it, unexplainably so. Second, the staff have repeatedly been nothing, but nice and respectful. I feel as though I’m being treated as a customer and more. It’s a very chill and breezy conversation, not too formal and monotone. They know their way around treating customers, especially the cashier, a very nice gentleman. They never keep you waiting, and if they do, it’s probably because you’re late, with that type of cuisine, I’d be surprised to see them left with one cupcake. Did I exaggerate this review, yes and no. I just had what felt like the best and yummiest cupcake, and it really took four months away from the bakery to realize, man they probably deserve that 5 star.

The banana pudding at this branch is horrible compared to the New York branch. The real banana pudding should have both bananas and pudding. At this branch, all you get is a bowl of cream

Review №58

I used to get my fav banana pudding from the Dubai branch. Now, I often get it from Galleria. Yesterday, I decided to try the salted caramel banana pudding for take away. For the first time, they took the pre-packed banana pudding from the fridge (as shown in the picture) without scooping it like the usual. When I opened it, it only had the custard with no pieces of bananas or cakes or cookies, basically no chunk pieces in the tub. I felt cheated. I used to finish the banana pudding right after purchased. Today, I literally cut and added my own bananas in the tub that I bought yesterday. Im so disappointed!

Il
Review №59

Everything looks good, but over 99% breads, cookies, cakes and ice creams are made up of 20000% of sugar, which may be able to make you feel sick of eating a few more pieces... But it is just my thinking so that you do not have to fully trust as a generalized review!

Review №63

Probably excellent service and great location, but the cakes were all dry. It wasnt moist enough. Felt like eating edible sawdust since they heavily rely on the frosting to deliver all the flavor. I wish it was a good balance of flavor between the cake and the frosting.Having been to their NY Branch, I was quite disappointed in the quality for the price we paid.

The best in town. I bet any one out there to compete them as surely no one can stand there taste and quality. Staff only is a problem there as they are to much busy. But O people let me have a honor to anonse Magnolia bakery the top in position for there sweet treats as there are taste bombs. At last a highly recommended place guys and girls so what are you waiting for go get yourself a treat and let others know that this place is a gem indeed.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This is mine and my friends FAVOURITE bakery in Abu Dhabi. Their cakes are so tasty and just the right consistency. Their banana pudding and their cake slices are a must try. Another favourite of mine is the magic cookie. Staff here are so friendly and always happy to help.I recommend for personalised cakes also!

Had two offers from Mangolia Bakery for two complementary banana puddings and when I went to redeem and had to wait for 10 minutes because they had to get an approval before giving them to me. Couldnt wait any longer and had to leave without taking them because it was really embarrassing and shameful. Please dont fall for their offers because I think they have serious communication gaps.

I visited the small branch. The waitress completely ignored us when we were the two only customers, then asked us to stand in line since . To top that off, the cashier lady was being extremely rude to the delivery guy and ordered us to stay in our table when there was no one so serve us.. No one even cared that we got out despite them noticing us. Never again!

My wife and I love this place for their banana pudding. But their customer service is garbage! They genuinely couldnt care less.We actually complained about how unaccommodating 1 of the staff was and threatened to leave, and they simply told us to go ahead, without even apologizing.Never coming back here.(Talking about the big branch in the extension, not the original store)

We order a medium size cake for a party, it was horrible, no taste , didn’t decorate it , just wrote on it and threw some sprinkles around the edges. Even the frosting was horrible, it taste like sugar water. Won’t order for our next party or meeting from here. Deserves no stars at all. This was in Dubai at Dubai mall , not sure if any other location is better.

Banana pudding. Thats all Ill say. Best in the market and you can never go wrong with a little pudding. The banana pudding is very rich and is simply perfect. 1 star off for okay coffee and cupcakes, but the pudding makes up for it.
