Open since 1996, Magnolia Bakery started on a quiet street corner in the heart of New York City’s West Village. Today, Magnolia Bakery can be found in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Mexico City, Tokyo, Moscow City, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Kuwait City, and Doha. I was even lucky enough to try the bakery’s famous Banana Pudding last week when I was in town for the Summer Fancy Food Show, and I must say, it was definitely worth visiting for!
Located in New York City’s Upper West Side, Levain is a cozy neighborhood bakery where you can see both loyal locals and tourists from all over. From its rustic breads to what it calls its World-Famous 6 oz Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, everything is baked on-site and fresh daily. And even better, what the bakery doesn’t sell that day goes to help feed the hungry.
