Whether you and your friends are ripping a bong or hitting the fattest blunt of your life, as I am currently about to do, Magnolia will treat you right. I typically don't go for oversized pieces of cornbread dowsed in sugar, but when the grass beckons, it beckons hard. First things first, the worst part about Magnolia has nothing to do with its cupcakes. Oh no, my friends -- it's the customers. That one couple from Oklahoma who gleefully watches batch after batch of diabetes being placed on the filthy window sill will irritate you during your hour wait. For example, I just went tonight and watched two pedophiles engage themselves in me and my friend's conversation, enter Magnolia, swipe about 75 cupcakes, and then lick their fingers dry. Mmmm. Once you're inside, it only gets better. At the window, you get to choose from about three cupcakes because it would obviously make too much sense for the lackadaisical employees to actually enforce the limit rule. Or for them to keep a continuous flow of cupcakes coming. It's not like they are short on five-day old batches. I'll end my rant by saying one good thing about this hellish, overglamourized establishment. When you have that carving late at night and every other legitimate bakery is closed (Amy's Bread, Buttercup Bakeshop, or hell, even Gristedes), Magnolia will be open late so you can spend $2 on a cupcake and then $20 more on the gram you now have to smoke to consume it.
Pros: Good for munchies and laughing at tourists
Cons: Everything
