A bit of New York in Hyderabad: Now, get a taste of iconic Magnolia Bakery's cupcakes, pies

Hyderabad: Magnolia Bakery, famous for its freshly-baked desserts, will open in Hyderabad on 14 October. You can now buy cupcakes, cakes, pies, cheesecake, icebox desserts, cookies, and the bakery's iconic banana pudding.

The bakery's original location on Bleecker Street in New York City's West Village opened in 1996. Since then, the brand's warm, friendly atmosphere, baked-from-scratch pastries, and artistically-designed cakes and cupcakes have been winning over customers.

Spago Foods introduced Magnolia Bakery to India in 2019, opening its first store in Bangalore.

Franchises have opened in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Amman, Doha, Manila, and Istanbul, with company-owned outlets in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Speaking on why they chose Hyderabad as their next destination, Zonu Reddy, partner at Spago Foods, Magnolia Bakery India Franchise, said, "When we initially started in Bangalore, we had a lot of questions from people in Hyderabad checking to see whether we could deliver to the city."

Nischay Jayeshankar, a partner at Spago Foods, added, "Opening Magnolia Bakery in Hyderabad was a brilliant idea. This further highlights the uniqueness of the city."

He said, "We anticipate a lot of support for Magnolia Bakery from the city's cosmopolitan clientele and its fervent fans of savory and sweet delicacies. We've collaborated extensively with our colleagues in New York to provide the same delicious treats to the Indian market that are available in the United States."

The bakery's decor is also noteworthy: a mural depicting famous landmarks, including New York's Statue of Liberty and yellow cabs, and Hyderabad's Char Minar and the massive Buddha statue, make a memorable statement.

Magnolia Bakery is bringing a little bit of New York to Hyderabad, and this piece of art made right in the shop symbolises that.

Guests can have a freshly-baked dessert at one of the 23 tables, watch the skilled cupcake and cake icers decorate cakes and cupcakes, and pose for photographs in front of the store's mural at their spacious 3,000 square foot location on Road Number 45 in the center of Hyderabad.
