The desserts here are delicious! I will definitely go back to try their bread. The staff were friendly and organized. The interior was small but nice!

One of the best bakeries in Houston! 10/10 I bought some pastries but I should have bought some more! My favorites were the peach Danish (seasonal) and the twice baked almond croissant. The croissant didn't have too much almond paste which balanced nicely with the croissant. The peach Danish was simply divine. Everything else I bought was great also. Prices are a bit expensive but the quality of the pastries is worth it. Very few seating inside and some outside but most people get the pastries to take home. I came an hour after opening on Saturday and there was a 10-15 min line inside the store but the staff gets you moving in and out. Plenty of parking in the plaza even though it was busy. I need to come back!!

Disclaimer: There's little to no seating. This is not necessarily a place to sit down and study for hours or be for a long time. MAN it was busy for a Saturday morning. The door wasn't even open yet and there was a line out the door. But after trying their desserts, I absolutely get why. I have to spend more than $25 when I'm here as everything looks/tastes delicious! It is true to the name-it is a French bakery, and a good one at that. They have all types of French desserts and they are all so appealing. It is a bit expensive to your average joe, but I believe it is reasonable to the quality you are getting. GO EARLY-they run out quick because it has become a hot spot for Houstonians and visitors alike! The location of the building is really interesting as it's right in the heart of an industrial area. Coming again soon!

Best bakery in Houston. 10/10. The line out the door, even just two minutes after open proves the point. Amazing offerings here. The quality of each pastry item, is close to, if not exactly, perfection. There's not much of a dining room and I wouldn't expect high quality coffee here. But the pastry's are what you should go for.

My wife and I are regular customers for Magnol and this place is probably the best bakery in Houston (if you know you know). Absolutely loved the sugar brioche and the croissants. The almond croissant always gets sold out in the morning especially during the weekends so plan to come in early for them. We tried the flan and walnut cranberry bread and they were both delicious. There is usually a long line but there are staffs to help out w the checking and they are always very courteous. There is couple tables and inside and outside but I'd say its best if you take out because there isn't much room to eat inside. If you are in Houston, try this place!!

We had a fantastic visit to Magnol. There was a line outside the door, but it moved very quickly. The weight staff was very friendly and very efficient. We got croissants, an eclair, and some kind of chocolate and cream pastry. All of them were fantastic. We also got an iced Americana and a Cortada. The coffee was fantastic. I wouldn't say to come to Houston for this bakery, but if you're in Houston then you should come to this bakery.

Great bakery with nice French desserts. Downside is the line on the weekends. They have a few indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are on the higher end for pastries, but I also know that it takes a lot of work to make. I love the lemon meringue tart and the cranberry orange breads was delicious. Even though it wasn't a sour dough, it still had a lot of flavor. If it's the weekend and there is a long line, then I recommend just going to Simply Coffie and to get the best latte in Texas while getting a lemon merengue tart - the pastries that they sell there are from Magnol!

Magnol is one of the best kept secrets but is slowly becoming more popular. It's located where you would least expect an authentic French bakery to be located. This place is always packed on weekends so be prepared to wait in line. I'd also recommend going right when they open because they sell out of their most popular items quickly, sometimes within the first hour. I recently learned that you can actually preorder online to save you time and also guarantee the items you want. I've been here about 4 times since writing the review and I'm a huge fan of all the pastries I've ordered so far. My 2 favorites are the chocolate almond croissant and the pain au chocolait, the former usually sells out first. Their plain butter croissants are also delicious. They have mini versions but not regularly. The pastries are flaky, buttery, and soft. They also sell gourmet desserts. I've tried the chocolate eclair which was delicious and not too sweet. Everything is made in house and you can see them being made next door. Happy to have found this place and would probably rank it as one of the top bakeries in Houston.

Prepare to wait on weekends, may be sold out of favorites. Well worth the wait. After having lived in France for 3 years (we go back every other year or so), I can confidently say these are the best available croissants in H-Town. Counter service is fast, they make great coffee - the secret is out. And yes, they're outside the Loop!! Rumor is they're planning another location. I challenge anyone to find better croissants in town. Please don't say Common Bond!
