Magnol French Baking

Consistently delicious pastries and bread. I recommend coming early at opening time to get their fresh chocolate croissants instead of later in the day. They are crispier on the outside 2 ends with a more pronounced delicate and buttery interior. Combined with the aroma of the chocolate batons inside, the flavor is exceptional. Their Campagne bread tastes amazing. The exterior crust is exceptionally crispy with a deeply toasty and nutty aroma. The interior crumb is perfectly moist, with a very soft textured interior that has a complex earthy flavor with just the smallest amount of acidity that pairs well with butter.

The bread is very good, the coffee isn't bad. We ate there for breakfast, but what we ordered was cold; it would have been much better if it were hot or warm. They don't offer that option, and there's no bathroom in the establishment either.

I’m European and have lived in the US nearly 10 years. The bread and pastries are the best I’ve had outside of Europe. Absolutely wonderful. The lemon tart is to die for. I was skeptical of the chocolate almond croissant as I’m not a big fan of almond paste but I got it because everyone praised it. The almond flavor is not overpowering at all. Very nice, will definitely get it again. I got there as they opened on a Saturday morning and there was a line out the door at 8.01 am. But 20 minutes later I had a big bag of food.

I’m so happy I found this bakery. Everything was absolutely amazing. We ordered a variety of thing such as artisanal breads, croissants, pastries, and coffee. Everything was super delicious. The service was very friendly. The only negative was that they had the music so loud inside that it was impossible to communicate with the cashier other than pointing at stuff. I have no clue why they would keep the music so loud that it’s impossible to communicate with customers. Anyway, we’re definitely going again.

Best bakery in Houston!! I am so glad I found Magnol, everything is fresh, delicious, the best quality ingredients, and always a pleasure to go and interact with their lovely staff. I am very picky about the bread my family eats and now we only eat the sour dough loaf from Magnol, worth every dollar. Also their chocolate croissants are heaven! I also love that I know when I buy there I am supporting a local owned small business. The owner Krissy is welcoming and friendly. Sometimes on a weekend you might have to line up, but don’t let that deter you because it’s always worth the wait ❤️

Magnol French Bakery is one of those places that never disappoints. Everything there is delicious — truly. My all-time favorites are the chocolate croissants (they’re dangerously good), but they have so many other beautiful options to choose from. This time I tried the almond pastry and the lemon tart, and both were absolutely amazing. Perfect texture, balanced sweetness, and that authentic French bakery feel in every bite.

Very nice bakery with gorgeous pastries. The gentleman working the counter was telling my girlfriend and I that the baker there is a French trained baker with lots of experience. We tried an almond croissant and chocolate chip cookie which were excellent, along with banana bread, which was exactly as I like it.

This place is really good. We got the Paris brest, the pistachio eclair, the canele, the chocolate almond croissant, the passionfruit cheesecake, and the Mille-feuille. Everything was good but the eclair, Mille-feuille, and croissant is what we’d get again. We wanted a chocolate cookie but there was a delay between when I got there and when the next batch would be ready. The only gripe I had was there wasn’t a label on all of the items offered so I was picking blind a bit Came back to try the coffee eclair and the passionfruit mango eclair, both of which were good. The lemon meringue tart was even better The pear caramel danish was just fine. The banana Nutella danish was great. The chocolate chip cookie is fine The cinnamon roll is really good - light but flavorful. The raspberry vanilla cruffin is decent but I wouldn’t get again. The strawberry almond chocolate croissant wasn’t great for me - too much going on for flavor. I’d opt for strawberry almond next time The blueberry financier was ok and the chocolate hazelnut croissant wasn’t great The flan was good as was the apricot danish. I wasn’t a fan of the palmier
