      Really stumbled upon this place when we were waiting for our reservation next door at Lisa's Radial Cafe. Noticed a small crowd of people in line for this bakery and figured may as well join on in while we're here. Definitely worth stopping by and the wait!

      Key Lime Pie Bar - 5/5 Has the perfect amount of tart and sweetness

      Peanut Butter Crunch Bar - 5/5 - If you love peanut butter and chocolate then this one is a must!

      Poptart - 5/5 Their poptart is fantastic and tastes just like the real thing but without all the crap that comes with the prepackaged on the shelf stuff

      Thahini Butterscotch - 2.5/5 - this flavor was a little off for me and not sure I really loved the combination. Will need to pass on this next time

      Looking for a great bakery then come by Sweet Magnolias Bake Shop!

      Sweet Mag's makes an AMAZING chocolate chip cookie. For moments after my first bite I was transported to heaven. It was cooked to absolutely perfection and still warm when I ordered it. My husband ordered a lemon bar and was similarly blown away. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of the treats because I ate them too fast. The staff was also super friendly. I unfortunately don't live in Omaha and was just there for a quick visit but if I'm ever back you can count on me to visit Sweet Mag's again!

      Small but awesome bakery. Everything tasted great. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We bought cinnamon rolls, brownies, and bars. I would gain 30 pounds if I lived nearby. The hours are somewhat limited and there is not a lot of parking close by.

      This location is smaller than the Millwork one, but still has a lot of goods. It's located right next to Lisa's Radial Cafe and Amateur Coffee which is really convenient. There is lots of street parking and a small parking lot across the street. The employee who helped us pick our items was very friendly. I went mostly for the cardamom twist which they only offer on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and it was soooo good. It's my favorite thing from their shop. I look forward to when I can get it again!

      Stopping in for some goodies from Sweet Magnolias - Midtown.

      OK, I'm hooked!

      Having attended the North downtown arts fair over Labor Day, I enjoyed the Sweet Magnolia shop at Millwork and have been back twice already this past week! Went over there on Sunday and did not realize that they were not open - yikes. Checking the hours I found out that their midtown location is open on Sundays, and we quickly drove over there to get our cookie fix!

      Located just south of Cumming Street, it is next-door to Lisa's Radial Cafe. Sunday mornings street parking can be a little tight with restaurant brunch and neighborhood church traffic so plan accordingly.

      The shop is small, but has plenty of room for a wonderful selection of goodies. Voted the best of Omaha for a number of years in a row and I now know why. This is a must stop for anyone looking for a different type of treat that is a little more on the healthier side.

      Like most bakeries, they start early and close early and can sell out, so check hours and if you're really looking for something special get there early!

      This is a must stop along with their Millwork location. Check hours to ensure that you understand what days of the week they're open. The shop is focused on having space for goodies so this is a take away location only.

      Stopped in because I had heard that this little place was good.

      As I sit at the cafe beside it. (Because they didn't have coffee) Box on the table-

      I'm thinking about the experience I had -
      I walked in the door no one acknowledged or even looked up at me. Look around. Mind you this place is tiny so it's not like you don't know I'm there ...

      One of the 3 girls that had just got off of her phone comes over. Doesn't say anything just stands there -

      I ask what the scones are and as she speed races through it....
      I ask her to repeat a few- and ask for a couple bars as well.

      Pay-
      Get that look like I should tip her. $20 because she gave me the best service of my life. Not!

      I haven't tried there stuff. Given that lack of service and graciousness
      I think I might just give this &30 box of stuff to the homeless man

      Another stop on my Omaha tour for my parents and as always, didn't disappoint. The honey lavender cookie with lavender frosting was the group favorite, but we also really enjoyed the oatmeal cookie sandwich and cinnamon sugar donut. Key lime pie bar was a little too sour for us, but everything else was delicious! Bakers immediately greeted us and were very patient while we deliberated what to order

      We ordered a birthday cake, it was dry and frosting tasted like butter only.
      Service was unfriendly. Very disappointed based on such great reviews

      Sweet mags is a classic Omaha bake shop that never disappoints. They have a variety of baked goods and every one that I've tried has not disappointed. The oatmeal cream pies are my absolute favorite. The cookies are perfectly baked and the cream is mouthwatering! The cheese cake bar and the cinnamon roll was also delicious.

      It's a small bakery with no seating really but is a convenient spot to pick up orders to go. I know that even if my favorites are sold out here, I'll be able to find something delicious. I'll continue to return never time my sweet tooth acts up!
