Magnol French Baking review

Incredibly tasty, very buttery and authentically French. Magnol Bakery is a true hole in the wall spot. This spot is located within a discrete and rather industrial part of town. You'll be sure to miss it if speeding past the area. I did not even know this bakery existed until a good friend brought up within a conversation. TY for sharing a piece of mini France in Houston, otherwise I would have never known about this place! It's best to arrive early, as baked goods run out quick. To my surprise, many items were disappearing from shelves around 8:45 a.m. Should I have visited even earlier in the morning? Most likely. This place is packed and quite popular.. basically if you're within the know, so you'll know. The pain aux raisins (flaky puffed pastry rolled with raisins and vanilla crème) was an absolute delight.. great crisp and texture. The madeleines (shell shaped butter cakes) were quite nice as well. Their cozy and warm tea lattes as well as coffee was quite fragrant and paired well with the baked treats. This spot isn't too big from the inside so the line was literally wrapped within the interior of the cafe. The interior is light and airy, as opposed to the outside of the building. Tucked within one small shelf.. they have a few food products for purchase that are imported from France.. (ie; fruit jam, honey, etc.) I would love to revisit again.. (even earlier in the morning) and try their various croissants, linzer cookie and cute little cakes. They have a few other caffeinated drink options as well to warm up your day. No better moments than visiting during winter or spring season! Thanks Magnol for brightening up my morning.. i'll be sure to visit again. Until we meet again - Au Revoir!
