Sweet Magnolias Bake Shop

Sweet Magnolias Bake Shop is an Omaha bakery known for indulgent pastries made by hand. The pastry case usually holds cinnamon rolls, caramel pecan rolls, sweet and savory scones, cardamom knots, almond frangipane buns and baked cake donuts, with cookie cakes, frosted brownies and cookies alongside them. Several items are vegan, and gluten-free brownies are offered.

Cakes and custom orders for parties and weddings can be placed ahead through the website. The Midtown shop on North 40th Street keeps shorter hours on Sundays, and a second location called Millwork has its own schedule. Some flavors rotate seasonally, and certain buns only appear on particular days of the week.
