Artisan French bakery with organic breads and pastries
"One of the only organic French bakeries in the city, Magnol offers all the breads and patisseries you’d expect from a Parisian boulangerie. While perfect for a quick stop-in for a latte and a chocolate croissant, you’ll likely want to stock up on its freshly baked baguettes, campagne boule, and cranberry walnut bread. If you can’t decide which route to go with, treat yourself to a full experience with a sampler platter of bread and pastries, and be sure to keep an eye on its seasonal offerings, which feature a rotation of mille-feuille flavors. Pro tip: Weekends are the only time you can score its twice-baked chocolate almond croissant and pain au raisin." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Skip the airfare to Paris and step into this French-inspired bakery in Spring Branch. Founder Otto Sanchez’s skills have gained recognition and respect, landing Magnol’s crusty bread and baked goods found in restaurants across Houston, including Bludorn and Le Jardinier. Choosing what to order is the most challenging part at Magnol—so order a cappuccino and savor the thought of madeleines, eclairs, and croissants (or indulge in them all)." - Brianna Griff
"Don’t let its lackluster exterior in a commercial business park fool you — Magnol French Baking is the real deal when it comes to flaky, buttery sweet treats. In addition to glass cases filled with neatly lined eclairs and lemon meringue tarts, find organic breads like the rye and semolina boule or the kalamata olive loaf. Pair a madeleine or slice of opera cake with a cappuccino or chai latte before taking something decadent to go." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Magnol is best known for its French desserts and often has lines out the door for boxes of fluffy croissants. Every row of this Spring Branch bakery is filled with fresh baguettes, creme-filled chocolate eclairs, and refreshing lime meringue tarts. Have your flaky hazelnut croissant in the bake shop and brush up on your French grammar with one of the textbooks inside. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
