Dining at Magnolia Market
Along with shopping for home goods and apparel, Magnolia Market also has plenty of dining options.
Here are our favorites.
Silos Baking Co.
The Silos Baking Co. is actually located just next door to the market and still most people almost never it.
The reason is almost a block-long waiting line that completely obscures the door to the bakery!
The Silos bakery is popular for good reason – the goods here are delicious and those with a sweet tooth rave about this place!
They serve fresh-baked cupcakes, pastries, cookies, scones, and other treats.
Their cinnamon rolls are delicious and best when eaten fresh.
Look for a small sign that says “Silos Baking Co.” near the Front Door of Magnolia and get in line to enjoy your baked goods!
Tip: The lines are the worst especially around late afternoon on the weekend. Skip the line at the bakery and instead get your cupcake at the airstream trailer inside Magnolia Market! (see below)

There are several different food trucks inside the market.
The Cheddar Box food truck serves up a variety of grilled cheese combinations from the classic grilled cheese sandwich to toppings like guac, pork, and salsa, perfect for satisfying your hunger.
