The newly opened Omotesando branch of New York’s Magnolia Bakery sells fresh cupcakes topped with a generous dollop of sweet buttercream frosting — a welcome reward after the long, long lines. The mini key lime cheesecake (?880), baked with a graham cracker crust, and the chain’s popular banana pudding (?680 for 10 oz [285 g] and ?880 for 13 oz [370 g]) are worth a try too. “What our employees don’t know is that they’ll end up gaining 10 pounds,” jokes owner Steven Abrams.
