| - I really REALLY wanted a cookie yesterday and was stoked to find this place on yelp. I work at UNLV, which is across the street from Bakery Magic. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, especially since the area around UNLV is a bit sketchy. Bakery Magic (tee hee, what a name!) is located right behind Nevada State Bank on the corner of Maryland and Flamingo and is totally unassuming on the outside. The shop is TINY; I mean, my office may be bigger than the whole shop. As soon as you open the door and take a step inside, you're basically in front of the cash register.
What greets you upon entering is an impressive array of cookies and other baked items crammed into glass display cases. Seriously, HOW do they fit so many items into such a small space? The interior isn't the most chic or trendy, but that's not why one visits a bakery. The focus is definitely on the goodies.
I chose a couple of nutter butter cookies (peanut butter sandwich cookies), an oatmeal raisin (crisp kind), a chocolate chip cookie, a huge M&M cookie, and a couple of butter cookies with a jammy filling. (I also like soft baked cookies, but they didn't have any.) With tax, total came to just over $9. Visa and Mastercard requires a minimum purchase of $6.
The bakery bills itself as a New York style Italian bakery and had black and white cookies to prove that statement.
Worth a look-see if you're in the neighbourhood. Dangerous if you work in the neighbourhood!
