Full disclosure: we haven't literally tried every pastry in the world. But after sampling the offerings at this sweet little bakery, we don't really have to. It doesn't matter what you choose; everything is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

From the moment you see that lively lilac door, you'll know you've stumbled upon a special place. Sweet Magnolias has been an Omaha favorite for many years.

It changed hands in 2016 and is now run by a young couple who take great pride in providing the city with the tastiest pastries ever.

The only moment of unhappiness you'll experience inside Sweet Magnolias is when you realize that you can't realistically eat one of everything right then.

Many people come for the incredible handmade donuts, which blow those factory-made things right out of the water.

The cinnamon rolls are another popular offering. You can't taste one of these without falling in love, seriously.

If you're looking for a unique treat, the cookie sandwiches will indulge your sweet tooth and then some. There are some notable creations on the menu, and they're always trying out new flavor combinations.

Tired of the same old toast and yogurt for breakfast? Stop in and pick up some homemade Pop-Tarts! They come in the flavors you've always wished for in the packaged kind, and they're fresh and oh so tasty.

And the cakes...oh goodness, the cakes. They're expertly crafted and decorated...

And so delicious that you'll wish it was socially acceptable to just plunge your face right into them.

The whole place has the kind of quirky personality that makes every treat taste even better. There's a good reason that people travel far out of their way to pay a visit to Sweet Magnolias: it's unlike any other bakery in Nebraska.
