Veniero's Pasticceria & Caffe

Everything in this place is simply WOW! 🤩 It's a challenge to know what to choose, because everything looks so yummy, both desserts and drinks. I had not seen that a place had coffee with alcohol and here you can find it, inspired by different countries. But the real gem is their desserts, which you won't know which one to try. This time we chose a cheesecake with chocolate and a cake (I don't remember the name), both delicious! Everyone there was very friendly. And the place makes the experience charming, because it's as if you entered a time machine. If you come to NY, you should definitely stop by! ❤

Hadn't been here to sit in cafe in a long time am happy to report this legendary spot is still wonderful and refreshingly looks the same! I love that! Desserts were all delicious and fresh. Was my birthday last night and waiter sang to me, very sweet! Worth waiting on line that moved quickly. Ricotta cheesecake is my fav.

I recently started watching 'The Sopranos' and this naturally sent me in search of an Italian bakery. I've been to a couple since I moved here and hadn't encountered anything mind blowing up until now. I first tried Veniero's tiramisu cake which was great don't get me wrong but I knew this place had better things in store so I returned for a classic cannoli and cream horn and consider that one of the finest decisions of my lifetime. People. The best of both of those things I've ever had. Both were perfectly textured, not stale in the slightest and the FLAVORS my GOD. The vanilla cannoli filling has a depth from citrus and spices and the cream horn was light and beautiful-both were so remarkable it was as if they had been sculpted by angels and gifted to us mortals by the gods. Honestly I'm not sure we deserve this place but my god am I glad that we have it. Go there. Get things. Let them make sense of this knot of a world. Oh yes, also the interior is beautiful and the line moves quickly and the staff are all very nice.

We ordered one mini cannoli vanilla flavored, one mini eclair, and one mini Napoleon. They were all great! Just what you need without going overboard. I don't really like cannolis but this one was good. I love eclair's and this one was good. I really love Napoleon's and this one was a little different from normal one. They have a sponge cake as one of or two of the layers. And it was soaked in liquor. Not bad but I would like to try to have one of their big ones if it's more like a classic ones. I'll have to check it out before I buy it. The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere is really cool and old school a lot like an old bakery I used to go to in New Jersey in the 80s.

Best cheesecake in the world and well worth a visit!
We came over from the UK and were desperate to try New York cheesecake once before we leave - this has been so worth it!
We met up with American family members and they agreed.
Such a great little gem, full of character and very friendly staff and the most amazing coffee (try the one with kaluah and baileys) and cheesecake 😊😘

Was looking for the best New York cheesecake and am pleased to say I found it at Veniero’s! (Thanks for recommendation Reddit)

My takeaway slice melted in my mouth, was perfectly balanced (not too sweet) and had a lovely soft and fluffy consistency. Way better than Junior’s. This is proper cheesecake.

Hope I can visit sometime again soon! 🇦🇺

An old school Italian pastry shop with a huge variety of delicius cakes and desserts. Came for the tartufo, was not disappointed. Great for takeouts too, just need to order ahead around popular holiday celebrations.

Simply the best bakery and cafe in the city! Robert is a gracious host and his pride in ownership is apparent the minute you set eyes upon the beautiful storefront! The best cannoli and cappuccino you can get! I send everyone I know heading to NY there! Keep Rocking Robert!!

I'm usually not a dessert person, but now I'm a Veniero person. Veniero's Pasticceria is a gem! Their pastries are divine, with an array of flavors and textures that satisfy every sweet tooth. The charming ambiance and friendly staff make it a must-visit in NYC. A dessert lover's paradise! Going here after Sunday dinner on a rainy evening was a true NYC movie-ish vibe.

My coffee afogato was amazing 🥰 also my friend got a coffee samboca which was good. Mini canolis were so good as well.
I will go back to try strawberry short cake!

130 year baking legacy! We had cannoli, cheesecake and a Bavarian creme and they all checked the mark for ‘amazing ‘ while there was a pretty big line at around 3.30 pm, service was very fast / you get in line, take a number and go to the counter that calls you - while there are a zillion choices - Do not miss their cannoli!

This place has so many pastries cakes, and sherbet Ice cream. The mini pastries and nice bites sized and you can order a few of them to try different ones. They even have full size cakes and they can cater to parties.

It was a beautiful bakery. I got a slice the Italian Ricotta Cheesecake and a creamy dessert called the Anatella. They have so many baked goods to choose fromthat it was almost overwhelming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go again.

What’s not to love about Veniero’s? It’s one of the best Italian bakeries in NYC. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl and I am never disappointed. My favorite cake is the chocolate strawberry and banana shortcake. The New York cheesecake is also amazing! So are the cookies, tarts and I can’t forget my absolute favorite item on the menu,the best freaking canollis I’ve ever had in my life! My favorite is the chocolate filled ones. I have never ate a bad thing at Venieros.

Well it has been years since I made the journey back here. This location has the feeling of a real Italian coffee house. Let's admit though we are here for the pastries. Everything we ordered last week was fresh. From tarts to cake we had it Our waiter took our order but there was no rush. It was a bit hot inside but ok and the music ehhh all preference so overall just as I remembered amazing

Great place in little Italy to get Italian cookies. Stopped in and was pleased to see there was no wait. Got two different kind of cookies to try and both were excellent. Would recommend if you're looking for some sweet treats.

First time visiting this famous bakery. So delicious and awesome variety. We went little late and the guy who served us was so nice . He said it's very crowded all day long. It's amazing and tasty .they have a big fridge with all type of cakes,cookies,desserts and the best ones in my opinion cannolis . Just prepare your pocket or make sure to have a good budget to grab the best pastries. 👌

If you’re a dessert lover, this is the place to go! I went here for a post birthday celebration with a friend. The seating area was really quiet and low key when I first got there. By 8pm, the place started filling up but everyone seemed to be catching up with each other and having a good time.

We got our desserts really quickly after you order. When you first walk in, you get to see all the dessert on display. Honestly, it’s so difficult to choose.

What I ordered:
- Strawberry Cheesecake - delicious and my absolute favorite thing I ordered! I usually want a crust on my cheesecake but it’s not even needed here! 10/10 recommend if you like NY cheesecake
- Torta Di Mandorle - tried something new here and It was tasty. I was into the apricot flavor.

I will definitely visit again.
