    The concept is really cool and all the pastries are beautiful, but I didn't feel that anything stood out as something I'd come back for. Out of all the ones we tried I liked the cloud best. It was a chocolate hazelnut combo that worked really well. Everything else was fine, and it's on the pricey side.

    yuzu

    A very quaint dessert cafe. Lots of options, but I've been wanting to try these fruit trompe l'oeil's for a while. The service was fast and super kind. There isn't that much seating, but it worked out for my group. We got the mango and the yuzu. The mango was devine, and the yuzu was just okay. Even though I thought the yuzu was mid, the mango + service was heavenly enough for 5 stars.

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with friends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    Cloud and yuzu
    Afnan T.

    This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time. Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

    Truffle suisse
    Haley H.

    Why had I not heard of this place before!?? Stumbled upon it in Manhattan and was blown away by the delicious, crispy and flavorful croissants. Pricey like any other pastry shop in NYC Best bite: truffle suisse croissant Runner up: garlic butter croissant Wouldn't get again: coconut bun Service was quick. A bite that they don't have coffee, only espresso. About 10 two-top tables inside

    This place has some really gorgeous and creative desserts! We enjoyed the mango mousse (beautiful with a hard exterior you crack into) and the yuzu dessert. I wasn't a huge fan of the strawberry shortcake only bc of the strawberry jelly inside but my husband enjoyed it. Definitely want to return to try some of the others!

    Salswee has one of the best takes on these fruit-shaped desserts I have tried. A lot of places are doing similar concepts now, but this is the one that really stands out. The execution is just better across the board. I have tried the mushroom, orange, mango, and banana, and the orange and mango were easily my favorites. The orange had this creamsicle-like filling that felt really nostalgic, and the mango was just straight mango done right. If you are looking for a unique sweet treat, this place is worth the trip. I have heard their savory options are great too, so that is next on my list.

    The yuzu
    Anne F.

    The offerings here at Salswee are such a delight! These French style treats called tompe-l'œil ("deceive the eye" in English), are not only a marvel to see but also a pleasure to taste. After struggling for some time to pick my order (the selections looked all too good), I settled on getting the yuzu-flavored dessert. Crafted as a white flower perched on a meringue pouffe and a rice crispy base, the interior was soft, delicate, and sweet, with a nice sharp tang from the citrus coulis. I could have easily scarfed down another one of those. I also tried this item called "the cloud" made with chocolate mousse. It was wonderfully delicate as well, although I didn't like this as much, as I'm not a big fan of rich chocolate desserts. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my order, so much so that I'm already dreaming about what I would try here next. The pear dessert does look tempting!

    Desserts look phenomenal and so do the pastries and bakery items no doubt! Taste may be more like a 6-8/10 If you want amazing aesthetics and photo ops in your food, this is your place The desserts themselves are fine I'd rate them between 6-8/10. The mango is a solid 10. Banana orange and passion fruit all were 6-8 range. There are other similar dessert spots in the city so the line here becomes restrictive I did like the pistachio and strawberry croissants a lot as well. They're gigantic Coffees are on their Menu too There's never any place to sit inside unless you're willing to play hunger games and there's always a line on the weekend so everything put together I don't seek it out. If I want to gift people though I buy from here cos it looks amazing They often run out of the mango and orange and banana by mid day though so go early

    Blueberry

    Honestly, I was disappointed. I came here with my friend the first thing that sucked which isn't their fault is that they had limited flavors which I'm assuming it's because they sold out of them. However the flavors we did get we don't feel they were properly refrigerated as they were sweating .There were also cracks in the fruit we got. We did take pictures at angles in which you couldn't see the imperfections. Between me and my friend we were not fans of the flavors. We got blueberry, cloud, and I forgot the name of the flower one. I think it's possible our expectations and what these desserts are supposed to be are misaligned but generally we were just disappointed. As a dessert, I expected more sweetness and better presentation especially for the price. The shop itself is cute and clean and I think maybe other pastries would probably be better.

    The drinks are good but they should all consider offering hot tea and iced tea. I enjoyed the iced matcha latte I ordered, but was surprised that they don't have any non-sugar sweetener. They only offer brown sugar! I understand they're a cake store so they may assume all their patrons are okay with sugar, but offering non-sugar sweetener doesn't take much. Many people don't want to add additional sugar to their coffee and tea even when they enjoy a piece of cake.

    I didn't eat here yet, but bloody hell the food looks amazing here!!! I can't wait to try some of the pastries. The shop is beautiful too.

    Black sesame oatmeal cake
    Sylvia T.

    Super cute inside. Decent amount of seating. Honestly the cakes are not that expensive they're kind of small though. We got two of the black sesame oatmeal cakes. They were well packaged. Cake itself was good I really liked the sponge and the black sesame cream. The oatmeal inside added an interesting taste but I'm not sure I liked the texture addition. Tasted pretty cereally. The crunchies on top were good though!

    Does each pastry have a different price?

    Yes. Ranging from $3.50 and up. The fruit pastry's are more expensive with the banana one being the least it was $4.00 the last time I visited.

    Do they have anything gluten free to eat?

    I believe they do

    What time are there pastries running out mostly on?

    Frankly they don't cause they keep making them even at the late afternoon. At least most of them .

    Their pastries are delicious!!!! The service could be better on different days haha. I love…read moreeverything they have. You cannot go wrong with anything at all. Everything is so fresh and just so amazing. I wish they delivered out of state so i could still enjoy their desserts.

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
