Their pastries are delicious!!!! The service could be better on different days haha. I love everything 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. read more

This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years since 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. read more

I brought my family who were visiting from out of town to Veniero's for dessert after dinner. We ordered our desserts at the counter and were told we could sit inside the cafe, which was much appreciated given it was a hot day. However, when we approached the seating area, we were informed by an employee that customers who order at the counter were not allowed to sit inside and would need to sit outside in the heat instead. This was really awkward, and the cashier had to come over and argue with the employee managing the seating area. Note that this was on a Thursday at noon when the cafe was almost entirely empty. We ultimately got a table, but the experience was very uncomfortable, uninviting, and soured our evening. And at one point the employee managing the seating area came to our table to tell us that people who order at the counter need to sit outside. This was an incredibly embarrassing experience for me as the host. The entire time, the employee managing the seating area was staring at us, and we didn't order any drinks (even though we typically would have) in case they would spit in our drinks or something. What should have been a pleasant dessert stop with family turned into an embarrassing and rude experience. This was an incredibly humiliating experience and I will not be bringing guests here again. read more

I had a delivery order from this classic 125 year old Italian bakery. The cannolis were excellent...crispy shell, delicious generous filling, the ends dipped in pistachios. The Neapolitan biscotti's were a little different than plain ones but also very tasty. Packed in typical pastry boxes. Fast delivery. Highly recommended...especially for the terrific cannolis. read more

They ha lot of desserts available and surrounded by old world charm they have earned for years! It's good for stopping by to have some coffee or hot chocolate some with alcohol in it and an array of Italian desserts. My favorite is aluminum. It has pistachio layer and the center with cherries and and a cream frosting outside. The size is also just enough for me. They also have my favorite Pinole nuts. Two things I love in this place. It is also across the bus stop on First Avenue. Or half a block down from Second Avenue if coming from the north. read more

Cannolis are amazing. Crispy on the outside and the filling is not too sweet. Friends got affogato and the colorful ice cream item and both enjoyed. The service is fast, there's a decent amount of space to sit in the back and there are endless cake, cookie and other dessert options to choose from. It's a must go when in the area and looking for dessert! Decent amount of space to sit and the interior is old school but cozy. Highly recommend read more

This is one of my favorite pastry & coffee shops in the city. I like the strawberry shortcake, apple pie, and chocolate covered strawberries. It's the perfect place for a nice coffee date. They keep the original vintage vibe alive, and you can feel the incredible history here, dating back over a hundred years. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are very authentic. read more

Came to Veniero's on a weekend night for dessert with a couple of friends. The line (for both seated tables and to-go orders) was out the door but it moved suprisingly quickly. The wait staff were very quick with ordering which allowed tables to turn over but there was never any pressure to finish quickly. We enjoyed our meals in the dining room in the back which has a nice old-school Italian vibe. - New York Cheesecake (4.5/5) - The classic cheesecake was definitely our favorite - Cookies and Cheese Cheesecake (3.5/5) - dry, wouldn't repeat - Tiramisu Cake (4/5) - Good, but would probably try actual tiramisu next time - Rainbow Cake (4/5) - not bad if you like rainbow cookies, but slightly dry Have been to Veniero's many times and there's truly something for everyone! Most times it's hard to narrow down what you want. read more

I like the old style nature of Venieros. You can come in and they have a number of great desserts competing for your interest. From mini cheesecakes, tiramisus to cookies it's a vast array. You can dine in or take it to go. I ordered the mini cheesecake with berries. Service was quick and the staff pleasant. Venieros is open fairly late so your craving has time to be satisfied. read more

The pastries, the aromas, the feeling of Europe as you pass by - put it all together and enjoy.

Very busy cafe. Service to be seated and then to get the check was not good. Once when you order it's very quick to get the food. And I didn't have to wait long to order. Ambiance was pretty. The chocolate covered cannoli was yummy and I liked it a lot. The mint tea was good nothing too exciting. My server was very nice and good. The other people were not great. read more

Veniero's is a big bakery with a huge dessert selection tucked away in the East Village. I came to try their viral coconut cake and was not disappointed. I don't know what they put it in it but it was addictive! The cake was so moist, the icing wasn't too sweet, and the coconut flakes added to the texture. It was the best coconut cake I've ever had. I am also keen to go back to try their other sweets. You can order things to take to go, or wait to be seated and dine in. read more

Veniero's - Lobster Tail - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

The service is great the staff are very friendly. The ambiance is also very merry especially during Christmas season. Now onto the food. I tried six of their cakes, lobster tails, and cannolis. The cheesecake was the best but made my stomach feel weird afterwards. I would recommend to skip the cakes and lobster tails and go straight to the chocolate or regular cannoli. Make sure to eat it fresh! I also ordered a cannoli package from them through Goldbelly to deliver to my friend for Christmas. While I thought it was delicious in New York, it was not very tasty according to her after traveling across the country. The shipping was $35 so I did feel disappointed it wasn't as good as I had it in person! read more

I went to this place expecting a lot more from the reviews and how long they've been in business spent about $60 on treats we got the Sicilian cheesecake. It was good. The other cake was very OK. There was very little chocolate in it and then to the cannolis, I bought a lot of small cannolis a couple big cannolis the small ones were stale And very disappointing that I had checked all that way from Newark to pick them up and an hour later eating them so it was not that I waited too long to eat them. They were stale and I don't know if it's because it was a weekend and maybe they didn't have the turnover they thought but again completely disappointing. This was overall not a great experience I would not recommend this. There are much better places for cannolis anywhere in the city I think I only gave it stars because the gentleman that helped me was very nice read more

Nice bakery offering a wide variety of Italian desserts, lots of seating, and is open late!! The tiramisu was solid and Black Forest cake slice was soft and moist with the cream not too heavy. Tiramisu was really nice and thick / creamy! There is a bit of tanginess in the Black Forest cake from the cherries, probably from preserved cherries used? Have to go back again to try the cannoli!! read more

Food Portions are a lot smaller than before. The sliced coconut cake is still number one for me. But the portion was a quarter of what it use to be.

Cute shop, obviously a favorite among folks, especially since it's been around for so long. I tried the rainbow cookie and wasn't a huge fan. Tried the cheesecake and I thought it was a bit grainy, the strawberry shortcake was good, nice and airy- reminds me of the Asian bakery cakes. read more

The Mr. and I were recently nearby, so took advantage of the opportunity to visit. We weren't the only ones who had the same idea. The line was out the door for 'to go' service, so we opted to be seated. There were so many options to choose from we got a little carried away and ordered 2 cannolis, a piece of Italian cheesecake, 2 lobster tails (one chocolate and one vanilla), a sfogliatella, a latte, and a Diet Coke. Of course we ended up bringing several of the treats back to our hotel room, but what we ate, we enjoyed. The Mr. was pleased with the Italian cheesecake and I loved the citrus cream folded within the flakey pastry of the sfogliatella. The cannoli was a bit of a miss, but that's because we've been spoiled with some filled to order cannoli in the past. I love a historic restaurant and Veeniero's Pasticceria Caffe met all my expectations! I will happily return the next time I am in NYC. read more

Still one of the go-to place for Jersey folks on their way back home AND locals in need of an Italian Pastry Fix. Pastries and cakes are still awesome, but less of a value than in the past. Long lines, but service is still good depending on your server. I still go here, just don't eat so much so the bill is reasonable. read more

Super traditional Italian bakery. Friendly service and clearly staffed with folks who have seen their fair share of pastry lovers. Casual and easy to order, came on a weekday afternoon and there was no line. Everything I got was good, but the obvious winner had to be the rainbow cookies, which were not too sweet and indulgent without being too decadent. Great to bring home as a sweet treat or in high volumes to a party! read more

A famous Italian bakery with TONs of options - cakes, italian butter cookies, pastries, gelato, everything you ever wanted from an Italian sweet spot. There is dine in and to go. If to go, make sure to take a number when entering, this is not super intuitive and the process could be made much better. there is a a number sign on the wall that signals where in line they are. Tried their ricotta cheesecake and chocolate lobster tail. SO GOOD. I will definitely be back and try other pastries. It was ~$7 for a 1in slice, and ~$7 for their lobster tail. Definitely not cheap but it made me happy! read more

Venieros is a really great place for some Italian desserts. It is authentic and the pastries taste delicious! The pastries have a rich and authentic taste to it. It's also not too expensive. They go by the pound, and you can try a variety of different pastries. The fruit tart, eclair, and cannoli came out to be $2 each, while the cheese cake was $6. The cheese cake and pastries tasted really good. Overall, the pastries were really authentic tasting and not artificial. It isn't too crowded and it was a short 5-10 minute wait to get the pastries. The cashiers and workers were polite and fast. Overall, would recommend this place. It has an old school touch, vintage, cozy, and homey vibe to it. Price: $12.75 $6 cheesecake + $2 each for pastries Rating: 9/10 read more

Looking for a pastry for mom, or late to a housewarming and need a gift, this is the perfect quick stop. Although there is a dine-in area in the back, just the front of the store brings retro, delicious flavors that perfectly represent the 100+ year history Veniero's brings to the East Village. From Cannoli's to delectable chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes, Veniero's has what you need to quench your sweet tooth. read more

It's been about 9 years since my last review, so let's do an update. I have always gotten my Veniero's to go, but this time we decide to sit down for dessert, since we were looking to hang out for longer. My husband had their tiramisu cake, which was really nice. My rainbow cake though, was the driest, stiffest cake that I've ever had. I'm a huge rainbow cookie fan, so this was extremely disappointing. I think I'll just get a regular cake next time or just a handful of rainbow cookies. We grabbed an apricot tart and some pignoli's to go and those were absolutely fantastic. read more

Worth the wait to dine in their cafe or take some of their pastries to go! Came here with a friend on Saturday evening and waited for 20 min before we were seated. It was worth the wait though we both had some tea and desserts and it felt like we were in a vintage cafe with how old school the decor was. The cheesecake was insanely delicious and some of the best I've had. So light and fluffy it was perfect. The pistachio gelato was also incredible. The desserts here are fantastic. read more

Today we bought a large strawberry layer cake at Veniero's directly from the display case for my mother-in-law's birthday. The staff was able to write a personalized message ably and efficiently. The strawberry-topped cake itself was fabulous with thin layers of soft vanilla sponge, airy and light cream, and small pieces of fresh strawberry between the layers. The top layer of frosting with the huge swirls of piping were probably a tad excessive. I appreciated that neither the cake sponge nor the frosting was not too sweet. Overall it tasted fresh and delicious, looked beautiful, and was very reasonably priced at $33 including tax. Veniero's is a true neighborhood gem. There's a good reason why it's lasted for over a century. With abundant options and consistently solid standards, the bakery is well worth repeated visits. read more

Tom Cruise, I'm going to let you finish but Veniero's makes THE BEST COCONUT CAKE EVER!! This cake is heavenly!: three fluffy layers of coconut-infused sponge, wrapped in a dreamy blend of cream cheese and buttercream frosting, and finished with a sprinkle of shredded coconut. I always go for the 10-inch cake, but let's be honest--it's never enough because everyone insists on taking a slice home! Don't let the rich-sounding ingredients fool you--this cake is incredibly light and delicate, like biting into a cloud kissed with buttercream and coconut. The coconut flavor is perfectly balanced--not overpowering, just the right hint to make every bite sing. It's the kind of cake that disappears fast, so trust me: one slice is never enough! I order the cake for pick up and the service is efficient and polite, always ready on time no delay. The ambiance of the dine in bakery is classic Italian style. read more

Solid bakery as I have had their cannolis and cookies before but went to strictly try their cheesecake. I am on a quest to find the best cheesecake in nyc and venieros was the top of the infatuation list. Tried their Sicilian and New York style cheesecake. Sicilian cheesecake smelled and tasted rancid...but that's the rum it's infused with I guess and I was not a fan. The New York style cheesecake was very good but not great. 8.5/10. It's thick and buttery... bit heavy for my taste. read more

Veniero's - Mini NY Cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

What an amazing place. A NYC institution that's been around since 1894. It used to be a pool hall and is now one of the best Italian bakeries in NYC. It feels like going back in time when you step inside and it smells terrific. The Italian cheesecake is terrific, I'd even venture to say if you don't like Italian cheesecake, you will like this one. You can taste the ricotta in it, very reminiscent of my grandmothers. As for the rainbow cookies, not my favorite, but still superior. They have less almond flavor and are more jam and cookie forward. My husband loves them from here, I think they're great l, but I prefer the more almond forward flavor. They are also coated with chocolate on all 4 sides. The cookie is not try at all and they are dense. If you're in NYC, stop by and give it a try. If you're into Italia bakeries and pastries, this place absolutely has to be on your list of bakeries to try. read more

This place is the best! If you're looking to sit down and enjoy your dessert and drinks (which you should) skip the line and walk to the back of the place to get seated. So many fun desserts to choose from and lots of great alcohol coffee options too! Such a fun treat for after dinner. read more
