The service is really great! The nice man behind the counter gave us suggestions and has exemplary costumer service. The baked goods weren't very yummy tbh. They were pretty dry and bland. It's a quaint bakery though!

focaccia
Lena Y.

We have a coffee table book that features this store front from over twenty years ago, so we had to stop in when we came upon it one day. We grabbed their focaccia to go, which they sell in half loaf portion. We made sandwiches with it and it remained delicious the next day as well. Highly recommend the focaccia!

I've passed this bakery for so many years due to it being close by to my then Aveda location on West Broadway. It is nestled on a busy street that houses Joe and the Juice, two delicatessens and Chobani Cafe. Bur Vesuvio stands alone as an an old fashioned bakery that reminds me of the boulangeries in Paris. It offers artisanal breads, pastries and beverages. It has a rustic feel due to the brick wall that currently has a festive wreath adorned on it. The menu is limited to the usual cappuccino, lattes, there are assortments of breads and pastries. I stopped by to try their hot chocolate which is rich and decadent. It tasted like a heap of Belgian Chocolate melted into a cup. It was a mild winter day thus I ate my lunch and sipped the hot chocolate at their outside table. If you are looking for a spot to transport you to a European "feeling" , then Vesuvio is your place.

croissant

The lamination on this croissant and the people watching in Soho. Simple is best. This place is legendary.

Pic of the baked goods case. Existing pics of the medium green exterior are generally accurate.

Stopped by for a post-gym snack on a rainy Winter afternoon. Charming outside and inside as old school bakeries use to be in NYC in the '70s and '80s as I remember them. Soppressata and mozzarella sandwich was unremarkable. Oatmeal raisin cookie too soft for my palate. Iced cortado tasted as it should, a nice balance of espresso and cold milk. Visit for the nostalgia.

lattes
Stephanie Y.

Decent bakery - not much seating (just outside). There's some standing room to snack on your pastries but it'll probably only fit 4 people max. I got the chocolate croissant, rainbow cookies (they're just diff shades of green) and a latte. Latte was good. Quite standard tasting. Chocolate croissant they heated up. It's very buttery which makes it a bit dense and not too flakey. I could only eat 3/4 before I felt like it was far too oily feeling for me. My friend helped me finish the rest. They give a solid amount of chocolate but it wasn't melted and gooey. Rainbow cookies were a bit dry with not much between each layer. I might stop by because it's cute in the future but wouldn't go out of my way.

Inside looking out.

Friendly and cute inside. Very New York, small, standing only with ledge inside, two small round tables with 2 chairs each outside. Best place to be on a Sunday morning or afternoon. I love it because I can people watch and be part of the NY culture. I am having lemon cake, which is yummy with an espresso. Great day in NYC!!!

Bread in the window

What a great little bakery/coffee shop. On a recent trip to NYC, I had the pleasure of having coffee here twice. The oat lattes were on point as I tried to keep it simple. There's was delicious and creamy. During a meeting break, we also got an assortment of bakery goods to get us through the afternoon. I don't remember everything we had, but the pignoli cookie stood out as being one of the best I've had. Coffee and cookies, how can you go wrong? Actually, it's surprising how many people can mess that up, but not here.

Rose N.

Really good cookies! Nice and warm. The bakery smells amazing. It's counter service. There's small area to sit either inside or outside.

Inside and Croissant

Although a super friendly cashier and cute interior, the butter croissant was cold, even after warmed-up, and it lacked very much flavor. That sums it up.

Wendy B.

Sweets review only- Cookies are a bit hard. Maybe just need to microwave little more. Bombolini is quite yummy.

Elsie D.

Walking around we found this little bakery with a sign outside that says to try their hot chocolate. We sure did! It was amazing! It was wonderful! Rich and very delicious. We just had breakfast so we didn't try any of their baked goods, but maybe next time!!

Sesame croissant
Elle W.

This bakery has been around since forever and I'm happy theyre still here! I'm not sure if they're related to the old City Bakery (RIP to my favorite everything croissants) but the photos of this place seem to include ones from that bakery as well. It's a small storefront. They have a pretty wide array of loaves (focaccia, sourdough, ciabatta, etc.) They also offer lunch items salad bar style. As for their pastries they have mini cookies by the pound, croissants, cheesecake, bombolinis, and the best chocolate chip cookies. I tried their sesame croissant and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Its dusted with sesame seeds on top with a very thin layer of butter filling in the middle. I cant really make out what it is but it almost reminds me of halva. If youre ever on Prince St. visit them!

This might be one of the most beautifully curated bakeries I've ever been to. I was completely…read moreobsessed the second we walked in, especially with all of the desserts designed to look like actual fruit! Mango, blueberry, avocado, lemon - you name it, they somehow turned it into the cutest, most beautifully crafted pastry. Everything looked almost too pretty to eat... almost. We definitely tried more things than we probably needed to, but it was 100% worth it. The pastries weren't just beautiful either--they were genuinely delicious. We also tried a couple of their specialty lattes, which were really tasty and paired perfectly with all of the desserts. It was VERY busy when we visited, so definitely expect a crowd, but I completely understand the hype. The space is beautiful, the pastry cases are basically works of art, and there are so many things you'll want to try that it's almost impossible to choose. Honestly, this place would be dangerous if I lived nearby because I would be here WAY too often. Absolutely worth a visit, especially if you love pastries and desserts!

While walking around Flatiron, I decided to try this new bakery because it looked really cute and…read morehad some interesting desserts. Little did I know I was about to be OD disappointed. We kept things pretty basic and got a plain croissant, along with their holiday special hot dog croissant, which was shaped like a little dachshund. Honestly, it was pretty cute! The two items came out to around $13, so not the cheapest snack, but not the worst either. Food: 2/5 I'm not gonna lie to you, I didn't even think a croissant could be THIS plain. The outside looked perfect, and the texture seemed like it was going to deliver that flaky, buttery goodness you expect from a good croissant. But then I bit into it, and the inside was just... bread. Plain bread. Like, how is this even possible?! How did you manage to get the flaky texture and everything looking right, but somehow have so little buttery flavor? It was giving me more of a basic dinner roll than a croissant. I was genuinely confused. Then we tried the hot dog croissant special. Unfortunately, the pastry itself had a slightly burnt taste around the tip, which wasn't ideal. Luckily, the hot dog saved it a little because it added some savory flavor and made the whole thing more enjoyable than the plain croissant. Would I intentionally come back just for these two items? Honestly, no. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. Maybe the fruit desserts or cakes are what people actually come here for, and I just completely missed the point. But based on what I tried, I was pretty disappointed. Vibes: 4/5 I will say, the bakery itself was super cute and had that very trendy Flatiron vibe. It was also PACKED, so clearly people are coming here for something! The place definitely looked the part, and I can see why it catches your attention when you're walking by. All in all, I'm a little torn because the bakery was cute, the pastries looked promising, and I really wanted to love it. But when your plain croissant somehow tastes like plain bread, it's hard to get excited about coming back. Maybe I picked the wrong items, and I'd be willing to believe their cakes and fruit desserts are better. But am I going to make a special trip back to find out? Probably not. For now, it's a 2/5 from me. Cute bakery, trendy vibes, but the croissants just weren't doing it for me!

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I went to this place because of the Winnie the Pooh pop-up. It was very crowded, but the lattes…read morewere really delicious. I'm not gonna say anything about the wait time because it was really crowded and I'm sure it's not like this on the daily basis. The drinks were good, so that's really all you have to know. The interior was very cute. They decorated it for the event, but even without it it was a small New York style coffee shop. Definitely good vibes. Also, it was very large and had a lot of seating so if you wanted to go and have a little seat and enjoy yourself, you'll have more than enough room plus there was tons of outdoor seating and if the weather is nice, it's beautiful to sit outside.

The Cardamom Latte (9/10) was almost perfect. I got it with oat milk, which made it nice and nutty…read more The espresso was on the lighter side, so I wished it had a richer, stronger espresso flavor, but it was still really satisfying and not too sweet. The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor. It was perfectly sweet and I could genuinely eat so many of these. This one made me love cardamom buns, and I'm not sure if any others will top it. Vibes were a 9.5/10.
