    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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!!

    Delicious coffee with oat I'll and a tomato and cheese pie
    Rachel B.

    Vesuvio's is an authentic and charming real bakery that makes you feel warm and welcome as you enter, and delights the eye (as well as the palette) with tasty treats be at savory or sweet. I often stop in for their classic salami and cheese sandwich baked on delicious Italian bread but the other day I decided on their tomato and cheese (looks like an oversized empanada) but was like a pizza inside! What a wonderful surprise. To end they have traditional Italian rainbow cookies or pignoli ones. They have recently added pecan pie and cheesecake!! Treat yourself - these days we all deserve it!!

    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!

    Old school and worth it over all the chains and new places. It's a classic for a reason and worth seeking out.

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.

Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
