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. read more

This place has such a cute, classic bakery storefront. On a weekday night, this was a quiet place with not much foot traffic. It was a convenient, quick in and out for me. The Rainbow Cookie was slightly different than what I'm used to, I think because it was slightly larger and softer like a cake. It was good! read more

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

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I work a block away from Vesuvio . Their food is good however every time I go in there they charge me a different price for the same item. I find this business practice unacceptable. For this reason I will not frequent this establishment again. read more

A darling gentleman helped me with my purchase the other week, and he appears to be a one-man show. The space is quaint and the display case is vibrant, you will be dazzled by the goodies and can't decide what to buy but will make a hasty choice since there's a line building behind you! God, I wish that wasn't the case at every bakery I'm at... I got a baguette that served its purpose for a sandwich made at home. The croissants were subpar. And I was disappointed with the rainbow cookie, it had no telltale sign it was a rainbow cookie on appearance nor in flavor. I'm glad I stopped by but that's all, once is enough for Vesuvio. read more

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. read more

Came here for my matcha .. love their matcha although it was little too much matcha .. but their customer service is amazing . The guy who takes order is amazingly great , has great customer service and warm welcome read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

I am writing this review inspired by the employees working the mornings of Thursday 1/4 & Friday 1/5. Both gentlemen were friendly, personable, classy, humorous. Really a wonderful start to the day. Vesuvio makes my coffee perfectly. I love the focaccia & vegan cookies. I would've 5 stars the bakery. I'm only withholding 1 star because I so wish Vesuvio would bring back the vegan sandwich. It was excellent, filling, healthy, delicious. read more

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! read more

If you walk down Prince street in the morning, there's a line of people waiting outside of the La Colombe. Those people are sheep. Little do they know that mere steps away, they'll find the pastry perfection and perfectly-pulled espresso shots at Vesuvio. When I start my day with an oat milk cappuccino and a pignoli cookie, I know that nothing can derail my train from its express trip to good vibes town. Staff is so friendly too--the whole experience is always perfection, and I step out and continue on my way to work with a grin on my face as the La Colombe tech bros continue to scroll on IG waiting for their cold brews. read more

Omg! The best croissant!!! This is such a cute little bakery offering freshly baked breads, croissants, cookies, and donuts. Sandwiches and coffees also available. There are two small tables outside that seat two each. Most take items to go. I hear the bread is great, but they don't slice it. The sesame croissant was outstanding! Get it heated and my god so buttery soft with a hint of sesame paste inside. You can taste the light butter flavor. So so good! Since cookies just came out I couldn't resist getting one (just 0.98 cents). This was a chocolate layer with blue cake and blueberry jam layer. Hope to be back soon to try more items... or get another croissant! read more

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!! read more

What am I tipping them for if I have to pay to add the vanilla syrup in myself, on top of paying for the vanilla syrup? I even asked the barista "I actually have to put it in myself?" And she said "yea" and as stated above I asked "what did I tip you for?" and she just walked away. I don't mind leaving the extra incentive, but I didn't realize I had to make my own coffee at such a "influencer establshment". Literally, people are outside taking up the seating to put all their extra belongings on chairs just so they can take pictures infront but not even buying anything to eat or drink. I used to go here daily, the customer service has declined to me only going once a month. Now I'Lo never go here. read more

I visited this bakery yesterday on Sunday 26th And to my surprise, this bakery has evolved and leveled up so much. I remember coming here 9 years ago. When my wife worked around the corner and this place was so cluttered and chaotic. Now I feel like it has such a better vibe. I forget the gentleman's name, but he was the manager on staff. And he was so kind and cool to me. I will 100% be coming back down. read more

Such a great spot in a cute area of the neighborhood. The interior is very small, with only countertop space for you to stand and enjoy your coffee/treats. But the coffee was very good and my chocolate chip cookie was DELICIOUS. read more

After lying dormant for 11 years, Vesuvio Bakery has miraculously erupted out of nowhere, spewing biscotti and rainbow cookies into the mouths of the helpless (and hungry) denizens of Soho. In all seriousness, this rebirth is nothing short of astonishing, a real gift to NYC, and I salute the proprietors for bringing back the 100-year-old bakery. Don't miss the aforementioned rainbow cookies, resplendent with potent and boozy almond extract, or the chocolate biscotti, crisp but not dry and boasting pleasant notes of charred cocoa. And if you want more than just sweets, Vesuvio is emitting hot loaves of fresh bread and a couple types of sandwiches (one meat, one roasted veggie). read more

I wish we had this in SF. I went to the location at the train station. Manihall. The bread was fresh but not Hot. It taste like tartine but way cheaper.

Cute bakery but certainly expensive. I paid $7 for 6 tiny cookies so that is like $1 per tiny cookie. The rainbow cookie was a bit dry. I loved the pignoli it was really flavorful. They have some breads that they sell but they are too large for just one individual. read more

Top notch flavor on the vegetarian breakfast sandwich here! It is a beautiful mixture of delightful flavors with a little horseradish kick that is not too overpowering. We also ordered some bombilinos- donuts filled with Nutella basically. They were not evenly filled. I'm fact, mine had hardly any, and my cousin's had NONE! Worth a stop. read more

Service was incredible. The barista made me a custom drink and even let me try the ice cream on the house. So glad I stopped by - amazing experience read more

Good coffee but even better pastries ! Get the olive roll. Cute little shop. Definitely a good local spot.

All you need to know is that they sell the incredible Pretzel Croissants and Cookies from City Bakery. This is a tiny new location that just opened, with no seating, and just a small counter with the good stuff on display. The Pretzel Croissants they sell here are mini versions, for $4, but are every bit as amazing as their original, larger counterparts at the mothership location in the Flatiron. They also sell junior size versions of the Baker's Muffin, which is also excellent, but if you are going to get something other than the Pretzel Croissant (which would be a mistake, so get something in addition to that), then it should be the excellent cookies. Go for the Chocolate Chip, which is one of the best in NYC. I feel like not enough people realize they can get these amazing things here without having to go to City Bakery. If they did, this location should do very well. read more

Chocolate Chip Cookie! Yum. Cute bakery. Plenty of baked goods to choose from. Everything looks delicious and it smells so good in here. Tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie, Oatmeal Cookie, and Linzer. They were all well prepared. Fresh, light, not too sweet, and made with quality ingredients. No seating available. Just grab your goodies and go. Service was quick and friendly. read more

After cutting up vegetables for 3 hours at God's Love We Deliver, I was craving a chocolate chip cookie. I stopped by Birdbath Bakery. Forewarn - there is no actual sign in front of the bakery saying "Birdbath." I walked by this bakery twice! I even cursed at Google Map when it kept telling me "I'm here." This bakery is small; there isn't a lot of standing room. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie ($3.50) and a marshmallow ($2). The baker offered me a new marshmallow when she saw the ones in the jar were stuck together. The cookie was the bomb! Ka-boom! My taste buds were rejoicing when I bit into it. The outside was crunchy and the inside was a little chewy. There were just enough chocolate chips. I'll definitely make more stops here. read more
