    Red Bear Coffee & Bakery is a small cozy addition to the East Village. the coffee shop has several tables and seats in a bright welcoming interior. while it's a fairly cozy space and doesn't feel cramped or cluttered. very well maintained and clean. of course, the magic happens at the coffee bar where a menu of coffee centric drinks are served along with offerings of sweet bakery items as well as savory items like simple sandwiches and such. stopped here twice so far--tried the drip coffee which was solidly good and worked well when you're in a rush. also got an Americano coffee on the second visit. my Americano was really good--smooth medium roast coffee served hot and a great coffee taste. there are another of bakery items on display--still regret not getting a big cookie that i eyed. the service is very friendly and attentive. if you're looking for a place to get a cup of coffee or a small bite to eat then Red Beard has you covered. plus they offer wifi if you need to sit and work or study.

    I love this spot on 1st Ave. They always play great music and the food and drinks are delicious- I mean did you see the avocado toast with the flower? And it's so delicious. This is a great spot to bring a laptop and get work done and enjoy the amazing food and drinks- 5 stars

    Some Cheesecake like Cake . Very Good !

    I usually just try to focus on food when writing about restaurants but I encountered one of the weirdest and rudest workers ever on my first visit here. From the moment I entered the restaurant the guy with the long ish hair in a ponytail gave me a look like I was entering a KKK meeting . It was bewildering , so I said hi to break the ice . He then nodded all while sporting a disgusted look and proceeded to go behind the counter to assist . I asked him about a pastry as it was my first time having Turkish pastries while being extremely mindful of my tone and tact . He seemed to get even more perplexed and bothered at my inquiring about the pastry. During this uncomfortable time , two customers entered . I was immediately skipped over them by the strange worker without a "one second" or "hold on " or any other polite phrase . Another worker , ( polite female) came over and assisted him in getting the new entrants their pastries ahead of me . No problem, I took it on the chin and looked at it as an opportunity to practice patience . Now, after getting rid of the other customers , it was now again my turn to continue ordering . They were both now just dealing with me . I asked a couple more questions while the girl now is taking charge realizing the awkwardness of the situation. The weird guy now relegates himself to just holding the bag open to place the pastries . I must have asked about 3 pastries before this guy , while holding the bag proceeds to react like a petulant child. He storms towards the back again sporting a disgusted and bothered look . Now , all doubt was eliminated . This guy was either a definitive weirdo or maybe didn't like people like myself . I proceeded to ask a couple more questions to the sweet lady before choosing a couple things . I even asked her if everything was ok with him . She tries to cover for him by saying, "he has a headache." Still standing now 15 feet or so away and sensing he might have messed up he proceeded to come back in the fray in the last moments and put my stuff in a bag for me to leave . This was truly one of the most uncomfortable and just downright ridiculous first time encounters in a food setting I've ever faced . Despite having what I think are quality pastries that seem to be even on the more "healthy" side, this encounter has really soured me on ever returning . I hate to think it was because of how I look I got this treatment but the signs points towards that .

    Red beard coffee was amazing! I left full of great energy and truly emotional. The server was friendly and informative. He was accommodating as far as my request. The ambiance is cozy and fun small place but there's indoor and outdoor seating. The Turkish coffee was phenomenal and the baklava shake was delicious. After enjoying my coffee I got a reading which was hands down the most emotional experience I've ever had with coffee! You have to come to this place

    I visited this place with a friend because we were intrigued by the desserts on display. The one that caught my attention the most was a pistachio-filled croissant roll with baklava, and it turned out to be one of the best desserts I've ever had. The place itself is cozy, and the service was fantastic. If you visit, you must try the croissant roll--you won't regret it!

    Had a chance to try a wide variety of the menu here and Red Beard Coffee did not disappoint! The Turkish Coffee and Mocha were phenomenal as well as the Avocado Toast and Salmon Lox Bagel. Staff was incredibly friendly and made sure all the customers in the store were accommodated for. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to do some work while enjoying a little treat! Also, they provide a 20% discount for Pace Students!

    (Blueberry muffin was already demolished by this point)

    Went here with my sister when she was in town and we both LOVED this cafe. Amazing atmosphere and some of the nicest staff. Food and drinks were great too. We got their paris tea, avo toast, green juice, blueberry muffin, and fig tart. All of it was delicious. Definitely will be visiting again!

    The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

    Yummmy!!! What a cute and unique dessert boutique! So many choices but what makes this place stand…read moreout are its adorable and colorful mousse delicacies. The inside was packed with folks! There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

    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 ordered ahead of time since there was a bit of a line and the store was on the smaller side. Got…read moremy cookie right away when I came into pick it up. Guys... 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!!

    The service was excellent; everyone in there was so friendly! I got to warm up a few of the cookies…read moreI ordered and WOW. 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!
