    Strawberry cheese croissant
    Brian G.

    The strawberry cheese croissant was the hero I needed, not the one I deserved. In a place equally well-lit and confusing (the menu ranges from fresh, baked in house bagels to Japanese udon and Korean bulgogi with rice) I found solace as my commute went absolutely perfectly and found myself with 12 extra minutes and nowhere to spend them. It's air conditioned (or the open fridge is doing the Lord's work) and if not for my desire to earn an income to feed my family, I'd probably sit here accompanied only by my existential dread and crippling anxiety until lunch, where I'd have to choose between the Wok n' Bowl or the Pasta Bar (among others, seriously this place has everything) The card reader didn't work when I checked out. I'm not complaining, the cashier and I shared a moment where we both seemed to long for a simpler society where we could have traded for this croissant and perhaps launched the device into the street. Alas, she used the other card reader. Clean, smells great, and abundant seating. Highly recommend.

    Staff is very lovely!! Group ordered wok n bowls and they were so good!! Looks small but filled everyone of us up. Amazing quick bite and would come back here to try any of there other many options :))

    If you're reading this and considering going, just do it. The menu is never ending, they have stations almost with sandwiches, paninis, wraps, pizza, pasta, hot food, bagels and then a whole cafe with coffee and pastries. Not to mention almost every drink ever made available in the coolers to purchase . Seating inside as well. Fair prices with a sandwitch being around 10-12$ Got the panini and some slices and was in love. This place seems to be loved by locals and tourists. Would recommend this place to everybody looking for a nice place to sit down and annoy a delicious breakfast or lunch

    Fraudulent Overcharging and Tax Manipulation at The Bread Factory Cafe Date & Time of Incident: March 16, 2025 (Sunday) at 5:30 AM Location: The Bread Factory Cafe, 470 7th Ave, New York, NY 10018 Incident Summary: On March 16, 2025, at approximately 5:30 AM, I visited The Bread Factory Cafe to purchase breakfast. The menu listed an omelet at $10.95, but when I proceeded to pay, the total came to $16.55. I inquired about the discrepancy, and the cashier provided the following explanations: 1. Weekend/Holiday Surcharge: The menu posted that there would be a $1 extra charge for omelet orders on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The cashier explained this, which I understood. 2. Egg Price Increase: There was a sign stating that an additional $0.50 would be charged for egg orders, but instead, they charged me $1, effectively keeping an extra $0.50 beyond what was posted. 3. Tax Overcharge: The actual correct price should have been $12.45, but the cashier was attempting to charge me $16.55, which suggested an incorrect tax calculation. When I pointed out that the tax was too high, the cashier explained that she had applied 8.875% New York City sales tax to $12.95, which resulted in a final price of $14.10. Calculation Breakdown: Original Price: $10.95 Weekend surcharge: $1 Egg surcharge: $0.50 Correct Price: $12.45 Overcharge Details: Initially, I was overcharged to $12.95 instead of the correct $12.45. An unauthorized overcharge of $2.50 was applied to the total, which was being kept for the cashier's personal benefit. This $2.50 overcharge was added on top of the correct price, making it $14.95. This should not have been the case, as the actual correct total should have been $12.45 + $1.10 tax = $13.55 (after tax). However, the cashier was trying to charge me $16.55, which included the unauthorized overcharge: $12.45 + $1.10 tax + $3 "overcharge" = $16.55 (the price she was trying to charge me, lying to me about the "tax"). Once I questioned the overcharge, she immediately changed the total to $14.10, which means she still kept $0.50 extra on the base price, charging $12.95 + $1.15 tax = $14.10 instead of the correct $13.55. Once I questioned the price, she immediately became defensive and aggressively tried to justify her fraudulent actions, saying, "I am just a cashier, I got no time for this, move aside!" That was the moment I could tell she had been caught cheating on the tax rate and was trying to shut down any further questions. After catching this issue, I realized that this was not a simple mistake--this cashier has been cheating every customer who comes into the store, adding extra unauthorized charges, and keeping the difference for herself. Cashier Description: Hispanic woman in her late 30s to early 40s Wearing black leggings, a black hat, and black running shoes Hair tied back Gold earrings A mole on her right cheek Thick eyebrows Slim body type Action Taken: After realizing the overcharge, I called 911 immediately to report the issue for fraud and theft. However, no officers arrived at the scene. Four hours later, I received a call stating that police would not respond as it is a civil matter and recommended filing a complaint with consumer protection agencies or seeking legal action. Supporting Evidence: 1. Receipt available for submission (attached). 2. The receipt shows no itemized breakdown of the food ordered, only a vague reference to "tax" and an inflated total amount. 3. I have been visiting this store for the past month and suspect I have been overcharged multiple times. Request for Investigation: I am formally requesting an investigation into The Bread Factory Cafe for: Potential fraudulent pricing practices Improper tax application and possible tax fraud Unauthorized overcharging and possible employee theft Failure to provide an itemized receipt upon request

    Chaos. And I mean that as a compliment. The menus are overwhelming and range from ramen, bagels, delicious looking pastries, soups and salads, bagels and coffee. The line moves very quickly and it took me a few minutes of staring at the process just to catch on to how things work and what I wanted. Once I ordered, we had our sandwiches in less than 5 minutes. They were hot and delicious. A very loud and busy eating area with a quick customer turn around. This place did show up on our maps and we stumbled on it by accident.

    If you are looking for something for a tasty a budget meal, this is a good place. There is a variety of food, pizza, bagels, soups, Mexican, and more! Good customer service and there are some tables to seat inside.

    Do not waste your time standing in line at the liberty bakery are the other bagel shop across the street from it come to the brake company. The service is great. The ambience is gives neighborhood vibes and the food is delicious. My husband and I both got bacon, egg and cheese bagels and we were not disappointed. Come here and enjoy a great bagel in the neighborhood spot.

    Pasta bar

    I was in New York City for vacation and we stopped here for a quick lunch. Not only is it an amazing bakery It has a hot bar with hot prepared foods, a pasta bar where you can make your own pasta and a rice bowl bar where you can make your own rice bowl all with several different meat choices and vegetables and different sauces. I did make your own pasta It was so delicious It was served in a to-go container which was so smart because I could not eat the whole thing in one setting. My food had amazing flavor and the pasta was not overcooked and it was refreshing to be able to pick my own toppings and meat.

    This is a really good solid place for a quick breakfast. they are open on the weekends and the rest of the area is pretty empty, so if you need a quick grab and go breakfast and you are in Midtown it is a good spot to stop off at. I came here with a family and they ordered a good variety of options. They mostly have outdoor seating at the moment because of Covid. But they have a lot of space inside as well. The space inside is laid out like a mini food court where you have a variety of options of items to choose from for breakfast or brunch. We did try the burger as well as coffee a few sandwiches and fries. The food was pretty average but well prepared and came out pretty quickly from a service standpoint. They also helped us to get more tables and chairs for the party because we were on the larger side since there were six of us.

    Burrito Supreme, Lox Bagel Sandwich
    Joyce K.

    Before SantaCon, my friend and I stopped at The Bread Factory Cafe for a quick breakfast. She got the burrito supreme, and I got the Lox bagel. As a lover of smoked salmon, I LOVED my Lox bagel. There was PLENTY of salmon, the bagel was slathered in cream cheese, and of course, the bagels themselves did not let me down. If you're looking for a quick breakfast near Times Square, I would recommend this spot!

    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.

    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.
