    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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!!

    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!

    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!!

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

    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.

    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 had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

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!!
