I love this place everything is fresh and delicious and made with quality ingredients. The only problem is sometimes the line can be out of the door. It is definitely worth the wait.�

One of my favorite places - period, end of sentence. You can go there and for less than $10 see people from anywhere. Some are tourists, some are locals who have been coming here for generations. It's a jaw-dropping display of dozens, if not hundreds, of cakes, cookies, gelati, and good coffee drinks, or alcohol if you want it. Something for everyone. If you go after 9 on a Saturday night, there may be a line out the door. For best luck, go at off-times, like an afternoon or weeknight.

I have been visiting Veniero's for almost 40 years. Their pastries are always fresh and made from quality ingredients. Their minis are a great way to try a few treats. Sheer decadence! There is no better way to warm up on a chilly NYC day than to stop in for sweets and awesome coffee and cappuccino.

The biggest problem about Veniero’s is what to eat. Absolutely everything tempts and everything I have eaten there has always delighted. Perfection. Always get boxes of pastries for family and just for the ride home.

The best cannoli I have ever had!!! Purchased 2 chocolate dipped with vanilla cream. She asked if I needed a box and I said nope My son and I are going to eat them right now!!!! Walking down the street in nyc eating that cannoli was like heaven and a lot cheaper than traveling to Rome! Thank you so much!!!!

Bellissimo! Delicious homemade - Traditional Sicilian pastries baked with love and care. Veneiros is also a New York landmark. You just cannot visit New York and not go to Veneiros.

I love this place. I'm not from New York. I travel 2 hours from Pennsylvania to get my cheese cake and pastries. There might be better places to go and I'm sure there are worst places but, the service is great, the prices are fair and I'm never disappointed!!

Went while visiting family and lived it. Hot chocolate, tea and Irish coffee. We all had different desserts and shared. Wonderful selection with tons of options. Everything was good. We did table service but you can also stop in and get things to go.

Visited Venerio’s to get a birthday cake for a friend. I usually get the strawberry shortcake but this time selected the chocolate cake. Bakery was not crowded and staff took care of me right away. I also ordered two mini cheesecakes as well as a half pound of cookies.

That night we celebrated my friends birthday. The cake was not what I expected very rich and crumbled when cutting it. I should have bought the strawberry shortcake! The mini cheesecake were delicious as well as the cookies.

Visited this little beauty around midnight and it was still buzzing with people. Ordered the carrot cake, cheesecake and a chocolate based dessert(which I can't remember now). It was, hands down, the best cheesecake I ever had! A visual treat apart from being a dessert lover's paradise! I cannot wait to visit again!

Best desserts in Manhattan. Very "Little Italy" vibe, even in the EV location. Staff is always super-friendly and helpful, and are very tolerant of terrible American mispronunciations. Also, I cannot emphasize enough how good their pastries are.

Tiramisu to die for and visual delight in terms of strawberry delicacies. This is a nice little European place tucked in on 11th street. We had a blast with strawberry cheese cake and Tiramisu.

I am a fan now!

Veniero's is a cute little pastry shop and cafe that transports you to a different time. I have been told that it is actually one of the oldest Italian pastry shops in the United States. Although I have not yet tried the tasty treats they offer I can tell you that the coffee was great. It's a cute little cafe to meet up with a friend and chat in. I will definitely be returning next time I have a craving for some sweets!

Oh My God it's the Holy Grail of Dessert. Well we have been to New York many many times. Now it wouldn't be right to leave without some of Veniero's Pastries. One of the hardest things to do at Veniero's is to choose which pieces to have. You can't just try one piece of cakes, pies, tarts, or cheese cakes. I mean you look at the cases like a child in the best candy store in the world. The wife was asked by one of the doctors she works with to bring back a cannoli. We did and when he saw it was from Veriero's he said "Oh my god it a connoli but it's from he Holy Grail too" With that I'm not sure if this place isn't the best Pasticceria in the world. In our eyes this place is nothing short of the best in the world desserts.

30 Years of Deliciousness. We've enjoyed Veniero's wonderful Italian pastries and caffe' for at least 30 years. Everytime we go to NYC, we have to visit Veniero's for a cannoli and iced cappuccino. The iced cappuccino is simply THE BEST with a scoop of espresso gelato...someone pinch me now! On several desperate occasions, I've asked a friend in NYC to load up with Veniero's pastries and deliver them to Houston, TX. Upon arrival, we have an instant party celebrating the deliciousness that's been around since 1894.

Too bad there's not a Really, Really, Like it" button!! When I was young (in the mid 80's) my grandpa used to bring me cookies from here when he went back to visit family. It still wows me 30 years later. An absolute must for any trip to NYC!

Wow. Went here Friday night late after a dinner around the corner at Luzzo's and grabbed a mixed box. Literally stood outside in the rain eating every last bite of pastry goodness before even thinking about moving on to our next stop for the night. Cannolis, Pastry Cream tarts, Rainbow Cake tarts, Miniature Eclairs. All fanstastic. Hustle bustle to order.

Yummy in the tummy. We had a delicious cannoli topped with green colored pistachios, a perfect creamy cheesecake topped with strawberries, and a heavenly raspberry mousse tart /cake. All were scrumptious and savory morsels of Italian pastries.

Best Napoleon EVER!. Everytime I'm home I try to make a trip to Veniero's. Service is always impeccable. My favorite is the napoleon, others include the strawberry cheesecake, the NY Style Cheesecake. They do bake cakes 'specially for you for special occasions. You can pick on from the fridge or call ahead.
During the nicer months there is always a line out the door.
Definitely my favorite dessert place anywhere. Bar none.

Photo credit – Veniero’s The Fat Man strikes again! After dinner not too long ago on the LES we decided to take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. My girl’s family actually grew up in this hood so we like to wander around and check out their old haunts. All of a sudden The Fat Man taps on my shoulder and points me in the direction of Veniero’s . Yes, I can’t resist so we decide to head on in. Just had to wait on line for a few minutes for a table. When is there never a line here? At least you get to view the gigantic pastry counter with all its wonderful sugary offerings. All types of pastries, cookies, and gelato flavors. We were seated pretty quickly and handed the menus. There is so much stuff packed onto it that the actual letter size is super small to fit it all on the pages! Went with a regular coffee and trio of miniature pastries each. Hey, I’m trying to watch my figure as summer is just around the corner! I’m not fat – I’m just a bit oversized! Photo credit – Veniero’

We love Veniero’s! The cheesecake is so fluffy and creamy. We had to go back this time to get another 7″ New York style cheesecake. We ate half of the cake in bed at our hotel in the evening, and then saved the other half for breakfast. Cheesecake for breakfast is a great way to start a day in any vacations!

Your eyes widen, you can't help but smile. So many choices...so many glorious calories. Cheesecakes, cannoli, tiramisu, biscotti, fruit tarts, strawberry shortcake, Black Forest cake, Red Velvet cake, and pastries galore. Even gelato! The menu lists more than 60 desserts, made from scratch daily. There are even sugar, gluten and dairy-free items. Veniero's decadent desserts

Finally getting to the East Village and the much-talked-about Veniero's Bakey for a visit to Italian Pastry Heaven.......hope you are not reading this on a empty stomach........ Window was decorated sweet and I loved the stain glass at the top....... Of course they have cannoli, but as you can see, chocolate and vanilla cream which I do not see everywhere. The cream is the "correct" cream as I call it, made with ricotta which I could eat alone with a spoon. I was delirious looking at these cases of pastry and there are quite a bit of them I had brought a cooler with me to be able to take items with cream to not worry about getting spoiled until I got home. You must come prepared when you visit a place like this. It is a must!! They make their own maripan, which is a confection made of almonds reduced to a paste with sugar & often molded into different forms, usually diminutive fruits & vegetables. Cookies galore are in the cases as well. I was really stumped as to what I was taking hom

Veneiro's Pastry Shop, a relic of Italian cafe's past, founded in 1894 over 115 years ago here in East Village, would become our 7th food item on our hitlist today. It was approximately 2:55pm and 3 hours into our food binging New York experiment.

We ordered one mini cannoli vanilla flavored, one mini eclair, and one mini Napoleon. They were all great! Just what you need without going overboard. I don't really like cannolis but this one was good. I love eclair's and this one was good. I really love Napoleon's and this one was a little different from normal one. They have a sponge cake as one of or two of the layers. And it was soaked in liquor. Not bad but I would like to try to have one of their big ones if it's more like a classic ones. I'll have to check it out before I buy it. The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere is really cool and old school a lot like an old bakery I used to go to in New Jersey in the 80s.

Veniero’s Pastry is a historical place that has been serving delicious desserts since 1894. It is known for its cheesecakes, which are creamy, rich, and smooth. The cheesecakes come in various flavors, such as strawberry, chocolate, and more. The pastries are fresh, handmade, and beautifully decorated. The cafe has a cozy and elegant atmosphere, with chandeliers, mirrors, and paintings. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is fast and efficient. Veniero’s Pastry is a great place to enjoy a sweet treat with your friends or family. It is one of the best Italian bakeries in New York City.

Everything looked and tasted amazing! It was pretty busy for 8:30pm on a Saturday. Service was a little slow. But the overall atmosphere made up for the delays. The Mocha Espresso cake and Marble Cheesecake were perfect! Would go back to NYC just for these desserts!

I'm usually not a dessert person, but now I'm a Veniero person. Veniero's Pasticceria is a gem! Their pastries are divine, with an array of flavors and textures that satisfy every sweet tooth. The charming ambiance and friendly staff make it a must-visit in NYC. A dessert lover's paradise! Going here after Sunday dinner on a rainy evening was a true NYC movie-ish vibe.

I visited this bakery last friday, when I was in deep need of something sweet, i was greeted with a nice warm smell of fresh pastries and sweets. Dozens of sweets are displayed all over the counter and each one looks better than the one before, leaving you very indecisive and lost in the non ending sweets. as per usual when I’m lost by so many options, I always ask a staff member for help; staff was interestingly diverse, some of them were extremely nice and helpful some weren’t really as attentive and cooperative, i had to talk to at least 3 different members till i decided on what to get, I got a couple of each to try out different options and give a solid opinion about this bakery. I got: a pistachio cannoli a hazelnut tart an oreo tart Raspberry Rugulah Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Chocolate Finger Overall it was absolutely delicious and fulfilled my sweet tooth that day, especially with the cold brew coffee I had, amazing mixture together. But i will have to say that I’ve heard so much about this bakery that maybe my expectations were higher, this’s not to say that this bakery was bad, not their cookies and cannoli were perfect, especially the cannoli cream just perfection. But i’ll have to say, the tarts weren’t my favorite thing persay, so i’d stick with the cannolis and cookies. Next time I hop in this bakery i’ll have to try their cheesecake as i’ve heard it’s a true delight too! Would definitely recommend stopping by here and getting yourself something nice Forgot to mention that one of the employee treated me in a very nice one and gave me a sample to try from the cookies, very nice and friendly guy

Well it has been years since I made the journey back here. This location has the feeling of a real Italian coffee house. Let's admit though we are here for the pastries. Everything we ordered last week was fresh. From tarts to cake we had it Our waiter took our order but there was no rush. It was a bit hot inside but ok and the music ehhh all preference so overall just as I remembered amazing

Once you try one of their pastries, you will keep on coming back for more. I used their cake as a birthday gift in several occasions and it never disappointed me. Though their cakes are little pricey, but definitely worth it!
