TL;DR: Classic East Village bakery with tons of variety priced by weight. Great to grab a mixed box after dinner. Consistent quality and fair prices. I go every trip. Veniero’s is my go to pastry stop in NYC. You can mix and match minis instead of committing to one big cannoli. I like the fruit tarts, the chocolate chip dome, and the small layered cakes. Everything has been fresh and not overly sweet. The vibe is old school New York with long glass cases and a steady crowd. It gets busy at night, but the line moves. Prices feel fair for the quality. Pro tip: build a small box so you can taste a few different things. Easy walk-over stop after drinks or dinner, and you can usually eat outside if it is not packed. Staple spot.

Italian place that serves lots of different cakes and pastries. We had american cream cheese cake, red velvet, cannoli and some drinks. The cakes were absolutely amazing, and my espresso martini was also great. The classic italian decor really added to the whole experience.

We visited Veniero’s and picked up a box of pastries. The strawberry tarts were fresh and creamy, and the cannoli with pistachios was delicious. What I really liked is that the desserts weren’t overly sweet, and the small size makes it easy to try different kinds at once. Everything looked beautiful and felt homemade.

It’s a very classy cafe, the decor is beautiful it transport you directly in the late 1800s. The place is huge and you have a ton of option for pastries. We got the carrot cake and strawberry cheese cake, both were excellent and fresh. The service was quick and good. We totally recommend this place if you are around.

Veniero’s is hands-down one of the best dessert spots in NYC. Every visit feels like stepping into a sweet little piece of history. Their Fruit Tart is an absolute showstopper. The buttery crust is perfectly crisp, the custard is silky smooth, and the fresh fruit on top is always vibrant and bursting with flavor. It’s as beautiful as it is delicious. But the real star for me was the Fruit Cheesecake. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness, it strikes the perfect balance. The fresh fruit topping adds a refreshing, tangy contrast to the dense, luscious cheesecake base. It’s one of those desserts you dream about days later. Service is friendly, and the old-school charm of the place makes it feel warm and welcoming. This place is an East Village gem. Whether you're grabbing something to-go or sitting down for a coffee and dessert, you can't go wrong .

The best Italian cookies in New York City. We've been going here for years and I often get several pounds of cookies to go. You might have to wait a few minutes in line. Good service.

You can't beat the old school ambiance. Espresso Togo is $3. Small cannoli Togo $2. With the wide array of goods, things gravitate on the sweet side. Saturdays are packed. Not a bad place to study …

waiting in line to get in always makes it more worth it. The pastries, cheese cakes and cookies are among the best in NYC. I can never stop coming here.

Like walking back in time - beautiful display of their pastries, very affordable, and you can tell the product is made with love and care. Wish there was a place to sit and enjoy these tasty treats

Sad to see fall be gone, wish fall weather could just stay forever. Venieros is a really great place for some Italian desserts. It is authentic and the pastries taste delicious! The pastries have a rich and authentic taste to it. It’s also not too expensive. They go by the pound, and you can try a variety of different pastries. The fruit tart, eclair, and cannoli came out to be $2 each, while the cheese cake was $6. The cheese cake and pastries tasted really good. Overall, the pastries were really authentic tasting and not artificial. It isn’t too crowded and it was a short 5-10 minute wait to get the pastries. The cashiers and workers were polite and fast. Overall, would recommend this place. It has an old school touch, vintage, cozy, and homey vibe to it. Price: $12.75💸 $6 cheesecake + $2 each for pastries Rating: 9/10📝

Stepping into Veniero's is like stepping back in time with its ornate counters & surrounds. All of their pastries are amazing but you definitely must try the original New York cheesecake - sublime …

We ordered the mini cannoli, a NY cheesecake, and a cappuccino. I wasn't entirely satisfied: the cheesecake was too crumbly and lacked creaminess, while the cannoli had clearly been filled a long time ago, making them soggy and dull in flavor. As for the cappuccino, it didn't even come close to the quality you'd expect from a real cup of coffee. Given that this is an Italian restaurant/patisserie, I expected a much higher standard. I’d suggest they take a trip back to the motherland to see what real desserts and coffee should taste like. On a positive note, the staff were friendly.

I used to come to Veniero’s all the time to pick up treats for family and friends. I came back today and the host said I had to wait for him to sit me because he’s busy. Another staff came by and sat me. Ordered what I wanted and waited for the bill…nothing. Went up to pay at the register and not a single word, just rung me up (the same host). Didn’t look at me, didn’t say anything. Only time he looked up was when I was inputting the tip. Sad to see what has happened to one of my favorite spots in NYC

Veniero's Pasicceria & caffe is a small, cozy Italian bakery with impressively efficient service. They offer a wide selection of pastries and cakes — some even sold by weight — which makes browsing the display case a real treat. We ordered the New York cheesecake and two different cannoli. It was my first time having a cannoli, and it did not disappoint. All the pastries held up beautifully during our two-hour trip from there to Connecticut, and everything tasted absolutely delicious. A wonderful stop for anyone who loves authentic pastries done right.

The cakes and pastries here are outstanding, but the biscotti are very average. The almond and sesame were good, the others were not particularly flavorful. It was $6.5 for three cookies if you eat in the dining room.

We were looking for some dessert for after dinner and this place was closed by. We had some apple mince pie, a slice of tart, a puff pastry with fresh cream and strawberries and affogato. I think some of the dessert like mince pie should be warm up for it to taste good. The Affogato was a bit small and the tart was extremely sweet with no other flavours to cut it. Overall, big place with many seats and a great varieties of dessert to choose from!

The service here is shockingly bad. The young staff at the to-go counter were friendly and helpful, but the dine-in experience was a disaster. After purchasing cakes, we tried to sit down and order coffee and gelato, only to be rudely turned away by an older male server, who refused to let us dine in at all. Another staff member at the dine-in register was equally cold and unwelcoming. No explanation, no basic courtesy. The Napoleon cake is fine for take-out, but the dine-in desserts are mediocre and absolutely not worth it. If you plan to sit down, avoid this place.
