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.

Went here with a friend of mine walked in and it didn’t take long to be seated which is nice. We enjoyed the drinks, I got the cupccino no sugar and my friend got a chamomile tea and the desserts were delightful! We basically shared a mini tramisu and mixed raspberry cheesecake. Additionally, what I loved was the ceiling panels and the lighting. Waiters are very friendly and quick, this place is a must!

Veniero’s Pasticcereria & Caffe-Dazzling array of desserts. Sit down service as well.
Plan ahead. Do some recon by reviewing the menu before arriving.
They serve individual pieces or an entire cake.
Fantastic Pistachio Cannoli.
But really just about all of their offerings are delicious.
Must visit if in the area.

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.

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.

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

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.

Venerios has always been our go to bakery for many years and it never disappoints. Their baked goods from cookies to cakes are absolutely delicious and amazing. Today, Emma assisted us and was so attentive and kind. Thank you so much for your hospitality. And if you spend more than $30, you get a complimentary calendar. Have a wonderful holiday.

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.
