Overview

Venieros chocolate desserts and delicious coffee drinks have been a sure thing since the 19th century. While Venieros cheesecake gives the famed Junior's in Brooklyn a run for their money, Venieros chocolate desserts, sugary confections and excellent mochachinos are the treats of choice.

Why You Should Go

  • Venieros chocolate desserts and sugary confections are superb.
  • $4 Red Bulls are beat. Choose a mochachino instead!
  • Cheesecake gives Junior's in Brooklyn a run for their money.

What You Should Know

  • Immediately after entering Venieros, inhale deeply the sweetly scented air.
  • Don't block the entrance; if you're there for takeout, turn right and grab a number.
  • If you're there for a table, a line should have already formed stretching from the back, alongside the cake-refrigerators on the right; simply ask people if they are waiting for a table to find the end of the line.

Veniero's is THE New York pasticceria. It gets nuts, absolutely nuts in prime hours, and personally I can't stand the accoustics and flourescent lights, but there's a good reason this place has been around as long as it has. The service is snappy, the selection is almost overwhelming, and the quality top notch.
