What People Are Saying About Vesuvio Bakery
Featured Review

The Scene – The modest-looking bakery is one of New York's great landmarks. With appearances in innumerable films, photographs and paintings during its eight-decade existence, the green, stenciled facade of this Prince Street fixture has come to symbolize an Old World/New York craftsmanship only scarcely evidenced in Soho's current rash of chain store hegemony. – – The Goods – The bakery lovingly churns out the kind of handcrafted, heart-wrought bread that's kept Vesuvio in business since your granddad was a kid. You won't find any fancy multi-grain, nut-studded…

Fantastic neighborhood joint
by whatsd
Great food, great NYC-style service. The gals who work there are hilarious and give us a dose of NYC accents and great laughs. I love taking my family there when they're in town, and I often have them deliver one of their great omelettes and fantastic lattes. Good prices, highly recomended.

Vesuvio's erupts with flavor
by williamrog
I have been frequenting Vesuvio's now for more than 25 years and while my other favorite Soho haunts have given way to flashy boutiques and overpriced Tourist-oriented fare, this remains a neighborhood gem. The Coffee is among the best in the city - offering frothy lattes and rich creamy espressos with a smile. The lunchtime Chicken Pesto sandwich on Vesuvio's own Ciabatta rolls takes me right to Rome in one bite. Though the shop is too small for a business lunch it is great for reading the paper or having a romantic tete-a-tete. The longtime staff remembers its regulars and rewards even new clients with a nod, a smile and sometimes intimate details of their personal lives. (Solicited or not ;-)
- Pros: Great coffee sandwiches and baked goods
- Cons: small and sometimes slow

Perfection
by vinmar
Vesuvio bakery is one of the last true places that made soho what is is today. The landmark bakery now serves fantastic paninis, wraps, salads and some of the finest coffee I have ever tasted. I used to go there whenever I was in the city for bread. I now make it a point to either have breakfast of lunch. Everything is truely amazing in this perfectly decorated landmark. It was also called New Yorks most photographed storefront of all time. A perfect 10.
- Pros: fantastic food bread, Soho HOT SPOT, great coffee
- Cons: , crowded
