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

What happened to this Bakery

by lohan

The owners are rude, the service poor and the coffee is crap.
