Veniero's

Veniero's Welcome to Veniero's Pasticceria and Caffe, New York's Oldest Tradition, Since 1894.

342 E. 11th Street New York, NY. (646) 998 0436. Ciao! The Veniero Family
(3191)

Antonio Veniero was from from a little town in Italy called "Vico Equense". He was 15 years old when he came to NY and worked in a candy factory downtown. In three years they made him a manager and in six years after that he opened his on shop here at 342 East 11th Street. It was originally called Antonio Veniero Confections. He had an adjacent billiard parlor next door and also owned a Saloon acr

oss the street on 1st avenue. If you bought a beer (for a nickel) you got a free lunch! Near the turn of the century the word got out in Italy that if you needed a good baking job go to 342 East 11th street in NYC (Manhattan) and ask for Antonio Veniero. Back in those days Antonio was adamant on only buying the most expensive ingredients. Example: He would buy Valencia almonds instead of California almonds since the Valencia Almonds from Spain were thinner and sweeter rather than bitter ones from California. Always the choice hand picked ingredients (Higher standards). We also won many awards in 1925 (from Rome, Italy), 1933 (Bologna, Italy) and 1939 (NYC). We were shown on newsreels throughout the country back in the day explaining about a congratulatory letter from FDR/ and Secretary of War from a Carved cake made out of Gumpaste that depicted The National Recovery Act which won honors at the NY Exposition Hotel (1933). We shipped our famous biscuits in WWII to the troops overseas. We also made Frank Sinatra's wedding cake, Liza Minnelli's Birthday cakes and Joe Dimaggio was also a customer of ours. Many current celebrities and politicians have been through the doors of the pastry shop/ Cafe (same location since 1894). Please come downtown to experience the magic that Antonio started when he first opened his shop 120 years ago this year!

At 95 years old, the legendary Dominic Chianese from The Sopranos is still making the best calls in New York. ☕️🇮🇹

On his way through the city, Dominic turned to his friend and fellow musician John, who was driving, and said, “Don’t make a right. Make a left. I want to go to Veniero’s.” 🤌

We’re certainly glad they did.

The two friends spent the evening enjoying cappuccinos, sfogliatella, music, and plenty of laughter in the café.

For a few hours, the café felt like a little piece of old New York, filled with great music, good company, and stories worth sharing.

Watching Dominic and John jam together in our café was one of those special New York moments that reminds us why we love what we do. ❤️🍰

Today we lovingly remember Pasquilina, beloved wife of Antonio Veniero, on what would have been her birthday.

Long before Veniero’s Pasticceria & Caffé became one of New York’s most treasured pastry shops, Pasquilina was there helping shape its story, even working the cash register in the early part of the 20th century alongside Antonio Veniero himself.

Her spirit lives on through the traditions, family, and generations of love that continue to define Veniero’s to this day.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Pasquilina. Your memory continues to be cherished always. ❤️

Some Saturdays are made for sleeping in.
Others are made for strawberry millefoglie, a fork-first dive into shortcake, and standing at the pastry counter saying, “we’ll take one of each.”

Fresh cakes are stocked, pastries are lined up, espresso is flowing, and the café is waiting for you like it’s been doing since 1894. 🍓☕️

Come sit awhile…or swing by and leave with a box of treats that somehow gets lighter before you make it home. ✨

Today we celebrate a legend and officially declare March 26th as Founder’s Day at Veniero’s! 🎉 A day honoring our founder Antonio Veniero’s 155th birthday.

To celebrate, we’re offering 10% off all in-store and café purchases over $20 for two days only, 3/26–3/27.

Antonio Veniero arrived in New York with a passion for authentic Italian confections and went on to build one of the city’s most beloved bakeries.

But his legacy isn’t just in sweets, it’s in stories. At the turn of the century, Antonio once went to the Edison Company to help bring electricity to the neighborhood (14th to Houston St, from 1st to 2nd Ave). Told he needed signatures from 10 business owners, he got them and helped bring power to the area!

Around 1910, master bakers from Italy joined the business, transforming Veniero’s into the iconic pastry shop we know today and expanding the tradition to cakes, biscuits, and authentic Italian desserts that continue to define us. His favorite treat was our biscuits dunked in coffee ☕️

Join us in celebrating the legacy that started it all 💙
