Four Generations
of Quality Baking
Continuously Owned & Operated by the
Veniero Family since 1894
Venieros Pastry Shop and Caffé,
located
at 342 East 11th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenue)
New York, NY 10003
Having just past its 115 Year Anniversary, this famous landmark
was established in 1894 by its founder, Antonio Veniero. When he
operated his establishment, it was a pool emporium and caffé
where he served his baked products to his customers. Later, the
demand fo his Italian pastries and cakes won him awards in Rome,
Bolognia, and at the New York Worlds Fair.
Today the Pastry shop and caffé has many of its original
details, including hand stamped metal ceilings, specially designed
etched glass doors, highly polished wood mirrors, and ornate marble
floors (which has since been restored after almost a century of
wear).
Upon entering the pastry shop, you are greeted by a wonderful display
of traditional and regional Italian confections, a vast variety
of large an miniature pastries, and assortments of hand-made Italian
butter cookies. Take in the aroma of the freshly baked biscotti
(Italian biscuits) as well as the traditional cheese cakes and specialty
cakes. A full 40 feet of ecstacy for the dessert lover!
