If you are looking for the most traditional Italian #Baba al Rum " or " Tiramisu " this is the place. Forget your diet or browsing your e-mails ! Perfect for late Sunday before crashing into reality.
Incredible variety of delicious pastries and desserts ! Can't go wrong with anything. Had the meringue and it was amazing- definitely will go again and try more.
Everything looked so good! We were completely overwhelmed. Went with the classic: cannoli . Very good. But I still dream about also eating one of the pies.
Perfect cannoli and frutamisu (or smth like that), all pastries looks sooooo gooood. Very nice place. The only con is that coffee here is not that perfect (it's a tiny con). The place is awesome
Rocco is awesome, ask him what he recommends for the day that you're there (if you order at the counter). All of the Italian pastries that you want as well as seasonal Italian favorites.
Vanilla meringues have a delicious almondy taste to them. It's seems like there's too many things to have them all. Bonus for gluten-free people, they have a few cheesecakes without the crust.
Pastries are really good, cheesecakes are excellent too. The cannoli are some of the best in NYC. Definitely recommended
known for their cannolis but their giant chocolate chip and jam dot cookies are also excellent. avoid going in the afternoon or you may get stuck behind a bus load of tourists .
Cannolis are piped with cream to order and always good. Their black and white cookies aware huge and have a lemon cake base which isn't for everyone's taste.
If you like cream and fruit , def get the fruitimisu. I made the mistake once of ordering a small, and had to go back next week because I couldn't stop dreaming of it! Go for the large!
This old school Italian bakery has just about every cookie you can imagine, plus cakes , espresso drinks , and a covered back garden .
I can say, without reservation , that this is the best cheesecake I've ever had. And am I not without a breadth of experience.
Get to this fantastic neighborhood and find an European-like coffee place is like heaven! It feels nice sit down and drink from a glass from time to time (not always, take-away cups)
Great cannolis , filled to order. Good selection of pastries and Italian cookies as well . Don't get sit down service, they haven't figured that out yet.
finally tried it. that baba rum ....has a lot of rum ...but not overwhelming like others can be....it's great go try it. A+++ in every way
Highly recommend the cannolis ! Cheesecakes are good but a bit on the heavy side
Great hot chocolate n cannolis , LOVE the fruitimisu (not on menu), mascarpone and fresh fruit in flaky pastry
Mini cannoli 's are to die for! The regular ones are better than the chocolate ones. Also - incredible decaf coffee (for late night drop ins)
You can't go wrong with any of their deserts , but you're gonna have to take it to go as there is seldom seating.
Best cannoli in the city . Filled fresh at time of ordering. Don't forget to grab a bag of biscotti on the way out ????????
Lovely place, variety of sweets and warm atmosphere
Chocolate black out cake . Generous portion , frosting was quite rich. Overall pretty good
I can't believe all the tips about cannoli but nothing about the Bab'au Rum with cannole cream????? It's amazing and you knock back the rum when you're done, there's so much! -getting a cannoli 2day.
Get the cannoli . The filling actually tastes like ricotta , unlike at other places where they make it too sweet and you don't even know what you're eating.
Everything looked so good but I always end up getting the cannoli because its freshly made for you there and it's so so awesome
I'm not huge into the cannoli here but I guess I'm not huge into them anywhere. the cheesecake , however, is better than every nyc cheesecake spot I've been to. coffee is great too.
Order the Chocolate Mousse Cup with Raspberries on top. Say hi to Freddie. He's been there forever and is the reason I go there!
I have tried their cannolis and I’ll be coming back....
My absolute favorite pastry shop--nine years and counting. Fruit tarts , baba rum , tiramisu tarts , Italian cookies ...YUM
Great Italian cookie selection. I go for the custard filled pastries .
Love getting a variety of all their cookies , really good and authentic .
Had the black and white canoli and it was absolutely amazing. Totally recommend.
Best Italian Cheesecake . It's $7 a slice now! Wtf? Used to be $3.
An NYC classic. Try the Napoleon and the triple chocolate cake .
Excellent service , great pastries . Go for the lobster tail !
A "coffee with milk " here is an Americano with steamed milk & top-frothing, lovingly prepared. 16oz large = $2. No reason ever to get bodega coffee or Starbucks in this part of the W Village .
Shocked at how affordable this cute bakery is. Can't go wrong with sugar/pastries.
Italian Almond based cookies and classics like melt in your mouth chocolate chip
Lobster tails are the way to go
The pies look so good, you want them all, but take the cannoli . That's why people come here.
I like the fruit tarts -- I take some home whenever I visit NY. My friends like the cheesecake and I would have to agree with them!
The NY Cookie Bloggers made a video about Rocco's Pastry Shop and Espresso Cafe ...check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuUEoDTLWss
The service is awful, everytime I come I regret. Staff forgets about you, if you want to come, come@with time. The cheesecake and canolis are very good.
Pignoli cookies are fantastic.
Cannoli . They fill them fresh. Nuff said. The tiramisu is also amazing.
you can actually have a coffee and have some of the cakes , they have tables inside
Lobster tail , napoleon and Cannoli s are delicious ????
Phenomenal cannolis and pistachio cookies . Plus they have homemade tarallis! Franco is such a nice old Italian man :)
Giant cookies that are so soft and cakey and delicious!
Of the window cookies , s'more and chocolate are the best.
The macaroons are great! What else? Oh, to day I had one of te chocolate sorbets, delicious as well!!! - Cleo
Try the Understanding Vanilla - One of the best flavors to try in this spot - Built Frenchié
For those who like to lounge, this lovely cafe serves fried hodduk and Toby's Estate coffee. Both are great! - Caro Chon
Beautiful, European style park. Occasional live music and outdoor chess makes it a hit. - Gajtana Simonovska
Buy a Burrata Mozzarella and Parma ham, take it home and enjoy with a good baguette!! - Alicia L
so consistently amazing. the tomato really pops on the fresh mozzarella slice - Alex Robertson
