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.
Joseph TerranellaJuly 15, 2016
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.
Lisa RodriguezAugust 14, 2016
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!
Serious EatsDecember 23, 2013
This old school Italian bakery has just about every cookie you can imagine, plus cakes, espresso drinks, and a covered back garden.
Jeremy HoganApril 3, 2018
I can say, without reservation, that this is the best cheesecake I've ever had. And am I not without a breadth of experience.
Zayed KhanNovember 24, 2013
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.
EstherJanuary 9, 2012
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)
Jaclyn RJanuary 28, 2019
Highly recommend the cannolis! Cheesecakes are good but a bit on the heavy side
Alana MayerJune 15, 2013
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

Great hot chocolate n cannolis, LOVE the fruitimisu (not on menu), mascarpone and fresh fruit in flaky pastry
John FonteinJuly 15, 2013
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)
Lenny GalloSeptember 16, 2015
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.
NycalaApril 30, 2017
Best cannoli in the city. Filled fresh at time of ordering. Don't forget to grab a bag of biscotti on the way out 👌🏻
TaniaMarch 25, 2017
Lovely place, variety of sweets and warm atmosphere
Asli SMarch 19, 2017
Chocolate black out cake. Generous portion, frosting was quite rich. Overall pretty good
.January 17, 2011
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.
Grace LeeFebruary 5, 2016
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.
Jay BrandtOctober 10, 2010
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.
Charlene LinDecember 15, 2012
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
DeniMay 30, 2013
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!

My absolute favorite pastry shop--nine years and counting. Fruit tarts, baba rum, tiramisu tarts, Italian cookies...YUM
Natalie VApril 17, 2016
Love getting a variety of all their cookies, really good and authentic.
Josue EvillaApril 17, 2017
Great Italian cookie selection. I go for the custard filled pastries.
honeywhatscooking.comJuly 18, 2015
Best Italian Cheesecake. It's $7 a slice now! Wtf? Used to be $3.
Isa SierraAugust 28, 2018
An NYC classic. Try the Napoleon and the triple chocolate cake.
Elena SorJanuary 21, 2015
Had the black and white canoli and it was absolutely amazing. Totally recommend.
Karl BergerOctober 28, 2019
Excellent service, great pastries. Go for the lobster tail!
Tim VetterOctober 2, 2010
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.
Meg FarmerMay 19, 2015
Shocked at how affordable this cute bakery is. Can't go wrong with sugar/pastries.
Nathan SukonikOctober 24, 2014
Italian Almond based cookies and classics like melt in your mouth chocolate chip
Jackie HonSeptember 28, 2015
Lobster tails are the way to go
Elger van der WelFebruary 27, 2015
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!
Andrea MacyAugust 12, 2011
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
Mariana SampaioFebruary 7, 2017
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.
Nick AndlingerMarch 29, 2016
Pignoli cookies are fantastic.
Erica SklarNovember 28, 2014
Cannoli. They fill them fresh. Nuff said. The tiramisu is also amazing.
Mustafa Kemal YıldızçelikMarch 30, 2018
Lobster tail, napoleon and Cannoli s are delicious 😋
pablcoJanuary 31, 2014
you can actually have a coffee and have some of the cakes, they have tables inside
Nikki 🌺August 18, 2011
Phenomenal cannolis and pistachio cookies. Plus they have homemade tarallis! Franco is such a nice old Italian man :)
Rachel LodinApril 3, 2016
Giant cookies that are so soft and cakey and delicious!
