A tiny Depression-era bakery with countless appearances in advertisements and films, including the Prince of Tides. Gold-stenciled windows still display homemade Italian bread & tarellas *NY guide*

Great lunch spot tho I wish there was seating. I usually get a box of the salads mixed together. My fave combo is the kale salad w/ the cornbread salad. The falafel and catfish sandwiches r also yum.

Wow. Their chocolate chips are not only big and beautifully displayed, but also rich, full of flavor, and melt in your mouth quality, without being half-baked. These are more sugary, less flour/cake.

The Baker's Muffin is "a traditional pull-apart pastry." Who knew that was a thing? It's got cinnamon & raisins in it & it's delicious. It's also way too much for one person so split it with a buddy!

The super hyped cookies are good, yes. Try a muffin or scone, though, at some point, too. Your taste buds will thank you. Also, birdbath has super awesome bakers and staff.

Local "green" bakery outpost from City Bakery. Terrific cookies. Most vegan foods have weird texture, the vegan chocolate chip cookies are no exception. Go with regular cookies, any flavor.

Vesuvio Bakery (now Birdbath Bakery) was a favorite of mine! It was a bakery known for its coal-oven-baked loaves, which I loved. #PorcelainTheBook Read more

you can't actually order the tower of cookies, side of statue of liberty. you can and should, however, order a chocolate chip cookie.

Pretzels and croissants are so amazing on their own, it's a wonder no one thought to combine them earlier. Thankfully, Birdbath took on the task and created this flaky, salty, sesame-studded treat.

Chocolate chip cookies the size of your face? Sign me up! Falafel is also great, but always disappointed by the kale salad and overwhelmed by the amount of parsley on the sandwich.

The vegan chocolate chip cookies are better than the others. I said it and I mean it.

The baker's muffins are to die for. I don't love all the powdered sugar on top but I just step outside and blow that right off.

The cookies are huge! Tried the mixed berry scone and soy latte here on a clear winter day and it hi the spot😊

Try the Pretzel Croissant and Chocolate Chip Cookie. The iced coffee is to die for. Vegan and gluten-free options as well.
Pamela CastilloAugust 8, 2014
Go grab a sandwich and a cookie, or mac and cheese if you're feeling indulgent. They also have the famous Pretzel Croissants.

The chocolate chip cookies are $3.50 and are the perfectly calibrated texture between hard and soft. Yum!

Don’t be confused by the ‘Vesuvio Bakery’ sign, left in homage to the previous bakery that stood here for decades. We tried the addictive chocolate chip cookies, delish!

Great sandwiches and sweets from City Bakery. Try the salty-buttery pretzel croissant.
Robin CarmanJune 5, 2015
So much salad in that little box. The desserts are delicious and interesting too. Green tea Matcha meringue? Yup.
Nina LoSchiavoFebruary 18, 2012
The cilantro chicken is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and the City Bakery hot chocolate with a homemade marshmallow is to die for.

Coffee and a cookie was my play here. Too small to do much more than in and out but the quaintness and charm of this place is comforting.

Kale salad with roasted hazelnuts is always a good lunch for me. I mix it with pasta if available.
Alex RainertMarch 13, 2012
Their chocolate chocolate chunk cookie is so good I almost gobbled it up before I had a chance to write this tip. Like chocolate? Get one.

Since 1920s. A choice of two salads, two sandwiches and some great looking muffins and cookies ;)

A small shop serving La Colombe coffee and cookies! A great afternoon pick me up.

Each chocolate chip cookie has what feels like a stick of butter in it and I can think of no more redeeming quality for a cookie.

Not only does Birdbath use all organic, local ingredients, the bakery itself is made of sustainable material and all deliveries are done by bike. Go there on bike or skateboard for a special discount!

Maury Rubin outfitted his supergreen bakery with reclaimed wood floorboards, shelves fashioned out of recycled paper and organic sweets plus classics from his City Bakery.

Cookies are good but you can fine better for the price. Choice of lunch meals seem pretty good. Would like to try it out.
Grace S.January 22, 2011
Cappuccino, Ginger cookie, and vegan choc chip cookie!! (vegan choc chip is less oily and more crispy. If u like softer cookies go for the reg choc chip!)

Kale Salad....could eat it every day! And the baked spaghetti squash with toasted pumpkin seeds is unique but satisfying.
Ann Marie SkjoldJune 6, 2017
Turkey & cheddar on a pretzel croissant + kale salad = match made in lunchtime heaven 😛

Chocolate chip cookies are fantastic! Same as City Bakery.

Get a chocolate chip cookie. Or 12. The vegan one isn't nearly as good as the regular.
KW.May 24, 2013
They don't have hot chocolate when its warm. They will say this to you in a freezing day in May. Otherwise, always good stuff and no complaints.
EileenApril 11, 2018
My favorite is the dark chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips
Josh MateoJune 16, 2015
Mildly hidden gem. Cheap, quick, and healthy lunch options.

The best iced coffee I've found in NYC. I drink it 4 days a week. It's intoxicating.

Gabriel Ruas Santos-RochaSeptember 30, 2015
Delicious lunch options that are healthy and affordable.

The cilantro chicken sandwich is a must. Also their muffins!

Besides having delicious cookies, Birdbath is very eco-friendly. The store is powered by wind-energy, recycled goods are plentiful, baked goods are delivered by bicycle-driven rickshaws, and more. Read more

Famous for chocolate chip cookies, delicious but really intense!

The cookies are large and delicious. Meant to snap a pic, but I ate it too quickly

Ask the friendly people there to do half coffee / half hot-chocolate. Really good!

The cookies! They're sooooo good!

Want to be the mayor of Nom City? Get the chocolate chip cookie. (It's even better with milk.)
Molly DonohueApril 13, 2016
Noticeable butter taste in chocolate chip cookies! So so good.
