- glykaMarch 2, 2016A 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*
- Michelle CheungNovember 3, 2012Great 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.
- Lauren MacAugust 22, 2015Wow. 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.
- Alex RainertNovember 21, 2013The 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!
- Nate BeattyMay 18, 2015The 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.
- John AAugust 11, 2015Local "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.
- you can't actually order the tower of cookies, side of statue of liberty. you can and should, however, order a chocolate chip cookie.
- Village VoiceJune 3, 2013Pretzels 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.
- Marivic GFebruary 8, 2015The cookies are huge! Tried the mixed berry scone and soy latte here on a clear winter day and it hi the spot😊
- The Corcoran GroupAugust 27, 2010Try the Pretzel Croissant and Chocolate Chip Cookie. The iced coffee is to die for. Vegan and gluten-free options as well.
- Pamela CastilloAugust 8, 2014Go grab a sandwich and a cookie, or mac and cheese if you're feeling indulgent. They also have the famous Pretzel Croissants.
- KESeptember 25, 2016The chocolate chip cookies are $3.50 and are the perfectly calibrated texture between hard and soft. Yum!
- Louis VuittonAugust 26, 2011Don’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!
- Serious EatsMay 10, 2013Great sandwiches and sweets from City Bakery. Try the salty-buttery pretzel croissant.
- Robin CarmanJune 5, 2015So much salad in that little box. The desserts are delicious and interesting too. Green tea Matcha meringue? Yup.
- Nina LoSchiavoFebruary 18, 2012The 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.
- DoubleDeuceDecember 25, 2016Coffee 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.
- NKAugust 24, 2015Kale salad with roasted hazelnuts is always a good lunch for me. I mix it with pasta if available.
- Alex RainertMarch 13, 2012Their 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.
- Tin KadoicDecember 3, 2014Since 1920s. A choice of two salads, two sandwiches and some great looking muffins and cookies ;)
- Nicole FormicaAugust 27, 2015A 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.
- Green is UniversalNovember 11, 2011Not 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!

- Grace S.January 22, 2011Cappuccino, 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!)
- Amazing baked good. Really good roasted veggie sandwich for lunch too.
- Kale Salad....could eat it every day! And the baked spaghetti squash with toasted pumpkin seeds is unique but satisfying.
- Ann Marie SkjoldJune 6, 2017Turkey & cheddar on a pretzel croissant + kale salad = match made in lunchtime heaven 😛
- Get a chocolate chip cookie. Or 12. The vegan one isn't nearly as good as the regular.
- KW.May 24, 2013They 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.
- The best iced coffee I've found in NYC. I drink it 4 days a week. It's intoxicating.
- Looking for lunch options? Get the half cat fish and half kale salad! Deliciousss!

- Chelsea OrcuttSeptember 9, 2013Want to be the mayor of Nom City? Get the chocolate chip cookie. (It's even better with milk.)
