Crema's Take
“Vaccaro's signature cappuccino arrives topped with genuine whipped cream and accompanied by delicate sugar cookies, a nostalgic flourish that perfectly captures why this Little Italy institution draws loyal regulars for both coffee and substantial sandwiches like their acclaimed muffaletta. The pastry case still turns out fresh cannoli and strawberry cheesecake that justify the crowds, though some longtime customers feel the overall quality and cleanliness have slipped from its glory days. Skip the pricey sfogliatelle and instead treat this as a casual neighborhood deli-café where the coffee ritual and people-watching matter more than seeking authentic Italian pastry.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Stopped by here earlier this afternoon for initially what I thought would be a sfogliatelle. However at $6.35 for each one, the price was just way too high. So, looking for lunch still, I settled on a traditional muffuletta for $12.50. For the price, I was content! There was a…
Man, this place used to be so good years ago. I used to come here all the time, and the pastries were fresh, the place felt clean, and everything tasted amazing. I don’t know what happened with the ownership, but it’s really gone downhill. The Napoleon cake I got was old and…
