The French-inspired kosher patisserie has opened its fifth storefront at 525 7th Avenue, between 38th and 39th Streets \u2013 steps from Times Square, giving the Garment District a full-service kosher dairy cafe blocks from where the brand first went viral.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/viva-la-dough-kosher-midtown-Manhattan-cafe-4.jpg\" alt=\"Customers at the counter inside Viva La Dough's new Midtown Manhattan kosher cafe\" class=\"wp-image-48810\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Midtown shop is the brand\u2019s second Manhattan location, joining the <a href=\"https:\/\/yeahthatskosher.com\/2026\/06\/viva-la-dough-opens-new-location-in-nycs-fidi\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Financial District cafe that opened at 160 Broadway<\/a> this past June.

A sixth location, at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey, is also in the works. Few kosher brands have scaled this quickly while keeping the concept intact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new space might be the brand\u2019s most polished yet: pink floral installations climbing toward crystal chandeliers, marble-topped tables over a black-and-white checkered floor, and display cases stocked with the fruit-shaped mousse pastries that made Viva La Dough famous on Instagram. Digital menu boards hang above the espresso bar, with seating for guests dining in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/viva-la-dough-kosher-midtown-Manhattan-cafe-7-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dining room at Viva La Dough Midtown with pink walls, chandeliers and marble tables\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Midtown menu carries the full lineup. The signature crozza, a personal pizza baked on laminated croissant dough, comes six ways: Margherita, Eggplant &amp; Peppers, Fungo with wild mushrooms and garlic confit, Pesto, Kale Hot Honey, and Vodka, in 5-inch individual pies built for a lunch crowd.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/viva-la-dough-kosher-midtown-Manhattan-cafe-2.jpg\" alt=\"Assortment of croissant pizzas (crozzas) at Viva La Dough Midtown Manhattan\" class=\"wp-image-48819\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/viva-la-dough-kosher-midtown-Manhattan-cafe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Fungo crozza with wild mushrooms and arugula at Viva La Dough kosher cafe\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sandwiches now come on the brand\u2019s new handcrafted artisan sourdough buns, country white or multigrain, including the Tomato Mozzarella, the Mushroom Panini, the lemon-caper Tuna Viva, Garden Avocado, the Mediterranean Panini, and Cream Cheese &amp; Lox.
