Serious EatsApril 20, 2013All-around great French-style bakery from Thomas Keller. We love the grilled cheese, pastries, and Oreo-like TKO cookies.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 31, 2013We've discovered the Pumpkin Pie Macarons here and we're officially addicted. They're only available for a few weeks in the fall, so be sure to check the dates so you can get your fix!
J ASeptember 7, 2017Very busy cafe but quick service. The corn soup was mediocre. Good coffees. The PB&C was tasty, but we enjoyed the chocolate babka more. The pistachio macaroon was delightful. Super helpful staff!
ZenFoodsterSeptember 11, 2017This locale is a bit of a bummer: mostly a tourist trap, crowded & not as comfy as UWS locale-which is the 1 that offers my fave Kouign Amann in NYC. For macarons, Maison Ladurée still reigns supreme!
DanielApril 14, 2016Grab a coffee, pastry and yogurt special for under $10 and watch these guys without bracing the cold at the diner counter!
The cafe mocha is delicious. One of the very good mochas i have had in the city. I will definitely drop by to pick a mocha if i am close by.
New York HabitatNovember 15, 2011This location, tucked away in Rockefeller Center, serves up the same delicious treats as the other Bouchons. The macarons get the most attention here but we love the Nutter Butter cookies!
MarcApril 3, 2014Tasting Table Choc Chip Cookie List: "[Thomas Keller] chocolate chunk cookies are super buttery and taste like homemade would taste if Thomas Keller lived in your home."
Long line for lunch, but moves pretty fast and totally worth it for the sandwiches. The grilled cheese & tomato soup combo is really darn good.
Josue EvillaSeptember 29, 2016This is a review for the sweets only. The macarons and cookies are decadent sugar bombs. In other words, they are perfect.- Josue EvillaOctober 6, 2016This review is just about the sweets. The macarons and cookies are decadent sugar bombs. In other words, they are perfect.
Noura Almaghrabi✨💍July 6, 2017They have a wonderful service, the staff are friendly with a lovely smile
Tasting TableJuly 19, 2012Hunker down to enjoy a strawberry lemonade and a tuna sandwich amid the hustle of Rockefeller Center. The newer of the two Bouchon Bakeries provides a small courtyard protected by hedges: Read more
Beth RosenSeptember 17, 2014A great place to stop and pick up a coffee or bite of something before you go to a taping of an NBC show
Brittney PotterDecember 27, 2015Their mocha latte sucked (my sister agreed) but the chocolate croissant was the bomb! It was really good.
ℳansour αℓтαууαrJanuary 22, 2015Pastries are well-done, tasty and enjoyable. Oat cookies, the best I had. Good coffee. The location is perfect.
Jessica LiSeptember 20, 2012Bigger isn't always better, but in this case.. It is. Best pistachio macaroons (even better than Laduree)!
Large macarons are more flavorful than the minis! But you really can't go wrong. Every pastry is perfection.
BonMarch 26, 2013When ordering off menu such as a half chai half latte, be prepared for perplexed responses and a caution that this drink won't be very strong. Noted.
Always ask if they have any free samples! I usually get to taste some cookies or a Madeleine. They are so nice here!
Sibel AkcekayaOctober 19, 2018Their food and desert are not standard american stuff, pretty delicious so worth the money:)
They make a completely un-sweetened hot chai latte, such a great alternative to the overly sweet concoctions at other shops.
Jessica JinJune 17, 2013The tomato soup and grilled cheese is delicious! Especially because the grilled cheese is perfectly cheesy!
Caitlin ClementsFebruary 10, 2013I tried the chocolate Bouchon, the store's namesake. Pricey for the size, but tasty all the same!
John AdamsApril 28, 2012The best macarons are the Vanilla and the Chocolate. Het a few and a cup of milk. The milk enhances the flavor.
Andy BrownSeptember 20, 2013Raspberry and almond croissant is lovely. We also had a turkey Reuben sandwich which was excellent
Great service. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is delectable and the watermelon lemonade is so good. Snag a table outside!
Chris CooksonJanuary 10, 2015The macaroons here are are their specialty, great hot chocolate too though a bit pricey
NYCStyleCannoliOctober 28, 2012love this place Everything here is just amazing The nutter butter homemade's are to die for!!
Maryam MalikApril 8, 2014Incredibly delectable macaroons . I am forever spoiled by this bakery for pistachio macaroon .
jiresellNovember 28, 2015Pretty efficient service for the amount of the customers the have to serve at Rockefeller Center.- Jessica LiOctober 31, 2012Pistachio's always my favorite macaroon flavor, but the seasonal pumpkin is delicious!
SusanJuly 12, 2012Peanut butter and jelly - it sounds weird but the taste is so comforting and nostalgic while being markedly refined
Pricier than your average lunch spot… But the quiche is fantastic.
Chris LMay 11, 2013Macarons are substantial though not as memorable as you'd assume w/ Keller. And mostly generic flavors, nothing exotic :( . This particular location is rather on the work-a-day side, fast-food-y.
My favorite thing here is the TKO (Thomas Keller Oreo)
Shannon DempseySeptember 15, 2013Everything is good, but overpriced - right off of Rockefeller center so I guess that's not surprising.
Mike FriedlichAugust 16, 2016Chocolate Chunk Cookies & Bouchon Brownies are so good!! You just want to eat more and more of them.
Melissa OlundApril 12, 2012If you know the difference between a "macaron" and a "macaroon," you will probably prefer the ones from Laduree.

"Love the smell of this place! Cookies were too brownie kinda cookies. Share with someone they are huge. Overall good but not my favorite kind. What I really love here is their cold brew. It's a must!"
