If you haven’t been to Bouchon Bakery before, you must stop by next time you’re nearby. They have 5 locations in the United States: two in California (Yountville and Beverly Hills), two in New York City, and one in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although Bouchon Bakery is known for their breads, pastries, and confections they also have a full espresso bar as well as a café menu with sandwiches, salads, and quiche to make lunch on-the-go easy.
One of my favorite confections from Bouchon Bakery is their
macarons. Macarons are soft, chewy
meringue cookies made with ground almonds and sandwiched together with rich,
velvety Swiss meringue buttercream. The
last time I visited, I bought one of each of their espresso, raspberry, and
vanilla macarons as well as their seasonal flavor, which at the time was a
malted chocolate macaron.
I also tried their version of the San Francisco born
classic: the ho-ho. This Bouchon version
of the ho-ho was composed of a chocolate cake rolled with Chantilly cream and
covered in a rich chocolate shell. Their
ho-ho was delicious, but it’s a dessert that you definitely want with some milk.
