Nonfat Latte + Chocolate-Almond Croissant
The morning after the Lady Gaga concert, I found myself with some time to kill on my own. I took advantage of being in a great location and headed over to Bouchon Bakery to see if I could get something that I didn't get on my last visit there.
I got there mid-morning, which might have contributed to the somewhat lacking quantity of breakfast items. I love sweets any time of the day, but I wanted it to have some semblance of a morning food, haha. Hence, the chocolate-almond croissant above. The croissant had the great shatter of a classic flaky croissant crust, and an even schmear of thick chocolate in the middle. I couldn't eat it all but it was a perfect way to start the morning.
The Namesake: Chocolate Bouchon
Yes, it was mid-morning, but I couldn't resist! The tiny little chocolate bouchons looked so cute, and I didn't get this last time, so I picked up two for E and I to try later in the day. For being so small, these are PACKED with decadent chocolate! I could easily see myself polishing off a half-dozen of these at once, eek!
Bouchon Bakery is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to try out new treats, especially in the morning. If I personally had one of these near me, that would be so so so dangerous. But for now, I will undoubtedly enjoy their offerings as much as my schedule allows when I'm in NYC :o)
I want that chocolate bouchon...yum yum yum!

ReplyDeleteyummy...I so want to try those....where in NYC is this?
ReplyDeleteBouchon's one of my fave restaurants but I've only been to their bakery once. (It was the Vegas one) I need to try that chocolate bouchon next time!!
ReplyDelete@adin_22: Bouchon Bakery is located in the Time Warner Center, which is in Columbus Circle. http://www.shopsatcolumbuscircle.com/ It's v. centrally located and there's a bunch of shops and stuff all around- I'd recommend checking out Bouchon next time you're in NYC!
ReplyDelete@SNC: I've only been to Bouchon in Vegas also, for breakfast. Love it!
Bouchon bakery is yummy. Did you try their macarons?
ReplyDelete@FTDC: I did, on my last visit there. We got the caramel one- it was really good! Got a little smushed in my bag though, haha.
