Whenever I’m in the area I can’t help but stop in for a latte and a delicious giant vanilla macaron! Seriously, these things are amazing. I haven;t even bothered to try anything else.

The drinks are unique which is why I love this place. Even though you order a normal iced tea, tea, americano, or chai latte, it will be the best you’ve ever had. The flavors are so enhanced and taste very high end and luxurious. They cannot even be compared to cafes and other coffee shops/bakeries. The quality is amazing. I’ve also had the most delicious fruit crossaint which has the perfect little flakiness and crunch and amazing flavor which I crave everyday. My only issue would be is them putting too much ice which lessens the amount of the drink. But either than that, amazing.

This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Beveryhills area. Buchon bakery is located in Montage hotel and my God! The venue is magical. The whole seating area is outside on the patio facing the courtyard known as the Beverly Canon garden. The Bouchon bakery and Bouchon restaurant are next to each other and I have had the chance to dine at both. The best part about this place is service! We sat at Bouchon for some drinks and cheese and the service we received was like no other! Here is a big shout out to John(from Chicago) who was the best, most attentive and the friendliest waiter anyone could ask for! Both the pastries and the food here is amazing, it is so relaxing to sit by the garden and eat something, that I think just the experience itself elevates the level of satisfaction a lot. We ordered a Charcuterie plate last time we were at Bouchon and I love what they had paired for us; two types of goat cheese, one sheep, some nuts and honey. I really enjoyed my time here. Recommend this place very highly. Would have been my usual hang out place if I lived here in Beverlyhills.

Just a wonderful place to grab a coffee or tea and any of their fabulous macaroons or pastries. Their croissants are also outstanding. If you are in the mood for something quick and more savory and filling they have sandwiches available. The place is very small but there is plenty of tables and chairs at the park. Lovely place to grab a quick bite and people watch.

Stopped here to get something going to eat. They have lots of selections such as sandwiches, crepes, bakery, and other selections. I orderd crêpe and ice green tea. The crêpe was delicious and it came with whip cream. The ice green tea was ok. This place has great outside view.

Typically, it takes me a few days to write a review but I am so happy with Bouchon Bakery why wait. First of all, the courtyard in which the bakery is located is fabulous. A great place to people watch or take a break from the office. Down to business, the food… There are pastries and premade sandwiches. I know what you are thinking, premade sandwich? Now, I am not talking about crappy gas station premade sandwiches but the ones in all of the bakeries in Paris. The moment I stepped in the set up took me back to my Euro trip. Salmon sandwich on a poppy seed bagel with cucumber and a chive spread gets a thumbs up. The chocolate bouchon pasty is delicious. The service… The staff is delightful and are happy to answer any questions. This place is an amazing value for lunch in Beverly Hills. I look forward to coming back.

My favorite place to stop on the way in or out of town. I literally cannot be within a 20 mile radius and not come by for an iced coffee, and perhaps a macaroon as a sweet treat. I’ve send friends in from afar just to get a coffee!

THis is my first time here. I heard amazing things about the pan au chocolate and it didn’t disappoint it was really fresh and perfectly baked. I also tried the vanilla latte and it was also great. It is pricey but if you’re around the area it’s worth trying

Bouchon has a lot of great things, but they have the BEST macarons I’ve had outside Paris. If you’re a chocolate lover get the TKO which is like a giant softish oreo and is amazing, but back to the macarons… you can get the normal sized macarons, but if you want to surprise someone(or just indulge yourself) get the large one and they will box it up old school style! This place makes me happy!

We love Bouchon Bakery in Yountville because the food is amazing and the service is always good despite the crazy number of customers lined up & the long wait. We planned a stop at this Beverly Hills location during our drive back up to the Bay Area from SoCal because we always stop here on our way home. But, this visit was the WORST out of all of the times we have ever visited a Thomas Keller restaurant or bakery. In Yountville we usually get treats for family and friends and we ask that they are boxed together in separate boxes so that it is easy for us to pass out when we deliver them. The employees at the Yountville bakery are always quick, efficient, friendly, & always willing to box the treats the way we ask them to & they always do it in front of us & bring them up to the cashier with the box open so that we can see the items inside to make sure that it is correct. During our visit to the Beverly Hills location it was very slow with very few customers. The cashier guy was NOT friendly & seemed a bit annoyed with my specific order of 4 croissants in one box, 4 macarons in another box, &12 macarons in another box. I wanted to drop off the 4 macarons at a friend’s house just outside of the LA area and then drop off the 4 croissants at my parents’ house before finally arriving home in the Bay Area to eat some of our 12 macarons(3 vanilla, 3 pistachio, 3 caramel, &3 seasonal). I didn’t want all of the food placed in various boxes all together & then have to touch everything to pass it out to the various people. Plus, I wanted the presentation of the beautiful pastry in the pretty box to be part of the treat & experience. Anyway, after a long drive & passing out the 4 macarons &4 croissants– we finally arrive home, get settled, unpacked, & ready for our treat… only to find out that there were only TEN macarons squished into a box too small. I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I counted the macarons over & over. But, when I thought back to what had happened at the bakery– it makes a lot of sense. When I told the cashier guy my specific order– he told the girl working & she placed the items into the boxes & then handed it to me. When I noticed that she handed me only 2 boxes & not 3 boxes– I explained to her what I had already heard him tell her. She then kept disappearing into the back somewhere to take care of my order & to supposedly place the items into their respective boxes. I did think that it was very strange that she didn’t want to do it on the counter in front of me when there weren’t any other customers in the bakery. But, I didn’t want to be rude & say anything –so I just gave her the benefit of the doubt & let her go do whatever she was doing in the back. But, I should have made her open the boxes for me & show me what was in each box. I don’t want to believe that I was deliberately duped, but I can’t help but wonder. I feel like she thought that I was a nuisance because I wanted the pastries boxed a certain way & so she decided to short us. I even told her the exact number of each variety of macaron to place in each box– so I don’t know how she could have gotten so wrong. We were so disappointed with our experience. We know that part of Thomas Keller’s success is due to the stellar service that you receive at any of his establishments– from The French Laundry to Bouchon to Bouchon Bakery. We will definitely think twice before ever returning to this location.

Friendlier service and better macarons then the NYC location. But not as amazing as Yountville location. The macarons and croissants are perfect over there! Anyways, this review is about this location. The guy & gal were sweet and fun-Saturday afternoon 3÷27÷15. Choco croissant had some parts of flakiness and other parts too chewy. Macaron flavors: raspberry and caramel were on point. Crisp soft outer– when you hold it with too much pressure it breaks! Inside– smooth and rich flavorful I’d be back but I have to check out other spots for chocolate croissants.

LA is so lucky to have one of four Thomas Keller Bouchon Bakeries in the world. This Beverly Hills location is particularly lovely as it’s got the pastries and baked goods that Bouchon is known for plus a heavenly scenic location right next to Beverly Canon Gardens. The bakery is a tiny outpost past Bar Bouchon and the Bouchon restaurant in Beverly Hills. It’s not as glamorous or huge as the one in Las Vegas but the treats are just as good. The pain au chocolat($ 4, aka chocolate croissant pastry) was the best I have had outside of Paris: gently moist and flaky pastry with nice, large air pockets inside. Lightly buttery and not rich. Perfect! The scenery can’t be beat as you get your treats to go and then can sit at the patio tables or on the lawn at Beverly Canon Park which is right outside. There’s even 2 hours of free underground parking under the park. I love that Bouchon Bakery offers macarons in two sizes! They have large ones for a steal of $ 3.50 and familiar-sized petite ones for $ 2.50. Definitely get the larger ones as they are triple the size as the petite ones. I tried the seasonal one, which was raspberry, and it had a nice light cream inside that was just delicious. I also tried the TKO, or Thomas Keller Oreo, named after Bouchon’s famous Michelin-star chef. This was a large housemade Oreo for $ 3.75. It was the day before Easter so it was bunny shaped. Although it was a bit pricey I loved it as it tasted just like an Oreo cookie… but super fresh versus the storebought kind. As I was buying pastries, they brought out a bunch of freshly baked French baguettes. They were only $ 3.50 each for an entire loaf, and I would love to get them next time I have a party. They also serve freshly brewed coffee drinks and you can grab a cocktail next door.

Macaron perfection! I don’t even crave macarons normally but the large ones are divine here. Just the perfect amount of light, crispy crunchiness with a little bit of creaminess… like biting into a sweet, colorful cloud. Definitely the best treat Thomas Keller(of French Laundry fame) offers. The bouchon brownies were also quite good(packed with chocolate inside). The TKO I will pass on next time. Let’s be honest… Oreos cannot be improved upon.

I ordered a chocolate cake, with roasted hazelnuts, caramel mousse, and chocolate buttercream frosting for my friend’s birthday. The cake was delicious and beautifully designed. The guy on the phone who took my order was very pleasant and professional. The whole process from ordering the cake to picking it up was very pleasant. While I was waiting at the bakery to pick up my cake they even offered me a free coffee. FYI, they do need at least 48 hours notice for custom cake orders. Probably more if the cake is complicated. I would for sure order from them again.

Macaron Bliss. The bakery is pretty tiny but welcoming. They have a cute assortment of pastries, large and mini macarons and some other random confections. I got a traditional box of 6 for $ 16. The lady went to the back and came back with a darling box. Expecting her to pick them she said«Is that all»? A little bummed since the experience of seeing them pick each lovely treat is, well, a treat. It is the holidays so I also opted for a gingerbread man. The macarons were maybe the best I’ve had in America. They were fresh, and rich and dense but not in an overkill way. The flavors were amazing. I loved the peppermint the best. The box was the best I’ve seen in the states– finally! The bow was rather cute too with their beach ball motif. Customer Service was on pointe. A Beverly Hills gem.

Exceptional scenery, very beautiful seating arrangement in Beverly Hills, quite a nice range of pastries. I decided to cop a $ 10 tuna sandwich which had a very nice look and a very lean texture. When I ate it, it was a little bit sour and kind of fell apart, but it wasn’t bad by any means. It was decent. Great location though.

Absolute favorite macarons in all of L.A. The texture is just perfect, a combination of crisp, soft, and chewiness which is how I prefer them. Flavors are also superb, seasonal pumpkin being a favorite although salted caramel comes in a close second. Croissants are delicate and crispy with many thin layers of dough separated by butter, baked to perfection. Paired with a custom-blended cup of Equator Coffee(Chef Keller’s longtime partner who makes the blends for all of his restaurants), it’s the perfect combination!

Look, I like desert. Correction, I LOVE desert. I will travel across the Atlantic Ocean for some good pastries. So I heard about this place. Looked on Unilocal and saw the rating… I decided to drive 15 miles to try it(I’m surprised that I am not 600 pounds!). Came early in the morning today(8AM in Saturday!). Staff was awesome! Sampled plenty(cookies, croissants, and muffins, oh my!) Dropped 50 bucks… and…I discovered that the pastries were not that good. First, I don’t know where they make it, because it didn’t taste fresh. It was super cold. I don’t know where they bake this stuff. I think they made the day before and refrigerated. Second, it was super expensive…$ 3.50 for a cookie, for a croissant? I wouldn’t mind dropping the cash if it was good. I would spend my whole check if it was good food. I would say that Porto’s is 200% better… its fresh and tastes way better. I wouldn’t waste my cash here. By the way, I couldn’t even finish them. I tossed them in the trash.

First time I came here, my friend was buying me macarons. I couldn’t decide which flavor to get between three so the worker there gave me two for free! Its been a long time so i don’t remember which flavors i got… But i was really touched by the freebies i scored. I knew i would definitely be back. The second time i stopped by was after work. I picked up some more macarons for my sisters and a mocha drink. I asked what their most popular pastry was and she said the kouign amann. So i took her up on that. I didn’t realize how delicious that pastry was at the time(maybe because of my mocha drink?). But when i finished up the pastry the next day, i was blown away. I love all buttery pastries. This was exactly that… With a caramelized bottom. Yum. I need to go back for that pastry.

This is so tiny but it’s so worth the stop. Who says it’s not as good as Napa? Ok, it’s not, but it’s still damn delectable. The kouign amann is the bomb dot com! Yes, I’m on the 90s and they totally called me. It’s the perfect amount of crisp and sugar and flakiness of a kouign amann. I still dream of it today and I had this a month ago! The bread baguette was so good, the bf and I were eating it without cutting it or adding butter or dipping in olive oil or anything. Of course, we are good bread lovers. The macarons aren’t quite worth it, they’re a bit too sweet and not delicate enough for my liking. The donut was good, but calories are better spent on the kouign amann. Other things looked great and I really wanted a bear foam art latte but we were so excited about the other goodies, we just traipsed right out of there stuffing face. don’t doubt that it’s not as good as the other locations! It’s still good!

Bouchers! Blessing and a curse to have you next to me at work all the time. $ 10 if you wanna valet your car on the street. Or 2 hours free parking in the structure on Canon/Beverly until 6pm. For one, the baked goods are all good! Cookies. best PB cookies EVER. Also try the PB&C. The C makes it even better, not like the one on your transcript. Peanut butter and Chocolate! Macarons, not a huge fan of them in general cause I can grab a cookie quadruple the size for nearly the same price, but they’re good! Sandwiches, pricey but good. Apparently the tuna is a must try. But I keep grabbing the salmon bagel sandwiches. IVL, favorite drink. Like the selection of hot teas too. Customer service is professional as you can expect in Beverly Hills. Enjoy the courtyard and keep your eyes out for some famous peeps. You can see em walking around occasionally. I subtracted a star cause while it’s good, it’s pricey for me. I know of other bakeries that serve the same quality for a decent price. Oh well, Beverly hills.

My daughter and I loves this bakery no matter what we are in love with this simply because it’s not like some café’s that are so hyped that it makes it so crowded.

I L-O-V-E all of Bouchon’s pastries! My absolute favorite thing is the Kouign Amann though. I can’t even describe how delectable this pastry tastes. Don’t let its humble appearance deceive you. The crispy caramelized sugar & soft flaky exterior is a match made in heaven. The canele is another favorite. You really can’t go wrong with any of the pastries. Yes, some things are a little on the pricey side but not outrageous.

Last time I was at Bouchon was a couple of years ago at Yountville, and I loved it, so I might have had too high of expectations. Instead of the usual Bouchon chocolate or macarons, we got their croissant, coffee cake, kouign amann, chocolate cookie, and beignet. Out of all the choices, kouign amann was my favorite. My husband liked the chocolate cookie, but I found it too rich and heavy. I know it comes down to personal preference, but I even thought it wasn’t as good as a lot of the Asian bakeries that are less than half the cost. I would like to come back and try other items. Service was very good on Sat night, very friendly and helpful.

Phenomenal bakery, not as European as I would expect however. The customer service is amazing and she takes her time to go through the menu if it’s your first time like me but the menu is particularly lovely.

Two words: Kouign-Amann(sounds like Queen Ah Mahn) is the most wonderful pastry ever and Thomas Keller puts forth an exemplary version. Flakey and a bit puffy, like puff pastry, it is made with bread dough with butter and sugar folded in until the sugar caramelizes. Heaven on Earth. As if that wasn’t enough, I also indulged in two of their giant macarons of the day: Earl Grey & Raspberry. I’ve made macarons from scratch, and these are delicate meringue cookies that crack and break easily. They are truly a labor of love. These were perfect and delicious. Oh to be in the Bouchon Bakery kitchen and in charge of the macaron rejects!!! The last bit of indulgence was the Canelé, a Bordeaux style pastry with a dark, caramelized crust and a soft, tender custard center. All four treats were certainly worth four more hours in the gym, trust me!

Everything about Bouchon is beautiful – the pastries, the courtyard, the people… everything! I take every chance I get to lounge around at the Montage Hotel courtyard, and doing so while enjoying a delicious pastry puts the experience over the top. I stopped in today with a friend and we tried one of the strawberry crumble filled croissants. Let me tell you, it was absolutely heavenly. So crispy, light, flaky, and buttery; the filling was sweet but not overly sweet, and the crumble was perfect. I can’t WAIT to come back!!!

A cute, small-sized bakery located under the Bouchon Bistro in the Beverly Canon Gardens. I love that the selections are still grand, in spite of being a small-sized shop. Staff are friendly, warm, and fast. It literally reminds me of Europe, where I can go in real quick, know what I want, and get it without the anxiety of a bigger-sized bakery where I feel I need to look at the entire selection before making my picks. Prices are what you would expect from an upscale bakery. I got the chocolate, green tea, and pumpkin macarons, which were $ 2.50 each(regular size). The larger macarons were a little more expensive, but I would consider getting them at another point. My seasonal macarons were amazing. They were so, so, so yummy! I was delighted, to say the least. If Bouchon Bakery wasn’t too far from the Downtown L.A. area, I would be here as often as you would fine me at Bottega Louie. Since I dine quite often at Bouchon Bistro each year, I will find myself gravitating towards the bakery before I leave.

The Better Nutter cookie isn’t just a «better» version of classic ‘Nutter Butter cookies. It is the BEST Peanut Butter Cookie … EVER. Best Nutter. The Bouchon Bakery recipe from Thomas Keller is surely for master bakers, but basically take a pair of perfect 4″ Peanut Butter Cookies and sandwich the creamiest Buttercream made by mankind to create the Best Nutter. I love almost everything Peanut Butter, but have never had anything as sweet, creamy, or buttery as the Buttercream filling caressed by two peerless Peanut Butter Cookies. Of course, I’m sure you think I’m over-hyping these cookies … fine with me if it means more of these butter cookies are left for me. Special note to my L.A. friends … want to send me a So Cal care package? Start with some Better Nutters. Want something for yourself? Try a box of the huge 5-star Giant Macarons. Olivia Z. and me shared 4 of these giant gems … and by share, I mean nearly came to fisitcuffs. She can have the Caramel and Chocolate, but I’d like to see her try and pry the Vanilla or Pistachio from my hands. Ah, we have such a loving relationship … What therefore Bouchon hath joined together, let not man put asunder. The Bistro upstairs is nice, but whether you eat there or some swanky spot in Beverly Hills … save a little room for a Latte, some Giant Macarons, and the Best Peanut Butter Cookie of all-time … the Better(Best) Nutter.
