What People Are Saying About Bouchon Bakery
The Editor
Erin Behan
Citysearch
The Scene – The open-mall seating overlooks an expansive wall of windows with a Columbus Circle view and manages to feel removed from the humming escalators and J.Crew shoppers. A bustling crew of sage green-shirted servers whisk plates of luncheon and light dinner favorites to power lunchers, tourists, and ladies who lunch. – – The Food – Fresh baked bread, impeccably brewed iced tea: These sort of details make dining a pleasure despite the relative simplicity of the offerings. Among the sandwiches, the tartine of roast pork tonnato impresses with a delicate balance…

Can't believe the bad quality and service
by Dough at Citysearch
I walked into the bakery because I really like Keller's food. I then asked for 1 of every cookie type the bakery had. The person behind the counter did not understand me, I then repeated my request 3 more times in different ways. I then just gave up and pointed to what I wanted.
The packaging was beautiful, so I waited to share them with my very pregnant wife. I got home and gave her the first taste of the cookies. To my surprise, she asked me to taste it because it tasted funny. I did and the cookie was turned, sour and not edible. Can you believe it. They cannot even make a cookie with butter and it turns out to be inedible.
I then called the bakery to tell them about them that they are selling product that be detrimental to someone. The manager actually asked for my address so they could send me more product.
I really don't know why Keller would lend his name to this bakery but he needs to change a lot if he wants repeat customers
- Cons: inedible cookies and extremely poor service

AMAZING food but really BAD service full of attitude
by rikkard at Citysearch
If Thomas Keller knew how bad his staff treated their customers he would be appauled. I love the food, but I can't stand the service. They are not helpful, but rude all the time. I'd rather have cheaper, not quite as good food and be treated well.
- Pros: the food
- Cons: the service is about the worst in NY
