"If you're hoping to experience some of Thomas Keller's Napa magic but don’t have the time or the budget for a full meal in Yountville, this isn't a bad choice, as you can get all the baked goods for which he's famous (it's perfect for breakfast on the go). There are outposts in New York (Columbus Circle and Rockefeller Plaza), LA (Beverly Hills) and Vegas (The Venetian). Don't leave without a big box of the famous macarons."

"Thomas Keller’s bakery concept, tucked away in the Time Warner Center a floor below Per Se, delivers reliably solid if pricey breads, pastries, and sandwiches. The highlight among the sweets is the Better Nutter, a gourmet riff on the addictive childhood staples Nutter Butters. Two large, perfectly pliable peanut butter cookies dotted with chopped peanuts sandwich buttercream filling. Eating one in a single sitting basically constitutes a full meal. There’s an additional location at Rockefeller Center." - Paul Schrodt

Bouchon Bakery in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle is a true secret to every New Yorker and in-the-know visitor. With a generous floor area on the third floor of the building, the café-bistro is easily accessible by the building escalators and elevators. The coffee, tea and chocolate drinks are of the best quality. The pastries and sandwiches are French-inspired, with a twist of urban New York flair, delightfully baked, always super fresh, and beautifully presented. The cream puff is one of my favorites. There is lovely seating overlooking the spacious building atrium, and a table service section where lunch and dinner is served. Do visit when you are in the Time Warner Center Building, or nearby.

At this point, it has become a pilgrimage to eat at this Bouchon when in NYC. Not a mall person, nor eating at a mall - this is the exception. Has never failed to deliver with the view of the park, people watching, and best of all the spectacular food and bakery. Great, swift, and thoughtful service. Lovely for brunch or late lunch especially. If you are a big party, make reservations, there is a wait, its a popular spot and always busy. The bar area is fantastic but not great for more than 2-3 people. Besides the seasonal delicious soups, won't point out other things on the menu; cause they all are pretty great; sandwiches, the salads, the seafood. Sampled them all pretty much and all good. Some dishes were a bit too large for me, but could be perfect size for you. Bon appetit!

During my two-week trip to NYC, I had my favorite almond croissant, one at a time every single day, at several bakeries. In my personal opinion, the flaky and buttery almond croissant I had at Buchon, was the best. And the sweet scent of generous almond marzipan paste like was the most delicious, not crazy sweet either. It really make me feeling as my best fantasy memory of wanting to go to NYC again after Covid thing ends.

Watch the sunset here. Great views. Good wine. I️ sat at the bar and ordered appetizers. I️ found the food very one dimensional. Not imaginative at all. Bartender is great. You will usually need a reservation to sit at a table in the restaurant. They have a cafe where you can seat yourself. I️ like to come here before seeing a performance at Lincoln Center. Prices are fairly high.

The parfait I had here was marvelous!! Their croissants are also very good. It's a nice place to stop amidst your daily bustle for a light meal and a good view. You can see right into Columbus Circle from the seating area. The staff was also very nice and welcoming.

Location at the top of The Shops at Colombus Circle meant we were able to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while we ate a buffet style meal. Food was nice, view was considerably obscured by seasonal decorations, meaning the experience was unique but a little underwhelming overall given the price of the tickets required for the experience. Buffet consisted of seafood, turkey, bacon, mashed potatoes, various pastries and other baked goods. Staff rarely visited our table to offer to refill drinks or to remove cutlery and plates. A nice experience but now that we've done it once we'd likely spend the money elsewhere if we returned to NYC.

Grabbed coffee and small bites from Bouchon when visited Columbus circle. They have a seated restaurant open area too which closes early however the bakery/coffee counter is open. Good location for some good coffee or tea.

Was in the neighborhood and decided to treat myself once in a while with good breakfast. A little bit pricey but definitely worth it. Nice view, awesome staff and food is delicious. My steak salad took some time. Steak itself was done for my preferences and salad was fresh. They also gave me to go cup of coffee when I asked to wrap my meal :)
