It was beautiful and the French music and the smell of fresh dough was in the air as I walked in an ordered a few minutes after they opened. Everything was so good! I drove by a few hours later and the line was around the building. A must do while in the area!

Stopped in between our winery tours to butter up our stomachs. I’ve been to their NYC location once, but it didn’t leave a huge impression. The OG location had more varieties, so I was excited to give them a try.
The bakery itself was quite small, so we had to wait in line for about 15 minutes before placing our order. The outdoor patio area was nice, and we were able to snag a table without much wait. We ordered the signature almond croissant, maple bacon danish, and the cream cheese danish.
The almond croissant was good, but by today’s standards, it felt a bit plain. Almond croissant game is pretty intense these days, and maybe this was the gold standard when Chef Keller opened in 2003. Not bad, just not worth the wait, unless you’re stopping by the original Yountville location for nostalgia’s sake.
Maple bacon danish was visually interesting. A full strip of bacon wrapped within Danish layers. But since both were served at room temp, the bacon texture felt oddly limp and out of place. More novelty than satisfying.
The cream cheese danish was my favorite of the three. Outer layers had a great crunch, and the cream cheese filling had the right balance. Just enough sugar to lift without overpowering.

Love this place! Great, unique-tasting coffee, and the biggest macaroons you’ll find anywhere (actually doesn’t feel like you’re getting ripped off, which is a first for me when buying macaroons).

Went in at 9am on a sunday, no problems with the free parking lot from across the street. A line is usually present to buy stuff, but it moves fast enough. By 9:15am we were done ordering and the food was ready to pick up by 9:20am
Food was lovely, almond croissant was nice, croissant was good, the cream puffs and chocolate almost croissants were solid too. Sandwich-types were also available, one we had was the smoked turkey & cheddar, and that eas lovely too.
Service was great, staff were patient and the food was ready very quickly after we ordered
Atmosphere was great, the design was lovely and it's a nice place for 3-4 people to have a lovely conversation at
This bakery tries to fit the huge area into a tiny little building. Stick to the croissant and simple baked goods. We got the have and cheese, an oh oh, a chocolate macaron, and a kouign-amann. The oh oh is basically a fancy ho-ho. The chocolate macaron was ok but was much more a raspberry macaron and not chocolate. The kouign-amann was incredibly tasty and had some delicious caramelization. The sandwich was almost terrible, its is small and you do not get to appreciate the bread, also they toast the mustard.

Bouchon Bakery in Yountville is a must-visit for pastry lovers. The croissants are buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked, and my favorite was the cream cheese one which was rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. The iced coffee also hit the spot with a smooth, well-balanced blend of beans that paired perfectly with the pastries. Even with a line out the door, it moved quickly and the staff kept things friendly and efficient. The outdoor seating next to the bakery is fantastic with plenty of space to enjoy your food, relax, and soak in the charm of Yountville. Definitely one of my favorite Thomas Keller spots.
A true gem for pastry lovers! Every visit feels like a mini escape into a world of flavor and charm. The almond croissants are perfectly golden, crisp on the outside and buttery-soft inside—worth racing for the last one! And don’t even get me started on the macarons… pistachio and passionfruit are pure luxury in every bite.
Their seasonal treats, like the peanut butter sandwich, are always a delicious surprise. Coffee here is unexpectedly amazing—especially the caramel latte, best enjoyed in their serene courtyard with sunshine and birdsong in the background.
Yes, there's usually a line, but that just proves how special this place is. Flawless pastries, peaceful vibes, and staff that make you feel like a regular—this bakery is magic. Unmissable!

The Bouchon Bakery is an adorable little shop in the middle of Yountville, California. Best pistachio macarons!
