Bouchon Bakery is always worth a stop when we're in Yountville. Everything we've tried has been fresh, beautifully made, and consistently delicious. The pastries have a great balance of flavor without being overly sweet, and it's hard to leave without picking up a few extras to take home. The staff is friendly, service is efficient even when it's busy, and the quality is consistently excellent. It's easy to see why this bakery is such a local favorite. read more

Been coming here for 40 years and love this bakery. Recently I notice blood sugar spike from eating their bread... no added sugar. Asked if enriched bread is being used. Bouchon affirmed. Enrich bread is not used in France let alone EU. While I still love their EPI, everything else has declined. Croissant is not crispy and fluffy inside. Stick to their breads. Forced tip as well for counter top service. read more

We've been to Bouchon bakery a few times now. There is usually always a line of people out the door past the sidewalk. Usually, it goes relatively fast if people know what to order. Once you get inside, you order at the display case. This recent trip, I noticed the prices have just gone up to $6.50 per large macaron. I enjoy their macarons; they are usually fresh and have good flavors. I recently tried a blueberry one, if you like more artificial blueberry you'll like it. I previously tried a gingerbread one and it was very strong on the ginger. The standard rotating flavors are good, but my favorite is salted caramel (which is not always there, sadly). I haven't tried the hot foods yet (sandwiches). Coffee is average. If you order those, you pay and then wait to get them. Otherwise, if you're just ordering pastries, you pay and get your goods immediately and you're on your way. read more

Bouchon Bakery is a bakery owned by the famous chef Thomas Keller, known for the legendary restaurant The French Laundry. It's located next to Bouchon Bistro where we wanted to go for lunch, but they couldn't accommodate our party of ten even with split tables. Because of that, we went to the bakery instead. When we arrived at 11am there was a long line out the door. It moved pretty quickly and the food came out pretty quickly. I think it could've moved even quicker if there were menus earlier in the line so I knew exactly what I wanted ahead of time instead of figuring that out when it was my time to order. My favorites were the chocolate croissant, cream cheese danish, bacon cheese scone, and the raspberry macaron. There were a few tables outside but it's more of a casual stop for pastries and coffee than a sit down restaurant. read more

Highly popular bakery located in the Yountville/ Napa area. It's a small space and from what I know, there's always a line. But luckily, we were here at an odd hour on a weekday afternoon, and the line was minimal. The folks here were super friendly and helpful. I was here with my parents and they kind of knew what they wanted, but the folks are also kind of love us through some other options that we were interested in. For some of the basics, we got an epi baguette, a regular baguette, and I got some coffee. We picked up a few of the pastries to bring home some other family members as well. The place was beautiful and organized and so were the pastries. Everything was good. I had some of the baguette for the next day with some butter and some charcuterie meats for breakfast. read more

This review is for the baked goods, not the location itself. Is it worth visiting? I don't think so because Yountville is where now? They also close early on weekdays (3PM) and close at 6 PM on weekends. There also tends to be a long line. Plus, some popular items tend to run out! You would have to be super dedicated like my friend Eva to wake up at 5 AM to pick up two giant bags of baked goods for her friends. The online menu is different from what they offer on-site. I remember the website didn't have tomato soup, but it was on the physical menu. read more

Saw on social media that when in Napa this should be on your list to stop. It's about 6 miles from central Napa a straight shot and very easy to get to. Nestled in the cute town of Yountville it's centrally located next two other places to eat and have coffee. There isn't an actual parking lot but we were able to find parking quickly on the street for free. As most of the other reviews mentioned. There was a long line to get in and place your order. I would say we were in line 40 minutes or so. It moved pretty quickly though. A lot of people were chatting with each other in line Once you make it inside irs small but filled with so many treats! We ordered a little of everything and it was all delicious! There isn't a place to eat inside so you just take it and maybe put in the oven or microwave for a few seconds just to get it warm. My fav was the danish with raspberry and cream cheese! You can order coffee too if you would like. Definitely make the trip, we went around 6pm and they were still packed so can't say there's a good time to go just be patient! read more

Was in Yountville for their Art Walk, decided to try this bakery after all the hype. Food was nothing spectacular for the price and reputation (I've had better baked goods at down-to-earth bakeshops). I ordered the following: Chocolate-almond croissant:3/5 Ham & cheese baguette: 3/5 Place was clean, aesthetics were good. Staff who took my order wasn't friendly. read more

A must visit once you're in Yountville!!!! My bf and I got a plethora of different bakery items including the baguette, peanut butter sandwich, chocolate almond croissant, and lemon tart. Absolutely DELICIOUS. The baguette and their butter were my favorite part. (They make everything in house) Be prepared for at least a 20 min wait!!! But once you order, it's almost immediate! read more

Yummy pastries all around! Everything I tried hit the spot. I picked up four macarons (chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, and red velvet) and each one was perfectly balanced with a crisp shell and soft, flavorful center. The cream cheese danish was a standout--generously filled and rich without being overly sweet. The pistachio éclair was absolutely delectable, with a smooth, nutty cream that made it hard to share. I also grabbed the Better Nutter and the TKO (Thomas Keller Oreo), both of which were delicious and worth ordering again. The only item I wasn't too into was the Ohoh, though my niece loved it--so it really just comes down to personal taste. Service was friendly and efficient, even with the steady crowd. The bakery itself is pretty small, so expect a line that may stretch out the door, we waited about 15 minutes just to get inside. Still, definitely worth it for the quality of the pastries! read more

This adorable little gem in Yountville had a line stretching what felt like half a mile, and honestly? Worth every single step. We stopped in to see what all the buzz was about and left completely obsessed. Don't let the line intimidate you though, it moves surprisingly fast! The shop itself is tiny but mighty, and the moment you walk in, the smell of fresh breads and pastries hits you like a warm hug. Oh, and did we mention it's owned by the legendary Chef Thomas Keller? Yeah, that's reason enough to plant yourself in that line and not look back. I snagged the monkey bread, a blueberry muffin, and a pistachio macaroon, and friends, I have a pro tip: pop those pastries in the microwave for just a few seconds and prepare yourself for pure, warm, buttery greatness. Everything was delicious and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just right. If you're in Yountville, this stop is non-negotiable! read more

This place is way overrated. Definitely not the place I went to pre-pandemic. Their sandwiches were pricey and there is nothing special about their bread anymore. Their croissants no longer have that lovely flakiness to them that they used to. It was a very disappointing experience. Their long lines here because of their previous reputation and people don't know any better. Don't waste your time or money here and go support another local bakery. read more

Bouchon Bakery is always a must stop for friends, family, and me when we go to Napa. The line moved quickly and excellent staff took our orders and processed purchases professionally and swiftly, as always! Their Kouign Aman is my absolute fav, and I've had my share of Kouign Aman's from numerous bakeries. It's Bouchon Bakery's perfect blend of sweet, buttery, and flaky for me! I finally got to enjoy a Fuhgeddaboudit that my friends have raved about and I ended up devouring this chocolate, sea salt, and caramel Rice Krispies culinary art piece! I also picked up goodies of Netter Better, strawberry and chocolate Oh-Oh's, croissant, and oat meal pecan cookies to treat my family. I tried their cream cheese, flaky pastry, topped with powdered sugar and a cream cheese swirl. Its presentation and taste were exquisite! Until next time, Bouchon Bakery! read more

Service: despite the line, we ended getting served very quickly. Perfect spot to drop in and get a few items to go. Ambiance: super cute! Food: WOW. Definitely a must stop during a day trip to the Napa area. I wish I could've ordered everything on the menu. The place definitely lives up to the hype. I ordered: - a pistachio macaron which was out of this world and massive. One of the best I've had and I've been to France! I really wish I would've ordered more. - raspberry and almond cake pastry: sweet light and creamy - almond croissant: not overly sweet which was actually really nice! Very crunchy and fluffy even after eating it a few days later. (Just bake with small cup of water in toaster or microwave with a wet towel over) A must stop. Hopefully next time we'll get to try the bistro connected to the bakery. We'll be back! Until then I'll be dreaming of that pistachio macaron! read more

I came back to Bouchon Bakery twice in one weekend around 12:15pm on a Saturday, and 10:30am on a holiday Monday - both times were was a line that moved relatively quickly. The service is always quick and efficient, and you order first before paying at the register further down the line. Both times, we were lucky to grab the one open table outside - though typically people move on quickly after eating their goodies so tables open up relatively quickly. This time we tried a few new things: -cheese roll: this was pleasantly cheesy with a bit of a hearty crust on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside -oh oh: perfectly light, not too heavy or sweet dessert -blueberry muffin: this was nice and light, with a good amount of juicy blueberries, and not too sweet -ham and cheese baguette with tomato soup: we got this as part of the restaurant month offering, and were pleasantly surprised by how rich, creamy, and flavorful the tomato soup was! It came out pipping hot, and was nice and thick - perfect for both sipping on and for dipping our toasted baguette sandwhich in. The baguette was perfectly crusty without tearing up the top of your month, and with a good elastic pillowy-ness inside, and there was a decent amount of cheese and ham. Overall, a great meal, especially for the restaurant month price. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other goodies, and highly recommend trying the soup if you're craving something more filling and savory when you're here! read more

The bakery definitely has done well with its branding and marketing, and the easy catering service makes it great for wine touring groups to pre-order lunch to have on the go, but my only complaint is the lack of variety in vegetarian sandwich options. The only sandwich I could get that was vegetarian was a red pepper sandwich, that came with pickled onion and cheese. The sandwich however was thin on the fillings and it was mostly a soft, fluffy baguette type bread. It would be nice if they offered egg salad sandwiches or a tofu sandwich so that us vegetarians can get some protein with our sandwiches as well. And with it being California, there would definitely be demand for that option, if not already. The lunch boxes also come with bottled sparkling water (love), an apple, bag of chips, and a dessert (cookie or brownie). read more

Drove through town and so glad I stopped into this bakery. There was a line when I arrived late Saturday afternoon. It goes fast. The bakery is really small but I loved what I ordered. Ordered the cream cheese Danish, so good with raspberry filling inside. The cream cheese wasn't too sweet, crust was perfectly flaky. Also ordered the raspberry danish. It was delicious. The third item i tried was the better nutter cookie. It was filled with a creamy peanut butter. It was really really good. I'll definitely be back to try more pastries. There's a few tables outside to sit & enjoy your pastries. read more

A go to stop whenever I'm in the Napa area but beware, they always short your macarons so double check your order before you leave. Without fail too, everytime I visit I get at least half a dozen macarons and they always box one or two less. read more

It's been a while since we've been in the area, so we just had to stop by Bouchon Bakery every chance we get. Their baked goods is always good. Their bread and butter is delicious.

Before you freak out about paying $5.75 for each macaron, know that it's the size of your palm. They are super sized macarons which you could possibly share. Also, you're in Yountville where everything costs more. I was disappointed there were only 3 flavors: raspberry, pistachio, and salted caramel. I just read my review from 9 yrs ago stating that they were chewy and stale back then. They still are. However, the texture was different for each flavor, the pistachio one was more crisp, light and airy on the outside, and then moist and chewy inside, the way I like it. The other 2 were more stale and chewy all the way. The line was out the door and I waited 40 minutes, once you're inside you need to make quick decisions, so look online while you're waiting or send someone in to take pics of current offerings so you don't hold up the line while deciding what to order. The other reviews about flies were true on the day I went. They have breads and pastries out in the open and the flies are all over. read more

I do always love my visits to Bouchon. This time was no different. An Americano and a cappuccino. They did not disappoint. I also had the Almond croissant and a moist, delicious cream cheese roll danish. I took to go a couple bags of the shortbreads. A bit pricey at $13 plus for 6 pieces but worth a try and that is what I did. The seating in the outside courtyard was glorious and we were able to enjoy the sun this late morning before it got busy. Such a beautiful visit and walk around Yountville. read more

I stopped by Bouchon Bakery during a visit to Yountville and had a great experience. I ordered the Almond Croissant, Monkey Bread, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, Pistachio Macaron, TKO, Baguette, and Better Nutter. Everything was pretty good. There was a long line out front (as expected), but I planned ahead and ordered online while at a nearby winery. By the time we finished our tasting and drove over, my order was ready. I was able to walk right up and grab it without waiting. That definitely made the whole experience even better. Our group's favorites were the Monkey Bread and Almond Croissant. The baguette was also helpful after a tasting. The total came out to around $42, which felt reasonable for the quality and variety. read more

Amazing! A must visit. It was though so busy that I suggest getting there early if you don't like crowds. We ordered a sour dough loaf to go and a few different kind of croissants. All of which as you would expect from a Thomas Keller restaurant were perfect 10's. Highly recommended!. Wow....so traditional in flavor and crunch. I mean I could eat there all day. read more

We stopped by Bouchon for some desserts after a day trip to Napa! I heard a bit about their giant macarons and as a macaron lover myself, it was a no brainer to go and visit. I got two pistachio macarons, but they definitely hit the spot! The texture was perfect, and the dessert itself was not too sweet. We also got an almond croissant for breakfast the day after and it was still super good. The line was very long the day we visited (Saturday, mid-afternoon). No seating indoors, but there's some spots outside. It was suuuuper hot unfortunately the day that we visited, so we opted to eat them in the car lol. Definitely think it's a bit pricy but worth trying at least once! read more

I've been a fan of Bouchon Bakery for years, and it's a must when visiting Napa/Yountville. This French bakery owned by none other than Thomas Keller, is what you dream a bakery should be. Pastries, bread, coffee, and more. The croissants are perfection. At least until this recent visit. The prices are A LOT higher ( they were already pricey), and the quality isn't what it was. The croissants are about $8.00 each, the macarons are about $6.00 I did notice that the overall selection has been pared down from what used to be an amazing selection of delicious goodies. We did load up on pastries and a currants and cranberries. The bread is fabulous! We were planning on using it for turkey sandos, but enjoyed it with breakfast, toasted and slathered with freshly churned miso butter. Taste sensation! Expect a line. It moves fairly quickly, and the counter staff are pretty pleasant. You select the items you'd like, and like magic, everything is quickly boxed and bagged by the time you check out/pay. They do have tap to pay. It's a pricey stop, and hopefully my recent stop was an anomaly. read more

Long line, but well worth the wait. Small interior yet organized...you know this place is hopping when you see the manager helping out and you see 4 espresso machines!

Got the chocolate almond croissant (light, crisp exterior), cream cheese danish, orange frangipane danish (hint zesty orange with almond cream, lemon scone and a salted caramel iced latte.

One word. YUMMM. My friend and I stopped by for a quick pastry prior to our wine tasting. Boy was I glad I found this place on yelp. Located in a small town, parking was fairly easy in the lot on the side, street, or lot across the way. The storefront and the interior was very cute! Not very big as it was the bakery storefront and the ovens in the back. They had plenty of patio tables and benches outside with trees for shade. We stopped by shortly after 9:45am on a Wednesday. There were only 1 person in front of us, but after we ordered and sat on a bench, the line started to form so we definitely beat the 10am rush. There were so many choices to choose from and it was pretty hard to choose because everything looked so delicious. My friend opted for a pain au chocolat ($6.55) and latte and I ended up getting an almond croissant ($7) and vanilla scone ($5.55) for later. As we sat and talked, we kept going back to how everything in the display case looked so good, especially the macarons. We knew that we weren't going to be able to eat it prior to our wine tasting, but we discussed the possibility of going back after so we could pick some up and bring back to the house since it needed to stay cold. The croissants were so flaky and very pleasant. The almond croissant had the perfect ratio of sweetness and butter. Thanks for also not skimping on the almonds! The vanilla scone I had the next day and I was great! For a second day scone, it did not taste like one for sure. It was also not sweet so I was very happy about that as well. After our tasting, we decided we HAD to go back. Good thing I got a vanilla scone the first time because when we went back at 1:30pm ish they were sold out. I grabbed a salted caramel macaron ($5.75) and a chocolate almond croissant ($7.30) for my boyfriend and my friend grabbed a chocolate and vanilla macaron. All large macarons were $5.75 each. They had a smaller version gift box if you wanted that was $24.30 for 6 small ones. The macaron was so good! The salted caramel was FILLED with caramel and it just hit the spot after a long day (I had it for dessert at night). We were so happy we decided to go back and would stop by again if we are in the area! read more

I especially enjoy the pistachio flavor, but have also gotten vanilla and passion fruit. read more

This was a pretty popular spot because of the line going out the door. The thought of fresh baked breads and pastries can be an addiction because the French take baked breads very seriously according to my French teacher.
