Well the coffee is similar to Starbucks or Gregory, but the location next to Rockefeller plaza provides an extra star. Tried a coconut pineapple macron and that was nice too.
Bouchon is a French style bakery opened by Thomas Keller so it's not surprising that it excels with dessert and pastries. It was hard to select from the smorgasbord of treats displayed but we ended up with the Oh Oh Cake and two types of macarons. The former was a chocolate Swiss roll enrobed in a hard chocolate shell. It might sound simple on paper but it was a superb dessert especially for those who like their chocolate dark without an overload of sugary sweetness. The cake inside was moist and fairly light, not dense like a mud cake (but it still had a deep chocolate flavour). The cream inside provided some balance to the rich chocolate. For the giant macarons, we chose the rhubarb (seasonal flavour) and the pistachio. I enjoyed both as they were quite different, the fruity rhubarb being a bit tangy with a hint of strawberry, while the pistachio had a nice nutty profile. Texture-wise, they slightly chewy as they should be. Our cafe au laits were burning hot and as you can imagine, did not taste good so feel free to avoid. Absolutely lovely staff who were patient and friendly despite the queues and some indecision on our part. A terrific spot for a break while visiting the Rockefeller Centre though seating might be an issue. But you can always takeaway and eat elsewhere on the grounds of the Rockefeller complex.
