| - I was so excited to try Bouchon Bakery after reading about Thomas Keller and salivating over the pictures on Yelp. Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was just a tiny little stand (no seating) at the base of the escalators in the Venetian. No matter--I loaded up and took it upstairs to the food court area and then indulged, Vegas style.
Here's what I got:
-Chocolate macaron: (5/5) Chewy and dense, this reminded me of what would happen if a cookie and brownie had a love child.
-Carrot cake sandwich: (4/5) Two carrot cake "cookies" with the frosting sandwiched between. It was very good, although the edges were slightly dried out. I did go in the afternoon, and I assume the stuff was sitting out for a while, though.
-Chocolate Chip cookie: (3/5)
-Roast beef sandwich: (5/5) The chewy bread, the PERFECT roast beef, and something sweet mixed in there (caramelized onions perhaps? idk) was just heaven.
-Chocolate bouchon: Cute and tiny. I didn't get to try this one, but was told it was very very good!
-Chocolate croissant: (5/5) This was the least oily croissant I've had, so it took me a while to get used to it. I really liked the flakiness of the shell and the excellent dark chocolate inside.
-TKO--The Thomas Keller Oreo (3/5) I didn't really enjoy this that much. I thought the cookie was light and yummy, but the inside filling didn't do it for me. But perhaps that's because I don't like oreos to begin with. Why did I get this? Idk. I guess I read so much about it on Yelp. I would only get this if you like oreos.
I do not crave sweet sugary foods (except for fruit!), but I'm glad I tried Bouchon bakery. I'll be back next time to grab another sandwich and perhaps try more of their sweets!
