I have a sweet tooth. Right after lunch with my sister, she told me of a spot in Columbus Circle, 59th street stop. I agreed to go. Here is my review of the bakery. 

SERVICE: Waiter is very attentive. He spoke with a very soft calm voice. Clean area. Polite staff. Uniformed. Getting the attention of the waiter was an ease. You simply rose your hand and someone would come to the table.

FOOD: (Chocolate Bouchons) This is a chocolate overload dessert all you chocolate lovers!! I loved it. It is a chocolate brownie dessert shaped like a shot glass topped with powdered sugar. In the side of the brownie lays a scoop of chocolate ice cream on top of crumbled chocolate cookies. Don't forget the side of caramel. It has rich, strong flavors. You can't go wrong ordering this. It also contains that hot and cold combo for those desserts I love.

(Profiteroles) Profiteroles is a dessert in this bakery that is a flaky, crunchy bread sandwiching a rich scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sort of like an ice cream sandwich, only better. This dessert will bring a  flaky melody of flavors in your mouth. Richness of flavors. Optional to put hot fudge on the top. Of course, I had to do it.

(Grown up Soda - Ginger Ale) All I'm going to say is that if you are an adult, please try this. It is an all natural soda 100%. It still taste like ginger ale, only healthier. So please, if you are going to this bakery treat yourself and your date to this.

ATMOSPHERE: Very metropolitan financial district. Modern feel. Calm atmosphere, doesn't give you that rush feel. Other bakeries also can be found all over the 3rd floor. But this place will be found right in the middle. Immediately as you go up the escalators to the bakery you will smell the foods all over the area.

RECOMMENDATION: Yes!! This is a great spot to have dessert with your date. The area would impress whoever you are with as well. Every staff member at the Bouchon bakery is very polite and professional. They make the experience of being waited on a masterpiece.
