This bakery was located right outside our tower at the Venetian, and the long queue made me curious to try their pastries. As usual, I ordered an almond croissant ($7.75) and a caramel latte ($8). Overall, the croissant was alright—neither as bad nor as great as other reviews suggested. I felt they overbaked the dough, and the filling was a bit dry, but they were quite generous with the almond filling, and it wasn’t overly sweet.
The latte was better than Starbucks, and while it’s pricey, I was pleasantly surprised by how large the drink was. It had a noticeable caramel flavor without overpowering the coffee.
Bouchon is supposed to be a highly rated bakery, but they couldn’t even get a hot mocha right. It was watered down and easily one of the worst I’ve had. The hot cross buns were overbaked and too dry to enjoy. Nothing here impressed me, and I wouldn’t come back.
The fruit Danish featured a beautifully flaky, buttery croissant pastry with a perfectly balanced amount of rich cream filling that complemented the freshness of the fruit. The elegant touch of edible gold flakes elevated both its presentation and indulgence.
I was also fortunate enough to try the blueberry muffin, which was generously sized and filled with fresh, juicy blueberries. The center was incredibly moist while the top had that ideal delicate crispness—exactly how a great muffin should be.
Paired with a freshly brewed cup of Equator coffee with oat milk, the entire experience was delightful from start to finish. The staff was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, offering wonderful recommendations and making the visit even more memorable.
A truly worthwhile experience that I highly recommend.
Definitely the best croissant in Las Vegas!
I only tried their classic croissant, it was perfectly flaky, buttery, and so fragrant. You can even ask them to warm it up for you, and it tastes absolutely heavenly right away!
The bakery has such a charming and elegant vibe, everything feels well-made and authentic. A must-visit spot if you love pastries or just want a little French moment in Vegas.
The place is harry potter hidden under some stairs. Took us 30 mins to even find it, there's no signs or anything and a lot of other ppl said the same thing. The food was good I enjoyed the croissant and my husband liked the breakfast sandwich. The cream cheese Danish was good. The line moved really fast which was good. The oreo copy thing was sort of gross to us. Tasted like char. Not mad about coming here but wouldnt again. Theres also nowhere to sit in the area but there's a food court up the stairs with tables.
