It had been raining two of the three nights we stayed in Yountville, a town in Napa Valley. Tired of all the rain, I was super excited to be woken by sunshine on the last day. Although it was 46 degrees out, I had to take advantage of the sun. I quickly got dressed and took off to explore the town. My first stop was Bouchon Bakery.
Bouchon Bakery was opened in 2003 by Chef Thomas Keller of The French Laundry fame. The intent of the bakery was to provide his restaurants with one of a kind breads. The classic French bakery features a wide selection of artisenal breads and classic desserts.
I was like a kid in a candy store! Once I got in the bakery (people were not kidding about that line), I was overwhelmed by the amount of pastries. They all looked amazing! I was planning to get a savory sandwich so I wanted to also get something sweet. I decided on a cinnamon roll to go with my ham and egg croissant.
If you are visiting and need to bring back souvenirs, the bakery has prepackaged items for sale. For my kids, I bought the Bouchon brownies, a box of the oatmeal raisin caramel cookies dipped in chocolate, and a couple of chocolate covered macarons. Of course, I couldn't leave without a raspberry macaron for myself. The last thing I ordered was a vanilla latte. Everything was delicious.
Bouchon Bakery is a must stop if you are in Yountville and possess a sweet tooth. The bakery is open daily from 7am to 7pm.
