Some of the best macarons in NYC with impeccable presentation and generous amounts of filling. My favs are the pistachio, salted caramel, vanilla, jasmine green tea and caramel pecan.
This location, tucked away in Rockefeller Center, serves up the same delicious treats as the other Bouchons. The macarons get the most attention here but we love the Nutter Butter cookies!
Their frosting rocks and for 3 bucks a pop, the cupcakes are well worth it. They also offer a cupcake class which is awesome if you're like us and not a great baker.

Soy based Japanese desserts here and deserving of all their praise. We recommend the black sesame tofu or the green tea crème brulee.
