Grabbed coffee and small bites from Bouchon when visited Columbus circle. They have a seated restaurant open area too which closes early however the bakery/coffee counter is open. Good location for some good coffee or tea.
Counter with coffee and pastries to go just right behind the main sitting area in the middle of Columbus Circle Mall on 3rd floor. Coffee is ok, almond croissant is food, but cheese Danish, sort of killer. Square form, croissant dough and rich cheese filling. Worth to try.
The parfait I had here was marvelous!! Their croissants are also very good. It's a nice place to stop amidst your daily bustle for a light meal and a good view. You can see right into Columbus Circle from the seating area. The staff was also very nice and welcoming.
