Bouley Market has undergone yet another transformation: featuring spectacular fresh-baked goods as well as house-made soups, salads, sandwiches, hot and cold beverages, including coffee, cappuccino, teas, iced teas, and juices, and, of course, Bouley's full range of breathtaking desserts.
The store also has a small espresso bar and some really great values, such as quiches for $4.50 per slice, a croque monsieur for $3.50, and so on. If you don't fancy the fantastic patisserie (at very fair prices), consider some of the other fine baked goods. A variety of organic flours and other flavorful ingredients go into the various breads, from garlic bread, to hazelnut bread, to lemon bread, to the basic Miche, a round of specialty French bread, also known as a boule, with a dark crunchy crust.
Bouley also features pastries, in both traditional and modern French styles along with Viennese, American, and Asian influences, ranging from fruit tarts to chocolate and almond croissants, to enjoy on their own or to cap off and complete the experience of a full meal. The selections change frequently, and these truly innovative and highly creative desserts are sold at very competititve prices.
Finally, you'll find a fine array of select, seasonally available organic products, meats, fish, and cheeses, accompanied by the availability of some prepared packaged products. The chickens and beef are especially delicious, but a visit would not be complete without a container of Bouley's amazing sorbet or ice cream, also sold at very fair prices. And you'll be hard-pressed to find better prices on organic chickens in New York City.
