There's a reason this place is packed and loaded up with people sipping coffee, eating treats, and smiling. It's a great place! It's yummy and delish. Highly recommend! read more

After visiting several more times, I'm really impressed with this place. Their breakfast is amazing. Donuts, quiche, the coffee... It's all super yummy. I want to try everything they have to offer! read more

My go to bakery/cafe whenever I'm down in West Seattle. It's located in a great neighborhood and there's convenient parking in the back of the building or you can always try and find street parking in the front. The place is cozy and the variety of scrumptious food they offer are practically endless. I always order the "Twice Baked Chocolate Croissant", it is perfectly baked. Layer by layer you can see how crisp it is on the outside and as you eat it, it melts in your mouth. I swear, it is hands down the best croissant I've ever had! The macaroons made fresh are a wonderful delight. The flavors are a bit overpowering sometimes (The Rose & Lavender ones) but I would definitely recommend trying them at least once. read more

This place is amazing. Is it a little pricy? Yes. (though maybe not by Seattle standards) but it is worth every penny. We had the coffee (amazing), some kind of chocolate hazelnut cake (incredible) and a twice baked chocolate croissant (you guessed it...fantastic). Don't waste another second reading this....go indulge! read more

This is my absolute favorite cafe in Seattle! The employees are always super friendly and the coffee and pastries are amazing. Best quiche I've ever had! I recommend the goat cheese and mushroom quiche. read more

I have my go to items (cakes and danishes) but I also love their seasonal treats!

Very yummy but VERY pricey. Be ready to spend he extra for the fancy choices. But pretty worth it

It's shocking how infrequently I go here despite the fact that I work minhtes away. It takes a good amount of will not to eat/drink here, at the bakery. They serve a huge selection of pastries, cakes, scrumptious macarons, espresso drink and sandwiches...did i mention scrumptious macarons? I still remember the first pastries I ever bought here...20 macarons! I will openly admit, I ate half of it even though it was to share. They were just amazing. Melt in your mouth feeling. They have a wide range of flavors that allows you to endulge. I'm already giving them 5 stars and I haven't got to the croissants yet! The chocolate croissants are literally to die for. Especially when they're warm...*drooling..sorry. These croissants were made to please. There's nothing to complain about except when there is none left! The customer service has yet to fail me. Very friendly and accommodating. They see you and immediately cater to your needs. Would ask for more from a neighborhood bakery. I've bought so many cakes here that I can't possibly name them all but res assure, they're all THE BOMB. I know it's corny but I'm just stating the truth. If you're in west seattle, go here! read more

We've loved everything Bakery Nouveau makes from pastries to confections since they opened in our neighborhood. Our favorite is their sunflower rye bread, as it's similar to bread we had when my husband was stationed in Germany. They had a fresh batch this past Saturday and I purchased two loaves, excited to get home to eat. It had broken glass in our first bites. So, the reason for one star is, their response was to refund the $12 and give us a gift card, well, it's a $12 gift card. Not so cool for encouraging return business. read more

First of all, the staff here are amazing. Second of all, the food is just superb. I tried the Salami Trio, the double baked chocolate croissant, and the shortbread cookies. Everything was beyond heavenly!!!! This place is such a gem, and definitely a must try!!!! read more

Everything here tastes great. We eat here often. Croissant sandwiches and macaron are impressive and some creative cake flavors and breads or quiche keep us coming back read more

A star in West Seattle for sure! A don't miss in the bakery tour of Seattle due to their high quality, excellent staff, and the setting which brings you back to a Parisian street bakery setting. The owners, using their in-depth background in baking and running a high-quality establishment shows the customer what a handcrafted bakery can do. A definite 'do not miss' on your list for a Saturday morning. Grab a coffee and a pastry and you will not be disappointed. read more

Sure Ill have some chocolate cake.....MMMMMMM OH GOD!!! YEAHHHH....Doh... gotta go change my shorts!!!!

I have only had their sandwiches and I got one for the roomie and he inhaled it! Seriously. I got the croque and heated it up for him and i looked away and looked back and it was gone. Then the dog licked the plate. So that is really three that were satisfied by their sandwiches! read more

This is the best bakery in town. Pecan flax bread is heavenly, their cakes are delicious, and their pizza rocks my socks. Their pizza is creative without going over the top i.e. pizza with peanut sauce or something like that. This place is always busy for a reason. I have eaten many a thing here and have yet to be even slightly disappointed. read more

Mmmm...pastries. The double baked almond and chocolate croissants were what I came for since that's what everyone had recommended. Definitely worth the trip from Des Moines. I also got a baguette and a regular croissant, both of which were delish. The baguette was slightly sour, so I'm not sure if it was sourdough or if it was just how it normally is. In any case, I loved the crisp crust and the chewy innards. And the flaky croissants were definitely the best I've had since forever. I'll have to check out their sammies next time. read more

When I first lined up to get the almond croissant, my eyes and mouth were drooling over the delicious smelling.. yummy pastries. Ahhh man.. wish i could buy one of each :P but no money! T.T However! The almond croissant was very good. Definitely would go back again if given the chance :D read more

YUMMY! Once you have their food you'll be hooked!

The best bakery I've ever eaten at! Comparable to Parisian bakeries with similar selections. Small store and very hard to get a table at the busy times. Coffee drinks are good but not great. Get the twice baked anything! read more

Hard to beat if you love a good bakery. Great for a sat/sun morning. Be prepared to wait, but it is worth it, whatever you order.

This bakery is as good as it gets in Seattle. There used to be three bakeries I would go to for pastries in Seattle. This was one of them, the other was Cake Fuji in Bellevue, and there is the French bakery in Pike's Place Market that's good. Unfortunately, the owner of Cake Fuji retired, so Cake Fuji is no more. At Bakery Nouveau, practically everything pastry-wise is fantastic. The twice baked almond croissant is great, not too sweet, just the right amount of flakiness. Lots of seasonal stuff. The last time I was there, figs were in season, so lots of fig tarts and pastries. Just amazing. Their coffee beverages are pretty good too. Go there on the odd hours if you want seating, as it's limited. The place is pretty busy every time I go. read more

Best bakery in West Seattle, if not Seattle as a whole! everything they make is delightful. Only problem is the line. But I understand this and they keep things moving along. Highly recommended. read more

Not a lot to add to what everyone else has to say. But seriously, a twice baked chocolate croissant? Crazy good. I will have to go back for the almond, but we loaded up on pizza, carrot cake, croissants, and I'm sure some other stuff. Yes, we were carb loading. For a long drive, which everyone knows is a very high intensity activity. Whatever, it was worth it. Kind of infatuated with this place. read more

Phenomenal! This place is really amazing. I bought a cake today and they decorated it on the spot, writing happy birthday and adorning it with macaroons! And it was by far one of the best cakes I have ever tasted! read more

Simply AMAZING. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is because I only tried 2 things. My mistake! I had the 2x baked chocolate croissant, and it was to die for! I've never had such a heavenly experience from a croissant! The almond cream oozing from the inside adds such a wonderful dimension to this croissant, and there was just the right amount of chocolate. I love the simple chocolate bar on the top of the croissant. And the outside of the croissant is sticky sweet and moist, not dry and plain like most croissants. Every bite of this croissant is incredibly delicious and decadent. My boyfriend had the lemon blueberry croissant. Also a very innovative and delicious item. This one is filled with a lemon curd that tastes just right- a little tangy and a little sweet. The top of the croissant is piled with plump and perfectly ripe blueberries. I only wish we had one of these in the Bay Area....but maybe it's a good thing we don't because I would indulge far too often! read more

I have created different disguises now so I can frequent this bakery guilt free. Really you could wear a blindfold in, spin 3 times and point and no matter what you put in your mouth you'd think you were in heaven. I'm partial to the brioche. It's light as air, melts in your mouth with a tiny crispy edge that lingers. Don't forget the crumbs on your face when leaving, they'll be a dead give away. Unless you want yulekaka this is Seattles finest. read more

Heard about this place via word of mouth from local Seattle people, they said its one of the best French Bakeries on the west coast. Went for a late breakfast early lunch and I ended up having the tuna sandwich on a croissant which was great. Had the blackberry pastry for desert which was great. Got a couple of macaroons to go. The only bad thing about this place was the lack of seating and their coffee wasn't the best other than that a great place. read more

When my family arrived at Bakery Nouveau this morning there was a short line. It went through quite fast and were glad to be served quickly as I had two hungry children in hand. We chose the double almond croissant, ham and cheese croissant and the cream cheese danish. The food wasn't as good as all the hype and didn't remind me of my days in Paris. Unfortunately I thought my croissant was okay but not stellar. There is another place in Redmond where I prefer my croissant. My husband's ham and cheese croissant wasn't good, he said, because the melted cheese inside had hardened. Nobody offered to warm it up for me so I can't say if it would've been better otherwise. He said it gave him indigestion all day long. My daughter loved her danish and nearly finished it up. Will update my review if I ever try their cakes or macaroons. read more

This place makes everything delicious!!! Try a new pastry each week, trust me; you won't be disappointed!

Great bakery - soooooo overpriced it's laughable - go elsewhere - it's good but way way way overpriced - they wanted me to pay $25 for 5 danish for example read more

Update: Since my last post I've a) learned that I'm not allergic to almonds (ftw!) & b) I have decided to let meat back into my life again, especially bacon. Anyways, I had a short coffee date at Nouveau recently & finally had the opportunity to have that famous twice-baked almost croissant. Verdict? Delicious. The best? Not sure. I'll admit it was delicious but I'll also admit that since I didn't think I could have almonds till last year I have spent 21 years of my life NOT eating almost croissants so I'll make my decision once I've had a few more. Also, they need more seating! Okay, that's all. read more

The sweet succulent taste of French Macarons are incredible here. I've have several French Maracarons with lack of taste, too sweet, too dense, etc--Bakery Nouveau has perfected the taste and quality of their marcarons. Sandwiches are crazy good too! I don't recall the one I purchased but I'm sure each and every one are just as good as the next. Take your meal to go and sit outside! read more

Amazing pastries. Wish they had more space inside but it's worth the wait for a table to eat here. Loved the havarti/turkey sandwich and the twice baked almond croissant. read more

I come to this place so much, I'd probably be considered a regular. The food is excellent and the staff is really friendly. If you're coming here on a weekend be prepared to wait in line. The dining area isn't too big, so sometimes seating isn't available. Somethings I've ordered that i've really enjoyed are the "junction crossaint", turkey havarti crossaint and their macarons are great as well! I'd highly recommend this place for anyone to check out! read more

By far the best place for pastries in all of Seattle. The twice baked chocolate croissant really stands out, the almond croissant is something like nowhere else as well. They have a ton of different macaroon flavors that are delicious. Great place to grab rolls and pies for thanksgiving too. read more

This place is no Joke. Delicious croque monsieur; the bread was crunchy but not in the rip up your mouth kind of way. It was cheesy, but not in the boy I'll need extra wheat grass and lemon water to purge the cholesterol laden, artery clogging breakfast sandwich kind of way. It was Inviting, Salty sweet thinly shaved ham, and more gooey and crispy cheese. It was Divine. The reason there is a star missing is because, This place is always busy with a line out the door and down the sidewalk. Don't come if you are famished, come when you'll be hungry an hour later. My double Soy latte seem to be all soy and no Espresso. Though the sweet barista was busting ass to make a million drinks on one tiny machine so perhaps it was my bad timing coming in at 9:30 AM Saturday morning. read more

Omg , the croissants are to die for. The twice cooked choc n almond are probably the best I have had

great bakery! Almond Croissants were tasty, Even though we like softer style, the filling was excellent.

It was really hard to decide what I wanted to try here because all the baked goods looked well...good. of course I couldn't resist trying the twice baked almond croissant which was pretty delicious and I got a quiche as well. If only I lived close enough to come back and try everything they have to offer. read more

Got there a lil late in the day, so it was a little limited... I snagged a zucchini pizza.. I wish I could say I was a fan, but it had maybe a goat cheese or a feta that was stinky and ughhh... I was not a fan... that aside they were out of almond croissants so I opted for a Kouign-amann it was to die for... I may prefer it over the almond croissants. CRISP, FLAKES, BUTTERY, GOOEY YUM. They also had house made syrups for Italian soda... guava, passionfruit, strawberry rhubarb. I ended up with a cherry raspberry... again... yum... read more
