Great cakes and pies and pastries of all kinds! They are a little pricey, but it's well worth it!

Used to love Bakery Nouveau, quality is not as good as it used to be, and service, specially on weekends is lousy at best. I was lucky today, the barista and a couple of their staff members working today have been there for a few years and service was outstanding, but most of the crew is new and lack "work ethics". The Apricot Danish was good, and do was the cream Cheese Danish, their Kouign Amann was too sugary, I think I like crumble & flakes better, and the California Club croissant sandwich was only ok. Coffee was absolutely delicious, the barista that made my coffee takes a lot of pride in making a perfect latte. They use organic free trade Lighthouse coffee. read more

My friends and I were visiting Seattle and I saw this bakery through someone's video and reviews. I was really looking forward to the almond croissant and it definitely did not disappoint! The quiche was also really good and the perfect amount. My friends got sandwiches and the f'd that up!! Overall sooooooo tasty!! read more

Let's just say the bakery is really good and the customer service is even better. They always have something new and interesting to try, and also the reliable items. We've always enjoyed their baked goods and coffee, high quality! After a recent 'issue' the customer service was amazing...it should be a lesson to all small businesses on how to handle customer concern and correct a situation. It's why we will keep coming back!!! Thanks Bakery Nouveau! read more

Excellent!! I love!!!!! I read about this place while researching for what's weird to do in Seattle, some women wrote to must try their double baked almond croissants. Those people are usually only right about 25% of the time, but almond croissants just sound delicious, so I had to look it up. Opened yelp, searched, pictures, bookmarked. Finally came here on the afternoon the day before I was going to leave. Make sure you call ahead to check the line status. I picked as much as I think I can stuff my face with before the food goes bad. So I got the fig tart, peach tart, kringler and of course, the double baked almond croissant. Fig tart had really great crust, but the figs tasted a bit artificial. Underneath was some almond meal crumble. Very nice touch I must say. Peach tart was very delicious! It was an accidental order actually. I just wanted the fig but she grabbed both tarts. Again, awesome pie crust, just the right amount of jelly and sweetness. Great accidental order. Kringler tasted different than how it looked. It looked like a big pretzel, but more flaky. The dough was more of a Danish dough with cranberry and (I think) light chocolate swirls on the inside. Highly recommended too. Double almond croissant. Best I've had so far, really. Besides drowning this in powdered sugar, everything else was just done perfectly. The dough was very flaky and the almond spread was just right, not over powering. Baked with generous amount of sliced almonds on top. Yummmm!!!! I can eat this every day, but then i would be like 300 LBs. Ladies were nice even though they were extremely busy. Small seating area inside. Parking in the rear lot. I will definitely come back if I ever visit Seattle again. read more

Making it official. It's my favorite bakery in Seattle. High quality products that are consistent. The twice baked almond croissant ($3.85) hasn't disappointed me EVER. It is true that lines are long on the weekends and out the door. When it is full here, I have to scramble to catch a glimpse of my options. Caught a break this morning as I was actually able to enter the shop and actually look over everything that was available before ordering. If you are looking for a less harried visit, I would suggest visiting on a weekday when other people are working and wishing to visit Bakery Nouveau. Indeed, the baked goods here make for some good dreams. read more

Over thousands reviews! Thinking what can I add.....Why did I take me so long to check this place out?? Bakery Nouveau definitely falls in with the small bakery shop, just two of them in Seattle area, and really a hidden gem outside of the city. While in Seattle for RnR weekend one day was craving some good fresh pastries middle of the day hold me over till dinner food. Thankfully whenever make trip out to Seattle my friends stay with know all the great food spots around Seattle. They never disappoint! On point again!.!.! Talk about history have no idea that this bakery has been around for long time. Stand the test of time always speaks volume about the quality of the food. I just about beat the rush. The line was pretty much at the door by the time left line went out the front the door. Talk about pastry bliss or never been more lost in choices. I really was craving good macaroon. The selection was amazing. One of the row of display cases was only Macaroons. They had too many choose from but ended up getting half dozen (two of each lavender, vanilla, and strawberry). All pretty amazing. The way they package the macaroons keeps the eye appeal from the case to home. It nice size macaroon not tiny small one but good size. All tasty if had pick one favorite of the three would be the strawberry. I also got couple snicker doodle cookies. I really enjoy. Every display case was mouth watering to the eyes. They also serve sandwiches, pizza, and everything else that can imagine. It small bakery shop but love that personality in any small business. The smell was fresh fresh fresh. You knew as soon as walked in that everything was made that day. Not much seating in the shop just one row and couple tables outside. The service was awesome. The long being long they did great job of moving the line along. My only negative is that since popular spot when it does get crowded hard to see all your choices down the line. Line starts at the macaroons section so much more feel guilty walk down the line see all choices then go back feel like cutting in line. Lucky went with friends so I was able take time walk down see all the options then order. Really for the quality pastries and more not big deal. Not doubt next visit Seattle need come back try more of the goodies. read more

This place is DANGEROUS. You'll walk in thinking, "Oh I'll just grab a quick bite!" and then be stunned by the gorgeous display of carbs in front of you. As for what's good: EVERYTHING. EAT ALL THE THINGS (if you don't care about gaining weight). Seriously, I have never tried anything at this place that I didn't like. Plus they make their own chocolate at their Burien location! Also: really love they they don't charge for writing custom messages on cakes. Granted their cakes are quite expensive, but it's nice to see businesses not nickel-and-dime people every chance they get. read more

Omg, the twice baked almond croissant was so orgasmic that after the first bite, I seriously just sat there in shock with crazy eyes trying to process the magic that just exploded on my taste-buds. As for the other stuff- klutzy counter girl, fairly good desserts, pretty chocolates, skip the macarons in Seattle period. 5 million stars just for the twice baked almond croissant (and get it warmed). read more

Bakery Nouveau has amazing pastries. We stop in here regularly and I'd recommend getting the twice baked almond croissant. It's absolutely delicious. This bakery also has very tasty sandwiches. I got the BLT which is super good. The bread is also very good. I got the baguette which makes for delicious sandwiches. I would highly highly recommend stopping here and trying some of their amazing pastries. I know I'll be back read more

Did you know Bakery Nouveau has some of the best pizza around?? Yep - square-cut, by the slice, deep-dish, DELICIOUS. I tried to get a pic for a long time, my fellow Yelpers.. but you know how Bakery Nouveau is. The line moves so quickly it can get awkward in there! So I was swift, sly and possibly a little creepy with the pizza display. I wish they made a Margherita or four-cheese but that's just me being picky.. Bakery Nouveau is such a gem in West Seattle. read more

Bakery Nouveau is a West Seattle staple! They have excellent pastries from macarons to croissants to cakes. Before Covid it was hard to get (they're mega popular), now it is even harder. But... I'm glad that they're keeping good space and health safe practices. My favorite thing at Bakery Nouveau is their twice baked chocolate croissant. What can I say? It's ooey, gooey, chocolatty, flakey, and delicious. They are a little pricey, but each item really gives you that handcrafted, artisan, high quality feel. The staff has always been friendly. Another thing I appreciate is how good they are at suggestions and how knowledgeable they have been each time. All-in-all I suggest giving Bakery Nouveau a try! read more

This has to be one of the best bakeries I've been to. They have everything from savory to sweet. I for sure gained a couple of pounds after my visit here. This was supposed to be stop 1 for breakfast, but I ended up indulging and ordered a bunch of stuff. I'm glad I did because everything was delicious. 1) Twice baked almond croissant was pretty good. I really liked the almond flavor and it wasn't too sweet. I just wish it were softer. Considering it is twice baked, it's probably not gonna happen. 2) Breakfast Croissant Sandwich was fantastic 3) Pizza on their focaccia bread was a pleasant surprise. I was pretty blown away how good it was. I've never had pizza on a freshly baked, thick, but airy focaccia bread. I instantly became a fan! I only wish there was a location in CA. 4) Macarons were so fresh!. They were really light and soft, so they didn't chip off like the poorly-made ones. They had just enough flavor without overwhelming you with sugar. Parking: Lot in the back. read more

If you have an addiction problem do not order a twice baked almond croissant. You may need to go treatment. Don't let the line down the block deter you, as it does move pretty fast. The Quiche, turkey & havarti croissant... Oh si bon ~ read more

Macaroons were okay, very thick fillings which were satisfying (lot more calories though!) some were too sweet for me. Earl grey is my favorite, not too sweet and it goes well with that dark chocolate filling. Chocolate croissant was really good, the layers are very crispy and not too greasy either. Raspberry mousse cake was sooo good and looks so pretty too. Kinda disappointed that they didn't have passion fruit mousse cake, definitely be back to try that if they got it. read more

I hadn't been to the West Seattle location of Bakery Nouveau in quite some time. The last time I went, I got some macaroons and they were good, not great - a little hallow and crumbly, but still good flavor. Anyway, this time around I got myself a cookie and a twice-baked almond croissant and a twice-baked chocolate croissant and I must say that all three were fantastic. I generally go to the Burien location and I'm happy to say that this location is equally as good. I recently got a twice-baked almond croissant at a different bakery and the flavor was 'good;' however, when you compare that to this... it's night and day. There's complex textures, levels of flavors, great portion size. It's honestly ridiculous how good the croissants are compared to other bakeries Every time I think something else is on the same level as Bakery Nouveau, I'm reminded that it isn't - Bakery Nouveau continues to stand alone. A side note, it was weird that there wasn't much there. The burien location has about 3-4 cases full of different items, when I went to the West Seattle location there was maybe a case and a half. Anyway, it was fantastic. read more

One of the most incredible bakeries in all of Seattle and we are lucky to have them in West Seattle! Their pastries, specifically the twice baked almond and chocolate croissants and the Junction Croissant are so completely amazing! Equally impressive are the bakers/workers/employees they are super helpful and knowledgeable. It's an all around win. You simply cannot go wrong! read more

I would give it 5 stars... But the barista was rude AF & they don't warm up their sandwiches?!!? We got the twice baked almond croissant- delish! Buttery, flaky & sugary. My bf got the cranberry vanilla croissant- nicely sweetened with the tart filling from the cranberry. The girl that took my order was nice& sweet, but the barista that made my latte wasn't. I wanted soy milk and when I requested that I wanted soy & not whole milk (instant bubble gut) she gave me the look of "wtf?... Serious" Oh well. read more

Bakery Nouveau - Twice baked almond croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of those places that can only be described as a miracle. How can every item they have be amazing? Who and when are they waking up and making all of this stuff? It's simply defies logic, the quality of the food here. I once got here, right when it opened and there was still a line? If you happen to be driving by and you see a parking spot in front, you can't help but to stop and go in. If you can get out of there without buying more than five items, you have done well. Did I mention it's good here? read more

I've only had their macarons here for the first time that i went. I wanted to try all the flavors but I had to control myself. My favorite was the pumpkin and the strawberry caramel. So good. Light and fluffy, not too sweet. It's such a cute cozy bakery too. The workers seem really nice and friendly. I even asked for an application to work there because it seems like a great job. Although I might be super tempted to eat everything, haha. read more

Wow. Delicious. Heard lots of wonderful things about this bakery located in West Seattle. The staff is very knowledge about their baked goods. Their cafe Americano was also delicious. Although their cakes seam pricey I bet they are delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be stopping In again when I am in west Seattle. Parking is on the street. Several tables and chairs. While I was there the customer traffic was constant. We ordered a pistachio dessert, some macaroons ( they had at least 10 different flavored). We also ate a wonderful pastry that was similar and flakey like a croissant . Also picked up an apple flaky pastry for a friend. read more

Solid bakery with macaroons, cookies, grab and go sandwiches, cakes, pastries, and more. I like that you can see everything in the cases as you go down the line, so you know exactly what you're going to get. Croque Monsieur $7.19: Sandwich with ham, bechamel, and Swiss cheese. Ask for this sandwich warmed up. Very tasty breakfast sandwich. A little messy because of the sauce in it. Junction Croissant $6.75: Croissant sandwich with eggs, ham, bacon, white cheddar, and bechamel. This can also be requested warmed up. Also a good choice for a breakfast sandwich, but I would give the croque monsieur the edge as I found it to be slightly more flavorful. Turkey Havarti Croissant $7.16: Picked this up in the morning to have for lunch later. Basic as far as ingredients go, but I'd rather have this over a Safeway sandwich. Ham and Cheese Sandwich $7.50: Baguette is nice and crusty. I don't like cornichons so the downside of these sandwiches being ready made is I just have to pick them out myself. Blueberry & Ginger Scone $3: Not the best scone I've had, but the subtle ginger flavor and sugar on top were nice touches. read more

What could I say about this place that hasn't already been said. Just flat out amazing and worth the wait in line. The twice baked almond croissant is perfect if you are craving something sweet, and if you're wanting something savory the "The Junction" was equally amazing. This is a place you should always make time to visit when coming to Seattle. read more

Best croissant I've ever had. Really great customer service as well! Chill vibes all around. 10/10

Omg. Bakery heaven you guys. Order the TWICE BAKED CHOCOLATE CROISSANT. Just do it. It is sweet, flaky, flavorful and so good! It has chocolate and almond cream inside and it's topped with almonds, powdered sugar and more chocolate. I went here because my friends recommended it and I'm so glad that I went. This place was so good I ate here twice during my most recent trip. You can taste the quality in each bite. And by quality I mean butter, but we all know that butter makes things taste better. I also had the opportunity to try the ham and cheese croissant and the breakfast biscuit. Both were delicious and the perfect meal for breakfast! My boyfriend also enjoyed the junction croissant. Pro-tip: ask to have your items warmed up and don't be scared off by the line, it moves fast. The food here is a must-eat!! read more

We ordered 2 cakes (carrot and classic chocolate), coconut & lavender macarons, and some baguettes for our pop up wedding on Alki last weekend. Rachael helped so much to make things perfect, especially since it was all arranged from out of town. Thanks again, Rachael! Everything was delicious! The carrot cake was the PERFECT choice for a wedding cake. Pleasure in every bite! The chocolate cake was rich, dark, not too sweet, and delectably sinful. The macarons were light as air and had the most delicate flavors of lavender and coconut. Wonderful! Even a simple baguette brought the pleasure of a crisp crust, tons of air pockets, and a great chew. So good! read more

Delicious sandwiches and macarons! Staff is always friendly and helpful. I recommend this business for beautiful birthday cakes as well.

Bakery Nouveau has come through twice this Summer for birthday cakes. But what else can we do during Covid but eat, right? Kidding aside, I ordered the seasonal Blueberry Lemoncello cake for my bestie's b'day and it tasted beautiful. Light, citrusy, fresh. Not as heavy as traditional birthday cakes which was great for a hot summer night. As for my 40th, I dropped hints requesting their German Chocolate (which I've had once before) and it soared above my expectations. The top adornment was much appreciated! Can't wait to circle the sun again and do it again next year. read more

Here in Seattle for our family vacation. The kids, hubby and I wanted pastries. My hubby and our youngest went to this little piece of heaven.

Excellent baked goods, quick, friendly service. Not cheap, but worth it! Their Almond Croissant is delicious. We

Delicious, and expensive. The staff is always amazing. Too bad that they don't have room for some tables and chairs.

We dropped by a Friday evening for a quick bite to hold us through the next couple of hours before dinner. My husband and I shared their famous twice baked almond croissant which I highly recommend- perfect textures, crunch with a moist centre and not too sweet. We also had their cheesecake which was pretty good, not too extraordinary. They offer a variety of other sweet and savory baked goods, their flatbreads looked appetizing. They seem to offer macaroons and chocolates but we were slightly put off by the vibrant colors used, which didn't look natural. Overall, I recommend this classic bakery for a quick coffee and snack when in West Seattle! read more
