Tried a few different items from here. First the positives, the plain and chocolate croissants were flaky and made well, baguette was excellent. However, many of their other baked goods were quite disappointing after hearing/reading the reviews. The tiramisu was dry (sponge part), dense and had no flavor. Other baked good were just too heavy & dense, not what I expected from a French bakery read more

Just. Yum. My go to favorite is the twice baked almond croissant. But, the twice baked chocolate croissant is an excellent choice, too! read more

Bakery Nouveau - Chocolate croissant, twice baked almond croissant, and double chocolate chip cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Their twice baked chocolate croissants are crack. The croissant is pretty dense and is packed with chocolate and doughy goodness. There is also a stick of chocolate on top. The inside has almond cream amongst other things. Each croissant is $4.50 which is really quite reasonable given its size and how delicious it is. Go get it! This is literally the only thing I ever get at Bakery Nouveau haha. read more

Love this place. The staff are friendly, and fast. There's usually a line but they keep it moving. The croissants are a must. Also love their chocolate bread. High quality baked goods made with butter. read more

Their macaroons and chocolate are to die for. I also love to stop and get a coffee there. It's a super quaint little store on California Avenue and it's well worth the time to stop by and wait in line to get amazing pastry, a coffee, or anything else that they offer. read more

Generally a fantastic bakery for when you want something special or it's just that day of the week. I love their breads, croissant and assundries. It's not cheap, but what is these days? I will say that I tried the Cap Hill location on 15th Ave a couple of weeks ago and ordered the twice backed almond croissant. It's $7 before tax and tip. It was crushed and mushy, unlike what I normally get from the Burien or West Seattle locations. If I'm at Starbucks, I expect this kind of iffy execution, but I don't expect it from Nouveau. Do better, Capitol Hill. read more

I'd like to climb inside my double baked almond croissant and spend the day. This place is not convenient to my home but absolutely worth the trip for the variety of sweet and savory treats. Everything I've eaten here has blown me away. read more

Wonderful food and desserts. It's worth the price. The place is very cool and artistic as well! :)

Great bakery in West Seattle! Can get busy but it's very popular so worth the wait. Their baguettes are really good and affordable.

Amazing chocolate, pastries and coffee! Friendly staff! Better come early because the line can get pretty long but it does move quickly! Definitely recommend this coffee shop! read more

Every time people come to visit me, I take them here first thing in the morning so we don't have to stand in the line that wraps the building every weekend and to make sure to get our hands on those scrumptious chocolate croissants. Never had a bad thing there...their pizza is incredible at lunch. read more

Sooo good. I love this place. It's where I treat myself when I've had a doctor appointment or otherwise want to reward myself. Everything I've ever tried is delicious. read more

amazing pastries and baked goods. if you walk by you will always see a line. there is a good reason for it! they also have good coffee!

Macaroons are my favorite, but everything is great from the huge deli sandwiches to cinnamon rolls that are bigger than my face. Usually have a line, but it goes so quickly and everyone working is so nice and helpful! read more

Bakery Nouveau makes the best sandwiches, bread, and pastries. Be sure to stop in for a treat and a coffee!

They have the best twice baked chocolate croissants! It's so so fluffy and soft! It's like you are biting into a cloud! They give lots of chocolate too unlike other places! read more

Delightful cakes!!!!! I go in for the pastries and bread, but almost always leave with cake, too. Definitely a fave. Awesome for shared-dessert pies and cakes. Definitely a showstopper! read more

If you are headed here for pastry and coffee, you have just made a good decision. If you have come here to get pastries for your friends or family, or to hit a delicious easy button when making your wife breakfast in bed, you are a scholar and a gentleman. Gentlewoman. Person. Being. Whatever. If you have come here to pick up a cake for an event at which you know people will be assessing the quality of the dessert, or for a person who will absolutely deserve and appreciate the BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE IN SEATTLE, IF NOT THE PLANET, period, well then you are one sloopy frood and you definitely know where your towel is. Don't eyeball me like that- look it up. If you have one of these amazing bakeries in your neighborhood, you are blessed, and your life instantly sucks a little less as soon as you apprehend your good fortune. If you must travel a bit to get here, you are equally blessed and also an honorable martyr to the cause of culinary excellence, to boot. Look: there are other good bakeries in town. Some have good bread, some focus on pastries, some kick it up to full food service. But thus far in Seattle, no bakeries are performing as consistently well or producing such outstanding and innovative staples and confections as the Nouveau stores. And while some comparisons are apple-and-orange (this is mostly French style, and I know there are others) just try this: Ever wondered what it's like to wake up in Paris on a misty early summer morning, and sit down in your three-star working-class international hotel cafe and get a fresh, perfect continental breakfast? Get a couple Bakery Nouveau plain butter croissants and some real marmalade or apricot preserves, a strong cafe au lait, and some real butter and a pinch or two of decent flake salt... I'm not kidding. It's just about perfect. Don't miss this stuff! read more

Fresh delicious flaky and outstanding . We will be back again . The exact amount of butter and salt !

So good! The croissants. The sandwiches. The cakes. All bomb af!! Bakery nouveau is the star baker of Seattle and my go to place for birthday/special occasion cakes. Don't be intimidated by the line because it moves quickly! read more

So amazing. Just cover your and pick whatever, it will be amazing. The twice baked chocolate croissant and the ratatouille sandwich are personal favorites but everything is so good. read more

4.5 stars. BAGUETTE: 5.0 stars. Best I've had in Seattle. Crispy crust. Light, airy interior. CHOCOLATE CROISSANT: 4.0 stars. Chocolate nicely distributed. Flaky and light dough. COFFEE: 4.0. Drip. SERVICE: 4.5. Fast, friendly, and accurate. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Comfortable, with outside seating in front. read more

The almond croissant is my go to every time but I could eat pretty much every pastry in there. Their regular croissant is also amazing. Never tried the chocolates . Their cold brew is also good. read more

Updating my review now that I've branched out to try more savory items as well as their chocolate. Still an excellent place to eat. Their ratatouille sandwich and strata (savory bread pudding) with ground meat both surprised me with how very tasty they were. And while the strata was small, it was very filling. I'd definitely eat it again! Their chocolate truffles re beautiful but on the pricey side at $1.50 per piece (and no discounts for buying larger quantities, like 6+). My favorite overall was probably the yuzu, which was fragrant and delicious. The strawberry balsamic was sweet and tart and perfectly balanced and unique. The earl grey wasn't quite as strong as I was hoping it would be; I felt the same way about the lavender. The ginger lime was solid; citrusy without being too spicy. The Irish whiskey was good. I wouldn't mind trying some more truffles in the future, but it would definitely need to be a special occasion. Upon further retries of their cakes, I have cemented my belief that their frostings are too sweet and too thick. They get almost cloying after a few bites. My husband and I had thought about using them for wedding cakes, but we were glad we didn't after we did several taste tests on our own and with family. read more

Two words : ALMOND CROISSANT. No need to say anything else. So delicious! Store (WS) could be cleaner (flies in the case with the food - oh noooo) and staff are actually RUDE (maybe it's a French thing haha) but the croissant is worth it. Mouthwatering. read more

I am so lucky to live near the West Seattle location. I haven't tried everything, but there isn't anything I have tried that wasn't wonderful. Before you order a breakfast biscuit sandwich: it is SUBSTANTIAL. and delicious. I love their cake. All of it. And shortbread cookies. And service is lovely. read more

Sublime bakery with tempting eye candy pastries that are not only delicious but beautiful to look at. Every morsel every bite is worth it. My favorite twice baked almond croissant. But there are others that are just as passionately my favorites too. You don't just walk out with one...but several. Yummmmmm read more

Enjoy this bakery. We have tried chocolate, various cakes, and cookies. We are planning to come back and try the mocha and croissants. It has always been busy regardless of day, but we will not come back on a Saturday. It becomes overwhelming in the bakery as you wait in line and then are expected to know what you want as soon as you enter. It is probably because of the pandemic and how they are providing customer service. It just doesn't work for our family. read more

Wonderful neighborhood bakery with a world class Baker. The twice baked almond croissants are better than in Paris! You won't be disappointed read more

I'm a local so I'm biased, but we adore bakery nouveau. They do the best croissants by far and their garlic and parm focaccia is to die for. There's not much I don't love on their menu. read more

Been here twice. Decent lines, but they move relatively fast. Got the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant, and kouign amann. All of these are very sweet. The chocolate one was good, the almond was my favorite though. Very sweet and flaky, you can see the mushy sugar and butter fillings inside. Probably not too healthy but amazinggg. The latter was sweet and crunchy. Not sure how else to describe other than that. Also got some sandwiches here. The turkey croissant one was really good, probably because this place specializes in bakery. Come here, grab some food, bring it with you on a hike and you will really enjoy it read more

What an excellent neighborhood cafe. And, it has so many choices - breakfast foods, lunch sandwiches, chocolates & flatbreads. My mouth is watering just remembering the deliciousness. We came here because Yelpers had such wonderful things to say about this cafe. We came twice (both times for breakfast) so I got to sample a number of choices. All told, we tried the Spinach croissant, Cappuccino, latte, Lorraine quiche, twice baked chocolate croissant, chocolate filled French pastry buff and an apple jam pastry. We certainly liked everything we had. The pastries were not too sweet, I'd say semi-sweet, and that's how I like it. The cappuccino was delicious, foamy but also richly caffeinated. There were lots of foot traffic but they were primarily take-outs so the few tables indoor & out front seem adequate to serve the hungry throngs. We have not tried the other cafe in Capital Hill, I wonder how these 2 are different? read more

Some of the best pastries in the area. Definitely hard to leave with only one thing as I always manage to snag at least a loaf of bread (baguette or olive loaf) with my pastry (twice baked almond croissant) and coffee. And perhaps a few macarons end up coming with me too, especially the birthday cake one which was once given to be free on my actual birthday. So 10/10 customer service. read more

I haven't had better croissants. These have flaky individual layers and air pockets filled with scent of French butter. I was surprised at the prices when I first visited because the food looks like art but doesn't cost as much! I also sometimes think I'll pick up some macarons to share (but never end up sharing). I have shared their cakes though! A few different types of macarons with a cappuccino is perfect self care and I savor every bite. read more

Three stars overall. The twice baked almond croissant is very good. But about double what it should cost, and the wait to get them is unworthy. Just one man's opinion. read more

West Seattle resident as of 20 years now. This spot is excellent. Wow. Come by, check it out.

One of the vest places to eat in West Seattle. Great service and the food! Lots of options, cannot go wrong with any items ordered!

I love this French bakery, they also have a full on to go section of sandwiches, pastries, and dessert. I usually go for sandwiches and pick up a loaf of crusty bread. The sandwiches are all on their own baked bread, the tuna salad is fantastic, the BLT has good thick crusty bacon. They have vegetarian sandwiches, huge cookies, and the best macaroons I've had in Seattle. read more

This bakery has never disappointed. It is so delicious and always fresh. I highly recommend.

The classic dark chocolate cake is the BEST. It's not overly sweet and they use high quality dark chocolate. There's dark chocolate flakes around the edge which is nice touch. Best value is the large cake which is only $8 more than the small, definitely worth it. read more
