A perfect place to sit down and relax after wandering around downtown. The atmosphere is cozy and the sweet treats + drinks are good. Service was quick and polite. Annoyingly, there is only one bathroom per gender so there might be a bit of a wait but other than that, this place is wonderful :) read more

Because of Belle Pastry, my father learned the gender of my baby from a receipt on a box of his gender reveal pastries he picked up from them. Insane incompetence. I spoke with them on the phone 5 separate times about making GENDER REVEAL pastries for my father to pick up because I do not live there. I must have said I don't live there and that they are a GENDER REVEAL therefore a SURPRISE at least 5 separate times. I was instructed to have him pick up the gender reveal pastries after 10am. An employee even called me THE DAY OF to ask when I was picking them up and I again reminded them very clearly that I am not picking them up, my FATHER is picking up the gender reveal pastries because I do not live there. He arrived 30 minutes later and what does he pick up? A box with a note saying exactly this: "Individual blueberry cream cheese croissants (done like raspberry cream cheese croissants)." Unbelievable. The surprise is ruined. I might as well have asked my assistant to Instagram message the gender of my baby to my dad. That would have been more personal. Instead he learned from a receipt for croissants that he was forced to pick up because this bakery refused to deliver it to them. So my father who I haven't seen in over a year because of the COVID risk, risked his health to go in an enclosed space and pick up these pastries, because again they would not deliver them. Then, apparently no one could find the pastries for him because they wrote my first name on the box and not my last name, even though I said approximately 5 separate times that my father was the one picking up the pastries. After all the confusion, they finally gave him this box, where my father learned the gender of my baby on a croissant receipt. Speaking to the manager, she said she will refund me the price of the croissants. That they're only offering that is shocking. A momentous life event completely destroyed by these people. read more

Belle Pastry has been serving the Old Downtown Bellevue on Main Street for more years than I can remember. The current location is its bigger and newer shop. I like the expanded savory options. Sweets! My favorite is the Opera Cake, then chocolate croissant, then maybe a mandolin. It is a French bakery after all. The cakes are quite rich, so I've never tried to buy the whole cake for a birthday or some such occasion. I've only had cake slices. Savory My favorites are their quiches. For grins, I tried their gluten free quiche during this visit, which is a quiche without the puff pastry. To my surprise, I liked it!! It tasted lighter, healthier, and it has more filling, which is my favorite part anyway. This option was a salmon one. I'm definitely getting more of that in the future. This location has parking in the back. in a separate building, access from Bellevue Way or through the little alley way. read more

I was very excited to try this pastry shop as all the pastries looked so cute and yummy and reminded me of the patisseries from my travels. Sadly I had a bad experience, the service person was unfriendly and not helpful. I asked questions about the pastries and was met with almost contempt. 0/10 customer service. I would not return and will not recommend. I got a tea and realized I didn't receive a sleeve, I asked for one and she dropped it on the table. Maybe put them in places individuals can reach them easily so we don't have to bother you? I would recommend training staff on treating all customers the same and not based on their skin color. The lighter family behind me got great service which I found interesting. I got the eclairs 6/10, tiramisu 5/10, cinna bun 7/10, fruit tart Overall will not be going back as I felt extremely uncomfortable and can probably spend my money in a space more welcoming. it is a cute spot! read more

Four stars for the friendly service and stuff, variety of food choices, community friendly. I am not a fan for their coffee. But still a great place for talking, gathering and take some food. read more

I've been going here since they opened! They're my favorite bakery in Bellevue. (Although I'd skip the drinks!) I love, in no particular order: - raspberry cream cheese croissant - pain aux raisin - ham and cheese croissant - plain croissant - Black Forest cake - turkey croissant sandwich Have been meaning to try the danishes too! And last winter, I ordered mini croissants, tarts, and sandwiches to serve at a party. The food was a great success, and was ready on very short notice too. read more

I'm a bit disappointed with this place. It's a really quant little shop that has European vibes in the heart of Old Town Bellevue. From the outside and even inside, you'd think it would be super delicious and relaxing for a weekend morning. Unfortunately, their iced americano wasn't very good, their breakfast croissant was sad, and they turkey sandwich had the hardest artesian bread I've ever eaten. Also, the service wasn't all too great, friendly, or patient. Everyone kind of seemed all over the place, and confused where to get their food versus drinks. It was an OK experience, overall. I likely won't go back very often. Giving it 3/5 instead of a 2/5 since the desserts looked bomb and people hype them up... read more

Belle Pastry - Sad breakfast croissant - Cafes Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Unfortunately, I've had a bad experience as so many other yelpers. Long story short- the ground is so icy today I didn't want to drive to belle to try their macarons, so I decided to use doordash. After trying to order 4 or 5 times but continually getting the same weird message (something about the store has so many orders, no more deliveries can be made), I just called them. The person who answered said the owner would be in shortly and I could call back to speak to them. I did as she instructed and the man that answered spoke to the owner on my behalf and said I'd need to call doordash to handle it. Called doordash and went back and forth for awhile but we finally figured it out. I got a total of 14 macarons, but when my order came, there were only 10. When I called belle to notify them of this, the girl said somebody must not have scrolled down on the page and missed the rest of the order... then it got awkward because she didn't offer much of a resolution. Oh, also before my 10 came I got a call saying they were out of one of the favors I had ordered so I switched them out for one they had. Then when I called back to say items were missing, she told me they also didn't have the flavors I didn't get delivered because they quit offering it. Cool. In the end nearly an hour later I got the missing macarons but unfortunately none of them were very good. Super inconsistent with either way too crispy and old tasting or very soft and falling apart, and finally so chewy I couldn't finish them. The flavors were also... weird. Either tasted like mostly nothing or tasted like what it should've but too sweet. I won't purchase from here ever again. read more

Sweet tooth paradise! This French Bakery has been in old Bellevue downtown for a while. This is always the go-to dessert shop my friends and I choose. They have a pretty good selection of pastries and cakes. My favorite has been the pear caramel mousse, a little bitter and not overly sweet. I just recently discovered the royal is pretty good, the dark chocolate mousse. Today, I had the royal and Americano. My daughter had the creme brûlée, which the custard tastes like actually eggs & milk. They were both delicious. As for the prices, it's so decent compared to some of the competitors around the area. Just stopped by the French Bakery next to Just Poke, their pastries were around $10.. which we said no. You can have the cakes here for a half of the price. Yes!! Highly recommended! Come stop by after early dinner. read more

Great pastries and excellent service! I love their sammies - especially their egg salad (you get a choice of baguette or croissant)...it comes with lettuce and tomato and is made fresh. Their quiches are also delish, as are the sweet pastries. Don't miss this local gem and support small businesses! read more

Belle Pastry - Always the best pastries! And, don't miss their savory sammies (love the egg salad on a croissant!) and their quiche! - Cafes Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Was feeling hungry for lunch and have some friends over so ordered from Belle Salmon Quiche, Quiche Lorraine for breakfast, more croissants for lunch as I have some turkey here for friends and a Ham and Swiss croissant for me. Excellent presentation when I opened the box beautiful croissants looking back at me. I like how the quiche style individually is. Excited to try those and now off to make sandwiches for friends! read more

So this weekend I've finally decided to try out this place after walking past it everyday. The service was great, Audrina was super friendly and knowledgeable! She recommended the blueberry tart and it was delicious. Definitely coming back to try out the other items. The environment was clean and welcoming! read more

Pros: - Very reasonable prices considering it's downtown Bellevue (only place I've found with a latte under $4 these days) - Huge variety of pastries and drinks - Free wifi and parking - My spinach and feta croissant was amazing but everything looked good - Nonfat lattes are risky taste-wise. This one was good - Cute aesthetic and cozy inside - Outdoor tables Cons: - Barely friendly customer service, overall just really cold. That alone may be a deal breaker for me coming again - No latte art. But not a big deal. read more

Do not recommend this business at all! I ordered peach crumble and raspberry Napoleon. Found hair on one of the pastry, the peach crumble was not fresh at all, same for the Napoleon. The pastry on the Napoleon were soft and gooey! And when I asked to get another one, it was the same and the server took my fork. When I asked for a new fork, she said they were out of fork and tell me to get a plastic fork. I can't eat the pastry with plaster fork because of the texture. Either too hard or too gooey! Please avoid this business! I used to buy cakes here very often, but not won't come here anymore read more

I've come here several times. Not coming back. Never met a more depressive group of employees at a café (or any restaurant for that matter). Either the manager has no idea how to train their employees on customer service, or there's something wrong with their employee culture, or they've hired some quite awful folks. Also, since you're a bakery, you might want to learn how to properly heat food items that your customers purchase. The food is partially heated and stale often times. read more

Nice place to have a coffee and breakfast. Tried the vegetable quiche, almond croissant and had the coffee. Everything was good. The almond croissant was not too sweet, as some tend to be. Tried the salmon quiche a different time and prefer the vegetable. The sweets are very tempting as well when you are hungry. read more

The best!! Everything is made fresh and lots to choose from. Easy parking and everyone is attentive and nice.

I was in the neighborhood today and decided I NEEDED some macarons from Trophy cupcakes and bakery. Got there and realized that they were closed and that's my little story of how I discovered this gem! The interior is super cute and spacious, I'm sure it was a very lively place before quarantine. I ordered a blueberry tartlet, raspberry tartlet, and some pistachio and raspberry macarons. The macarons were a bit inconsistent in their shape and size but delicious nonetheless! The blueberry tartlet was a bit tooooo sweet for my liking but the raspberry hit the spot perfectly! I read some of the reviews and noticed people recommending the almond pear tartlet, so next time I'll surely be ordering that! Pistachio is my favorite flavor in macarons and the consistency and texture of it was perfect. The Raspberry flavor was good but tasted a bit stale, with a crunchy hard exterior instead of the marshmallow-y bite a macaron usually has. Really glad to have found another high quality bakery so close to home. If you like binge-watching Food network baking shows, definitely recommend you check this place out! They won't disappoint read more

My sister in law had sweetly sent this via Door Dash as we celebrated my niece's birthday from afar and we were blown away by the pastries! The bread pudding was wonderful, the black forest was moist, and the pear caramel pastry wasn't overly sweet and was well balanced. I regret not going here more regularly but will definitely plan on frequenting it during birthday celebrations. The pastries we sampled were not only as good but might argue better than Bakery Nouveau. read more

First and last time at this bakery/ cafe. Looked pretty nice from the outside ND they had a good variety of cakes and other baked goods, we decided to try a couple. Got a slice of Black Forest cake and a chocolate cream roll, and was super disappointed. The Black Forest cake was super dry and hard and felt like it had been sitting out for days. The cafe itself is pretty big and has a lot of seating area. Nice for groups to hang out. I wish the food was better. read more

This place was always pretty expensive but considering location and taste of the pastry they have we are visiting every now and then. Last time we visited yesterday, Google said they are open until 7pm. We were there sometime 5:50pm or something. Ordered some pastries and coffee they handed over to us in to go boxes about 6:05pm and said please head out your way as we are closed already 5 mins. When I said that well Online sources were saying you are open until 7pm you did not warn us when we were ordering, guess what was the answer? (I know ). I understand that you staff may be underpaid and does not care about your business at all but pushed out a customer already. Hope you prosper this way. read more

I've been here before, and my experience was fine...but NOT this time. I went in on October 4th, planning to pick up some fruit tarts and creme brulee's for my sister's birthday. I bought two creme brulees and two fruit tarts. When the person behind the counter picked up the creme brulees, I noticed that they were a bit watery, but I thought nothing of it. Apparently, they had just made the creme brulees. Anyone with common sense, and especially anyone who works at a bakery should know that creme brulees need to set in the refrigerator for at LEAST few hours, if not more. I don't know what was going through the people who worked there when they set out these UNDER COOKED CREME BRULEES to sell. They didn't even warn me, and just boxed up those watery creme brulees with the fruit tarts. Of course, upon returning home and opening up the box, the desserts were RUINED. The creme brulees were so liquidy that they had spilled ALL over the box. Not only were my creme brulees ruined, my fruit tarts were ruined too because they were in the same box. It was a disgusting, sticky, terrible mess. Seriously. Who sells an under cooked creme brulee to a customer and then acts like everything is going to be fine??! Ugh. AND those desserts are hella expensive! Such a waste of money. And my plans to give them to my sisters 20th birthday were ruined. Thanks a lot Belle Pastry. Definitely not coming back anytime soon. read more

What a disappointment. I've been a few times at the old location & always thought it was good. But this time, wow. Not that busy. In fact the employees were standing around chatting. So the problems: all the available tables were dirty, sticky, left plates. Next, the woman at the counter was rude, not helpful, to personality at all. Trying to rush us when they're not even busy. Another issue, bathroom was dirty. And most importantly the food was disappointing. The chocolate on the eclair was so sweet! My daughter took the chocolate off!! I tried it and it tasted like pure sugar. The lemon cake was terribly sweet. We had to toss it because we all hated it. However the pumpkin Danish was pretty good. But we're not coming back. Rude service is unacceptable. read more

Belle Pastry - Lemon cake - way too sweet - yuck with pumpkin Danish & cinnamon sugar donut holes. - Cafes Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Visited this place for the first time, not to mention - kind of excited. But as soon as we step in, the "Barista" dude (Asian) was the rudest person ever. Not even a "Hello", but instead picked on my 2 year old son for not wearing a mask. Well - folks sitting a few steps away from me weren't wearing a mask either. I believe the mask requirement only applies to those older than 2. Anyways, staff members during night shift are not friendly. Total rude bunch of people with no customer service experience at all. This is the first and last visit for sure. The pastries were dried out and not tasty at all. We got a couple of cakes and those were dried out. Tasted like cardboard. read more

Black Forest was awesome and is a must try. We also got a macaron, but felt the frozen ones from Trader Joe's were better. Lastly the coffee was disappointing as well. Overall, seemed promising but was more of a "not all that shines is gold" kinda spot. One nice thing they did was replace my coffee voluntarily when I didn't pick it up for a while. read more
