    I havent had this place in years and I am glad I came back to eat and get some goodies. It is busier and better than I last had them too! Upon arriving, I was surprised to see a line during the early lunch rush. Years ago, there was no line and I was able to get a seat and treat in no time. Now, it took about 15 minutes from end of line, to deciding, then ordering. I also ordered coffee which took about another 5 minutes. I was lucky to even snag a spot. I ordered a quiche and a Cardamom Latte to enjoy there. Quiche was light, fluffy, and crust was perfectly flaky. Loved the option for medium or dark roast for a latte. Latte was just the way i liked it with a hint of cardamom. I ordered a chocolate pie to go and individual chocolates. Despite their tiny size, it was $3 per individual chocolate, so it was a bit overpriced. Chocolate pie made sense for $9 and didnt taste overly sweet nor was the crust hard to bite into. My SIL hasnt been by here in years and either and raved how good the sandwich and pies were as well. Overall, we both will be coming back again soon. Its a good spot to catch up, wind down, and enjoy some good coffee and treats on a Sunday early afternoon.

    I LOVE Bakery Nouveau. My sweetie was raised in a predominantly French household so we are always on the hunt for baguettes and croissants. Baguettes and croissants, baguettes and croissants....I guess that's what it's like to be French. So Nouveau is a godsend from the pastry gods (and the latte goddess as well) and we even bring his tres picky mere here and she loves it too. If you can please that woman, you know you're doing something right with your butter and flour.

    See through floor

    This location is far nicer than their other locations. Easily accessible with their available parking lot. The layout is larger than the Capitol Hill location. I like see the through floor section looking into their industrial mixer. Offerings are similar to their other locations. I always get their twice baked almond croissant, kouign-amann, junction croissant, and ballet cake. In addition to pastries on the go, I've also ordered their seasonal blueberry limoncello cake for my father-in-law's birthday. This was an advanced online order and I highly recommend visiting their website for a full list of available cakes. They also have various selections of macarons, sablés, chocolates,. and other seasonal items. They also have savory pastries which are perfect for lunch on the go.

    Good to start up...

    Stopped by Bakery Nouveau for a quick breakfast and ordered the Ham and Cheese Croissant with a cappuccino -- and wow, it was exactly what I needed to start the day! The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, filled with Black Forest-style ham, melted Swiss cheese, and just the right amount of creamy béchamel. Savory, rich, and satisfying without being too heavy. The cappuccino was smooth and well balanced, with beautiful foam art on top. The display case was full of tempting pastries (I'll definitely be back to try more!), and the service was quick and friendly. A perfect morning treat.

    This bakery offers a wide variety of croissants and pastries as well as savory items. I got the brisket and cheese sandwich and the cinnamon roll. I got both heated and was only disappointed my sandwich wasn't warm all the way through. The workers there are so nice and had I eaten in person I probably could have asked for it to be heated more. The croissant was perfection though! So buttery and flaky. For a coffee, brisket sandwich and cinnamon roll my total cost was close to $30. Since I was visiting from out of state, I wanted to try everything but the prices are a little steep. Definitely recommend if you're coming from the airport or in the area. You will not be disappointed. There was a short line when we arrived but it went fairly quickly. The ambiance is similar to a bakery cafe. They have a few tables to sit at but not nearly enough space for the crowd that comes here.

    Great ambience, delicious treats and tons of selection! Prices are bit high but warranted due to the vast array of goodies they offer. Coffee was average but better than the supply chains. My favorite was lemon meringue tart yummm

    THE chocolate cake
    Serena S.

    It's places like this that the phrase "died and gone to heaven" was invented for! We had family in town so we preordered their signature cake to bring to family in Portland (ex Seattlites, still in love with Bakery Nouveau and familiar with all three locations, can't show up without this specific item, and they don't even have to tell me!) and then also picked up several treats for breakfast, both sweet and savory. The Junction Croissant is my favorite, hands down THE BEST. I will order it every time, assuming it's not sold out yet. The delicious melty cheese perfectly holds together the soft and scrumptious scrambled eggs amid the bed of ham slices with crispy bacon topping it all and bookended by to-die-for croissant pieces. The twice baked chocolate almond croissant is also a must. Then if you're lucky, aim for (in no particular order and not necessarily what we got this time around...): the maple sausage in a croissant (rarely available); brisket sandwich; ham and cheese croissant; pear tart; every other sweet in the case, and go ahead and grab a Brie based sammy for later (make sure to warm it when you're ready to eat it). When you visit the shop, please do be positively DELIGHTED by the floor window gazing down into the vat of chocolate below, whether the vat is full and spinning or empty, and no matter your age... who wouldn't want to imagine themselves swimming in a personal fondue fountain tub?! (That's not what it's there for, health code, but we all dream it was so...). Enjoy a lavender latte or warm beverage and if you can grab a table to dine at, do so and have fun people watching and the myriad of orders passing by as you note everything you'll want to try the next 1800 visits you inevitably will want to have if your future! Did I mention this place is good?!

    Cream Cheese Danish, Cinnamon Roll, Smoked Chicken Sandwich
    Ruby S.

    If you're looking for amazing fresh breads, pastries, coffee, espresso, gelatos, macarons, and sandwiches that's near SeaTac International Airport, must visit Bakery Nouveau. Cream Cheese Danish was a light, flaky, fluffy pastry that upholds structure very well. Cream cheese tasted light. Raspberries and blueberries offered a natural sweetness. Smoked Chicken Sandwich is extraordinary. Light. Great sustenance for early or late riser. Cinnamon roll is soft on inside and edges are flaky. My son said twice while cutting his cinnamon roll, "I'm happy!" Workers are friendly. There's an indoor restroom. Highly recommend.

    Ask the Community - Bakery Nouveau

    Are there any gluten free items?

    I believe so....but I'm not sure. Call them at 206-923-0534 (West Seattle), or 206-858-6957… Read more

    Does Bakery Nouveau have WiFi?

    It's a bakery, not a coffee shop. Not enough tables, WIFI would encourage people to linger. Need to turn over the tables!

    How long in advance would you need to order a bday cake?

    I'm there a lot. I know they have a 48 hour policy for special orders, so if you want to pick it up by 5pm Saturday, get your order in by 5pm Thursday. They also return calls so leave a voicemail if they don't pick up.

    We stopped by Panterelli after the West Seattle Sunday Farmers Market, wandering in after hearing…read moreabout the best Choux pastries in Seattle. There weren't any other customers inside and we were greeted with an empty display case in the front. While barren, the owner, a gruff* French gentlemen, confirmed that he still had choux pastry left with a choice of either vanilla, coconut, pistachio, or hazelnut. We decided to go with the pistachio, which he assembled fresh for us, first by piping pistachio cream inside the choux shell, then dipping in melted chocolate and sprinkling pistachio on top. Pistachio Choux ($6) - The choux is excellent, baked until deliciously crisp on the exterior while the inside remains soft, eggy, and tender. Since it's fresh filled and we ate it right afterwards, the cream never migrated to saturate the crust - I suspect people with issues with mushiness probably let the cream puff sit too long before consuming. The cream, which is piped to the brim, pushes out against the delicate shell, causing each bite to almost squirt out a bit of the luscious, silky whipped custard. The cream coats the lips and mouth with a layer of fat. It's not too sweet and has a light nutty pistachio flavor. The melted chocolate the top is dipped into glues on all of the pistachio dip. The chocolate is slightly bitter, yet sweet, so it helps cut through some of the rich silkiness of the cream. The pistachios on top act like a crumble, perhaps pulverized and melded with butter to create a very rich yet pistachio forward mix. It's strongly flavored, and the chocolate creates such a strong cement that none of the nuts detach while eating. (5/5) Panterelli was a huge surprise as it wasn't even on our radar until we walked past the shop randomly while exploring the Farmers Market. It's a definite revisit in the future! *The owner isn't nearly as welcoming as a typical American small business owner, but is certainly friendly and eager to chat. I also love his attitude - looks aren't that important; it's the taste the reigns supreme!

    Went on a walk and randomly walked into this shop and met Jacques. He immediately asked me if I was…read morethere "for the Choux" and I said no, but after telling him that I like to bake and have always wanted to try making Choux, he said I must try his. He made a great americano and made me the best little Choux bun. We ended up talking for 10 mins and now I feel like I have a new favorite local spot. Can't wait to go back!
