Bakery Nouveau in Burien is our non-negotiable stop every single time we head to Sea-Tac. Skipping overpriced airport food for this place is the best decision you can make before a flight. The Highlights * Croissants: Unbelievably flaky, buttery, and fresh. * Pistachio Apricot Tart: Absolutely amazing--the nutty pistachio paired with bright, sweet apricot was incredible. * Pizza: Don't sleep on the savory stuff. The bakery-style pizza has a great crust, delicious sauce, and generous toppings for a perfect pre-flight lunch. The staff keeps the line moving fast, the vibe is bright and welcoming, and the food never disappoints. read more

My favorite bakery in the most dangerous location in Burien. Not dangerous because of crime. Dangerous because it's directly across the street from my gym. Nothing says "great workout" quite like immediately replacing every calorie you just burned with one of Bakery Nouveau's twice-baked chocolate croissants. I prefer to think of it as strategic carbohydrate replenishment. Everything here is exceptional. The pastries are buttery, flaky, and somehow manage to ruin every grocery store croissant for the rest of your life. The coffee is excellent, the staff is consistently friendly, and it's one of those places where it's impossible to leave with only the one thing you came in for. The neighborhood feels safe, parking is plentiful, and the only real hazard is convincing yourself you deserve "just one more pastry." Five stars. My spin instructor may disagree. Bakery Nouveau is worth every extra minute on the bike. read more

Ordered a BUNCH of different pastries and sandwiches to share and loved every single one of them. Everyone's favorites were the almond and chocolate croissants, which we were told that's what they're well known for here! read more

The service here is always top notch. Every employee I've spoken to is friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee is also delicious. I love that they make their own chocolate but I have yet to try it as I can't justify spending that much money on a chocolate bar. My favorite item is the twice baked almond croissant. The chocolate is delicious as well. They've gotten much better (in Burien, at least) at dialing in the perfect toast and not over doing it to make it a bit dry and bitter. I'm already planning my trip to pick up some more croissants! read more

KEVIN! The most helpful, informative, and kind worker I could imagine boxed up my many pastries, offered suggestions, and made me feel quite at ease despite the hustle and bustle and seemingly endless options I faced. This bakery boasts a beautiful view of the chocolate mixer beneath an ornate glass floor panel. There are several cases of sparkling and shiny chocolates that while I'm sure are wonderful, did not catch my eye as much as the pastry case. There are two cases with a large variety of chocolate, fruity, and nutty creations from which to choose. I got the bread pudding, a lemon meringue, pecan chocolate, and so many more for a delightful collection to bring to a gathering and the crowd was PLEASED! Every bite was full of textural and flavor delights and I am devastated I don't live closer to enjoy it more often. Thank you Bakery Nouveau for a wonderful experience that I won't soon forget! read more

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. read more

After almost 10 years I'm still a fan of Bakery Nouveau. You can just chill and drink coffee and have some of their fantastic pasteries. It's a bit hidden in Burien, but you can find it as the downtown area isn't that big. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I'm a regular at the Bakery Nouveau West Seattle location and the Burien location also keeps up the name. I got the Twice Baked Almond Croissant which is a must have and so delicious! I also got the Ham and Cheese Croissant. The staff were very prompt and friendly. The decor is very charming and clean, it can get busy on weekends so we couldn't get a table but there was additional seating outside. They have a glass floor which lets you take a peek at how it's made on the inside. Definitely recommend going for some sweet and savory treats! read more

OMG! Pastry was AMAZING. Much less expensive than a flight to Paris and JUST as decadently delicious.

The pastries are full of flavor.. Love the double almond croissant and the tarts are absolutely incredible. The coffee is pretty good. It is quite expensive. Not necessarily a sitdown place as it is very limited and seating . Love to splurge and treat myself when I'm in the area nonetheless! read more

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 read more

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?! read more

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. read more

I called on a Sunday morning wanting to put a hold on a whole chocolate cake as I know it is so in demand. I left a VM, and I was surprised to get a call back although I was told they can't put a hold on only 1 of 2 such cakes available for sale first come, first served though. I needed it for my son's 21st birthday party, so I said I was driving in then. There was a line outside the door on that Sunday morning, all for people wanting their great cafe food. But I got the chocolate cake for the day, and I was so very happy! I had them write a greeting and it was by far the most nicely written greeting on a cake I've seen in my 50 something years! And the cake was just perfection! Every bite, the looks, the shards of dark chocolate and the 2 pcs of French macarons on top. Every detail was just flawless. Pricey at $65 for an 8 inch but that cake was wiped out of the buffet spread. And everyone that had a bite was all complements! I won that day though, because aside from the chocolate cake, I also got a pizza slice and a quiche to share with my husband. We got a mini date on my cake pickup errand and everything was so delicious! I am a big fan, Bakery Nouveau! read more

The worst and rudest customer service I've ever experienced for average baked goods. Coffee was good. But I was ordering with my friend and we had two people helping us and I asked to add one more thing to my order and the guy helping my friend rolled his eyes and pointed and was like "then you can ask her" terrible first impression especially being there with my young baby. Kindness/patience costs nothing. Overpriced food and drinks with terrible awful service. read more

We tried several pastries at Bakery Nouveau and really enjoyed everything! * German Chocolate Cake Slice: The chocolate cake layered with coconut, pecan, and caramel frosting was really good -- rich and perfectly balanced. * Twice Baked Almond Croissant: This one was also amazing -- flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. * Chocolate Croissant: Delicious as well, though I wish it had been warmed up a little before serving. * Pumpkin Iced Coffee: Great seasonal drink! They make their own pumpkin purée, which gives it a nice, natural flavor. Overall, the experience was really good. It can get a bit crowded and noisy, so it's not the best spot if you're looking for a quiet place to study. The line moves quickly, but seating is very limited -- only about four tables, with two larger ones. All the associates were friendly, helpful, and made ordering easy. read more

Everything we tried was delicious - from the coffee and hot chocolate to the pizza, Italian sandwich and macaroons. They were very busy, but the service was friendly and quick. Everyone working was courteous and helpful and their suggestions were spot on. I wish they had a place to sit inside, but fortunately it was nice outside so we sat on a bench across the street. Must try - macaroons, Crochet Sandwich. read more

Beautiful and delicious pastries & treats. Coffee was superb. Pleasant service even though they were quite busy. They kept line moving efficiently with plenty of staff. Expect long lines on a Sat or Sun am. read more

This place was good a few years back. Now the quality and customer service has gone downhill. I ordered an Italian sandwich, looks straight up like someone regurgitated it out. I ended up eating a quarter of the sandwich, and tossed the rest. The cashier yawned in my face, mouth open and everything. It was literally 12pm and she's over here yawning. The many employees had colored hair, piercings on the face and some other unmentionable things. I just feel like it's not professional and hygienic looking to have that sort of appearance especially when working with food. Note, do not order teas from here, it's watered down and not fragrant. I won't be visiting this location again. read more

This Bakery Nouveau location can be found across the street from WAMOS with a small parking lot. In the mood for something sweet, my husband, our little girl dog and I decided to check out this location (I had one of their locations in Seattle bookmarked but was surprised to see on Yelp that there was another location closer to where we were since we happened to be in Federal Way). We came by this afternoon a little after 2 pm. We were able to get parking and walked in. After looking around the bakery cases, we ended up ordering: Coconut Cookie, $2.75- This coconut cookie has cashews and chocolate caramel chips mixed in with toasted coconut. The ingredients in this cookie intrigued me and am glad I decided to get it because it was really good. I really liked the taste of all the flavors of this cookie. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice chew to it. I would order this again. Twice Baked Almond Croissant, $6- My husband opted to get this croissant. I didn't have any but he and our little girl devoured it. There was an almond filling inside and the croissant was nice and flakey. Birthday Macron, $2.50- I just love birthday flavored anything and so I had to get this. There was actual birthday cake in the macron filling, which surprised me because I have never had a macron that had cake in it. I really enjoyed it and so did my little girl. --------------------------- (Total= $11.25) After we purchased our items, we sat outside with our little girl. Although it was a sunny afternoon, the umbrellas were able to keep the sun off our faces. Service was friendly. We were greeted upon entering and the employees behind the counter were all very friendly. I can see why this location's overall rating is ~ 4.5 stars with nearly 400 reviews. I really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back when I am in town. read more

Where do I start. We decided on a whim to stop by and get some goodies today. You know a place is good when there's a line out the door and nothing special happening except it's a Saturday. We got: twice baked almond croissants. Probably the best croissants I've ever had! Apple danish, this was almost a cross between a croissant and a really yummy apple pie. junction: we had them heat thjs up, out of the two savory options this was the best imo. It was a croissant with egg, cheese, ham and bacon. I might go back again just for this Ham and cheese croissant. This was just ok. I probably wouldn't order it again it was on the dry side and needed less ham and more cheese. It wasn't bad, just not the best. All in all it was a 42 minute drive I made one way for these goodies and I'd gladly do it again. If you haven't been. Go!! read more

This is the bakery I bring out of town guests. My go-to is still Twice Bakery Almond Croissant; and also Junction Croissant if you are lucky. Check the menu online for seasonal baked goods from the Holiday Shop. This year I decided to get the Advent Calender. Here is a hack: they offer the Calender refills (without the box) for half the price ($75 instead of $150). There are also chocalte boxes and jams that make great holiday gifts. read more

Just off the plane from an early flight and we wanted to catch an early breakfast before we headed up to Snoqualmie for a wedding. We were looking for something unique with a variety of offerings that could introduce us to the whole Northwest vibe thing. Introducing Bakery Nouveau! A line out the door on this Saturday morning and it moved slower than expected. Many folks ordered more than just pastry and baked goods. Anything that needs to be heated up was heated slowly and carefully so as not to get dried out (a good thing). Kouign Amann - 5 stars - Crispy outer crust with an inside that is a bit more breaded than a croissant. Less sweet than most pastry and exactly what we were looking for. Hot Ratatouille Sandwich - 5 Stars - Multiple layers of eggplant, zucchini, peppers, red onion, on a garlic Parmesan focaccia that was robust enough to hold the juiciness. Hot Smoked Brisket Croissant - 5 Stars - A croissant filled with smoked brisket, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and béchamel. Delicious Warm Quiche Loraine - 4 Stars - Thick and eggy with ample spinach. We sat outside on a warm 75F morning at one of the 3 tables in the deck. Will definitely return. read more

Could not believe how busy this was on a Thursday morning. It was so cutesy and outta a storybook. It's tricky to figure it what to eat/drink without an easily posted menu. I spotted a rosemary focaccia bread which was absolutely delicious and finished off within two days. It's light airy & savory by itself or with toppings. I wish I had bought two. I bought my kiddos cookies and was bummed that it was al a cart without an option for a box. Next time, I'll have to try a specialty tea! read more

Inferior BN. No latte deal with coffee, and out of a ton of inventory by 10 on a Sunday. Go to west Seattle.

A slice of Paris in Burien. Delicious, velvety smooth lattés. Perfect croissants, danish, and baguette. Pricey, but worth every penny. Also, the staff were so lovely. First time in, definitely not my last! read more

This is the epitome of a treat for me, every time we come by we have to stop and grab a chocolate croissant or nouveau chocolate croissant, a Chocolate loaf (bread?) if we can get our hands on it (yay we snagged the last one btw) sometimes the Twice baked chocolate croissant which is insane!! And if I've been really good, and I always am, a slice of the Classic Chocolate Cake. Their croissants are to die for, flaky and perfect in every way but let me tell you about their chocolate cake, you see too many times you come across a so called chocolate cake and its either a mousse cake or a torte, but the intense chocolatiness without being cloying and the moist cake is perfect in every way. Love love love this place read more

The bread and pastries at Bakery Nouveau are legitimately great, but they really could use a better way to manage their lines. There's really no reason a line of only ~15 people deep takes 30 minutes to go through. Part of the reason is the inefficiency of having the line go right in front of the multiple counters. First is gelato, then chocolates, then cakes, then sandwiches, then pizza/quiche, and finally pastries, which is right next to the cashier. Because of this, if all you want are pastries, you have to wait all the way until you are near the end of the line before you can even see what the selection is (and the person helping you behind the counter needs to wait with you). You also have to wedge your way between the people trying to pay to see the selections. I think this could be solved with a number dispenser system, like in many delis. Anyways, enough ranting about the line. We originally came here hoping to snag the Kouign Amann, but according the the worker helping us, the ones they baked that day didn't meet their quality standards. We still got a number of pastries: Kugelhopf ($5.50) - This felt like a sweeter version of a small brioche-type bread that is baked in a ring pan reminiscent of a Bundt pan. The description indicated that it's soaked in rum butter, but I couldn't really taste any rum in this. There was a generous layer of white sugar applied to the exterior, adding additional sweetness. Twice Baked Almond Croissant ($6) - The texture wasn't what I was expecting at all on this - I was thinking this would be either extra crispy or maybe more like a hard scone texture, but instead it was somewhat soft and almost soggy on the interior, like it was soaked in sugar syrup. The syrup makes the croissant layers stick together. Not that this was a bad thing! The almond frangipane, which was both on the inside of the sliced croissant, and on top, was on point. It was finished with a bunch of silvered almonds and powdered sugar. The croissant was quite sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth, you'll definitely enjoy this one. Twice Baked Chocolate Croissant ($6.50) - The texture is exactly the same as the twice baked almond croissant, but filled with lines of homemade chocolate in addition to the frangipane. I liked this one more than the almond croissant - the slight bitterness of the chocolate balances out the extreme sweetness of the rest of the croissant. As a side note, they have bags of cacao beans and the floor has a glass window into their basement where you can see the mill where they grind the beans. Definitely cool! Blackberry Vanilla Croissant ($5.50) - A very good croissant - perfectly baked flaky and buttery layers surrounding a core of blackberry compote. The vanilla notes were muted in the face of the strong blackberry flavor, but everything was delicious here. The food at Bakery Nouveau is definitely great, but just be prepared to wait a lot longer than you think to get the goods. read more

I placed my order ahead of time because I read they often sell out of sandwiches and other items. When I arrived around 9:30 there was a line outside as there had been some kind of accident inside and they weren't letting customers enter until they had fully cleaned up. They were still serving just from outside. I was t able to see everything they had to offer but customer service was great and the food was even better! The ratatouille sandwich was piled high with marinated vegetables and the sauce they use added so much flavor. The twice baked almond croissant was packed with almond filling and they didn't skimp on the almond topping. It is at the top of my list for best almond croissants I've had. I would love to go back for more of both. I wish they were open on Monday and Tuesday. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star but I'm bumping it up since I can see myself coming back. We got there around 1030am on a Saturday morning and there was a line. It moved pretty quickly so it wasn't bad. Once it was our turn, we ordered: Twice baked almond croissant -- I had this before and this time it was a little on the over baked side but not too bad Garlic parmesan focaccia -- it's pretty good bread but I wouldn't call this focaccia...but good bread Cinnamon Roll --- dang there was SOOOOO much frosting on this thing you can barely see the actual pastry. Surprisingly it was good and you definitely need it as the cinnamon roll itself was on the dry side The place has some outdoor seating but nothing inside. It's more of a take and go kinda style. The person who was helping me was really nice and helpful though. read more
