    Almond croissant
    Maria L.

    Seriously everything on the menu is fresh and delicious but the twice backed almond croissant is the best in the US! Service is always fast and friendly and the ambiance is perfect for carry out orders.

    Homemade breads and interior

    Came across this bakery visiting the junction in west Seattle. Everything looked so tasty. Homemade bread and pastries. I had a bacon and cheese baguette. The mozzarella practically melted in my mouth, so good!! Staff were friendly and line moved pretty fast. We were there around 11:30 on a Saturday morning.

    Tuna Croissant
    Ploy N.

    A neighborhood bakery with various baked goods and pastries. Everything was fresh and high quality. The Tuna Croissant was crispy eventhough it's a cold sandwich. Filling was full of dills and olives. The Junction Sandwich (warmed up) is A MUST. Lovely croissant filled with creamy scramble eggs, bacon, and ham. The perfect breakfast/lunch item. Sweet pastries were good too but the savory ones stood out for me. It's busy but line goes fast!

    This place makes my mouth water. I'm a total sucker for French bakeries...they're my happy place. Butter, sugar, flour = love. The quality here is always spot-on, and there's something for every craving: sweet, salty, chocolatey, creamy, or flaky. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a beautiful glass case packed with pastries that look almost too good to eat. Some of my top favorites: * Pizza (any flavor) - Yes, even Hawaiian! * Cakes - I've ordered them for my birthday; they're incredible. Rich, decadent, and satisfying. The pink buttercream with raspberry filling and the sakura slice are standouts. * Olive fougasse - Crispy, chewy, and perfectly salty. * Fruit pastries - Raspberry, blueberry, apricot, or pear danishes -- all amazing. * Macarons - Light, sweet, and perfectly textured. Service is friendly and efficient. Even with a line out the door, they keep things moving, you'll rarely wait more than 10 minutes. It's a no-frills interior with a few spots to sit, but space is limited. On weekends it gets busy and a bit crammed, yet it's still completely worth the visit. The energy, the aroma, and the quality make it one of those spots you can't help but come back to!

    Bakery Nouveau is an absolute Seattle and Seattle area bakery! I am so fortunate to live in West Seattle and have a location next to me! The staff is always really nice and they all provide excellent customer service and they are always upbeat from my experience. The space at the West Seattle location is kind of small and the line can get long, so sometimes they have you line up outside. The space feels very much like a cozy traditional bakery/cafe. I enjoy the decor of the space. The food is absolutely delicious! I love their desserts, which are totally premium quality! They also sell sandwiches and bread, but I have only ever had their desserts. They sell coffee as well for a little pick me up! My favorite desserts are the tiramisu and the mocha chocolate cheesecake. Both of those items are incredible. My wife enjoys the pistachio cake that they make. I also enjoy the Paczki that they make. Paczki is a polish donut. They don't always have it on regular basis, but when they do, it's amazing! Overall, I highly recommend Bakery Nouveau if your looking to satisfy your dessert craving, or if you're just looking for some coffee or lunch type of food!

    pistachio-cassis mousse cake
    J. J.

    The pistachio-cassis cake was a real hit. The cassis mousse was perfectly tart and the joconde sponge added a crunchy texture. Overall, it was great but a tad too sweet for me maybe due to the white chocolate layer and/or the sponge could have been half the height to balance it out more, but I like desserts less sweet in general.

    I've been to Bakery Nouveau a few times now and it never disappoints. It's one of the best bakeries in West Seattle. They will usually have a line when visiting on a weekend. We tried their twice baked almond croissant which was absolutely incredible, it had a generous almond filling. We also got the danish. Their display case is filled with a wide variety of pastries to choose from. The space is cozy with some indoor seating which can get a bit crowded on weekends. We also had the stromboli as the pizza options were not ready yet. They do warm them up and call you when it's ready. The staff were very friendly and helped warm up the food again after it got a bit cold. Definitely recommend them for pastries and coffee and worth making the trip even if you're not in West 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!

I didn't get photos unfortunately but will be back and can update then. We ordered a marble loaf, croissants, chocolate hazelnut croissant (casse-noisette), brownie, kouign-amann and the fraisier. Oh. My. Heaven. This is the first bakery in a long time we have been craving days later. Everything. I mean EVERYTHING was delicious with the exception of the marble loaf. The loaf was extremely firm and had no flavor. My son who loves everything sweet only had two bites. The rest made up for it. My husband LOVES croissants and this is by far the best he has had in all of Washington. The casse-noisette was ridiculous. Often when you have stuffed croissants they either have barely any or way too much "stuffing". This was perfect. The perfect blend of chocolate and hazelnut.

Croissant - perfect, I would have gotten another one but will look forward to returning before our trip ends. Avocado toast - egg added (extra) was the best bang for your buck and the lightly dressed, bright, crisp salad was a pleasant surprise. Chicken salad - no picture but was a no-frills, arugula based salad with shredded chicken and a hint of cheese. This was our least favorite item and if not for this the food would have been given 5 stars. Large latte - generous portion and delicious with the star of the show - a plain croissant! The ambiance is impeccably French cafe too but the way in which you order wasn't efficiently laid out; seemed a bit confusing. Perhaps it was simply due to there being a large group who were seated right near the slightly hidden cashier (to the side of the pastry display) or we weren't sure what to expect on our first time there. We sat outside and that was extremely pleasant. Definitely would go back for the croissant alone!

Honestly, this would hold its own in Paris... and might still crack a top-10 list. But the real reason for this review: THEY BROUGHT BACK THE BLUE OF LONDON. Our family's favorite pastry addiction has officially returned, and if you know, you KNOW. The kind of pastry that causes "we'll just stop in for coffee" to somehow become a weekly ritual. Flaky, rich, dangerously good, and worth planning your morning around. Seattle has great bakeries. Mercer Island has a gem. France would approve.

I didn't bother mentioning this at pick up because it didn't seem like the worker was also the cake person. The cake itself was a tad dry but light and airy. For the price I paid, I was disappointed by the outcome. Even if it was due to additional cake orders due to mother's day, I do expect better than this when I buy a cake from a local bakery. Also if you like crispy croissants, I do not recommend the Sichuan pepper cruffin. It was tasty but it didn't have the crisp that you'd expect from a bakery.
