I've been going to Belle Pastry since they opened across the street from their current location, back when Old Main was still "old." I never had any cause to complain. When they moved across the street, I continued to enjoy every visit: the almond croissants, mini lemon meringue pies, lattes, and everything else. Today, however, Belle Pastry was different. A half-baguette sandwich with three or four slices of turkey, some lettuce and onions, and a tall latte cost almost $20. The sandwich and coffee were good, but $20 seems like a lot, even in today's economy. I decided to have dessert after lunch and ordered one of my favorites: the mini lemon meringue pie. The meringue was as I remembered it, although perhaps a little too sweet. The lemon filling, however, was a huge disappointment. It had no lemon flavor and was grainy with sugar granules. If I were a pastry chef, I would be embarrassed to offer such a poor product to my customers. It cost $8.00. I almost clicked on 3 stars "OK," but then I thought "No, it's not OK" and went with 2 stars. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This cafe has always had a special place in my heart and I still go there and love the environment, quiches, napeleons and coffee![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, I have to say their prices have unreasonably increased! Their items are almost 50% more expensive than what it was 2 years ago and it just doesn't fit the cozy vibe of it anymore![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I know everything has gotten more expensive, but the rate at which this one has, is just a bit too much! Not to mention, this last time I noticed they neaked in a layer of sponge cake in their Napoleon, which is supposed to be all of pastry. If you increase the price, at least don't lower the quality! read more

I met a friend here for a little mom's break. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a cute bakery and coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you first walk in, there are a few tables to sit at, and there is the pastry case where they have several yummy options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty clean and the decor was very stylish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint is there was no real "line" and we weren't sure where to go and who was first. We kind of all had to keep track of ourselves as to who came first. I can just imagine if someone wasn't honest about it, they would cut in line to order. Otherwise the food and coffee were great. I got an eclair and a Cafe Mocha, and my friend got a sandwich. We definitely enjoyed our meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did feel a little rushed because other people were looking for a place to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think if there were a few more tables and maybe a way to manage the line, it would be so much better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A nice spot for an afternoon snack or a late lunch. Went on two different days, and really liked the baked goodies and beverages. The white chocolate mocha was good, fruit tart was the bomb and even better than French Bakery. The tart shell was significantly lighter than ones I have had, and the delicateness of butter shone through. The egg salad sandwich was satisfactory. The croissant could have been better IMO. Next day I had an Italian soda and leek Parmesan puff. The puff was cheesy, crispy and flavorful. Yum!! If I were in the area, I would come again! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is live and thriving.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was meeting up with some friends and feel in love! It's a local spot, with allll the options from breakfast, lunch, and desserts.

Excellent pastries and coffee. This charming bakery and cafe is busy for a reason. The croissants were a bit tough and overworked on the first day that we tried them, but they were fine in the other days that we came to try their cuisine. Particularly liked the delicacy of the pear tart. Fresher eggs for the croissant sandwich would be welcome. The leek pastry was a win! Service was uniformly excellent. Pricing very reasonable. They have done a reasonable job of capturing the French cafe ambience, although a table or two more couldn't hurt. Parking is a challenge. Most folks there walk over. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff are great, inside is big windows and lots of light even in winter, and the cakes garnered nothing but praise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However the croissants, both the original and the pain au chocolat, were quite disappointing. The croissant scene where I live has exploded, with light, airy, buttery, flaky deliciousness-- the ones here felt lacking in all of these things. read more

Such a cute cafe in a street with a ton of other cute little cafes! Service was fast, my pastry and drink were finished in about 5 minutes it less. The seating is quite difficult to finds since it was a bit crowded at ~10am on a Saturday, but luckily i found a small table to vibe on for a bit. Would recommend dropping by for the european cafe vibes! read more

Great cafe in heart of Bellevue. I came on the weekend and there was a lot of empty tables, however they were not clean. I took hot chocolate with peach tart and it was very good. Had to change peach tart because it was raw crust. Blueberry tart was much much better. Overall very nice relax ambience at the cafe. read more

This place used to be great, i have been a customer since their previous location and former owner. Today my frustration just reached a different level with their staff. I have been waiting by the counter to order and i was ignored by all 3 girls behind register. One in particular was taking orders throughout the place with no consideration of who was there first, simply just talking to whomever would come closer to her. I asked her at some point if the cashier counter is no longer a place to order and she bluntly responded that they have been talking orders from everywhere in the place. That was it, no "will be with you in a min, sorry for the wait", sorry you have been waiting here for 10 min while i was servicing people coming after you, nothing...i got frustrated and left after a total of 10 waisted minutes. Last time i waited for a sandwich 20 minutes and would have been waited longer if i would not kept asking for it. There is no organization of any kind in this place, nothing like it used to be. read more

Customer service here is a hit or miss sometimes, but their pastries and coffee are pretty consistent. I've been going to Belle for years now, mainly because I used to live and work close by but also because their pastries are delicious! I usually order a cafe mocha or honey latte, which are both amazing. Highly recommend for a quick pick-me-up, morning coffee, or place to work! read more

I used to go to Belle Pastry when I worked in Bellevue 5 years ago. Finally returned and boy this place has gone downhill. First of all.. took like 5 minutes to get some help with my order even though no one was in line. I felt ignored and not a priority. When I finally did get helped, she wasn't fully listening to my order and I had to repeat myself 3 times. I ordered only 3 items and she couldn't get it right. I ordered my favorite cookie.. raspberry shortbread cookie. My cookie was stale and definitely tasted old and overbaked. Usually the raspberry part is chewy and fresh. Mine was rubbery & glue-like. Sigh.. what happened, Belle Pastry? Do better. read more

How can I describe how much I adore the pastries here? The almond croissant is huge and rich -- worth splitting -- but it's so delicious. I enjoy the espresso here too. It's a great spot for a treat or to catch up with someone. Their outdoor seating area is great in the summer too. read more

Oh wow. So much to say about this delightful pastry place. First of all, I think the taste is more authentic European than Farine's. I would say Belle Pastry is the traditional European style bakery whereas Farine's has a bit of a modern flair. You can tell by the menu items. All the sweet pastries are wonderful but don't be fooled by their limited selection of savory pastries: spinach feta croissant, leek Parmesan croissant and ham and cheese croissant. All three are at the top of my list. I came around 9:30am in the morning for savory croissants and maybe they just came out of the oven or something but it literally tasted like a bite of Paris. Croissant was so flaky, warm, and a pleasant cheese filling inside. It's sooooooo good!!! Definitely try the savory croissants or you're missing out!! read more

Service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is definitely French bakery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was great I love quiche and they had a very good salmon quiche. The quiche had a thick crust I love crust so I absolutely loved this quiche. The peach crumble was okay.

Great coffee, delicious pastry! Our go to spot in Bellevue. Excellent service and always friendly!

This used to be our goto/ favorite shop on this Main Street area. Even when they were in their older location across the street. We used to come with my family, my mom was a fan of their bakery items. I remember getting a beautiful chocolate slippers ( shape like glass slipper from Cinderella) made out of chocolate. It was so pretty, I never ate it. Kept it pretty for a year I think.. :D and off it went in the trash. Coming here was like a fun Sunday thing. We'd always be in lines, croissants, tarts, cakes. All the excitement. Now that I've been back and several times since I live down the street, I'm not sure I'm a fan. I thought their cakes were a ok given how much competition is in the area. Prices are higher and everything was a ok. This location is bigger than their older one. Cute but even coffee was a ok. Don't expect any latte arts or anything. It's just a ok!! read more

The first time I came here, I thought my cake was not good and stale/old but it was near closing. So I thought maybe it was my fault and I ordered badly/too late in the day. So I ordered different cake this time (and earlier in the day) and it is also old/stale and the cake is super dry. I think the frosting kept parts of it slightly moist because the cake part is two different colors with the staler part being lighter in color. I personally hate places like this that seemingly don't care about their customers at all. I don't know how old this cake is but a businesses that cares about customers should have standards and dates on their items and throw them away after a few days. Aren't there health code standards about this? I hope I didn't just eat week old/unpopular cake. $7 for a smallish slice of cake (plus tip) is a lot these days. I am so angry with myself for coming back here. And also for not reading the reviews first! Don't be like me, just avoid this place. read more

My favorite local cafe the drinks are meh, but the pastries are pretty bomb My go to's are definitely the Pain au Chocolat and the Spinach and Feta Danish As for cake I always go for anything chocolatey ahaha, but they can be hit or miss sometimes. I try to go early and get the slices fresh as I've had them later in the day before and some can get quite dry. I've seen this happen to ordered cakes before, so hoping they can sort this issue out soon Pros: * you can usually find seating pretty easily * pastries and cakes can be SO good, especially during the morning when they're freshest. Once it's past noon though, I don't know man, it can be hit or miss * nice cafe ambiance with a light hustle and bustle, strangers' conversations, students studying... Cons: * drinks are alright, but not the best imo * long lines and wait times * when opting for things to be warmed up or toasted, some things burn such as their quiches and croissants, so heads up * parking sucks as per most Bellevue spots lol read more

I would go back to this shop. Besides from having a great aesthetic for both food and shop's design, their tartlet, cake, and machiatto are really good. The service is great as well! The only thing is, the tables are a little bit too crowded from each other but I guess some people are cool with it. PS: Get their blueberry tartlet!!!! read more

Met my work friend for coffee today and what a treat! I had my usual hazelnut latte and an almond croissant. Nom nom! A great place to have a delicious pastry and awesome coffee drinks.

3.5 maybe. 1. On one hand I'm really happy it was busy and they were a lot of people sitting down. However that increases risk with so many people inside talking, without masks. I feel safer across the street at GGB Café and the spacing they have. 2. Their chairs son aux Pomme - Like a croissant filled with apple also known as an apple turnover - is a bitch flat with these lines across it. They've change the way they make it. I've gone in a couple of times and they said sometimes it comes out the other way as they used to do it. But every time it's still the same. I tried it today and it was just OK. It looks like they've got macaroons on hand, cookies and goodies to enjoy or take away read more

Great pastry shop. All the croissant with fillings are tasty. The peach pie crust is a little too thick and gooey. I also tried tiramisu without taking a picture. It was very classic dark chocolate and moist cake with mascarpone cheese. Lovely seating area with French cafe chairs, I would come back to try more cakes next time I visit Seattle. read more

Belle Pastry - Took almond croissant, peach pie, raspberry cream cheese croissant and small palmiers to the lake for a picnic . - Cafes Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Belle Pastry is as adorable as it is busy; every time I venture by here it is bustling and full! The coffee and pastry scene in Bellevue is incredibly diverse and the competition is fierce. It is the *only* reason I could not give Belle the perfect and coveted 5/5 which, in my heart, it deserves. The menu is impressively diverse: sandwiches, quiches, cakes, pastries, macarons, even a croquembouche (Adriano Zumbo always comes to mind when I see that word) for special orders. The ambiance is charming and the service is always friendly! The tarts are a must have and the croissants are both delicious and buttery. If a particular bakery that I adore and love burned down tomorrow morning Belle would take top prize for croissants, but until then, I will hold back my tears and bite my lip as I mumble "second best". In all seriousness, Belle is a wonderful little cafe that has gone strong since 2003 for a reason. It is a Bellevue staple as far as I am concerned, and here's hoping it will continue to grace the city with it's charm and wonderful offerings. read more

Cute bakery at the edge of Bellevue park. The prices are very reasonable considering this is Bellevue. There is ample seating for customers and staff are quite friendly. I like this bakery because in addition to baked goods they offer sandwiches and drinks. The pastries are a great dessert option. The cookies and breads are good but not off the chart exceptional but definitely better than the store bought goods. If in the area for a quick lunch then this should be a reasonable option, read more
