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!

The Apple fritter my friend said was decent so that's why I give it that 2stars because the cookies were disappointing. It was my first time here -- there weren't too many options there. I mainly saw donuts and cookies. All sweets, no savory. I think I'd only return just to see if their other options are okay. But wouldn't be willing to come back.

This place is definitely not worth it. The donut was OK but I can get a donut like that anywhere else for a lot cheaper right in downtown Seattle, I could go to the best donut shop around there and it would only cost me four dollars. Be careful if you go here because she will rip you off.

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. The crunch of the hazelnuts on top were a welcome contrast. Cannot wait to return. What a gem!

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!

The pastries are absurdly good, the coffee is perfect, and somehow every visit feels like stumbling into a tiny Parisian café tucked away on a side street in Saint-Germain. 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 went to Bakery Nouveau excited to try their almond croissants after hearing so much about them…read more Of course, the twice-baked almond croissant and the pecan pastry were delicious and lived up to the expectations. However, the real standout for me wasn't the pastries--it was the spinach quiche. The egg filling was cooked perfectly, incredibly soft and creamy, and the crust was flaky, buttery, and just really well done. Everything was enjoyable, but the quiche was definitely the highlight.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

Almond Croissant - Light, fragrant, and fluffy. The flavor itself was buttery, not too sweet, and was well balanced with the almonds sprinkled all over it. Would get it again. (8.5/10) Eclair Espresso - Had a nice espresso flavor to it along with the creamy filling. (8/10) Au Jardin - Tastes just as it looks, like a different form of pizza but with zucchinis. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10)

Sometimes I wish they had more variety as they will have the same bread in 3 different areas. I utilized the drink kiosks prior to picking out and purchasing the pastries. It was great to have the beverage ready as soon as you paid for your pastries instead of waiting longer. I don't know if it was my specific drink that ordered, but I was unable to customize the sugar or ice level at the kiosks which was a bit disappointing. I will have to try ordering what I usually get and see if that customization is on them as I know some drinks cannot be customized.

The vibe of this place and the people that make it happen every morning are world class. Life situations kept me from making my way to the shop for a year or so, but when I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a "it's been a while!" The coffee is reasonably priced and imo - best in the area. It's consistent and while I'm a sucker for the 12oz cold brew - I've gone off script a few times and have always been pleased. I've got family that comes into town fairly often, and almost every morning they ask to go because they think about it when they're at home in Chicago. There's plenty of seating, tho it's sometimes so bumping (because it's a great spot!) it can be hit or miss if you can stick around and enjoy the vibe. But generally I've had good luck over the years setting up at a table and chatting with friends & fam before a hike, enjoying the morning with my pup doing some socialization training or throwing a few emails around to my corporate overlords. I've seen ads for their evening events and have been wanting to make it to one, but I always seem to see the poster days or weeks after the event! Poetry nights in a space like boon boona seem like an unbeatable vibe, hope to notice & get to one soon. *Parking is also not hard to find at all. There's a free garage down the street at the transit center that is never full, and tons of street parking*
