Loved the flakiness and butteryness of the croissant when I heated it for like 15 seconds in the microwave. The chocolate chip cookie was less than memorable so just kind of meh. Look forward to trying other items in the near future.

I loved that…read morethey had a great selection of both sweet and savory pastries, so there's something for everyone. I had to go for the twice baked chocolate pistachio croissant since we're huge Dubai chocolate lovers, and wow... it did not disappoint. Huge, buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious.

There was quite an impressive array of offerings, most looked tempting. I easily placed an order and went to find a seat. While there could have been more attention given to the cleanliness of the space (especially with the number of people working the front), and I found the seats quite uncomfortable and coordinating tables wobbly, the sandwich and chocolate cake I ordered were quite enjoyable. To be more specific, the sandwich was decent, the cake delicious. While the experience was not superb, it did meet my needs. If you're in the area, and want to grab a treat to go, I think this would serve you well enough. Pro-Tip: You have to clear your own table. Perhaps something to consider in your tipping.

Pastries here are fantastic!…read more My husband and I parked in the parking garage and we really appreciate that if you support one of the businesses with any purchase you input your license plate and get 3 hours validated parking! Also a bonus because the day we came was also the farmers market! Service was welcoming and friendly! They had a few tables with seating inside. We got the raspberry ribbon croissant and egg tart! Wish I had more tummy space to try more items because these pastries were delicious!

This is primarily a review of the cake I ordered for my birthday. I ended up needing to pick up the…read morecake on mother's day because they're closed on Mondays. It was pretty easy to make a cake order and the writing was free, unlike online where it says $5 for writing. When I got the cake, I was a bit disappointed. The writing had bled onto the cake, there was a crack in the frosting and it appeared that the frosting at the bottom leaned piped to the board instead of the cake. 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.

Why does Mercer Island have an abundance of fantastic bakeries?…read more La Fete is a petite pastry / coffee shop that has amazing pastries. The earlier you come the more likely you will get to eat the delicious pastries, but if you come past 11 AM you likely won't find much. Their croissants are always on the menu, but many of their pastries are seasonally available so you have to come back. I haven't tried their sandwiches yet, but those pastries are amazing. The staff here are so nice too! Super tolerant as my indecision took over my brain seeing so many pastries! I think not having anyone behind me helped with that - a rare slow moment - because once the door opened I waved the white flag, asked them to pick me 3 of their favorites and off I went. The only problem with that is I can't recall the names of what I bought. The croissant, easy. The little puffy pastry with big sugar flakes and apricot that was very light? No clue except it was delicious.

Really enjoyed this little cafe! The pastries are baked in house and are delightful. We had the…read morealmond croissant and the raspberry chocolate croissant and both were excellent though I preferred the almond. Espresso was solid. They also have small baguette sandwiches that I'd like to try next time. There was tons of traffic on a weekday morning. Overall a small space with a few small tables inside and an outdoor patio with more tables which will be lovely as the weather gets warmer, but we were able to grab a table. Great place for catching up with someone.

Didn't expect much but this was one of the best bakery stops I've had in a while. The croissants…read morewere properly flaky and buttery, the curry croquettes were crispy with really good flavor, and the blueberry yogurt cake was light and creamy in the best way. Even the chocolate pastry was better than I thought it would be. Coffee was good and the place was clean. If you're in Redmond, it's worth going out of your way for.

Please be aware that you need to use a set of tongs to get your danish to put on your plate, don't use your hands. Thanks. Quite a selection, and the prices weren't too far out of line. The coffee, it was pretty good, it is a automated machine to make any of the espresso drinks, not a barista preparing them. All in all, it was not too bad. This is a large facility, lots of room, and it was quite empty when we were in there, but many people coming and going to live and then nearby condos and apartments.

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

Bakery Nouveau no longer has anywhere to sit, so it is purely a to-go location. The barista was…read morekind enough to suggest sitting at a bench at Kaiser Permanente, across the street. I am not sure how to rate this bakery. I bought two items. The pear tart was excellent. The crust was rich, dense and sweet, and the frangipane filling was perfect, with slices of pear layered on top. The chocolate croissant, on the other hand, was beautiful but almost flavorless. Averaging on high score and one low brings me to 3 stars.

This is the only pastry shop and restaurant in Seattle which deserves six stars…read more Food: Exquisite across board. You do not have to worry about what you order, it will be great. We recommend you try something new and prepare to be impressed. Rather extensive menu for such a small place. They do not cut corners on preparation or ingredients. The star for us are the croissants which are actually perfect. Really! Service: Superb in every instance. The staff is there to serve you and they do it with class, good humor and professionalism. They are very knowledgeable about their products and are happy to share that knowledge. They work as a team which means no breakdowns when things get busy. Physical: Does not wow from the outside but is very attractive inside. Well laid out for efficient service. All the details are top notch - displays, cloth napkins with beautiful silverware and china, art, etc. The outside seating in very inviting now that the weather has improved. Atmosphere: You actually do feel like you are in a French café, except with friendly service. Prices: Given all of the above the prices are very, very reasonable. This is one of the few dining experiences where you actually get what you pay for. We always leave happy. I repeat - six stars.

For now, I am giving it a 3 star. I was in between 3 and 4 but when expectations are high, the…read moredisappointment hits harder too. BUT I will revisit to try more of their pastries. I saw this place on a list for top 3 croissants in Seattle. Obviously I had to come through and taste their original plain. And... Idk! It wasn't bad but it wasn't... that great either. I prefer Bakery Nouveau (West Seattle location) and Saboteur way more. The service was good and the ambiance was quite cute. Check out my photos!

It has amazing French and Vietnamese bakery selection from macaroons and croissants to Vietnamese meat pie. I got the last Scottish egg pie and jt was absolutely delicious with the perfect balance of buttery crisp, savory sausage and creamy egg with touch of spice, garlic and herb from the chimichurri. The varieties of sandwiches were served brioche breads or focaccia and my schnitzel was perfectly fried with just the right amount of pickled onions and curry flavor. I didn't have room for the tiramisu (shock!) and no access to refrigeration to keep it cool for the entire ferry ride back, so I'll just have to make sure I come hungry the next time we visit.

Everything is house made with care, dedication, and love. Best brunch we have had since we lived in San Francisco where, due to crowds and parking, brunch is a blood sport.

The line was short but can definitely build up but not as long as some other options on the street. I had a spinach flaky roll and latte. Both were just right and honestly above average.
