Bakery Nouveau

"Small bakery with great selection from pastries, breads, sandwiches, quiche, and desserts/sweets. There was a line out the door but it moved quickly and efficiently. Pretty much a takeout place. I got a butter croissant and a couple macaroons. The macaroons had a bit too much filling for me personally, but I’m sure this is a big plus for others who really like them sweet and decadent! The croissant I got was delicious and just as you’d expect a good French croissant to be. I’d love to go back again to try their amazing looking sandwiches or pizza breads. Oh and the yuzu truffle/chocolate thing was amazing!!!!!"

"This bakery has long had the reputation of being one of Seattles best and I’ve been here countless times. During Covid the consistency and quality went a bit down but that was easily understandable given all that was going on. However, we are here now in 2024 and I’ve just found that there is no consistent quality to the baked goods anymore. One day you can get. Croissant which is fresh and fluffy and perfectly baked. The next day it’s hard, dry and crunchy. The last one was clearly over baked from the get go. Hard and stiff. Threw out half. Sometimes it may be baked correctly but seems stale or day old. Competitors do sell day old goods but they are clearly labeled as such. I’ve always assumed it was fresh here. Anyway nice people who work there and over all good quality probably 2 out of 3 times. You’d just think a premium bakery could get it right 9 out of 10 times or better. And since I frequently get the same thing it’s easy to track to quality variance"

"Pioneer rolls!!!!! Nom nom nom. I like to go on their website and look for their seasonal crafts. Every bread they make here is absolutely wonderful. Service is so friendly how could you not be friendly with those wonderful smells around you all day. I haven’t yet got to try the desserts other than a few small baklava type things, and they were very scrumptious so savory . The prices are very reasonable for what they’re doing there. Treat yourself you won’t be disappointed"

"I’m revising my review. Today I stopped by and I found there to be more of a selection from pastries, breads, fudge to hot sandwiches and whoopie pies! There is no seating but there are eating utensils available. The customer service was great! I tried the seasonal dome called Aphrodite and it was good-the outside had a chewy jello-like consistency and the second layer had a lemon flavor with a fluffy texture and the third layer had a raspberry like purée. I also tried the Croque Monsieur it tastes like a fancy grilled cheese sandwich with ham lol! I would stop by again for another treat."
