Amazing bakery, wish they had seating to enjoy the pastries and coffee. Hard to choose from the selection. Tried chocolate croissant and chocolate mousse cheesecake. The croissant was not a traditional one but super delicious.
Finally! An almond croissant that holds its own in Seattle! I’m sure the not-so-secret ingredient is butter but I don’t care because it’s banging. The coffee also reminded me of Europe (stronger than one tends to get in the USA) and it paired perfectly.Service with a smile too!
Nice local bakery for savory and sweet baked goods. Love their croissants and their seasonal raspberry mousse cake (summer). Their whole cakes are also very nice for a celebration and are a good value for the quality.
Good almond croissant. Not the best I’ve ever had, but that best I’ve had in the city of Seattle so far. My one “issue” is that the bottom is usually a bit soggy from the simple syrup despite the double baking.EDIT March 5th: was waiting in line, had made it to the front by the registers and still hadn’t been helped, so I asked a seemingly idle employee if I could get a chocolate almond croissant and then she told me matter of factly that there was a lineup and asked me to move to the back? Presumably she has not seen me 5 minutes prior. So I had to explain that I was in the bakery before the other people in the lineup. Then she got me an almond croissant and if I hadnt checked what she put in the bag I would have left without chocolate almond which is what I asked for. Having worked 3 service jobs before I understand that working with customer service can be tiring so I do try to be empathetic and accommodating but unfortunately from my perception the interaction was a bit rude and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Perhaps a suggestion to the bakery could be to have a clearer queue and lineup system? I am not sure. Sorry for the rant ?
A favorite of ours! Pastries are sublime, sandwiches are delicious and cakes have no words. Parking is limited (busy area) customer service is great ?
Some of the best cakes ever! Highly recommend!
Everything here is amazing. Don’t think about it, just get in line to go in ❤️
I’ve been to the bakery a couple times maybe a handful. But today was my last time probably at the West Seattle location because they have a racist front host at the door who wanted to deny me access to the store because I’m a person of color pushing a stroller with a baby inside. I didn’t know that the business or company enforce that policies customers.
Continued my search for the best Kouign Amann in Seattle before flying back to Vancouver tonight. Bakery Nouveau was my next stop after dropping by Rossellini’s in Ballard. Yes, I drove all the way from Bellevue to Ballard and then to Capital Hill. Picked up an Italian Roll with cured meats, provolone, tomato slices, pepperoncinis, and vinaigrette dressed arugula on an Italian roll, a butter croissant and a Kouign Amann. The Kouign Amann was heavenly; it was golden with a very airy, buttery puff pastry interior, and a crispy but not overly caramelized exterior. There were delicate stands of sugary syrup laced throughout the airy layers of pastry. It was no doubt one of the best Kouign Amann I’ve ever had. The Kouign Amann from Bakery Nouveau and Rossellini’s are both exceptional, each with their own subtle differences. Try them both and let me know which one you like better!
Twice Baked Croissants are a must try. ? It is a delicious dessert that you probably need to share with one other. They also serve great coffee, baked goodies, many chilled desserts and some baguettes.
