This place will always be my favorite. The twice-baked almond croissant—wow, so good. I’ve moved from Seattle, but I visit every month, and whenever I’m here, I have to stop by and grab some. I even take a few with me back to Dubai.

Bakery Nouveau is one of my favorite spots on Capitol Hill. The pastries are always top-notch—everything looks amazing, but the pound cake is my absolute favorite. It’s consistently busy, but the line moves fast and is well worth the wait. The sandwiches always catch my eye too… I haven’t tried them yet, but one day I will! A fantastic bakery all around.

Lots of variety in the deserts but limited savory options. Definitely fancy deserts but on expensives side. I had cheese cake and large coffee was almost ($15+). They don't offer indoor seating. But you can sit in the small park right outside the store. Very busy neighborhood. Unfortunately, there is no parking nearby apart from Safeway parking or street parking which is always full.

One of my favorite bakeries in Seattle. This location can get a bit crowded at times, but the line usually moves quickly and the staff is friendly. I love their carrot cake, cookies, and breads…. But but honestly, pretty much all their pastries are amazing. I did try their pizza once and it wasn’t my favorite, but everything else keeps me coming back. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Cute bakery…would love it if they had some more vegan options. The zebra loaf and strawberry-rhubarb tart were delicious. Everything else not so much…the chai did not taste good…way too many spices, and neither did the macaroons. We tried the passion fruit, vanilla, pumpkin, and chocolate. The flavor was off and the texture was soft instead of crisp.
