So excited sharing my first experience. Very cute place for hang out if there’s a spot, the croissant is fresh (you could tell when you bite into it) cute macarons (very sweet you’ll needed when you’re on low sugar levels)

Amazing service ☺️ will definitely recommend this place.

I go here about once a week, usually to snag a BLT(before they sell out), and a coffee. It’s a really cozy shop, the workers are all really friendly, the food is great, and they sell out really fast, so I’d recommend getting there before noon(earlier on weekends) so you can get the full selection. Amazing french bakery, everything is delicious.

THANK YOU for bringing back the cranberry vanilla bean croissants. They are perfect with an excellent balance of sweet and tart. I wish they weren’t seasonal.

I almost missed it walking by. I love the cakes and croissants at BN. I know for a fact that they use good ingredients. I came in 3 minutes before closing. I haven't been here in years. Now that I live close by, I will be here more often. The service people were welcoming and very friendly. They weren't in a hurry to close. This place is a treasure. It's hard to find a bakery that sells cakes with real Italian or French buttercream.

Went here to get macarons for my birthday! Got 6 flavors and each were so good! Salted caramel is my personal favorite but the seasonal pumpkin is also so good!

Such amazing sandwiches, bread, and sweets! I love the breakfast options and my favorite sandwiches are the ham & cheese baguette, California club, and BLT.
I love you can get a slice of cake if you’re solo or want to try several options.

Three downsides to consider.
1. Bread, breakfast, and sandwiches sell very quickly so try and get there before noon so you don’t miss out.
2. West Seattle store is very small & narrow and the lines often go into the street and it’s a bit chaotic honestly especially if it’s your first visit. Hang in there and try and go with the flow of others and you’ll be okay. However, if crowded social spaces make you anxious, this place may trigger you during busy times.
3. They’re closed Mondays & Tuesdays 😩 So try and stock up breads, etc on Sundays if you’ll have a craving.

I also want to mention how amazing ALL their staff are. Always polite and kind and patient while you order. I’ve been a regular here -sometimes weekly- for four years and I’ve always had a positive experience (minus the crowded shop) with the friendly staff.

Definitely recommend if you’re craving decadent pastries and cake or need a fancy cake for a special occasion. And the bread - good variety. Perfect for your holiday occasions & holiday orders can be placed online for convenient sidewalk window pick up.

Everything here is great. My favorites are the macrons and either the savory or twice-baked almond croissants. This is a take your meal and go place, there isn't a lot of seating in the bakery.

We stopped in Bakery Nouveau on Sunday during the farmers market. It was very busy but they had enough staff to cover the crowd. We picked up half a dozen cookies to go (snickerdoodles, oatmeal, and chocolate). We were very disappointed in the taste and quality of the cookies. Although they were large, they were very dry and didn’t have much taste. Wouldn’t purchase again..

I love a cute bakery. The service was decent here and the atmosphere very very cute. Ultimately we just felt the taste and texture of all three things we ordered was just a little bit off. The turkey croissant sandwich so so mustardy, the chicken salad croissant extremely sweet, and the strawberry mini slice was good but was very sweet and the bottom was so hard it was impossible to get your fork into it. Maybe too frozen/cold? We enjoyed our breakfast but if you're like a fancy baker connoisseur I'm not sure this is your stop. However i would try different stuff because the croissant texture was great and that can be hard to get right. It also cost us like $40 for those three items as well but that's kinda Seattle standard
