Bakery Nouveau - Seattle

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 ????

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!

Great experience coming here for the first time! I was hesitant about customer service based on many reviews here, but the employee who helped me was really nice. I visited on a Friday morning so it was not crowded either. I tried the regular Chocolate croissant, Twice Baked almond croissant, and Apricot Danish. The regular Chocolate croissant was SOOO good!! Very flaky and just the right amount of sweet, plus delicious chocolate inside. Many flaky layers but also soft! It was perfect and my favorite of the three. The Twice Baked Almond croissant was pretty good but I think I like traditional almond croissants better. This felt more like a condensed or squished almond croissant. It was a little too sweet with all the toppings and sugar on top, I would rather just taste more almond paste filling but that's probably a personal preference. The apricot croissant was big, kinda heavy, and okay overall. It felt kind of regular like most other fruit danishes. Most pastries seem to cost about $5 each. I recommend everyone try if curious! I would go back to try new things next time.

I will only review their macarons that I bought on the way home from Kobuta lunch. They were good but I prefer the ones with the white filling than the chocolate. But that's just me ????

A friend recommended me this bakery. We went on a cold November morning on a weekend. There is no designated parking lot, so we had to rely on street parking. This place looked like it?s just take out, didn?t see any seating inside. Coming to the bakery items, they had a lot of variety!! I was super impressed. I got a classic chocolate croissant which was yum!! The staff is super nice too, they helped me pick the bakery items. I highly recommend this place ????
