Bakery Nouveau

★★★★☆ 4.4 (421) • $$

"This Bakery Nouveau location can be found across the street from WAMOS with a small parking lot. In the mood for something sweet, my husband, our little girl dog and I decided to check out this location (I had one of their locations in Seattle bookmarked but was surprised to see on Yelp that there was another location closer to where we were since we happened to be in Federal Way). We came by this afternoon a little after 2 pm. We were able to get parking and walked in. After looking around the bakery cases, we ended up ordering:Coconut Cookie, $2.75- This coconut cookie has cashews and chocolate caramel chips mixed in with toasted coconut. The ingredients in this cookie intrigued me and am glad I decided to get it because it was really good. I really liked the taste of all the flavors of this cookie. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice chew to it. I would order this again. Twice Baked Almond Croissant, $6- My husband opted to get this croissant. I didn't have any but he and our little girl devoured it. There was an almond filling inside and the croissant was nice and flakey. Birthday Macron, $2.50- I just love birthday flavored anything and so I had to get this. There was actual birthday cake in the macron filling, which surprised me because I have never had a macron that had cake in it. I really enjoyed it and so did my little girl. --------------------------- (Total= $11.25) After we purchased our items, we sat outside with our little girl. Although it was a sunny afternoon, the umbrellas were able to keep the sun off our faces. Service was friendly. We were greeted upon entering and the employees behind the counter were all very friendly. I can see why this location's overall rating is ~ 4.5 stars with nearly 400 reviews. I really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back when I am in town."

"This darling family-run pop-up next to Foley"s ROCKS! Besides coffee, tea, juice and lemonade, they stock a WIDE variety of bakery treats. I can tell a real pastry chef is in the house! We tried...*Chocolate chip cookie - It's as big as my face! This cookie with mild buttery toffee notes has a very tender crumb and contains some huge dark chocolate disks as well as some chips. Great quality chocolate! *Lemon crumble bun isn't a cheap grocery store sticky roll. It's delicate buttery layers are very tender and had just the right amount of sweet lemon curd and a hint of cinnamon to keep me coming back for more! *Raspberry crumble bun also had a melt in your mouth tender texture. The raspberry fulling was mostly pooled in the center at the bottom but I enjoyed the whole berries on top Next time I'm going for the lemon blueberry croissant and a quiche....which look AMAZING!"

"Everybody knows about the coconut cream pie, everybody. IF NOT, remedy that vacancy IMMEDIATELY!!!-it truly is the platonic ideal of coconut desserts, if not coconut used in edible form.HOWEVER, today (after intermittently consuming edibles from this purveyor of baked goods since transplanting here some 25 years ago, I review donuts (as most reviews). I am a proverbial zombie to engage in a first bite of a Donut.A Sunday morning found me and my adolescent in tow with some extra time and I could not remember the last time I crossed the threshold of the bakery (rather than enjoying branded treats at another of Tom Douglas's eateries).Mochi-nuts, gluten free donuts.All six flavors, equal in function and form.Guava, orange-tamarind, dirty chai, German chocolate, funfetti, and matcha yuza,The orange tamarind had a vibrancy and zing not unlike my homemade cold brew coffee (that I'm petty sure isn't street legal with its concentration of consumable caffeine). Spark.Zest.We wanted more.Thankfully there were other donuts in the box.All delicious, all of them. This is truly an Indian statement for me to make regarding fried dough.But, they all are good.The orange does stand tall among giants this morning.As evidenced, the picture today was lucky to have captured half-eaten pastry as they quickly disappeared."

Iron Rooster Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $$$

"OMGThis place has been on my "must try" list for, like, evs. Well today was the day as I found myself in Fairhaven, hangry, and needing more caffeine. From the moment I got out of my car I could smell the amazing deliciousness emanating from this tiny little bakery. And from the line at the counter, I'm guessing I wasn't the only one!Iron Rooster describes itself as a French bakery, and I can't disagree. Their display case was FULL of pastry deliciousness. From croissants and cakes to quiche and other delights, there was something for pretty much anyone. Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I opted for a bear claw - a gorgeously layered pastry stuffed with eggs, cheese, and sundried tomatoes. Warmed up perfectly, this little delight was absolutely delicious and satisfied my rumbling tummy.No sooner was I done biting into my bear claw when my vanilla oat milk latte arrived. Served in a 12-oz "here" cup and adorned with #latteart, it was a thing of beauty that I didn't really want to disturb. So I finished my bear claw and took a few lovely pics of my beverage before I dove in. I'll say it again: OMG. This is, I'm pretty sure, the best cup of coffee I've had in Bellingham. (And if you know me, you know I've had a LOT of coffee!)It was sweet, but not too sweet. Vanilla-y, but not too vanilla-y, creamy (like it was made with real milk, but it wasn't), and the coffee-to-other-stuff proportion was off the charts. I had trouble not drinking it too fast, and then more trouble not ordering a second one! I can hardly wait to go back and make sure this cup of java perfection was not an anomaly, but the real deal.My only regret about the Iron Rooster is that I didn't visit sooner. They've been open for awhile now and I can only live in sorrow at the coffee (and pastry) deliciousness I've been missing!"

Despi Delite Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (273)

"One can blindfold and take me here and I'll still be able to tell that it's a Filipino bakery, it's an ube paradise with many choices slapping with that specific purple coloring that you tell it's ube. Granted, we went in 15 minutes before closing so most things were clean off the shelf. Got an ube cheesecake, it was fire! Would like to come back during the day when there's more things in stock. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)"

"One of the best sandwiches and cookies I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and get an order to go and have a picnic at the beach down the street."

Avalanche Delite

★★★★☆ 3.8 (14) • $$

"Better than I expected - really 3 1/2 stars. Prices seemed better than the "big city' places - $6 for 2 med to large fro-yo's! The best flavor was definitely the coffee flavor (which I was surprised by since I don't usually like that flavor. Will most likely come back here."

Cakes By Creme de la Creme

★★★★☆ 4.3 (115) • $$

"The cake was delicious and beautiful. We requested German chocolate cake, and they created the best one I've ever had. They got the birthday year wrong on the cake (though it was correct on the form and email), but they fixed it perfectly when I picked it up (though the baker didn't seem happy about it). While we were there, we got two macarons to nibble. We found them crunchy and very hard throughout. Not what we expected. However, the cake was fresh, rich yet light, and clearly made with quality ingredients, and decorated beautifully."

La Fête Pâtisserie Française

★★★★☆ 4.4 (88) • $$$

"I love this little neighborhood French patisserie! Their croissants are buttery, flakey perfection. My favorites are the ham & cheese croissant, pain au chocolat and the pain aux raisin. The employees are always friendly and it's a great place to start your day."

Cake House

"Where I'll usually stop for coconut buns when I'm in the area a friend at work loves them. I need to try one the savory pastries next time. They were out of the regular coconut buns so got the large to cut up for friends at work. And pick up an egg tart for myself. One of the nicest owners told me the bun was still warm. Cash only.... oh"

85°C Bakery Cafe-Bellevue

★★★★☆ 3.7 (129) • $$

"This bakery offers a wide variety of delicious treats. I recently tried their strawberry and Black Forest cakes, both of which were delightful. The prices are fair, making it a great choice for anyone with a sweet tooth. I definitely suggest giving this place a try."

Mon Amie Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (277) • $$

"I almost don't want to write a review for this place because I worry that when people find out how good the croissants are, they will sell out before I can get any more. This place has hands down the best croissants I've ever had. Better than the ones in Paris even. They have regular croissants, chocolate, almond, and usually an almond chocolate one. The croissants are pure perfection - flaky, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I always get the chocolate croissant and you can tell it's made with quality chocolate. It's not very sweet and is just absolutely delicious. I don't think you can find a better chocolate croissant anywhere else. Make sure to get here early because they sell out of certain kinds of croissants (especially almond) really quickly. Why they don't make more croissants so they don't sell out by 9:30-10ish is beyond me. I've also tried a caramel chocolate tart here once that was also very good. You can't go wrong with anything you get here."

Crumble & Flake Patisserie

★★★★☆ 3.8 (5)

"They're still finding their feet and ramping up to regular schedule - the biggest casualty seems to be laminated dough as I haven't been able to have a croissant or kouign amann yet.That being said the stuff I have had reminds me why they were always my favorite patisserie in Seattle. We've tried a quiche, a biscuit (gruyere and bacon!), the brown sugar blueberry cake (a delicious take on a muffin), and a cream puff. All were awesome and worth coming back for. The biscuit in particular is one of the best savory biscuits I've had. Really strong flavors and not dry at all.Can't wait til they're running at full steam."

Despi Delite Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (311) • $$

"For stop three of five on my driving donut tour today, Sunday 27 November 2022, I came to Despi Delite Bakery. There is a small parking lot to the side of the building with parking reserved for customers, I parked in stall number 6 and there was one more stall beyond that. A family entered ahead of me and one after me. A hand sanitization station was located just inside the entrance and social distancing stickers were on the floor in the line area.Looking at the options, I saw the blue doughnut with the rainbow on it and decided I had to try it. The rainbow piece looked similar to some of the sour candy I like and I had not had a blue doughnut before, so it was time to give it a try. The workers were kind in their interactions and careful in extracting the doughnut from the case and putting it in its to-go container.Turns out not only was the rainbow a sour candy piece, the blue frosting had a subtle sour flavor to it. As someone who loves sour candy, this was very cool and a novel eating experience for me. Made me, my taste buds, and my belly happy. The clouds were closer to a whipped cream and the doughnut itself a yeast raised. Texturally light and fluffy, and a hearty serving size."

Sweet Themes Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (210) • $$

"I really REALLY liked this bakery. I almost forgot about it wow! And I can totally wait to go back because now I know that they have what I want! I stopped by looking for a slice of cake. Idk why but grocery store cakes just don't do it for me. I'd rather pay extra and get a good quality slice of cake. When I went in this day I came towards the end of the day and they didn't have any slices of cake left. I was pretty bummed out about it. I then saw the frosted cookies and immediately asked if they were soft! A lot of bakery's make frosted cookies and the cookie is hard and sometimes the frosting is hard too lol. The man told me that they were soft so I ordered that. I bought a cupcake as well because it looked good and duh! Go Seahawks! So when I got home the first thing I did was break off the cookie....this was like those old school home made sugar cookies that you would make and frost yourself. Very soft and thick omg. Almost like a soft short bread cookie. And I'm sure you can imagine how dangerous that must be lol. The frost was great! Not too sweet or too thick. The cupcake was good as well. Comparable to other bakery cupcakes. But those cookies! Man. Yes! Try them out! And tell me if you like the cake because I want to try that next."

Paper Cake Shop

"Really good and cute cakes! We came right at opening time and were the first in line. All their cakes are visible on display, and we just wanted a bite so we settled for the kill bill. The cake was really good! Moist, not too sweet, and every part was delicious. The raspberry and lemon balanced each other out well, and it was a heavenly bite. These cakes are quite expensive for the size though. It's a good place to sit at since the ambiance is also nice!"

Seoul Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (66)

"Quaint countertop corner located inside the HMart Market food court.Though it is not as expansive as a stand alone as 85°C or Sweet Hut, the popular variety is always found. Red & green bean breads, tapioca donuts, almond cookies.Sweet lady kind as ever. Feels like a neighborhood bakery with the sincere gratitude she expresses whether you buy a bag full or just a single donut.Made fresh daily and just enough to sell out daily.Chestnut balls a must when in season ;)"

Corina Bakery

"What an awesome mix of goodies to try! There are so many great baked goods here. The gluten free and dairy free options were fantastic too. The red velvet cupcake was one of the best I've had. Well worth stopping in when you are in Tacoma!Great food, great service!"

Blue Box Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (20) • $$

"I've been following this bakery for a while on Instagram and I love the creativity in their designs. I met Christina the pastry chef and owner and we reviewed wedding cake options.She was incredibly nice and professional. She had baked three gf nut based cakes with a thin buttercream layer so I could visualize the naked cake design I want.The cakes had a nice refreshing taste with local berries. They were also a really good size making my tasting fee of 20.00 well worth it as I was able to take a lot home.My favorite thing about the meeting was that Christina actually drew out my cake and used colored pencils so I could visualize what it would look like. No other place did that and I really appreciated her personalizing a picture for me to help me visualize the results.I really enjoyed her and her professionalism. It is also great that she offers gluten free baking. Excellent local bakery"

Hillcrest Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (280) • $

"Took a quick trip from work in Woodinville, I had planned to visit a newish bakeshop in Bothell. However, saw yet another annoying long line. So made a split second detour to Hillcrest Bakery instead, thankfully a much shorter line. Plus they have been in business since 1934, got to be doing something right as a local OG indie! There's ample parking, also both indoor and outdoor seating, variety of baked goods, but kind of dour, stoic counter staff. I had limited time, no time to dawdle. I purchased a chocolate ring, a bacon maple bar, and a pair of beef sausage rolls. Later at home, the doughnuts were deemed tasty. The sausage rolls held up overnight in the fridge. It would be great to see how they compare to ones from sites in Redmond and Seattle. Nice to see a classic, old school bakeshop in downtown Bothell going strong!"

Simply Desserts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (544) • $

"Simply delicious! The cakes were nice and moist and was so good. The ube cake was beautiful. I felt the flavors were a little subtle for the ube but the red velvet and chocolate were top notch. The cream cheese icing for the red velvet was my favorite! The brownie cupcake was so decadent I had to save that to each through out a couple days! But I felt it was even better cold."

Panterelli

★★★★★ 4.8 (27)

"I was thankful that I-5S and 99N were straightforward to/from Shoreline, because I made yet another attempt to check out Panterelli in West Seattle (7/8/23, 8/4/23) after first reading about this indie business in late June. I also had good luck finding nearby street parking in the Junction.I purchased one of each of the three choux items featured in the pastry case on Friday morning, see my attached Yelp photos of whole choux and later halved. Note: the pastry case does not have signage or prices placed with each product. I was charged a flat $17.85 plus tip - this was just under $21. Each item was nicely packaged in Barbie-pink containers with a clear lid and placed carefully in a bag. I was reminded to make sure to refrigerate these choux if not consumed immediately. Duly noted for filled pastries on a summer morning.I would have inquired further about ingredient details and prices. However, there was another individual ahead of me. Plus while in line, I was detecting a strong distinct scent of chocolate. Sure enough, while packaging my items, the presumed owner had to pause and remove a pan of melting chocolate off the burner. Not seeing another pastry assistant in the production area, this was a one man business this morning. It is wasteful to burn chocolate, especially when on direct heat and not melting via a bain marie. So I did not want to further distract the owner with random questions. Plus in my case, the intended choux aficionado does not have a nut, gluten, or lactose allergy. Just take the above into consideration if you or others may have allergies or sensitivities.I would have had an Illy coffee onsite, per the first Yelp review mentioning "Perfect espresso". But the limited indoor seating was all a jumble - chairs all askew among the few tables. Again, that would have been another pause for the owner. I decided to have an espresso elsewhere instead.This bakeshop's niche is focusing on choux pastries, familiar as éclairs or cream puffs. The light airy eggy pastry is filled and dipped with tasty ingredients. I appreciated the pastry cream, but did not really pick up the pistachio flavor profile. The pastry shells were thin so contents were generous, but led to the shells not remaining crisp and a bit soggy. It is telling that the other halves have not been immediately consumed by The Homie. This and other observations resulted in an overall 3 Yelp review. Instagram posts showed another pastry assistant in training. Glad to see that another indie is fairly successful from the get go with early shop closure due to product being completely sold out. Hopefully Panterelli will get their par numbers increased to allow for consistency and variety. West Seattle loves their dessert choices with nearby A la Mode Pies, Cupcake Royale, Flying Apron, and Bakery Nouveau...and now with the addition of Panterelli."

Le Bon Patisserie

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (50)

"I've been to Le Bon many times, each time trying something new. I want to support them enough to keep trying. Unfortunately, I haven't liked any item enough to buy the same thing repeatedly. Know what I mean?This time I did find something I like A LOT - the Nunetine, which is a glazed puff pastry. I've eaten inexpensive packaged versions (terrible!) and I've eaten similar ones from other local bakeries. This version might be my favorite. Plenty of almonds, just a hit of sweetness, very flaky pieces of pastries. In fact, I was surfing while I was eating and absentmindedly ate the entire bag. Oops. I called it lunch...The other item I bought is a slice of matcha roll cake. It's green, that's about as matcha as it gets. This was a disappointment.Well, I'm sure they still have more things worth trying. Its location is very convenient, inside the H-Mart plaza, so I'll still be back."

The Cat & Rabbitt Cake Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (84)

"Hard to believe that a cake business can operate and be successful selling cake through a window. But when your cake is this good I think you could sell it out my of the trunk of your car and still do well. For those who don't understand, this is a walk up cake shop that posts their daily flavors on the wall (and I guess on the internet) and people walk up to get their fix! My wife and I split a piece of Carrot Cake. It was huge, and amazing! Not too sweet, but full of flavor. The cake was very heavy (in a good way) and super moist. We did find it weird that if you sell "to go" food that you don't have forks available. We had to go to a gas station to get s couple of forks to eat our cake."

Rosellini's

Salvadorean Bakery & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (414) • $$

"Bakery / restaraunt. Gets crowded in the front bakery, but the dining area didn't feel any more available. I waited in line slightly confused for about 10 minutes. Of course after a minute or 2 I asked a server how the ordering system worked. While I waited to order I had time to snap photos and stare in amaze at all their beautifully displayed pastries.Fast forward. The food was amazing. So was the patry I ordered. The napoleon. Lowkey too much cream, but luckily it was very light. I'd most def try their other dessert offerings. As far as I could tell my food was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. Can't wait to come back. The interior was very bright and clean. The servers were all very busy and nice. The type of place you could eat at often. Great for a simple date or even to bring a family or large party. I would not come here for a fancy date. Based on what I could tell they offer breakfast and lunch all day. Their selection was more than acceptable. Best of all, parking was simple."

La Parisienne French Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (681) • $$

"How did I not know about this authentic French bakery in the heart of Belltown sooner? These pastries taste just like the ones from Paris, France. Some of the staff and the customers even speak French, so you know it's legit. La Parisienne offers a delicious selection of cakes, pastries, and sandwiches. They also serve coffee. It is a bit pricey, as the pastries and desserts are quite intricate. I do think they are worth it though, as a little treat, as each item is crafted beautifully with multiple layers, edible details like a chocolate logo, and perfectly balanced. There are a few tables at the bakery, and it is usually bustling with people, especially in the mornings. It is relatively easy to find street parking right in front of or across the street of the bakery, but it is not free unless you come on Sunday or holidays."

Pike Place Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (121)

"I so wanted to like Pike Place Bakery, but their quality just isn't great.After picking up some cheesy jalapeño bread and a cinnamon twist for the honey, he straight up disliked the bread to the point we threw it out - which almost never ever happens. The cinnamon twist wasn't too bad (definitely better than Cinnamon Works down the way), but he ended up telling me he prefers the baked goods from Whole Foods so we just haven't gone back.All in all, if you're at Pike Place I'd skip Pike Place Bakery and get your items at Three Girls Bakery across the street."

Mama Row’s Caramel Cake

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"We were walking alongside Alki Beach and stumbled upon this caramel cake pop up. The owner was drizzling his cakes with caramel and said that the cakes are made fresh daily. We sampled a piece and bought a cake for the road. The owner said that he learned his recipe from his late mother, which I thought was a sweet tribute to her. I'm happy to be able to support a small business from a kind owner eating a cake that is very delicious, moist, and unique. I would definitely purchase more if I lived in Seattle. Looks like you can order these cakes via DoorDash and Uber eats as well as their website for delivery or pickup in the Seattle area. Give these cakes a try and you don't be disappointed!"

Columbia City Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (429)

"If you're lucky enough to swing by from Thursday through Saturday, you can enjoy some of the best baked goods ever at Columbia City Bakery. Here are my top five favorite things to order. If you're coming on a Saturday, you may want to order online in case they run out.Turkey Sandwich - I realize this isn't the sexiest item, but this will change the way you feel about a brown bag lunch.Brownies - Perfection! Microwave it for a few seconds and mix it with sweet cream ice cream for Molly Moon.Any kind of scone - These are to die for. If you see one with bacon, cheddar and dates, you have to try it.Campagne Pan Loaf - Slice, then rub with butter and salt. Some of the best bread you'll ever have. Savory Hand Pies - I had one with chorizo, potato and peppers. The crust alone is the stuff of dreams.Note to self, I need to try the freezer waffles next. They are calling my name. Loudly."

T M Dessert Works

★★★★★ 4.8 (104)

"Ordered the strawberry bagatelle for my daughters 1st birthday and it was a hit! Some said it was the best cake that they had in a long time. The cake is lighter than typical cakes which makes it special.The decor on the cake is well done too. Overall great cake - not the cheapest though. The 3/4 sheet cake was $140.Rating is based on the cake only. Some of the downside of the bakery is that they have limited hours on certain days and only accept cash / check. Also - my wife mentioned that she received a message from the bakery and it wasn't the most pleasant voicemail. If you're looking for a cake to impress - give T M Desserts a try. Just be prepared to pay in cash or check and be okay w the hours that the bakery is open."
