Bakery Nouveau - Burien

The iced latte is delicious. Specifically the lavender flavour. Loved the almond croissant ? and sandwiches. I do recommend to try macaroons. They are delicious ?

Final food destination of the trip! Conveniently, this outpost of Bakery Nouveau was located close to our hotel by the airport, so we really loaded up before catching our flight.Here's the thing with this place: the food is OUTSTANDING (and worth waiting for , the staff is fantastically helpful and kind, and yet...the logistical operation/function is downright lunacy and idiocy.Let's start with the aforementioned poor layout/planning. You wait on the line, that's simple enough to figure out, and then once you get inside by the counter, you're IMMEDIATELY asked what you would like to order. However, you've only seen, like, 10% of the display case at that point, so you have to wait until you mosey down the line to get the full gist of what's available. You pay out, no problem there, and then huddle by the coffee station to get your drinks. There is a HUGE backspace area that is empty where small cafe tables could easily go...but the folks here decide that would be too much of a luxury for the denizens of Seattle, so you have to go back outside and sit in the fine Pacific Northwest mizzle. Is there ANYTHING set up outside to help the customer? Something such as, oh...say....a garbage can? No! Is there a garbage can near the door? No! You have to go through the throng to get to the only one by the coffee station, which is also the only place dispersing napkins. This whole kafkaesque setup screams: Get your pastries and get the hell out of here! But you know what? Some of us would like to sit down in the heat inside and enjoyed the goodies that we just paid a pretty penny for! If not for such a customer UNfriendly situation, we would have happily given them five stars.Now the good stuff: almost everything we ordered! Our least favorite items were the chocolates which were a bit too buttery for our tastes and the filling of the macarons, which was more like raw cake batter. But still, both items were good and we loved the yuzu and lavender flavors in the chocolates, and especially enjoyed the pistachio and blood orange macarons (there were more ordered.... . The breakfast croissant is not to be missed!!! And they heated it up, which made it extra divine with the flakiness contrasting with the warmth of the meat and eggs. SO decadent and so good. Another sleeper hit: the Zebra cake (black and white cake with a thin chocolate shell , which was better than you could find in a NYC deli.On the plane, we shared the ham and cheese baguette, and it was perfection with the hint of mustard and cornichons. Our daughter ate most of a mini pretzel which was wonderfully cooked with just the right amount of chew.So, overall, the food here was memorable and special; we only wish that they cared more about the customer experience in their actual space. Maybe we'll check another location out the next time we're in Emerald City.

I am so glad I don't live closer to Nouveau (I'd weigh a ton). Multiple locations. A friend in W Seattle hosted Easter brunch. The quiche was the best I've ever had and I make a mean quiche. I always hated Macarons, but I tried one after brunch and this is a whole different story. Also snagged a loaf of dark rye that looks amazing.

Get there early because this is a popular spot your favorites may sell out. We had savory ham cheese croissants and split an almond croissant. The pastry is buttery and flaky and delicious! Almond croissants are one of my favorites and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I don't really think you can go wrong here if you are in Burien and want a treat.

Good selection of pastries and wide variety of sandwiches. The brisket potato egg pastry is a top notch item, and the sausage and cheese biscuit had delicious herbs baked in. Had a drip coffee—just right on flavor. clean store, kind staff, parking on site!
