"We all know about the double-baked almond croissant here—it’s one of Seattle’s most iconic dishes. But the non-sugary butter croissant is also worthy of local fandom, with a crackly-but-not-too-crumbly exterior and lightness that belies its size. Elsewhere on the menu, there's also a squishy Junction croissant sandwich stuffed with bacon, ham, white cheddar, and eggs that makes regular ol’ rolls look silly." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Home to a wide selection of pastries and cakes (including French entremets), this bakery — with locations in West Seattle, Capitol Hill, and Burien — has a little bit of everything. Chocolate lovers should head straight for the rich, classic chocolate slice, while those in search of a lighter option may want to check out the strawberry pistachio." - Kurt Suchman
"With West Seattle, Capitol Hill, and Burien shops, this bakery has one of the widest and best varieties of spot-on pastries in the city. Currently, all locations will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but will remain open Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m." - Eater Staff
"This West Seattle bakery — with outposts in Burien and Capitol Hill as well — has landed on Eater’s list of best bakeries in the city. For the holidays, it’s offering a variety of classic treats, including chocolate pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and stollen (a German bread filled with candied citrus, cranberries, almonds, marzipan, and almond butter). Orders need to be in by November 24, with pickup on November 27 up until 7 p.m." - Gabe Guarente
"Forget the Declaration Of Independence, The Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, and Lady Gaga - Bakery Nouveau is a real national treasure. You’ll find some of the best French pastries in Seattle here, but you can’t miss the double-baked almond croissant. It’s fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and leaves a trail of flaky crumbs and powdered sugar wherever it goes. Stop in here if you want a special but quick breakfast." - Aimee Rizzo
