This page is a sampling of some of the items available at Bakery Nouveau. Our menu varies seasonally and sometimes even weekly, depending on what ingredients are in season. Because we strive to have the freshest products possible, pricing and availability are subject to change without notice, and might not be reflected on this page. For our current selection and prices, please call us at 206-923-0534, and we’ll be happy to answer your questions!

Product Orders

Our café always has a large selection of fresh baked goods and desserts to choose from, which are sold on a first come, first serve basis. However, if there are specific items you want, and they are currently in season, we are happy to take a pre-paid order. For this, we require a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice. Why 48 hours? It lets us place your order into our production schedule, either adjusting our normal batch sizes or starting a batch just for that order. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can assist you in person while you are in the café, or by phone at 206-923-0534. We currently do not take orders through e-mail, although we are happy to answer questions about product availability. Please note that chocolates and macarons may require 72 hours or more, due to a longer production cycle. Please call or e-mail for further information, we would be happy to help you"
