My next quarter starts in a couple weeks and I will be taking introduction to baking and pastry. What better way to see what this world of bakery/pastry has to offer than checking out Bakery Nouveau? Chef William Neeman is the 2005 World Cup of Baking Gold Medal Winner and it doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to the world of baking.
This isn’t my first experience with Bakery Nouvea. My sister lives in West Seattle and has purchased a few items from them and she gave me the chance to indulge in the awesomeness. I have been waiting for the right time so I called her up and said let’s go to Bakery Nouveau (I rhyme!). We went there just as the lunch crowd was getting there so there was a line out the door. My sister was telling me that the day before Christmas the line was out the door and a bit down the street…..I’m not surprised.
However, I was totally surprised that they served lunch and even more excited that they served pizza. When it comes to pizza, crust is the most important part to me. Anyone can throw together a bunch of ingredients but if you mess up the crust then who cares. I’ve been to a few (a lot) of pizza places in Seattle and I’ve found a few that do crust right but nothing like Bakery Nouveau’s. Of course they would do crust right….duh! I ordered a spicy pork and a beef meatball pizza……….the crust………..perfect!
My sister ordered a baguette sandwich with turkey and swiss. Again, perfect.
Oh yes, I ordered some desserts to go………..you must! Here is a picture of them once I got home.
I always complained to people about how I could never find a great bakery here in Washington. Spending tons of time in Puerto Rico as a little kid and other places we lived in/travelled to it seemed like other cities had a few great bakeries. I’m happy to say that I can stop complaining……..Bakery Nouveau is a great bakery. I haven’t had anything that has come out of there that has been subpar. Excellent, brilliant, mesmerizing, and perfect.

Wow, wow, wow. I have to agree with you, everything looks good and if you and your sister say that it is delicious, I believe it. The pastries look amazing and I love the way they wrapped the baguette. I also agree with you with the pizza crust. I hate crappy pizza crust. You have to take Dad there.
