Seattle has a new French bakery. Christine, the owner, arrived from France only 3 months ago with her husband, which is why their products are still very authentic.
So far I have only tasted the raspberry tartelette and the Paris-Brest, but they were both delicious!
Where to find the Best Baguette in Seattle?
To French people, bread is something serious. Especially baguettes. We have a large choice of great bakeries in Seattle but when it comes to baguettes, we are not as fortunate. I have two favorites: Columbia City Bakery and Bakery Nouveau.
Their baguettes are crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. They taste delicious.
When a baguette is good, it will never get all the way home in one piece. When I was little, I would walk to the Boulangerie to buy bread for the family dinner, and always ate the “croûton” (the extra crust at the tip of the baguette) on the way back… I still do.
And you, where do you buy your favorite baguette?
— Columbia City Bakery: 4865 Rainier Ave. S
— Bakery Nouveau: 2 locations
Crumble & Flake, have you heard of this tiny place on Capitol Hill?
My favorite pastries are the Ramos Gin Fizz Macaron (Gin, Lemon and Orange Blossom) and also the Pistachios cherry Macaron.
I would also highly recommend the Chocolate Kouign Aman!
I am a big fan of that place but quantities are always limited so keep in mind that you need to go early.
They are open until 3pm (but they may close earlier if they sell out).
