We have been going to Besalu every weekend for years. Having grown up in France, I attest that these may very well be the best croissants and pain au chocolates in North America. We've tried every boulangerie in Seattle, and this is hands down the best. In fact, we have been hard pressed to find comperable ones in France when we go visit.
Well with the detour.
Delicious quiche and pain au chocolat!! Best I have found. Deliciously flaky and fresh. All the pastries are handmade in house! And the espresso is wonderful as well. ���

Small, neighborhood bakery. There is usually a line outside the door, but it goes quickly. There are benches outside for waiting and for eating, and a few tables inside as well.
Their croissants are some of the best in Seattle. They're buttery and flaky and have beautiful layers. We also tried the onion gruyere croissant. It was chocked full of flavor-- the onions were perfectly caramelized and the cheese was slightly crispy on top.
A tiny cute bakery.
There are small round tables inside, outside has benchs, a few tables and stools.
Parking may little tricky since they locates on a big road.
Small celections but they keep baking so that they restock their products pretty often. We were there on Sunday around 10 am. Busy and already a line of people.
We got 2 quiche, 2 pastries and a cup of chai.
Cardamom pretzel was amazing. Quiches were ok.
We would like to try their other pastries for next time.
"Oh snap!" is all I can say. Had a croissant with bacon and it's a good thing I was sitting down. Buttery? Check! Flaky? Check! Light and fluffy? Check! Check! My day was done after eating this bit of heaven. Do yourself a favor if in Ballard and get a bunch of these to share with friends.

By far the best bakery in Seattle. Their croissants are excellent. Their quiche is creamy and crispy and buttery. Never had a bad or average pastry here. I really hope they re-open.
Googled coffeshop and Besalu popped up.. I mentioned they had great reviews and this was my first time in. I ordered a beautiful machinations and the Barista gave me a chocolate croissant on the house! I highly recommend this place . Great customer service and coffee and awesome customer service!
As others have said, this is the best bakery in Seattle - by leaps and bounds. Croissants so airy and flakey it’s like eating buttery clouds. I check back here often to see if they’ve reopened, and sincerely hope with all my quiche-loving heart that they do reopen.
I came here on a cloudy Sunday and ordered a Pain au Chocolat after a few minutes of waiting. I like the slight bitterness of the chocolate with the crispy layers of the croissant. Worth waiting in a line for this.
Worth the wait! They have a large selection of unique, delicious pastries that are well priced. I had the pistachio croissant and it was fantastic! There’s indoor and outdoor seating and the food is packaged nicely for take-away, as well. You can buy whole bean coffee in addition to your typical coffee drinks. A must visit and conveniently located near the farmer’s market!
This place is pretty close to my place and it seems very recommended. So I gave it a try and it was really pleasant visit. I really like the quiche and the sweet pastry too. Would like to make another visit to try the other menu here :)
This place has one of the best chocolate croissants that I've ever had, and I just got back from France. The quiches are also amazing here. I heard on the weekends the lines are out the door but we went on a Monday at 11ish and there was still a small line. Very popular place.
