In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Eater Seattle included Bakery Nouveau in an overview of "where to buy fresh bread and pastries for takeout or delivery in Seattle right now" and said, "this bakery has one of the widest and best varieties of spot-on pastries in the city". [10] The website's Dylan Joffe and Gabe Guarente included the business in a 2020 overview of "where to order delectable pies in Seattle this Fall" and wrote, "Though many fans come to this West Seattle bakery for the twice-baked croissants, the multitalented shop also produces an impressive selection of rotating and seasonal pies and tarts. Dutch apple, coconut creme, and chocolate pecan are just a few favorites." [11]

Alana Al-Hatlani included the bakery in Eater Seattle's 2021 list of "12 places to get some stellar cake slices in the Seattle area". [4] The website also included Bakery Nouveau in a 2022 overview of the city's best bakeries. [1] Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation recommended the twice-baked almond croissant and wrote, "Lunch here is also great – the croque monsieur is one of the best ham sandwiches around." [2]
