5 Best Bakeries for Croissants in Downtown Bellevue

Royal Bakehouse
The biggest croissant in Bellevue at Royal Bakehouse.

Every weekend, we look forward to visiting a different bakery in Downtown Bellevue and ordering a delicious pastry, paired with a big cup of coffee. In particular, a bakery with dreamy croissants that make us want to come back the following weekend. We’ve put together a list of bakeries that leave us dreaming about them during the weekdays.

L’Experience Paris – Bellevue

Flaky, buttery and soft on the inside, these croissants come highly recommended. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or take it go and cozy up at home. The bakery is located in Soma Towers and offers parking in their underground garage.

Royal Bakehouse

The newly opened Downtown Bellevue bakery has the biggest croissants in all of Bellevue. Flaky yet soft, you have to order more than one croissant at a time. They also offer delicious coffee, as well as other pastries that make for a perfect weekend brunch for one or multiples!

 

The French Bakery

Home Comfort Alliance 300 x 250 - March 2026

Consistenly voted best bakery, The French Bakery in Downtown Bellevue offers perfectly baked croissants that pair just right with their Italian coffee. Their pastries are baked daily and ordering ahead is available.

Dote Coffee Bar

Located at Lincoln Square South, Dote Coffee Bar has amazing pastries, notably, their various croissants. They feature plain, chocolate, and twice baked almond. Our favorite at this bakery is the chocolate croissant. It has the right amount of flaky, buttery, chocolatey goodness! Pair it with their many coffee options or other beautiful pastries.

Belle Pastry

A Main Street staple in Old Bellevue is Belle Pastry. They have such delicious pastries and we highly recommend their croissants. They have a large assortment, including ham and cheese, raisin, chocolate, raspberry cream cheese, and more. Our favorite to order on repeat is their twice baked almond croissant. Every bite is heavenly. We also recommend ordering their petit croissant assortment so that you can try one of each!

What are your favorite bakeries in Downtown Bellevue to order croissants and other pastries? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
