“ Very small and cute bakery. Limited seating space so it's more of a get and go type of place. I wanted to buy all the pastries but limited myself to one matcha croissant as it was $10. I will say it is worth the money as it was delicious. Flaky exterior and very smooth matcha flavor really complimented well with each other. If you are a fan of matcha lattes I would totally recommend this pastry. Will definitely be going again. ”

“ A lovely French artisanal bakery local to the charming town of Lexington. With plenty of decedent items made fresh daily & with quality ingredients, Nouvé is a perfect morning stop for a delicious cup of coffee and an exquisite French pastry. While there, we just had to try at least a few of their insanely appetizing looking pastries. A perfect blend of flavor & texture with a sublime freshness to seal the deal. If I had to make one recommendation it would be for them to setup an oven to heat up the croissants at a customers request. ”

“ This is not your average bakery - the pan suisse is probably one of the best pastries that I've ever had, anywhere. Exquisitely flaky and with a unique, crispy, laminated exterior. It is unlike any pastry I've had and is honestly kind of mind blowing. They sometimes carry a hazelnut pastry with a similarly wild layer of crispy exterior lattice and with wonderful texture and flavor. The honeytoast is also super tasty as are their various croissants. If in the area, or if on the hunt for unique pastries, make sure to check this place out - and definitely get a pan suisse. I feel like it is only a matter of time before this place is discovered and becomes mobbed! ”

“ Small shop with stellar pastries. Ventured out to Nouve since my sister was in town to try their pastries and it did not disappoint. We tried their ham and cheese croissant and pain au chocolat and were impressed with how delicious they were. Definitely a top spot for anything laminated dough. There's so many other things to try I'll have to come back. The shop is small so it definitely can get crowded even when it's not super busy. Pastries are at a higher price point vs other popular spots in the Boston metro but I'd say it's worth it if you're in the area. The staff here are friendly and keep the line moving quickly. There's about 5-6 spots to sit and they're counter spots along the wall. Street parking was not hard to find around 9am on a Saturday. ”

“ The Honey toast was a taste of heaven! The outside crust was perfectly sweet and the inside was so soft and still so warm. I still cannot stop thinking about it! The Miso scallion was so flaky and crispy on the outside. The Subtle bites of savoriness on the inside was perfection. Do not be deterred from the line as it does move fast! The bakery is very small and there a few seats against the wall for a quick bite but don't plan on enjoying your breakfast there. If the weather is nice, there are a few tables outside! Cannot wait to go back! ”

“ I was torn on whether or not to share this review with the world. Selfishly of course because Nouvé is unquestionably the best croissant you will get in Massachusetts. No one comes close. Not even by a mile! I spent several months in Paris and this is as close as it gets here. RUN to Nouvé for showstopping laminated pastries. We're talking both sweet pastries (chocolate, danish, seasonal specialties) and savory (miso scallion and ham and cheese). The employees are so nice in answering my million questions and not rushing me as I hesitated to finalize just how many pastries I wanted to leave with. I came in thinking 2 and left with 4...ooops? No regrets though! The display is heavenly and it is well worth a spontaneous drive to Lexington for one (or many) croissants! ”

“ Easily the best pastries in the Boston area! This quaint little bakery has a ton of unique varieties, all which are equally as tasty. Service here was nice but moves pretty quickly - this spot is very popular and they definitely want people in and out. I ended up trying a pistachio pastry, a matcha pastry, and a fruit tart. They were all absolutely beautiful-looking and delicious. The price tag for these is quite high, but I think it's worth the hype. Keep in mind that there aren't really any spots to eat inside here, and on a cold winter day you'll probably just want to bring them back home with you. ”

“ Cute little bakery that opened this past February. Very conveniently situated for all the weekend cycling rides and the hordes of hungry cyclists looking to fuel up. Near impossible to walk past their window display of croissants and other pastries without stopping inside and grabbing at least one thing to try. (Their closing hours are noted with a "when things sell out." So if you get here late, they might still be open but the offerings would be skimpy.) Everyone behind the counter was very friendly and happy to offer recommendations. I went with two favorites - the fruit Danish and the Nouve soufflé for a balance of sweet and savory. The soufflé reminded me of a cheesy egg custard in the shape of a small loaf. Utterly delicious but pretty dense and heavy on the stomach. My favorite was the Danish. Nicely laminated, flaky layers, good chunk of filling and fresh fruit. It's takeout only but lots of benches nearby. As other reviews mentioned, the prices are pretty high (my two pastries and a drink were about $18) but the quality and care are there as well. ”
