Our Favorite West Seattle Businesses
We may be a little biased, but West Seattle is one of our favorite neighborhoods. This is due to the numerous wonderful small businesses that proudly serve the community. From coffee shops to restaurants, gift shops, and fitness studios, we’re featuring some of our favorite West Seattle businesses that we highly recommend supporting, whether you’re gift shopping or looking to try a new cocktail.
Food, Coffee + Cocktails

This one's a must-visit! Bakery Nouveau has a breathtaking line-up of sweets and savories. From perfectly flakey croissants to delicious macarons and danishes, it's no surprise Bakery Nouveau has been featured in several local, regional, and national publications. West Seattle is the first of its three locations (the others are in Capitol Hill and Burien).
