The shop
A window onto the bench.
We're a grab-and-go counter in Lexington Center — no indoor seating, an open kitchen, and a case that often sells out before noon. Pre-order if you're coming for a box; walk in for whatever just came out of the oven.

Age-old French methods. Asian ingredients.
Nouvé opened in Lexington Center in 2024 — a small storefront on Massachusetts Avenue with bakers in view and a line out the door. The daily board lives on Instagram; this site is the quieter place to find hours, pre-order, and gift cards.
