I love coming here to grab breakfast before walking about Pike Place in the morning. There is always a long line here, but the lines move quick. I always get the almond croissant, the peach croissant, and a London fog. I ordered 4 almond croissants this time and they packaged them in a box for me to take on the plane! The croissants tasted just as good heated up 2 days later. I do wish their dining area is open like before, but I do understand because of the pandemic. Hopefully they will open the seating area back up in the future! read more

The chocolate croissant is heavenly. Easily the best bakery in Seattle. The service was pretty good and efficient.

A must go spot at pike place ! I'm not a fan of macarons because they tend to be too sweet for me but the macarons That I got here were so good. They have just the right amount of sweetness that I love. Texture was crunchy but soft at the same time If that makes any sense LOL. read more

As always long waiting lines for this place.. But they have good pastries and cookies too. My personal favorite are Pain Au Chocolat, Chocolate Eclair, Pistachio Eclair. They were so good here!! Must try while in the Pikes Place area! read more

I came here with my bestie ! The pastry was amazing & quick service which I love! Everything tasted delicious and fresh! Will be coming back soon ! read more

Always a must stop when I'm at Pikes! Had the chocolate/almond croissant-my #1 favorite! Didn't disappoint! Fantastic with a coffee! So many other delicious items to try! With Covid the line wasn't as long as usual, but they seemed to have a flow of customers. All staff & customers were masked up!! read more

First time there today and everything we tried was exceptional! Chocolate croissant, raspberry croissant, carmelized croissant, macarons, café au lait, café mocha and hot chocolate. Yum! Allison helped us - she was warm, friendly and helpful. We watched her assist a deaf couple by signing letters which was brave and heartwarming. I have to say she made the experience a '10' - We will definitely be back! read more

I am so in love with this place. Simple, sweet, and delicious!!! This has to go on my top of my list for french bakeries! If you are in the area, you have to visit this place. There may be a line, but it is well worth it to try out their pastries and London Fog! I am such a sucker for London Fog. For those who don't know what it is, it is a earl grey tea latte meaning it has a earl grey tea with whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. It was full of flavor and if you're a tea lover, you have to try their London Fog! All of the same sizes were the same price so I just whole the large one for $3.00! How awesome is that?!?!? My boyfriend got a classic Pain au chocolat which is not my favorite in general but he loved it. I tried the Au jardin which was a garlic bread with tomato and zucchini baked on top. There was so much flavor in that piece and also the last one on the window!! It was so good. Downside was that they were not able to warm up the pastry but nevertheless, it was so good. read more

I went there early 8am so no line. Service was quick and everything was delicious... for real.. my favorite is the chocolate almond croissant, I also like the spinach thing.. ohh and the mocha is really good.. Yup, i didnt take any pics because my mouth and hands are all busy eating read more

Pretty amazing pastries. A couple doors down from the original Starbucks and across from Pile Market, this is the heart of the tourist area. I had the almond croissant and a coffee. Pretty amazing croissant! Standing tables only so not a place to linger but we'll worth a visit. read more

Dubbed as the best pastry shop in Pike Place Area, Le Panier does not disappoint travelers or locals alike. A strong whiff of butter smell greats your nostrils upon entry, and the line up makes the anticipation of a fluffy croissant all the more enticing. The almond chocolate croissant is clearly the winner here with its perfect ratio where almonds never overwhelm the chocolate. Do not miss the oh-so-delish macarons that shall give you the highest dopamine high - so fresh so puffy and the filling so impeccably delicate. While on the way back home, pick up couple dozens of petite palmier to munch along or as souvenir to friends. Their espresso bar uses Umbria Roaster and the barista makes a dope shot with so much creme. Will definitely be back every time when we pass by Seattle. read more

Brittany to self while strolling along in Pike Place: "Huh, that pastry shop seems to be quite busy and popular. Butttt could those all be hungry tourists who would purchase any ole' croissant?" Pulls up Yelp app. Holy shit, I just randomly stumbled upon one of the top rated bakeries in town. "Huh, it must be a sign. I must *need* a pastry right about now. Say whaaaatttt?!? They have a 2-in-1 chocolate AND almond croissant? You mean they fold *both* chocolate and almond cream into the center before sprinkling slivered almonds on top?" Wowza. It was as good as it sounds, you guys. The adorable young woman working behind the counter took everything to the next level with her friendliness. Note: no wifi and space is limited. Pop in, nab the chocolate almond croissant and post a photo on Yelp so I can relive it vicariously through you. read more

Yep, still love it here at Le Panier! Oh geez, what is more French then the smell of fresh bread in the wee hours of the morning? Such a welcoming aroma! Besides Starbucks, and Piroshky Piroshky - Le Panier must have one of the longest lines in the morning in Downtown Seattle for breakfast! You can't help but be drawn to the sexy French smells coming from here! I really don't know the French names of all the stuff I ever order at Le Panier. All I do is point at this, point at that, point at this, point at that, point at my tummy, then point at the register. Although I'm fairly sure they all speak English!! It's just I'm too busy being enamored by all the French pastry goodies to even care. It's like being bombarded by CARBS...glorious CARBS!! I think this time around we got a croissant, something with veggies on it that looked like a pizza, and a baguette sandwich. Yes, you must have a baguette! But no matter what we get it's always yummy! I love a good baguette - crusty on the outside yet warm & chewy on the inside. I have a warm, fuzzy feeling for the baguette sandwiches at Le Panier, especially the roast beef one. Meat, tomato, lettuce & horseradish sauce - easy breakfast meal! One of my favorites. They are well known for their macarons and tarts too, I have yet to try them! Nom nom nom..that's how I think I sound when I chew on a baguette! read more

The line is usually wrapped around the corner for this place but we got lucky passing by when it was short, so decided to stop in. We ordered the hambon mornay (ham and cheese croissant). It was warm and delicious. The croissant was flaky and buttery. I would have liked a bit more ham and cheese inside, but it was still pretty good. read more

Busy shop even as Pike's Place is closing down on a Saturday afternoon. I needed ready-made sandwiches for a hike the next day and a local friend brought me here. I ended up grabbing a dessert that looked good, too. * Baguettes (ham, beef, & veg) - 2.5 stars These worked to bring on a hike in a pinch, but are very simple, classic baguettes. The french bread was quite hard and each one comes with basically 2-3 ingredients. * Rhubarb crumble to go - 4 stars This had a soft buttery crust and tasty fillling! read more

Le Panier - Rhubarb crumble to go - 4 stars. Soft buttery crust, good sweet flavors. Sat afternoon 2018-05-26 - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oh man, thank god they don't have one of these in Los Angeles. I'd be addicted. The breads and pastries bring me back to France in the best possible way. My ham sandwich was perfection, thin baguettes that are crunchy but not doughy. Delicious coffee, croissants from heaven. Don't let the line discourage you, it's well worth it! read more

Whenever I go to Pike Place, the journey starts here! This is possibly the best bakery in Seattle. I've never had a bad pastry, and their bread is amazing (and often sells out early). Do yourself a favor-join the line here instead of that famous coffee joint next door, get an espresso drink, and some pastries, and tuck in! You'll thank me later read more

Went to this place on a Thursday morning and the place was decently packed. I ordered the pistachio eclair and pumpkin macaron. The pumpkin macaron was soft and had a nice crunch to it. It wasn't hollow and wasn't too sweet as well. Really fluffy and they tasted great! The pistachio eclair was delicious as well! There was a nice amount of filling but kind of sweet. It was also kind of small for the price. Overall, a pretty good dessert place and I'd recommend others to come try it out. read more

Long lines but not as long as the Starbucks around the corner. Wasn't a fan of their croissants (I actually prefer Costco buttery croissants). I didn't care for their pork pate. Doesn't have that much flavor, strong pickle taste, and bread was whatever to me. I liked their mushroom pastry. Inside of the store, it smelled like buttery and fresh baked breads, but other than it's a bit over hyped and over priced. read more

Amazing place & vibe. Feels really European like in France. I love their selection of macaroons. I highly recommend rhubarb tart and black currant macaroons. I'll be back for coffee and more treats read more

I see why there is always a line out the door. I've never had macaroons before and finally tried some. I'm a true believer in them now. We weren't even off the street and they were all gone. read more

We stopped by because of the macaroons. I had 6 different flavors and all were superb! The macaroons were soft and had that "light crunch" you would normally get with macaroons. You can taste the flavors, meaning they didn't skimped on that part. If it says mocha, you will taste the mocha. My favorite is the passion fruit and will definitely have to get more of it next time! read more

I got the almond croissant and the chocolate croissant. The almond croissant had a lovely paste in the center. I was only going to eat half, but I could not stop - it was that good! So I finished, more like scarfed down the entire thing. I don't normally like chocolate croissants, but I got it since they said it was one of their most popular items. I'm so glad I did. And I see why now. The chocolate tasted like premium dark chocolate and it just felt like luxury in my mouth. Hahah. Everything looked yummy and smelled great. I like their system of how they ring you up, I feel it makes the line move faster (I don't know if it really does), but I feel like the experience is much more personable. read more

Two words: tres bien! Pastries- fantastic, flakey, and so many varieties to choose from. We had... -raspberry croissant (the raspberry jam inside was extremely sweet, but pastry perfection) -palmier (sweet with a gorgeous, flakey, buttery texture) -assorted macaroons (the lemon had a nice bold flavor, pistachio and raspberry mild, or understated, and chocolate disappointed) Pricey, as expected right off Pike's place market. read more

The bakery is on the same block as Piroshky and the Original Starbucks. They sell I really diverse selection of pastries, including sweet and salty, I tried about 4 of them (in different days haha) and I loved them. Their croissants are as good as it gets. They also have hot and cold drinks. If you come early in the morning before 10AM there will be a short line but not big deal. There is no seating right now due to covid, but you could walk back to the picnic area (in the entry of the Pike Market) and enjoy your food there. They also have to-go gift sets of cookies, palmiers, and some others. The also have a good selection of coffee and tea, both hot and cold. Prices are similar to other pastries like Piroshky read more

Le Panier is truly a "very french bakery", as promised! The line was not too bad on a Monday or Wednesday, despite it being in the very popular Pikes Place Market. We tried a lot. The amandine croissant. The Kouign aman aux pommes was topped beautifully with soft, roasted applies. Croissant aux fruits had a dollop of pastry cream with half an apricot nestled in the middle. The chocolate eclair was small and rich. The au jardin was a fresh, savory flatbread with a generous layer of zuchinni and melted cheese. Champignons was like a puff pastry cup of creamy mushroom delight. I liked the packaging, it's classy and simple....very french, as their packaging denotes. This is pastry with finesse and that certain, shall we say - je ne sais quoi? read more

My friends and I were walking through Pike Place and we stopped to ask a woman where she recommended we get some coffee. She told us to visit Le Panier and to also pick up some passion fruit macarons while we were there. Let me tell you, that was possibly the best macaron I have ever had! It was so fresh and the passion fruit flavor was very intense. Waiting in a line that nearly went out the door was well worth it. I also ended up getting a small cup of coffee. It was very strong but that made for a great afternoon pick-me-up. I definitely recommend visiting for the delicious macarons! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. LOVE this place. Everytime I walk through Pike place market I have to stop in here and pick up something. I think I have tried almost everything that they on their menu(except their lunch sandwiches, but I intend to try that soon) and love it all. Today I picked up a few macrons(chocolate, caramel, lemon, pistachio), a chocolate eclair, palmiers, and a normandie. I loved the normandie and some of the macarons and palmiers I have already had and I am looking forward to enjoying the rest. read more

One of the best places in the area to get fresh pastries and great coffee. Came here multiple times during my Seattle visit and everything was great, service was exceptional and food was fantastic. All the croissants I tried were great , my favourite is the fruit (apricot) one , the raspberry/classic/chocolatine were all also good. For savoury, I tried the chicken/onion & bacon/potato and both were great , I also tried a couple coffees and really enjoyed them. Very few places get it right with the fresh ingredients and great service and clean (highly visited) area but this is one of them! Macrons were also decent and coffee doesn't take too long, the line doesn't move as fast as other places nearby so keep that in mind but it's worth the wait. read more

I have been to this place many times, and I have never been disappointed. The first time that I was here was with my friend who grew up in Seattle And since then I am falling in love with this place. Ever a time when I visit Seattle I will stop by here to grab a croissant or other pastry. I think overall the best part of this location is they bake their pastry in house freshly every day. The store set-up is quite cute, and every time I walk in, I had an illusion that I am walking in a pastry shop in Paris. Also, the store smells so good and it is hard to resist and not ordering anything. I have tried many different ones but my favorite so far is their ham and cheese croissant ( super basic but taste so good). They shredded a lot of cheese on top of the croissant, which is a gem no where else to find. In the past, I have also tried their almond croissant and chocolate eclair. They are quite outstanding as well. This time I arrived on a Tuesday morning around 9:30 AM and there are some open seats at the store. Since the store locates almost at the center of Pike Market, every other time, it is quite packed and hard to find a seat. By the time of 10 AM, it is already quite packed and this probably will last a long time. Luckily, people finish their pastry quickly, so the waiting won't be too long. However, this place will not work as a good place if you would like to sit down and chat with your long-time-no-see friend for a long time. Other people might stare at you and be like 'you finished your food, why are you still taking up the seat?!' So this particular time I have ordered a almond croissant to go, but the lady accidentally packed me a croissant with apricot jam. I was a little disappointed since I don't get to travel to Seattle that often from the East coast. Disregard the fact that the croissant tastes pretty good, the jam is way too sweet in my opinion. Also, they give you a lot of jam, and it was a bit overwhelmed and ooze out of my croissant while in the take out bag. I agree maybe some people truly appreciate the amount of jam, but maybe it makes more sense if they can let you choose how much you prefer to make it more customized. It is a has-to-try place in Pike Market, and I bet you will love it! read more

Ugh I forgot to take pictures! But they have the best And fresh baked pastries! Their macarons are a must get! I just suggest to get all of the favors!!

The almond croissant is flaky with a good amount of sliced almonds on top. It has a small amount of the almond filling inside, but wish it had a little bit more. But it had a great freshly baked flavor. The Choquettes were ok. Slightly sweet, but no filling. Just little puffs of hollow dough. I guess I was expecting it to be more similar to a puff pastry with filling inside but it wasn't. It was crisp and cute, but it wasn't that special. The ham and cheese croissant was tasty, nicely baked with a flaky crust and melted cheese. The topping was a little bitter..not really sure where the bitterness came from. But overall it was warm and gooey and just like a ham and cheese croissant should be. read more

I don't bake, I buy. In my quest for croissant integrity and happy co-workers I've paid $$$ for boxes of croissants and pastries and this isn't it. Their chocolate, almond and butter croissants were equally deflated and tasted flat. Until I retire and start laminating dough, my heart belongs to Fuji Bakery and Grand Central. It's a tie. read more

Delicious! A friend recommended this local spot and I was so glad to try it! The pastry was fresh, delicious, and affordable. The line wasn't super long on a Friday afternoon.
