    Pieeeeee!!!! I love this place. Delicious freshly made pies. I also enjoyed their single origin drip coffee (only $3!). Genuinely warm and friendly service - no Seattle freeze here! Cute, cheerfully decorated place makes you want to hang out on an overcast day. Perfect recipe to bring joy to your soul.

    I love Pie Bird! They have the best pies in my (and husband's) opinion. Their crust holds up well and is never soggy. The Salty Maltey Chocolate and Chocolate Chess are my favs so far. We've also sampled the fruit pies and those are good too! Whenever we're in Ballard or nearby, we stop in for a slice of pie.

    Fantastic service, such a sweet shop and phenomenal pie. I've had a lot of pie and haven't tasted an apple pie that I love so much as this one (not overly sweet and thoughtfully spiced). Their eat in area is so charming (caught it on a quiet moment there were four people in line behind us by the time that we sat down). The salty chocolate malted pie was fantastic as well. Love the dainty dishes that they serve it on when you dine in. Planning to come back more often to Ballard for dinner to be able to stop here afterwards!

    Absolutely delicious! We got the Marion Berry pie and it was simply perfect, best pie in Seattle.

    A quarter of the pie. So delicious.

    Ok, the chicken pot pie is a treat! So delicious. I split this into two meals but it can be easily eaten in one sitting. The shop is in a busy Ballard neighborhood but pay by phone e parking was across the street. The shop is a sit-in place as well, very cute and can eat there. I got my pie to go though. I ordered a couple of days ahead. Excellent communication from the staff. They let me know it wouldn't be ready the next day and we rescheduled easily. I cut the pie and warmed it in the microwave for one minute. So good, highly recommend.

    It's a pretty average pie shop. In general, it's really difficult to make a bad pie. I've been baking pies myself for 20 years for holidays and family events. This very small pie that is $45 and it's just not that impressive for the very high price. It's less than 1 inch thick and barely 8 inches. I guess if you're in the city and you don't have a lot of options it's pretty good but if you know anything about pies, this small pie for $45 is a little outrageous. If this is going to be your one thing, it should be way better than this. I would recommend checking out other bakeries in the Seattle area that make pies and in my experience it's a better value and as good and in most cases generally better. I love making a good strawberry rhubarb pie but my pies generally have about 3 to 4 times the amount of filling and are generally in a much more normal pie pan. The rhubarb and strawberry was perfectly acceptable for the flavor, but the crust was a little soft. I suspect a lot of these reviews are date nights and people wandering around on evening outings and looking for a fun experiences. I guess it meets that goal but I'm still just not impressed at the price and what you get for it. It's just not a good value. If you're going to do it, do it for the experience rather than expecting a spectacular pie. And if you find this pie impressive, you need to get out more. #Average. I would recommend the metropolitan market bakery for a better pie and a better value.

    Pie Bird has been around for a while, but this is their first brick and mortar shop. Sweet little cafe, clean and airy. A great assortment of sweet and savory pies, to include hand pies. Tough to decide which piece to get, but when the salesperson says his GF asked for THIS specific pie for her birthday (a whole pie!), you know it's gonna be good. And oh boy - it is delicious! Passionfruit meringue pie- a perfect balance of tart and sweet on a thin, crisp, buttery crust. I can't resist passionfruit and this was just exquisite. Special note on their branding - I love how they carried their logo through to the packing paper. Definitely a destination location - go out of your way to stop here. You won't be disappointed!

    I went to Pie Bird tonight and got a slice of apple pie for takeaway. The pie crust is delicious! The buttery crust is light and flaky! I liked the apple filling because it wasn't too sweet or too tart - just right for my taste buds. I'll come back to try another slice of a fruit pie. They also offer cream pies and chicken pot pies! The staff were very attentive, helpful and courteous. The seating area is decorated nicely with tables and chairs along the wall and there is seating at the window with bar stool chairs.

    I've always wanted to check out this new location so while I was on my daily dog walk with my pup, I stopped by. The ambience is extremely inviting the seating and the decor is perfect for the location. The customer service as soon as you walk in is immediately attentive, and the workers are extremely nice. As it was my first time they went over the different pies that they had available for the day. As far as food, there is a good amount of pie option from sweet and savory. I ordered the pumpkin pie and the flavor itself is very much on point. I just was not a fan of how soft the bite was. It could have been baked a little bit longer for my liking, but that's just a personal preference. The pie itself is still very flavorful. I will definitely be back . Plus, I promise the wonderful ladies today that I would be coming back to try the Pot Pie

    Pecan pie
    Zack R.

    Oh my god. Buttery. Rich. Delicious. Get one. Get two. Get a whole pie. When a street market upgrades to a shop, you know they have something going right. They advertise their real butter crusts and you can seriously taste it. Rich and flakey. And the dude at the counter was the nicest person in the world in the clean open breezy shop. So I got the chess and the pecan pie (yes, both rich sugary southern staples, leave me alone). Yes I ate them both as soon as I got home (leave me alone, I'm living my best life here). Both were a high end version of gooey buttery richness you won't find at any other stores or pie shops around. I've tried. The topper was I bought a broccoli cheddar quiche out of guilt for my sweets and ate it the next morning. Just as good as the pies and also better than any other. Most places have tiny shredded broccoli and 90% egg. I swear this was 60% broccoli and 15% crust with a little egg holding it together. Whole pieces of broccoli. At first I wasn't so sure because the texture was different, but I'm CRAVING it still a month later. This is the kind of uniqueness we need in foods, just awesome ingredients and solid craft without random gotcha ingredients. Thank you. Save me a piece plz.

    The baked goods and lattes are quite nice here. Located right at the Pike's Place Market and…read morewalkable to the favorite sites. I've been here a few times and always had a positive experience. The line was short but can definitely build up but not as long as some other options on the street. I had a spinach flaky roll and latte. Both were just right and honestly above average. I will be back and the vibes of the area are worth coming back to not to mention exactly what Le Pannier's great at too.

    Honestly, I was taken aback by the raving reviews here because my first (and it would be my last)…read morevisit to Le Panier fell completely short of expectations. So, what went well, and what has plenty of room for improvement? SERVICE - 5/5 The staff was super friendly and just really cool! I especially appreciated that he grabbed the pain au chocolat from the back at my request. I did not want mine touching the almond croissants displayed so closely together. I wanted a pain au chocolat, not an almond pain au chocolat. Sorry! AMBIANCE - 4/5 A very busy bakery/café located at Pike Place Market, near Starbucks. I liked the wall décor and the overall cozy vibe. Finding an empty seat may be a challenge? KOUIGN-AMANN/PAIN AU CHOCOLAT/MERINGUE - 2/5 Kouign-amann - 0/5 It pained me to give a kouign-amann such a low score, especially because it is my all-time favorite pastry. But this one was so subpar that I could not even finish it. It was, frankly, a complete waste of butter, flour, sugar and labor. I once lodged a complaint with a GM and Director of F&B at a certain Ritz-Carlton because their kouign-amanns were so bad that I asked them to stop whoever was making them. Since then, there has been a huge improvement, and that is what genuine feedback should accomplish. Pastry integrity is of utmost importance, and pastry crime is hardly forgivable. Pain au Chocolat - 2/5 Doughy and deeply disappointing. I simply cannot reconcile this with the fact that Le Panier has supposedly been a beloved fixture of Seattle's food scene since 1983. MERINGUE -- 5/5 Can anyone possibly mess up a meringue?? It is extremely disappointing to visit what is supposed to be a legendary, quintessential French bakery in Seattle, only to find that the two pastries I was most looking forward to, the kouign-amann and pain au chocolat, were both such letdowns. A café/bakery cannot survive on service and ambiance alone. The pastries have to deliver too. Time to rehone the baking skills, Le Panier.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Their cinnamon rolls looked amazing with the perfect decadent amount of frosting but so did the sprinkle cookies. The staff was kind and welcoming and patient wth me with my delay in decision making. I have so many things that I need to go back and try, most likely with a group, so I can try lots of things. They do lots of specialty items, depending on the day which is a fun way to spice up their menu. I ended up going with the burrata focaccia sandwich which came with burrata, roasted bing cherries, pistachio butter, balsamic, arugula, and sea salt focaccia. SOOOO yummy. Great sandwich, and I am so glad that they did lunch items early in the AM. The cherries were such a unique addition to the sandwich but worked well, and they were also representative of the local area (Rainier Cherries). I wish that there was flaky salt on the bread. I didn't get much salt flavor wise, even though is says sea salt focaccia. The focaccia bread was soft which is my preference for focaccia.

Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.
