The price was indeed not cheap, but the size was satisfying especially with that generous stuffing. We recently tried their seasonal sweet one with chocolate sauce, cream cheese and crushed hazelnuts. Decent yet not as good as the savory one, more because the base dough was tad dry for our liking despite the sweet and tangy flavors combo was uniquely yum

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.

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.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately I was delayed and only arrived at 11 again - but this time they had plenty! The employee told us they boosted production for the weekend since they unexpectedly ran out too early the previous week. Great for us! Sourdough Foccacia ($13) - This foccacia has a good crisp on the outside, which deteriorated a bit since it was sitting in the car for a couple of hours before consumption. It comes in a nice form fitting paper box. The interior is open and airy looking, but it's actually quite moist, chewy and somewhat tough especially on the crust. It has an exceptional fermented-ish sour taste and is decorated with sea salt specks on top. It's even more sour than what could be found in most sourdough breads in SF. I can tell this is extremely high quality but the taste profile is just a little too much for me. (4/5) Onion Cookie ($4) - Woah, this is a really unique cookie. There's a caramelized onion aroma that wafts right into the nose as the cookie is removed from the packaging, which is soaked through with oil. The texture is soft, yet pliable, allowing the cookie to bend quite a bit without breaking. First bite - it's not too sweet and has an exceptional umami-savoriness. Kind of like a miso cookie with some cinnamon that works so well with the savory notes. So strange in taste yet delicious. I expected to find onion pieces embedded within, but it's pretty evenly textured. (5/5) Salmonberry Goods serves some very high quality treats.

Staff is friendly and efficient and they provide little buzzers so you can grab your table while waiting. Definitely worth a stop in while you're in the neighborhood.

Grand Central makes excellent European style bread, the quality of which has greatly improved over…read morethe decades since they stopped overbaking it which resulted in rock hard crusts cutting the inside tissue of your mouth. However, their retail food service establishments leave a lot to be desired.

If the owners are reading this Lacey deserves a raise! I'll definitely be back. It's 10/10 for the pie, but 11/10 for the service.
