Stopped for coffee and a little bite before we walked around the area! Line was long but went fast!! I got a vanilla iced latte and these little donut-like bites- they were a little plane but really good actually!! My coffee was yummy as well! My boyfriend just got a hot vanilla latte and enjoyed that with me! The inside was cutely decorated for the World Cup! I love how the city embraced it! Definitely worth the stop (especially if you can't get into the Starbucks.... This is better!!!!) read more

I stopped in to get a snack when I was at the market this week. Their pastries all looked delicious and I decided to try an almond croissant. I was able to get a seat by the front window so I could do some people watching while I ate. My croissant looked a bit better than it tasted. It didn't have a whole lot of almond flavor and it was kind of chewy but that may have been due to the extremely warm temperature. The person who helped me was super friendly. I'd stop in if you have a hankering for French pastries while at the market. read more

SO many choices here - I tried the almond croissant and it was spectacular!!! To be honest, I've had it before and I keep coming back for more! But try everything here! It's all so good and made in house so you know everything is fresh!!! The service is great! Watch the signs so you know where to line up and stand to order. It's a small establishment with a few seats on high tops, but you won't need to spend hours here - or - take your food and drinks up to the waterfront to dine and enjoy the ambiance! read more

I got the graines (4.25/5) and campagne (4.25/5) loaves. Both have a semi crunchy crust, airy interior, and toast well! The service was pretty good (4/5); they do a good job of keeping the line moving. read more

Cute place, very expensive for being in Pike. The staff was kinda pretentious... when asking what things were (since some things had no labels) am I psychic? I got an almond croissant which was very crunchy and the center was almost like a custard. Odd. The macrons were the star of the show. I would go back only for those. Not worth trying. So many more places in Pike to goto. read more

Food: Spinach Épinard (7.5/10) - on the savory side of baked goods here! it was crispy and also flavorful. it wasn't too salty or anything either. there was crisp and fluffy texture to it as well. Pavlova (7/10) - tastes like whipped cream with meringue and a very unique but fresh mango and passion fruit filling. i wasn't a fan of the filling it tasted a bit herby but it wasn't bad. the shape of this dessert is so cute! it's definitely sweet and has an airy texture. Service: Pretty quick, helpful, and sweet. They keep the long line moving while still having a positive attitude Ambiance: Cozy and warm type of feeling at this bakery. Super busy atmosphere because it's so popular and a long line out the door. There's seating but not a whole lot and it's pretty packed. Super cute bakery! read more

The line was out the door on a Wednesday at 7:15 am. The almond croissant was fantastic. Fresh, flaky and buttery. The chocolate eclair was not something I would get again. Take your goodies and walk across the street and enjoy breakfast at the waterfront. read more

It's a very French bakery (as their sign says) located right at pike market place. Tends to get super busy with people ordering and many many tourists ordering as well. Coffee was real good and so were the huge assortment of pastries. Sitting area is minimal so you have to watch out for available spots or you at standing up. read more

I stood in a line twice to come and try Le Panier and I was not disappointed. Their croissants and pastries are delicious and authentic. I was not happy that on both days I was not able to try their jambon beurre sandwich but that's not why they lost a star. I had their baguette and it was not impressive and on the same caliber as anything else there. I am not sure if that was a fluke but even if it was, you still lose that star for me as it's not perfect. The place is a small and cozy which can be chaotic if it's too busy which it was on both days I was there. But I'm sure it's not as bad during low season. read more

Le Panier is a Pike Place staple. Upon walking in, you are met with delicious smells of all kinds of amazing traditional French pastries and some American additions, too. When asking for the most popular item, the friendly employee said the almondine (almond croissant) would be the must-try. I have to say- it was a great croissant, but not the best I've ever had. However, I did think the pricing was very reasonable here. There is a small selection of indoor seating, and of course, they have a full coffee menu to enjoy, too. The vibe felt somewhat formal and not the cozy local bakery vibe I enjoyed at other spots in Seattle. The hardest part about visiting Pike Place is that there is so much to choose from and so much competition. Are there better bakeries? Probably. Is Le Panier great and easily accessible on the main strip of Pike Place? Yes. That fact makes it a great choice for your pastry needs. read more

Cozy French bakery in the heart of Pike Place Market! Lines can get pretty long with the heavy foot traffic so get there early. There's a nice variety of pastries but the beautiful Kouign Amann caught my eye. It was pretty good, sweet crispy and flaky- it was so good that I went back in line to get more pastries. The almond and almond chocolate croissant and mushroom tart made it back to CA with me and they were tasty when revitalized in the air fryer. Recommend adding it to your Pike Place list, good breakfast or dessert/snack spot after getting some Pike Place chowder, Beecher's mac n cheese, and Piroshkies! read more

There seems to always be a line for this bakery. It moved relatively quick though. There are tons of choices to choose from. I got a roule raisin. There was far too many raisins for my liking but the pastry itself was amazing. My friend got the peach tart and loved the crust. We also got the chouquettes and kouign aman. The inside can get very cramped since there is one line to order and to go the cashier. read more

One of the best French bakery in Seattle located at Pike market. We were curious of the long line outside when visited Seattle so, we decided to try and so glad we did! Our favorites are macarons, croissants and eclairs. Staff are friendly and even recommended some pastries. Do not skip their coffee too since Seattle is known for best coffee. Place can be crowded and noisy but it's all worth it; It's a must stop bakery at pike market! read more

My wife liked this place so much that she came back the next day. The almond croissants are very good, the chocolate cake and macarons weren't too sweet but hit the spot. The cookies were ok - wouldn't say they stacked up to the other stuff, but not like they were bad. If you're visiting pike place market, would definitely recommend read more

Tried the almond croissant, coffee eclair, peach custard pastry, marionberry pie, and a couple macaroons. All were pretty good. The eclair and custard pastry are of course better cold rather than saving to eat it later. Some of the better macaroons we've had and these are usually not my go-to, but I'd order them again. You can't really see what is offered in the displays up front, so the only downside is folks take longer trying to decide when they get there after waiting in line. They offer self-serve still or with gas water (nice touch, uncommon). We visited on a weekday. I imagine would be more crowded on weekends or holidays so plan your trip accordingly. Parking: off site lots as this place is located in the heart of Pike's Market. read more

I was visiting out of state and saw this place was recommended on multiple forums. I'd say it lives up to the reviews I saw. The cafe was busy at the time and my friends and I had to sit outside while eating our pastries. I got their Almond Croissant, Eclair Espresso, and Au Jardin. Almond Croissant - Light, fragrant, and fluffy. The flavor itself was buttery, not too sweet, and was well balanced with the almonds sprinkled all over it. Would get it again. (8.5/10) Eclair Espresso - Had a nice espresso flavor to it along with the creamy filling. (8/10) Au Jardin - Tastes just as it looks, like a different form of pizza but with zucchinis. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) read more

Le Panier is located right in the middle of Pike Place Market near the original Starbucks. It was 11am and I hadn't had breakfast, unsure on how to start my eating experience for the day I opted for a croissant and a latte. Le Panier definitely has that energy of a Parisian or European cafe, with wooden fixtures, pale colored walls and the "vitrina" or display where the bread is kept as well. There are at least 3-4 croissant options. I love an almond croissant, so I went for it. Their almond croissant was very almond forward. It wasnt bad it was just very almond-y. I appreciated that it was on the "flatter longer" side rather thant the ultra fluffy giant side. Something to be said about that. Their classic latte was delicious and so tasty- again something about taking a minute to drink it there rather than taking it to go. Definitely adds to the Parisian experience. All in all a great stop! if you find yourself at Pike Place Market. read more

Everywhere I go, I have to find a bakery. I got the ham and cheese croissant and the kouign amann. Both were ok. I think I've been spoiled by SF baked goods, so nothing can compare. I read that their sweet baked goods are better so next time I'll give them a second try and get those instead! read more

Was recommended by a friend to check this place out and this hit the mark. Coffee and bakery food was delicious. Loved their brioche, light and fluffy. Loved their wild strawberry macaron, light and sweet. Loved the Caffé Latte, a bit bitter and rich. Place was small, so at around 2 pm on a Friday, could not find an open seat as people were hanging out and relaxing here already. Overall, from my friend to me to you, I recommend! read more

Lovely bakery with really delicious french pastries, croissants, yummy breads and coffee. Don't forget to try some savory options too. I wish I was able to take decent pictures of the place, but it was so packed, you couldn't see much. It's really worth a visit if you do some sightseeing around Pike Place. The line can be very long, so bring your patience. Staff is helpful and keeps the lines moving. read more

4.5 stars for this pastry shop. It is located in the Pike Market. This is a French bakery shop. It has good pastry and coffee. I got an Amandine pastry. It is top with slice almonds and powder sugar. The inside is cream filling. Very good for breakfast or sweet items. I also got a London fog coffee. This is coffee with tea mixed. I went there in the open hour there was no line. I noticed the line getting longer later of the day. read more

Even though I'm a Seattle native and have lived here my whole life, I had somehow never been here before! I stopped by over the weekend and tried the almond croissant and an iced vanilla latte. I was honestly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was, especially considering it's in such a tourist-heavy area. For comparison, the coffee shop upstairs (storyville) had lattes for around $8.50, while here we got two coffees AND two pastries for about $24 total. For the quality, I thought that was a really good value. I order vanilla lattes everywhere I go, and this one was fantastic. The space itself is also pretty large -- we were able to find seating easily even on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Seattle. It was very crowded, but still found a spot and the long line went by quickly. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're visiting Seattle! read more

There's a line, which must mean this place is good! I waited maybe fifteen minutes before ordering. The server was friendly. I didn't get any pastries or coffee, but I got the desserts like chocolate cake. It was so good and not too dense! It was a melt-in-your-mouth type of cake. The eclairs were delicious but tiny. Macarons start at $3, and you can get a box of 4 or 10 or more. Indoor seating only. They close at 5 PM. No wifi Apple Pay/Credit card accepted No bathroom read more

The best French bakery in town. Everything that they make is so good, fresh tasting, and not too sweet. We really enjoyed our chocolate croissant and madeleine. Their chocolate is not too sweet and perfect amount of chocolate inside the croissant. Madeleine is crispy on the edges and the inside is more dense, different from store bought pastries and it's delicious. Their macaroon is good and the flavor I recommend is the wild strawberry. I was very happy to see they have the Galette Des Rois, a puff pastry almond cream cake that has a very beautiful history behind the cake. read more

Patron traffic seems to be high earlier in the morning (around 10-11 AM)-- I arrived on a Thursday around noon time and managed to get a seat at their high table. I got ample time to check out the selection in the cases before someone took my order. I got the chouquette to go so they put a small plastic bag around it (paper cone and all!). The Paris Brest uses the same puff as what they use for the eclairs so it was a soft puff as opposed to the crunchy cream puffs. The hazelnut praline cream was so rich-- it reminded me of the ferro rochers-- again perfect for the fall season. Fair selection of pastries and as I was about to leave I noticed that they sell loaves of bread as well! read more

We were around pike place and starving. Every restaurant had a long line which was moving slower than a snail. We wanted to grab something quick and happened to see this French bakery. Though there was a line, it was fast moving. A step inside the bakery and we could smell the freshness of the bakes. It took about 30 min to go near the counter. Everything looked fantastic, we wanted to get a bite of everything there. We went with croissants, chocolate and pistachios Éclairs, slice of Tarte aux pêches and a Au Jardin. Everything we got was delicious, the Croissant au Beurre was flaky buttery and melted in our mouth. Our favorites were the Éclairs, unlike other places it was not overpoweringly sweet but the natural flavors were enhanced and loved every bite of it. The prices are reasonable and worth every penny. I would highly recommend this place. read more

We came here to get dessert for everyone and we ended up getting the coffee, pistachio, and regular eclair. We also got macarons with pistachio, chocolate, and vanilla. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them, but the overall favorite was the pistachio eclairs. It was not too sweet and it was a perfect night cap for that day after dinner. Parking is always tricky near Pike Place so keep that in mind and you will probably have to walk. The line was not long and we were in and out in 20 minutes, but this was also in the middle of the week. Service was super great too. I definitely want to come back. read more

REALLY YUMMY FRENCH PASTRIES! Was at Pike Place and was in the mood for pastries and coffee. My friends and I got a variety of pastries and they were all tasty.

I ended up trying all the three and can report that I liked the Chocolatine the best! Definitely recommend Service was great and everyone was really friendly! read more
