The best eclairs ever! I visit Seattle once a year, please bring back the vanilla eclair that was my favorite

Nice little French cafe. Sunday morning seemed to be the best time to visit as Saturday had a line wrapped around the corner. I went with the buttery, flaky Croissant paired with a Cafe Au Lait. Something simple. I left satisfied with my visit and my order. read more

We loved this bakery so much and visited twice during our stay in Seattle. I loved their croissants and very fresh. There was a line but it goes quick so we didn't mind. We also tired Napoleon and so good. I don't like macaroons so I didn't try. I'm sure I will visit here again next time I visit Seattle. read more

Okay so the last time I went I may or may not have bought just about one of everything Which means I can confirm that just about everything (and I mean everything) is delish!! I will say the one thing that I might not really order would be one of their breads .. they were dry and hard and not very full of life one might say. But the pastries (sweet and especially the savory ) and their macarons were ahhh mazing. They didn't get my order right for these but I asked for 6 and it was super busy so I don't blame them read more

Le Panier - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Le Panier French Bakery is a fun little pastry shop with many options. I've tried the eclairs, various croissants and sandwiches, and napoleon. Of all the items I've tried, I liked the almond croissant most. The other croissants and napoleon were good as well. The croissants are buttery and flakey and taste delicious, especially when pulled freshly out of the oven. I wasn't a fan of the sandwiches; they weren't really anything spectacular, but the bread was good. I'd come back for a pastry snack while walking around Pike Market Place. The line may be long but it moves pretty fast. read more

My go-to place for breads and all manner of beautiful pastries in Seattle! My former colleague (a native of Paris who had a post doctoral appointment at UW) once declared it "The one place in Seattle where I know I can get excellent croissant." read more

Macaroons were fantastic. We purchased a vanilla, coffee, pistachio, and raspberry. The vanilla and raspberry were my favorite ones. I also purchased a tart that had pear and chocolate. Everything was very fresh and delicious! Yum! read more

The pastries here taste as good as the bakery smells! The buttery smell definitely lured me in while walking around Pike Place Market but I got the almondine (almond croissant) and it was so delicious- crunchy, flaky, buttery, and hit all my cravings! This is one of my must go places in Pike Place Market! I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a small line but we were in and out in less than 5 minutes. read more

Le Panier - @eatingsfrom - almondine (almond croissant) - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

An absolute must-try in Pike Place Market. Le Panier is a french bakery that offers delicious, high quality baked goods and is not talked about enough. The line for this storefront is long, but don't be intimidated - it moves quick! Few of my favorite items: Almond croissant - Gooey, buttery, nutty, and sweet. Get it! Chocolate croissant - Flaky, buttery, chocolatey goodness. Can't go wrong. Macarons - Pistachio & passion are my top picks. Macaron shell is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Very flavorful, not artificial in the slightest. Palmiers - Do yourself a favor and get two. Flaky, buttery perfection. Will always be a stop when I'm in Seattle! read more

My experience with this bakery started before I visited the outlet. I emailed them with regards to my food sensitivities & dietary restrictions. Within 24 hours a detailed list of delicious goodies that were good for me to eat landed in my inbox. The reply was from their Operations Manager, Christopher Bray. I reached bright and early and was like a kid in a candy shop. I savored the many many many choices. They had run out of pistachio eclairs and I asked the lovely lady packing my splurge when would I have to get back to taste them. She said it would take 15minutes. I asked her to save me 2 & I would be back in 15. I didn't leave the bakery. I sat and savored the things I had got. Before I knew the eclairs were back and I got mine. I thought 2 eclairs were too many since I had been eating the other things while waiting. So I decided to have a little taste. Not realistic. The eclair was both decadently delicious and light. It was gone in seconds. What is the best thing at the bakery? Close your eyes, choose anything. It is that good. I am a fan! read more

Amazing! My wife and I went to this bakery 2 years ago after going to Starbucks. It was in January so we were looking for some good pastries to go with our lattes! Man we stumbled upon the best bakery ever! They have so much to choose from and I HIGHLY recommend stopping in if you are visiting Pikes Place! My wife and I cannot wait to go back! read more

Even though Le Panier is dead in tourist trap area, as a local, don't care. I like this place! The food is good. I've shopped at Le Panier for many years now. My regular items, in no particular, are: - The puff pastries with the spinach filling or the mushroom filling. It's really good toasted up at home. - The mini chocolate butter cookies sold in a bag, on the rack that's to the right of the display cases - Epis - the bread that looks like a branch of leaves. My favorite version of the French bread cuz you get lots of delicious crust! Occasionally: - Macarons - These are well regarded here, especially welcomed by tourists. But locals know of two other places to go instead. Message me if you want to know where. ;) - Cake slice - Varies. Lots of options to try. - Palmiers - I love palmiers, but I like them a bit toastier than the way Le Panier does. So, it's an occasional buy only. Tourist or Local - Do drop by. Have a cup of coffee too. You won't regret it. read more

Le Panier - chocolate Almond croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's become a running joke how often I stop by here and show up to the office holding a baguette like it's my baby. Le Panier makes awesome baguettes period. I have yet to find another bakery in the downtown Seattle location that makes baguettes as yeasty, fresh, and crusty as this French bakery. After eyeing the eclairs forever, I also decided to finally indulge in my temptation and ordered a chocolate eclair. It was so light, the filling was so decadent, that I had trouble putting it down. In addition to my baguette, I spent around $5 to buy a jar of their raspberry jam that they present on top of their pastry cases and me and my coworkers go ham on this jam. We literally put it on anything and everything! read more

I was very disappointed with my purchase here. I tried the caramel latte and the pain au chocolat, both of which were subpar. The chocolate in the pastry was just two cold block pieces inside. It was not warm either. The latte tasted pretty artificial. The service was also average and not very friendly. I'm usually not super picky but I was very disappointed and would suggest checking out another bakery instead! read more

It's a very busy bakery with very long lines. A must get for me is a plain croissant at any French bakery. I was very disappointed in their croissant. It was dry & not really buttery. But they made it up with the pate sandwich. This pate was phenomenal! With the crunch of the cornichon totally helped cut the richness of the pate. The passion fruit macaroon was delicious. read more

We stopped in here because it happened to be convenient, and I wanted an eclair. Not necessarily macaroon people we ended up getting some to go to try later. This place ended up really exceeding our expectations! First off, service was so friendly. We started off with four macaroons and then added a few on. We were a bit indecisive but she was so patient, didn't rush us, and was just genuinely nice. She boxed our macaroons to go and gave me the chocolate eclair on a plate to enjoy in the shop. There isn't a ton of seating but we were able to snag two seats even with all of the people coming in and out. They have a water station and you bus your own dishes when you're done (bins behind the coffee counter). Not only was the chocolate eclair great... the macaroons were AMAZING. They were soft, so flavorful and just genuinely delicious. We are now converted fans. So GOOD. We tried the coffee, chocolate, vanilla, Wild strawberry, raspberry and black currant. Highly recommend. read more

Told my friend I wanted a pain au chocolat and she said she knew the perfect place around the corner, taking me to Le Panier. The line goes out the door and around the block, but it moves quickly and very much worth the wait! I hadn't had French food since I was in Paris last summer till this day so it was a great treat to have this flaky pastry. They make a great chocolate bread here, fluffy, soft and the chocolate is the right amount of savory. Saw they had king's cake! Would like to come back for sure and get some other things! read more

Le Panier has become one of my favorite bakeries. If I lived closer to Pike Place and always got good parking I would come to Le Panier every day if I could. But coming to this bakery is such a treat. I want to try and eat everything. I highly recommend getting one sweet, one savory, and one coffee! A little bit of everything! ARE THEY BEING COVID SAFE? Yes, they have stickers indicating 6ft social distancing. They require everyone to wear a mask. They have a one-way customer flow to make sure the bakery is running efficiently and safely for the employees and customers. The doors are always open to allow for air circulation. Hand sanitizer is provided to customers and employees wipe down surfaces such as the payment stations after every customer. FOOD ITEM: - Iced Vanilla Latte: wow wow wow! one of my favorite lattes of all time! I highly recommend it! -Pain Au Chocolat: sweet and delicious! The sweet spread they use on the pastry is my favorite part. A go-to favorite of mine! -Potato/Bacon Feuilletes: Absolutely mouth-watering. The puff pastry was so crisp and delicious. TAKEAWAYS: 1. If you want savory get Feuilletes! 2. Get a latte! you won't regret it! For more reviews and photos, follow my instagram: @nvc.eats read more

I originally wasn't planning on dropping in because the line was ridiculously long. However, the line seemed to move pretty quick and I couldn't shake my love of almond croissants...so I decided I might as well check it out. SO GLAD that I did that. The almost croissants here are so good. One bite in and I already got a mouthful of almond-y goodness. Usually places skimp on the almond filling, but that's def not the case here. The savory puff pastries (feuilletes) are also to die for. They had a selection of 4-5 different flavor combos when we went. I decided to get the tomato filling (provençale). It was a good portion and was great warm. They keep the savories on a hot plate so they're served nice and toasty. read more

Macaroons all day! Box out the door for $25, sampling one of each flavor. Gorgeous too!! read more

Le Panier - Macaroons! - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was honestly very surprised by this bakery. I didn't have high expectations going in, but the overall quality of the baked goods were fantastic. I had a chocolate eclair (pictured), a salted caramel macaron, and a vanilla macaron. The eclair was both sweet & light- I came back for more before returning home. The salted caramel macaron was fluffy on the shells and the caramel inside was delicate, smooth, and creamy. The vanilla macaron was fluffy- it felt like I was biting into a little cloud of perfection. read more

Delicious and one of a kind pastries, like the seasonal yuzu eclair. So far, we love all the pastries we've tried. My hubby and kids love this bakery, and we come here at least 2 to 3 times each time we visit Seattle. Wish they have a bigger selection to choose from though. read more

Stopped by to grab some mid-afternoon snacks about two hours before closing. The line wrapped to the side of the building, but moved relatively quick and the workers inside were efficient. Because it was the afternoon, it looked like one of their bakery goods cases was cleared out but we still got to try some macarons, a croissant, and a savory mushroom tart. Macarons were bigger than expected but had very distinct flavorings. Mushroom tarts was warm and creamy as advertised, and the croissant lived up to the hype. Some might say prices are a little steep, but for the location and goods I thought they were to be expected. Overall, a good place to stop in and grab a few pastries. read more

We love the French treats at this place as much as the coffee here. Must try items: almond croissant, friand, pain au Chocolat, sandwiches (plain tasting but oh so amazing due to their signature baguette), eclair. To me the macarons were on the sweeter side and I didn't find them as tasty as the others. Coffee is amazing. Recommend going here before 10am on a weekday to beat the crowd. read more

Le Panier - Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Le Panier is a simple, French bakery in the heart of Pike Place. And of course one of the signature French baked goods is the croissant. Amandine - croissant with crème d'amande topped with toasted almonds What is it about pastries and almonds that go so well together? The croissant is flaky, light, and buttery. Everything a croissant should be. The crème d'amande is rich in almond flavor and not overly sweet. If you're in the area, I recommend grabbing this one or any of their other pastries. Follow my Instagram @thephotographerfoodie :) read more

Even though the shop is located in the bustle of the market, I appreciate that it stays pretty affordable (except you, croissants, I see you with your $3+ price tag). A great spot to come for an afternoon treat, or a post coffee pick me up. As with many spots in the area, don't be shocked if there's a line through the store and out. The workers are pretty quick to get your item(s) and to ring you up. However, the only thing that's irked me about the store is that you order towards the back, so if there are items in the cases towards the register (ex: macarons, eclairs, small cakes, etc.) you have to politely make your way through the people in front of you to choose what you want. It'd be fine if they had a menu towards the ordering station, especially for those coming solo who can't send a friend or family member over to check out the offerings. Besides that, this really is one of my favorite places for a sweet treat. They do have seating inside, but it will feel cramped (especially if you're sitting in the middle of the store) and the store gets really hot as the crowds build. I went with the Napoleon and chocolate eclair, total about $9. read more

Thus place is absolutely just as good as its reputation. I stopped by here while exploring the Pike Place Market and was absolutely wowed by the quality of both the pastries and the coffee. It made for a delightful breakfast experience. There's absolutely nothing here (that I tried, anyway) that I wouldn't recommend. One warning - this place gets CROWDED. Come suuuuper early, and you should still expect a wait. read more

This place is good. I have no complaints. It's totally worth a stop in. But it was as expected. It's a good French bakery. We had the ham croissants, a chocolate croissant and a brioche with raspberry. All was yummy. But, as I said, nothing was different from what I've had at other French bakeries. We came on a Friday morning at 8am and there was no real line. The only bummer of the experience is they don't have chai. I had another tea latte but no chai this time. read more

I was hangry when I got to the Pike Place Market. The scent of baking bread and butter drew me into Le Panier. I stepped in. Went back out to try to find my friends. Thought "I'll see them later..." LOL! Went back in and ordered the Demi-baguette with "jambon and fromage", a latte, and chocolate croissant for the next morning. It was perfect! I sat at a little cafe table and people watched. 4-stars bc I had to bus my table to claim it, coffee condiment area was messy, and the latte was too small for price paid. read more
