Great bakery treats! They have a lot of options and everything was delicious. The prices of the items are a bit difficult to find, but they're either labeled on the name card or on a separate menu. Compared to other bakeries that offer the same treats, the prices are a bit higher considering the size of everything. * Pain au Chocolat: 7/10 - not enough chocolate filling * Jambon Mornay (Ham & Cheese): 10/10 - mozarella on top was a nice touch * Joséphine: 10/10 - creamy and nice custard The workers were super nice and friendly. The shop is kind of small, but there are a good amount of tables and chairs. There's also a self-serve water dispenser on the side which was nice. Perfect for a quick bite at Pike Place! read more

Oh my god! This place has amazing macarons. I was surprised that there was no line. I was greeted by their staff immediately after I went inside the shop. I got 2 different kinds of crossaint and most importantly macaron. I got all the flavors and the best flavor is definitely vanilla. Crispy outside with filling that is not too sweet. It comes with a cute box. The price is definitely on the higher side but I mean...this location is at Pike Market so everything is tourist price. Will definitely return to try their Kouign Aman. Unfortunately they ran out on the day I visited. read more

Le Panier is one of my favorite French bakeries, period. For being in such a touristy area, this spot is incredibly authentic! They have many different options, both savory and sweet. My favorite item is hands-down the feuilletes champignons (puff pastry with creamy mushroom filling). I could eat this every day and never get tired of it. The spinach feuilletes is also delicious. For sweet items, I love the almond croissant and the croissant aux fruits. The croissant aux fruits has a lighter, fresher flavor with peaches on top as compared to the almond croissant. Another delicious sweet option is the Tarte aux marions. Phenomenal filling with a thick, buttery crust. I've tried many of the items at Le Panier (as you can tell from the photos) and I would rate all of the above items as 10/10. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped here because I LOVE chocolate croissants. I came back from visiting Paris in November and smelled the same smells from the streets and had to go. There was a bit of a line. The service is so good!! The staff is very sweet and helpful. I got a chocolate croissant and a chocolate eclair. The croissant was pretty much perfect. Great honeycomb and butter flavor but not too flaky. The chocolate wasn't super hard which I loved. The eclair was good too! I didn't expect it to have hazelnuts so if you have an allergy BEWARE. definitely specify if you have an allergy. I want to come back for more. read more

I've never had to stand in a line for this place before until today (but it's also been years since I've been back). I really started wondering during my 30 mins wait if the pastries are actually worth it. Fast forward to me getting home and trying them out. Honestly, both the kouign amann and almond chocolate croissant were so tasty when reheated that I do not regret waiting in that line. It was worth it! I also had the lemon tart and it was very good too! For Seattle, this is phenomenal. read more

The most beautiful and delicious pastries. Lines can be long but the staff is very patient and friendly. The shop smells amazing of browned butter and baked goods. It's really hard to decide but definitely get a crossaint. I got an almond crossaint that didn't get a picture because it was eaten immediately. So good!! read more

This French bakery in the Pike Place market area seems to always have a line... but fortunately it moves quickly. The pastries and breads look beautiful as you are going to find in most French bakeries. I had the Paris- Brest which was light, fluffy and filling all at once. Seating can be a challenge. read more

The place that you smell the buttery bake goods several stores down. Located in Pike Place Market, or the tourist attraction as the locals call it. I used to live right underneath the market on the waterfront and walked through it to work in Pioneer Square. Every morning I can smell the bake goods at the end or beginning of the market and it just so inviting that I just want to eat the goods here every single days. If you walk into the place, the overwhelming smell just make you want to get the buttery pastries with a cup of coffee and seat there and enjoy them all. I would have to say 90% of their stuffs are very good and just tiny perfect is just okey. Prices can be on high side but with the smell, you will be distracted. Great customer service but the lines can be long and torture through the buttery smell. Normally I walked out with boxes and at least $80 worth of stuffs that sometime I don't know how or why I get it but I ate it so...yea, careful but enjoys the goods when you visit. I would say get them all, why not!!! read more

The fresh croissants at Le Panier are wonderful, flaky, buttery delicious delights! I'm not a fan of the kouign-amann it has a hard sticky texture which isn't my cup of tea. The macarons are good but very sweet. My son loves the baguette . I would not recommend the chocolate amandine croissant because the almond paste didn't have enough almond flavor and the chocolate was a very light flavor. The amandine was delicious and is recommended! Excellent spot for croissant and baked goods read more

Food (4.75/5): Ham and cheese pastry, tomato pastry, apricot tart, and almond croissant. All were great. My favorite might have been the tomato croissant, it was quite flavorful! Service (4.5/5): Very pleasant front staff who were helpful with suggestions for tourists! Ambiance (4.5/5): There are some tables and countertops where you could sit but also standalone countertops with only the option to stand. The place was quite packed around 8 AM, we beat the line, but stood at a standalone countertop. read more

I visited on a Saturday, and as you know, Pike Place Market gets incredibly busy on weekends. We waited about 20 minutes in line to place our order. I went with a plain croissant and champignons, hoping for something exceptional given the rave reviews. Unfortunately, the croissant was just average--I've definitely had better at local cafes. I'm not sure why this place is so hyped; maybe I just didn't order the right items. I left feeling underwhelmed. read more

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

Every time I've ever been to Pike's, Le Panier has a line out the door and I finally stopped by this time around. One perk is that for a patisserie, the pricing is pretty solid (around a dollar or two cheaper than other options for most items), but the quality is also worse; quite a few options dipped into disappointing territory, though SOME of the sweet items are good. Conclusion, overrated and also, they have one table and window seating, so you can't even expect to take a break while wandering the market. Croissant (1.75/5): Not crunchy outside, not buttery inside. I'd take a Costco croissant over this in a heartbeat. Epinard Feulliete (2.5/5): Got lucky and these were fresh out of the oven, pastry was flaky enough. The spinach is very much just spinach, not very creamy or seasoned. Friand (4.25/5): Like a madeleine, but with more almond flavor and a crunchier shell. Buttery inside with a bit of crisp with the perfect level of sweet. Huckleberry Macaron (4.5/5): Best item we tried, macaron has nice shell and chew inside. Fantastic tart huckleberry flavor and great ratio of filling to the cookie. Pistachio Eclair (1.5/5): Couldn't really taste the pistachio and the eclair shell managed to be stale and soggy. It might have just been old, but either way not fun. read more

It's usually pretty busy in the area so I haven't been to Le Panier until now. What prompted me to go was my friend who lives outside of Seattle telling me it's great. I was blown away by how good D'Orsay (it's like sachertorte) was. So chocolatey and just what I wanted! Other pastries like Kouign aman were good too. Staff are also nice and attentive. read more

If tasty, buttery treats and butchering French words are your kind of fun, then this is your kind of place! We have lusted over Le Panier's glass cases of carbs during visits to Seattle of the past, but we never made it into the actual location as we were dissuaded by the line. However, on this fateful morning, we decided to wake up with the early birds and pop by. Though we did have to stand in a small line, it was nothing compared to the usual afternoon line. Having now patronized Le Panier, I would absolutely stand in the longest of lines for a bite of their crispy and delicious palmiers, amongst other options sampled. Though the line looks monstrous, I assure you that it does move quickly. Unlike many other spots along the market, Le Panier does have a small seating area where you can sit and enjoy your selections. We opted to sit outside and admire the cruise ship that we were boarding a few short hours later, but no matter where you sit, you will enjoy your pastries. read more

I always stop here every time I'm in town. Usually there is a line. I was elated to see no line. The vibe can be a little chaotic when busy and there isn't a lot of seating indoors. You should expect to take your items to go. The servers are so friendly and will provide recommendations if you are overwhelmed by all the options. This bakery has the best French macarons I've had in my life so far. They are so perfectly balanced and delicate. I ate four different flavors; passion fruit, wild strawberry, lemon, and pumpkin. They were all wonderful. My toddler devoured a brioche bun. It was so fluffy and buttery. I also ordered two iced almond milk lattes that were delicious. This bakery is a must if you're in the Pikes Place area and looking for a sweet treat. read more

Le Panier French bakery says it all. Everything is tres bien'(very good) looking and tasting. Breads are old world style and made in the French culinary tradition. Service is fast and friendly. Macaron's have that good chew to them and flavors are natural. The showstopper for me was the almondine croissant. Sliced almonds on the outside, the filling tasted like fresh made marzipan. Rich, flaky, buttery goodness sent me back to the to time when I had these in Paris! read more

Just okay. Not sure I understand the hype and long lines. Got a spinach pastry, chocolatine, and a kouign amann. The spinach pastry was the best out of the three. Would get that again if it was a short line. Skip the chocolatine. Weirdly melty/gooey but not in a good way. read more

Very popular bakery right by pike place. There will be a line but it goes by fast. Tried the ham and cheese croissant with the pile of cheese on top but felt it was mid. They don't even warm it up for you so the pastry was very cold. Flavor wise it didn't have much actually and didn't feel crispy or flaky read more

This spot has lots of options for sweet and savory treats, but it unfortunately feels like a tourist trap. We had some macarons and a slice of d'Orsay chocolate cake - the textures in both desserts were not as one would expect and flavors tasted artificial. Service was lovely, and we were kindly offered samples while waiting, though the hustle, bustle vibes and long lines were not worth it. Unfortunately, while the food wasn't bad, per se, it also only fine. read more

We tried several pastries here and the one standout was the ham and cheese croissant. The non-melted shredded cheese on top was a nice touch. Buttery, cheesy deliciousness. The kouign amann was disappointing. It was too sticky and not laminated enough. The almond croissant also wasnt anything special. Stick to the ham and cheese. read more

Yummy macarons! I was in the mood for something sweet but not too heavy so I tried the macarons. Service was really fast but it can be a hit or miss depending on the time as the line can get long. I got the fraise des bois and passion fruit macarons. They were both good and the perfect amount of sweetness for me. They also sell other items like croissants, baguettes, coffee, etc. Definitely a must visit when you're in the area!! read more

This is one of my FAVORITE places in all of Seattle. They have a long line because they are worth the wait. The croissants alone are to die for - I initially got one, then I went back in line and got a dozen to bring home with me. Every single thing I tried here was amazing and I cannot wait to go back again. The cafe itself was very cozy, and despite how many people were flooding in from Pike Place it wasn't too loud or chaotic inside. My friends and I got some seats by the window and got to people watch while enjoying our treats and it was a perfect way to end the day. read more

Must go to near the Market. Delcious French Bakery. You may have to wait but the pastries are good!!! Word to note if you are trying to get ham/cheese croissants they don't have them in the afternoon and you would want to get them in the morning!! Must get the eclairs and the chocolate napoleon!!! They are soooo good. I should have gotten more but limited myself to two each to go. Friendly service, since it's summer they have free cold water and limited seating inside. I would highly recommend coming!!! read more
