I've been here twice now and it is a cute bakery with indoor and outdoor seating! The inside is really nice and there's lots of food options. I got the savory pastry with goat cheese and onions on top and I loved it. I'm not sure if they toast pastries but my friends and I agreed it would be nice to toast the pastries like croissants but that may be a personal preference. Staff were friendly, will come back for more!
Disclaimer: first time trying and it was during the World Cup finale and mariners came, and they were very busy. Positive: they have a lot of prepackaged food from France (shelf stable and refrigerated). AMAZING customer service. The staff are friendly, didn't feel rushed, and constantly moving. The staff clear the table and serve you. It's a wonderful interior and exterior building and location within Pioneer Square. Surprised: we ordered several things and nothing was noteworthy. 1) The almond croissant was moist and flat. 2) The Madison Chicken Salad: was underdressed, thinly shredded (previous photos show the chicken being small strips), the sweet caramelized onions were the best. I didn't add bacon or avocado so possibly that would have added some dimension to the salad. There was way more arugula than needed. 3) Saint Germaine Breakfast to-go with strawberry jam. Baguette was narrow and chewy. The strawberry jam was mildly sweet. 4) Cannelle was okay but I have had better in Seattle. I saw some folks who ordered the avocado toast and that looked really good.
Love everything about this bakery! Staff were super friendly and I felt like I was talking to a friend when ordering. The almond croissant was very good- soft and airy just a really good croissant. The sweetness was a little bit too sweet for my liking but on par with the traditional French almond croissant. My friend got the ham and cheese sandwich that came in a really fresh and crunchy baguette and it was very good as well. You can also enjoy it the pastry inside the bakery or sit outside at the patio. I will be back!
We are so happy we ran into this place! Owned by a very kind French couple, truly authentic French food. We ended up going 2 days in a row because we loved it so much. The most amazing croissant I've ever eaten. Every trip to Seattle we will be stopping here. Go try it you won't regret it!
1 star for the gorgeous decor and setting 1 star for ample options and delicious bakery items 1 star for delicious food items both breakfast and lunch as well as a delicious mocha 1 star for ample seating inside and out as well as their unique French items 1 star for nice service, she was really patient 5 stars are well deserved! Evening was fresh, beautiful decor and true to the theme of a French patisserie! We came here walking about looking for a light breakfast and they delivered! Even if you just want a delicious espresso and scrumptious baked treat this is the place! DO NOT pass them up! Yes there are other options but NOT like this in the area!
Very disappointing experience, especially as a solo customer. I ordered just a coffee and some bread, but waited an extremely long time. They were already serving order #28 while my #20 still hadn't been served. When I asked about it, I was told that the numbers are random and orders aren't necessarily served in numerical order, which was confusing and frustrating. By the time my coffee finally arrived, I had waited so long that I no longer wanted it and refused it. The staff did offer me a $15 gift card afterward, which I appreciate, but it doesn't change how unpleasant the experience was. The wait was simply unreasonable for such a small order. I would not recommend this place, especially if you're dining alone.
Located just a 5 minute walk away from the Pioneer Square light rail station, this small French cafe serves some seriously good pastries. They use high quality ingredients (Isigny Ste Mere butter, Valrhona chocolate, etc). It's something that really comes through in the final product. Cinnamon Cruffin ($6.50) - I'm not sure I would call this a cruffin since there's not really any laminated layers on the interior. It's more like monkey bread, with a richer brioche interior interspersed with ribbons of cinnamon, then dusted with cinnamon sugar on the outside. There are some crispy caramelized sugar bits on top which I found to be fun to bite into. (4/5) Casse-Noisette ($6.50) - The lamination on this croissant looks quite nice, but the interior isn't particularly buttery and the layers are quite delicate. It's filled with a hazelnut-dark chocolate spread which is sticky, messy and rich. I believe it's a homemade spread rather than nutella due to the richer taste and darker color. The exterior of the croissant is soft instead of crusty and shattering, probably since we didn't eat this until the end of the day. They sprinkle crunchy pearl sugar and crushed hazelnut on top, adding some additional pleasing texture. (5/5) Savory Tartelette ($6.50) - This tart is filled with tangy and funky goat cheese, sweet and soft caramelized onion, a drizzle of honey, and a small zing of rosemary, on a super buttery and crisp base. The croissant base tastes by far the most buttery as compared to both the Almond and Hazelnut croissants. (5/5) Almond Croissant ($6.50) - I believe this is a double baked croissant given the dark brown bake. As with the casse-noisette, this croissant has been softened by the Seattle spring humidity and unfortunately no longer remains particularly crisp. The croissant is cut in half and filled with a sweet almond frangipane. I believe it's made in house - it's more sugary than almond, and the texture is quite a bit less viscous than most almond croissants. The frangipane compresses the croissant layers into thicker slabs, and this creates a chewy texture that almost reminds me of egg in texture. (4/5) Kouign-Amann ($6.50) - Finally another proper Kouign-Amann! This one has enriched more brioche-like laminated dough rather than plain croissant dough like a lot of other bakeries use. This makes the pastry so much richer and decadent. The interior here has a certain flavor that's totally different from the dough in the casse-noisette and in the tart. I feel like there's a unique funk that might be from cultured butter. The pastry is still quite flaky, with layers that easily come apart, and there's still a bit of a crunch from the sugar glazed over the surface. I especially love the center, where towards in the interior, there's an almost sweet custard-like center, and the center top, where there's a sand-like mound of almost-melted sugar. (5/5) Marbre ZigZag ($5.99) - Really moist and dense marble cake, deceptively heavy for the size. There's a thick layer of dark chocolate ganache covering the cake layer, making the slice exceptionally rich. (5/5) La Baguette MBO ($3.95) - This is an oddly shaped baguette, curved instead of flat, and very uneven in width. The shape was strange enough I thought the baguette would not be good. Cutting it open with a bread knife, the interior crumb seems a little tight, missing some of the more open holes of a well risen baguette. The taste and crustiness, however, are excellent. The flavor is very well developed and there's a hard baked crust that gives a fantastic baguette crisp. It's not perfect, but for $4, which is less than baguettes cost at most places in Seattle, this is a great deal. (5/5) Mirabelle by Orphée is another excellent Seattle bakery! I will definitely be visiting again. Bathrooms - Single unisex room shared with the other building tenants. Requires code to enter
This is a go to spot for patio brunch with my pup and delicious French bakery. I love the quiche so much. I get it every time. They have tons of amazing options for bakery and for entrees. The service is always lovely and friendly. The inside and outside are usually bustling and charming. A clear favorite.
Charming! Went here with Francophile friends and we enjoyed our time. I got a croissant and a latte and we sat outside. The croissant was large and delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. Summer time in pioneer square has a charming vibe. I think going early in the morning before it got busy helped. I'll get the baguette or the ham sandwich next time. I got some French provisions to go. Will be back.
Ooo if you want French cuisine, this is IT. Best pastries I've had outside of Europe and maybe even better. Staff are actually French and so nice. It's a small little cafe, but incredible food and coffee. The beignet and hazelnut croissant were divine.
Strong opinion incoming. Dare I say, Mirabelle makes the best kouign-amann and pain au chocolat I've had in Seattle. The texture, lamination, butter quality, saltiness, and sweetness were all perfect to me. High marks! Cute shop too, was not busy near closing when I visited. They have inside tables and outside tables. A bit warm inside the shop on a hot day btw, so prepare for this if you'll eat there and you can always take your pastries to go and enjoy them near the water views. This location is pretty close to the water taxi and ferry terminals, so this may turn into my quick snack pick-up before heading on the ferry! Highly recommend and can't wait to try some of their other items!
I am so glad I came here for breakfast on my solo trip to Seattle this past weekend. Though it was a Saturday morning (10am), the line was surprisingly short with only 2 parties ahead of me. You enter the café and order first, so make sure you browse through the menus they have on the right counter to get a better idea of what you'd like. As I was waiting in line, I saw them restocking their baguettes and it took everything within me to not buy one just to try! All the pastries by the front look amazing, but knowing I had the underground tour (which is RIGHT next door) after breakfast, I couldn't necessarily order with just my eyes. I eventually opted with their seasonal mademoiselle yuzu sweet treat and Mr. Breakfast 2.0. I added avocado with the house-made brioche bun and the size was so petite yet perfect for 1 serving! The yuzu treat was FANTASTIC and has this citrusy cream and meringue that's to die for. To get a caffeine fix, I ordered a regular latte with oatmilk--not sweet at all but did the job to get something warm in me on a chilly day! There are about 10 small tables you can dine inside for, but it's a bit difficult to snag one since they fill up quick! There's a lot more seating outside if you don't mind, which I did anyway especially with the great weather that day.

For now, I am giving it a 3 star. I was in between 3 and 4 but when expectations are high, the disappointment hits harder too. BUT I will revisit to try more of their pastries. I saw this place on a list for top 3 croissants in Seattle. Obviously I had to come through and taste their original plain. And... Idk! It wasn't bad but it wasn't... that great either. I prefer Bakery Nouveau (West Seattle location) and Saboteur way more. The service was good and the ambiance was quite cute. Check out my photos! read more

Such a charming little French bakery in Pioneer Square! Mirabelle by Orphée has a lovely Parisian feel, with beautiful pastries, croissants, and a small selection of French specialty foods. The historic brick building and outdoor seating add so much character to the place. Chef/Owner Orphée was there when I visited and was very friendly and welcoming. He took the time to help customers and chat with us about some of the French products. I asked him about one of my favorites, Maison Bordier - Le Beurre Bordier , and was surprised when he told me he has been trying to bring it into the shop, but the waitlist is apparently all the way until 2029! We picked up several pastries to take home, and they were delicious. You can really feel the attention to French tradition and quality here. A wonderful little find in Pioneer Square, especially if you love French pastries. Definitely worth stopping by for a croissant and coffee. Parking in the area can be a little challenging, so you may need some luck finding a spot! Thank you, Orphée, for the warm hospitality. We'll definitely be back! read more

Honestly I haven't had a baguette sandwich this good since I was in Paris last! I'm so obsessed with how fresh and flavourful the authentic dishes are here. I ordered The Parisien "Cochon" which was absolutely delicious! I just wish the bread wasn't so hard, I needed to take several breaks to rest my jaw. My sister loved her latte. She adored the flavour of the sweet vanilla and that the oat milk had a high quality taste with a creamy texture. I agree that the drinks are perfect, my medium oat milk mocha was perfect with a delectably rich profile. My only qualm is the cleanliness! There aren't very many tables that seat more than two, so my mom, sister, and I had to push together two tables that were absolutely filthy. One was covered in croissant flakes and the table was covered in crumbs and the floor was dirty. Overall it just ruined the entire aesthetic and atmosphere that the place wasn't clean at all. The food is totally worth overlooking the mess and my sister and I will definitely be back the next time we're craving a taste of Paris!! read more
Love love this place!!! the most beautiful serving dishes, delicious food. Just love it. One thing I wish that would change, is that in Madame Yuzu they are using a new jam which is now brown and liquidy like molasses adding a slightly bit bitter flavor to my favorite tart. I wish they would go back to using the one they used originally. We try to come here every few weeks. read more

Wow!!! This place is AMAZING! Real French pastries that taste just like France, but right here in Seattle! The baguette is absolutely incredible--made with authentic ingredients and tastes exactly the way a baguette should. They don't use preservatives or added sugars; everything is made with real, quality ingredients. They even import their flour from France, yet the prices are still very reasonable. I highly recommend this café for breakfast or brunch with friends. Great cappuccino, delicious quiche dish, and truly amazing pastries! read more

A solid 4 stars. Who knew that one can get the best classic croissant on a trip to Seattle. My friend speaks French fluently and enjoyed the authenticity and traditional French fare as well. Croissant - perfect, I would have gotten another one but will look forward to returning before our trip ends. Avocado toast - egg added (extra) was the best bang for your buck and the lightly dressed, bright, crisp salad was a pleasant surprise. Chicken salad - no picture but was a no-frills, arugula based salad with shredded chicken and a hint of cheese. This was our least favorite item and if not for this the food would have been given 5 stars. Large latte - generous portion and delicious with the star of the show - a plain croissant! The ambiance is impeccably French cafe too but the way in which you order wasn't efficiently laid out; seemed a bit confusing. Perhaps it was simply due to there being a large group who were seated right near the slightly hidden cashier (to the side of the pastry display) or we weren't sure what to expect on our first time there. We sat outside and that was extremely pleasant. Definitely would go back for the croissant alone! read more
Super buttery croissant!! It's everything you want: crispy and chewy with distinct, beautiful layers! They have lots of other delicious pastries and a good amount of seats to have some sit down French style brunch items. Highly recommend getting here early as it gets quite busy. read more
I know chef patissiere Orphee from his L'Experience Paris tenure. I still remember when he handed me a galette de rois kouign Amman many years ago in Mercer island, what a masterpiece! Today I decided to visit his place in pioneer square, knowing that the quality would be good. I have to say that the espresso beverage was not on par with other options in the Seattle area. I asked for a breve Cortado, and I was served basically a latte in a regular cappuccino cup with little to no micro foam. The espresso was bitter and not super enjoyable. Then, instead of going for the viennoiserie, which I know had to be outstanding, I went for a pastry, the carré vendom, a cube of chocolate/hazelnut mousse coated in chocolate and nuts. It was good, especially dipped in the Cortado, but not outwardly like I was hoping for. So, a great experience, but below expectations. Next time I'll go for the croissant or kouign Amman! read more
All I can say is wow. This is a must try place in Seattle. I heard a lot about this place via Instagram so decided to give it a try. I went here twice before able to give a fair rating. This is a small shop in pioneer square. They have a few seatings but it's also small so not good for big groups. Parking is street if you can find them. The owner of the shop is the person taking your order and he very nice and has a strong French accent :) Food wise: Croque monsieur 5/5 it doesn't feel heavy and feels clean and healthy. Love the flavor on this and the texture is amazing. Get it with egg! Terrine 4/5 -- this is for the adventurous eater. This is similar to the vietnamese pate but the flavor is a lot stronger. It comes with a side of butter and some bread. I didn't care for the bread as much. The combo of butter and pate was delicious. I actually spread it on the croissant that I had and wow, soooo good. Hot chocolate 3/5 -- pretty standard Regular croissant 4.5/5 -- feels soft but actually flaky, needs a little more butter flavor though. Kouig aman 4.5/5 -- love the layers, needs a little more sugar. Texture was perfect Cinnamon cruffin 4.5/5 -- almost like a pull apart bread but still have layers, flavor was good. Hazelnut croissant / apple turnover (oui oui) / beignet 4/5 --- really good flavor, soft and light. Carre verdome 10/5 --- one of the best cakes I had in a really long time. I love the crunch, the soft silky texture and rich chocolate flavor. Price was also very reasonable which kind of surprise me given how everything is inflated these days. Overall, this should be on your list to go if you're heading down to Seattle read more

This place is super cute! Definitely reminds me of the cafes in France. I finally got the chance to try it after hearing about it for a while, and came on a slightly rainy weekend. The staff were all super sweet and friendly, and they have a great selection of baked goods and other items as well. I ended up getting a classic croissant, since that's what I tend to always get when trying a new spot. Theirs was gigantic and was so reasonably priced - you won't really find this elsewhere in Seattle! I do wish they warmed it up for you, but nonetheless it was still pretty good. I will say for the texture, this croissant won't blow you away as it leans on the softer side overall (rather than the crispy flaky layers). However, for flavor this one is absolutely delicious - the buttery-ness of this one is outstanding, and the flavor is so so good. My friend also got the canele which I took a bite out of, and it was fantastic. I've never had a canele before but this one definitely stood out - it was the perfect crispy exterior with a soft and chewy and flavorful middle. Highly recommend getting that! Overall, a very cute spot with good vibes friendly service and yummy pastries. Highly recommend! read more
=== Overall === An authentic feeling place for a good croissant. Would go back and recommend! === Food === I got a chocolate and regular croissant. Both were flaky and not too hard - a good balance of flakiness and softness. Price seemed reasonable and the chocolate inside of the chocolate croissant was very tasty. === Service === Pretty friendly counter service, and they helped put away the plates that you use when you dine in. === Ambiance === Pioneer square gets some characters, there was someone yelling inside of the store that left which wasn't this business's fault, they handled it professionally. It's well decorated and the pastries are displayed beautifully. read more

TLDR: The best, most flaky pastries made with top-tier ingredients and care. If you're in the area and they're open, go inside! A full recap of my experience: The food, the ambiance, and the service are all in a league of their own. I had the pleasure of joining a croissant making class with the talented team at Mirabelle and was blown away by the attention to detail, from the fresh ingredients to the prep and baking process. The croissants are 10/10 and I can't wait to come back and try more menu items! read more
I've been meaning to try this olace for a while, but especially glad to try now since I just returned from two months in France and can make a first comparison- this is legit! Both the food and the atmosphere. Charming interior with cafe tables and a view of passersby; soft music plays in the background. The dishes match the vibe perfectly, and carafes of water are available free of charge, just like in France. The service is friendly and engaging. The cappuccino was flavorful. The pain au chocolat was large, very buttery, and a good quality chocolate. The baguette was perfect; well baked, great crust, and a super chew. Tasted terrific with lightly salted butter. In short, this is easily comparable to a brasserie in France. The menu and cafe are enticing, inviting one to explore further. read more
Great pastries, but a terrible cashier. It was almost like she was trying not to smile. Clearly not a cooperative work situation. Pioneer Square is a high tourist area, and that attitude sucks when you're visiting a place for the first time and just trying to get something sweet to snack on. That said, the chocolate cherry croissant was delicious - but I'm not sure it's worth seeing that sour mug again . read more
We have eaten our fair share of croissants and French food around the world, but we didn't expect Seattle to have such a fantastic addition that makes us trek across the bridge every Saturday. Fantastic mom and son team, hard working, personable people, and there is simply no miss across what they offer: delicious no-frill classic French food with perfect execution. Our fav is the goat cheese quiche and canele, but everything else is simply perfect. You deserve all the recognition from your hardwork read more
I finally made it here after avoiding the crazy lines since opening. I'm not someone who enjoys waiting in line -- I usually stick to places that take reservations -- but this spot doesn't take any, so I just had to go for it. This place is a true breakfast‑and‑bakery gem. The baguettes were flying off the shelves the moment they came out. All the pastries looked amazing, but we wanted something more filling, so we ordered the croque‑monsieur and the quiche Lorraine. Both were delicious -- the quiche was soft, creamy, and savory, and the croque‑monsieur had that perfect ham‑and‑cheese comfort. And the mimosa here was surprisingly great. Even the side salad was fresh. Finding a seat is the tricky part. You basically have to scan for tables while ordering. It was already busy at 8am, and when we arrived around 9:30, the place was packed and we waited in line to order. Funny enough, it seemed quieter around 10:30 before it got busy again. The chef even came out to ask how everything was, and he was incredibly kind. Next time, I'm definitely grabbing a bag full of bread to take home. A delicious, casual American‑style breakfast in a lively atmosphere -- worth the visit, even with the wait. read more

Gorgeous French place with breakfast and lunch items and lovely patisserie We loved the mr breakfast that came in a soft delicious brioche bun with French cheese and sunny side up egg and arugula. I feel this needed a side salad though. The almond croissant and the pain de chocolate were exquisite. Would love to be back again for breakfast when in town. There was a small line when we came today on a Sunday around 10am but nothing too bad and you can quickly get a table inside or outside. Clean bathrooms as well. Beautiful experience with our 7 year old and would love to be back! read more
Their pastries are phenomenal. I love the combination of crispiness and softness of their croissants. The cherry flavor is made with really fruit and not overly sweet at all. Pair it with any of their drinks make a great treat of the day. Almost all the ingredients they use are from France. The ingredients are all of high quality, and you won't find this level of quality at such a low price anywhere else.. Usually gluten makes me feel uncomfortable but I DIDN'T experience any discomfort with Mirabelle's pastries!! If the way gluten is grown and harvested matters this much, then I finally found a croissant I can enjoy in town without worrying about gluten. It's also the best one I've ever had. The own is kind and a great leader who does cleaning and talking to customers as well. Here is a great place to order pastries and light dishes for any events! read more
As a croissant lover, I had to try this place after seeing the glowing reviews. We came here around Saturday at 10 AM and the line wasn't bad, but it started to get very crowded a bit later on. First, the ambience is very cute and chic, and the plates are so beautiful. I recommend eating there although there are only about 4-5 tables for indoor seating. We ordered the baguette with butter, many pastries, and a yuzu tart: Baguette with butter and jam - this was one of the most moist baguettes I've had. I personally don't usually like baguettes but this was my favorite thing here! Mademoiselle yuzu - this is a yuzu tart with meringue at the top. Tart and sweet, this was quite refreshing Plain croissant, kouign amann - sadly, these were misses for me. Not flaky and buttery enough. I'm used to the super flaky kinds I've had in SF. Kouign amann felt a bit stale. Maybe the SF ones aren't as authentic French but then so be it, that's just my preference. Casse noisette - this is a croissant with a lot of hazelnut chocolate cream inside. I liked the bits of hazelnut toppings but the pastry itself was again not flaky/buttery enough for me, and the chocolate filling was a bit too overpowering and sweet. I recommend coming here for the baguette and a cute brunch vibe, but I personally wouldn't come for the pastries. read more
A cozy Parisian / French cafe in Pioneer Square. I don't go to Pioneer Square a whole lot due to distance from where I live that's a sizable bus ride away or driving will be tough with paid and limited parking. But this place is worth the journey to Pioneer Square. Apparently it gets very busy at lunch but it was not when I went around 2pm. Usually the pastries are the ones on display while the made-to-order lunch dishes are available consistently. I originally wanted to get the regular Parisian croissant but due to popularity, they sold out before noon. So I opted to get the other croissant that they made thereafter - chocolate almond cherry croissant which is a bit more loaded and decadent than the original for sure. $6 for one is a bit steep but the croissant was large and filling. It's like half a meal for me. The first bite was divine - buttery and crunchy and flaky. The inside filling is decent though it did take away this crunchiness. But I'd say I got to experience the best of both worlds - nice chocolate and almond paste inside, with their signature croissant texture on the outside. read more

Went to check out this place on Sunday. We went an hour before it closed before of the bad 405 traffic. When we got there we were informed there are no hot food left and only have little amount of pastries left. But it's okay we got a blueberry tart and a pastry with raspberry jam, plus a latte and americano. The spoons looked dirty for some reason or maybe that's a vintage spoon? I have no idea. The blueberry tart was amazing! Not too sweet which I like personally. The blueberries were fresh and sweet. The latte was okay, not the best coffee but also not the worst. read more
