    Vanilla shoe pastry
    Linda M.

    BEST. COFFEE. PASTRY. SHOP. EVER. !!! They are known for their shoe French pastries and omg they are so delicious. I heard a lady order a mocha and said it was really good ao I also ordered one and wooooow. It's a real French mocha. The best in my life. Ever. Jacque is the kindest and most welcoming human. His shop has such a nice vibe and feel. We talked about astronomy and he is just amazing to talk too! I've never felt so comfy at a comfy shop before. It felt like we were locals and were from LÁ! Jacque if you read this, happy holidays and wishing you an amazing new year!!! See you soon. - Dang and Linda

    one of the best pastries i've ever had. Chocolate was amazing, cream filling was perfectly sweet, the bread itself was soft and fluffy.

    We tried this place for the first the other day. And the owner is European, very good smooth espresso coffee. And we had a dessert so good. Wish I could have tried more! The place is small and cute.

    Cappuccino and raspberry cheese pastry
    Leilani Q.

    Stopped by early morning on a Tuesday! Not knowing what I was in for, I asked what was available. There were fresh, warm raspberry cheese pastries on the counter and some German donuts sitting on a rack. I hope to come by when there is also Choux available, but I think things are a little different during breakfast time! Cappuccino: straight forward, strong, goes well with pastries! Raspberry cheese pastry: the filling was so tasty, no raspberry seeds (a huge plus) and a creamy and slightly sweet cheese filling. Not too sweet at all and the pastry was nice a buttery. Came to us warm and we're so good!

    I don't know how people live this place. I support small and local businesses but this place was my least favorite while I was in Seattle. I got the eclair and it was not average it came out of the refrigerator and already had the cream in it. I was told that the pistachio was delicious and I asked for an eclair he didn't even ask what kind I wanted. I guess eclair means with chocolate and something filled I am not even shore what was inside Will I come back no because my chocolate mocha latte badly taste like chocolate when I asked for extra. I am better off down the street coffee shop.

    Very sweet staff here! It's a small space with a couple of seats along the wall. They don't have tea beverages unfortunately, but they do have espresso options. They also seem to mostly have choux pastries, which was unique too. Probably not a great option if you have dietary restrictions, but definitely a unique French bakery to check out!

    Lovely street tables

    We love it, Jack! The cozy little French style cafe on the street side. The coffee is genuinely nice so is your warm attitude. We love the Eclair you made- the best we had. I even felt nostalgic seeing your Thermomix on the countertop !:)

    Hazelnut choux, pistachio choux with raspberry, cappuccinos
    Natalie H.

    It felt like we were transported to Europe during our visit to Panterelli. The owners were so kind and friendly, and they explained what they make and where it comes from. We had the hazelnut choux and pistachio choux topped with raspberry. They were fluffy, creamy, sweet, divine goodness. The ILLY espresso is truly superior- we loved our cappuccinos and it reminded me of my time in Italy. You do not want to miss out on this lovely patisserie!

    Hazelnut Choux à la Crème (French Cream Puff)
    Victoria H.

    I am so glad to have this wonderful treasure in West Seattle. Panterelli is absolutely amazing. Jacques (the owner), and his employees, are always so kind, friendly and personable. They are always a pleasure to see. The service is wonderful. I also love the Parisian and authentic French atmosphere of the shop. The desserts are excellent. Jacques makes wonderful authentic Choux à la Crème (French Cream Puffs). They have just the right amount of cream on the inside and just the right amount of chocolate on the outside. I especially love the hazelnut flavor. I definitely recommend this authentic French dessert and coffee shop. If you are from outside of West Seattle, it is totally worth the drive to come and try these delicious desserts!

    Crepe
    Alisha M.

    I love a crepe but this crepe in particular was stunning! I got the hazelnut chocolate banana crepe. The hazelnut cream piped on top elevated the dessert. Lovely customer service. Gorgeous little cafè. Excited to return.

    Exterior, located between Cupcake Royale and Ala Mode (7/8/23)

    I was thankful that I-5S and 99N were straightforward to/from Shoreline, because I made yet another attempt to check out Panterelli in West Seattle (7/8/23, 8/4/23) after first reading about this indie business in late June. I also had good luck finding nearby street parking in the Junction. I purchased one of each of the three choux items featured in the pastry case on Friday morning, see my attached Yelp photos of whole choux and later halved. Note: the pastry case does not have signage or prices placed with each product. I was charged a flat $17.85 plus tip - this was just under $21. Each item was nicely packaged in Barbie-pink containers with a clear lid and placed carefully in a bag. I was reminded to make sure to refrigerate these choux if not consumed immediately. Duly noted for filled pastries on a summer morning. I would have inquired further about ingredient details and prices. However, there was another individual ahead of me. Plus while in line, I was detecting a strong distinct scent of chocolate. Sure enough, while packaging my items, the presumed owner had to pause and remove a pan of melting chocolate off the burner. Not seeing another pastry assistant in the production area, this was a one man business this morning. It is wasteful to burn chocolate, especially when on direct heat and not melting via a bain marie. So I did not want to further distract the owner with random questions. Plus in my case, the intended choux aficionado does not have a nut, gluten, or lactose allergy. Just take the above into consideration if you or others may have allergies or sensitivities. I would have had an Illy coffee onsite, per the first Yelp review mentioning "Perfect espresso". But the limited indoor seating was all a jumble - chairs all askew among the few tables. Again, that would have been another pause for the owner. I decided to have an espresso elsewhere instead. This bakeshop's niche is focusing on choux pastries, familiar as éclairs or cream puffs. The light airy eggy pastry is filled and dipped with tasty ingredients. I appreciated the pastry cream, but did not really pick up the pistachio flavor profile. The pastry shells were thin so contents were generous, but led to the shells not remaining crisp and a bit soggy. It is telling that the other halves have not been immediately consumed by The Homie. This and other observations resulted in an overall 3 Yelp review. Instagram posts showed another pastry assistant in training. Glad to see that another indie is fairly successful from the get go with early shop closure due to product being completely sold out. Hopefully Panterelli will get their par numbers increased to allow for consistency and variety. West Seattle loves their dessert choices with nearby A la Mode Pies, Cupcake Royale, Flying Apron, and Bakery Nouveau...and now with the addition of Panterelli.

I had a pain au chocolat, almond croissant and then the Croque Monsieur (I asked for it heated). The coffee is acceptable but not a destination location- however the pastries more than make up for it. Staff are pleasant and knowledgeable

    We visited this branch of Bakery Nouveau, hoping to snag some paczki since we forgot to preorder…read morefor Fat Tuesday (or as Michiganders know it, Paczki Day). Per the cashier, unlike previous years, where they often sold Paczki for several weeks leading up to the celebration, this year, they will only have them on Tuesday. Apparently every single one is handmade by the owner, Pâtissier William Leaman, and this year, he's been too busy with the 2026 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie competition as the US team's coach. That's certainly a great excuse! When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon a bit after lunch, this place was still quite busy with a line that stretched to the door, but not outside. As with the Burien location, I find the ordering process to be a bit of a pain; while there are plenty of workers to help, ordering is slowed due to the fact that the display cases are placed in a line and there's not much room in the building to maneuver to the desired display. In our case, while we had someone helping us all the way in the back of the line, we weren't able to select anything until we got all the way to the pastry case in the front. I'm not sure there's a good way to solve this conundrum, though. At any rate, we ended up only getting a single pastry (that was new to us) to try this time. Brown Sugar Pecan Brioche ($5) - This pastry looks like a glistening pecan sticky bun at first glance, with a cinnamon roll-like pinwheel structure and a brown sugar glazed pecan topping. Since it's brioche, I expected it to be dense, but soft, rich, and sweet. This bread is anything but. It's dense, dry, crumbly, almost clay-like in mouthfeel; basically everything brioche should not be. Instead of a sticky caramelized coating over the pecans, the pecans are glued on with only the thinnest of sugar coatings. The pastry doesn't claim to be a sticky bun, so it gets a pass there. Unfortunately the base layer is absolutely terrible, by far the worst "brioche" I've eaten in years. It has all the flavor of hard tack with the unpleasant mouthfeel of Play-Doh. Canned Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are far better than this waste of perfectly good ingredients. The owner should be ashamed to release this swill to the public. (1/5) Why am I giving Bakery Nouveau a 5? Because they serve some of the best twice baked croissants known to man. The Capitol Hill location is my go to for a sweet and buttery treat and I still recommend it to everyone that visits me, specifically for the almond and chocolate twice baked croissants. The paczki are no slouches either; probably the best we can get around Seattle. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Note: There will be some walk in availability for paczki on Tuesday, but the cashier told me that they will likely sell out by 10AM. Looks like an early morning trip to the Capitol Hill location is in my near future.

    Pioneer Square

    Located just a 5 minute walk away from the Pioneer Square light rail station, this small French…read morecafe 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

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!
