They have a switchback line in the street across from the restaurant as they don't want you blocking the sidewalks. Smart move. We really wanted to eat here, so on Sunday we arrived at around 8 am and there wasn't a line. We had the best breakfast. I ordered the egg, hash browns, and cheese. It was warm, soft, and filling. I also got the apple blossom which was really good. I loved the fresh fruit in my pastry. For dessert I got the chocolate hazelnut one. I was so full that I haven't finished it yet. I highly recommend you come here. Bring your patience. Also buy more than you think you will eat as it will be so good and you won't want to stand in line again. They have a couple of benches out front so you can eat your finds right away. We lucked out that they are free. Make sure you grab napkins before you head out. The napkin rack is on the wall.

Delicious! And quick--perfect for grabbing a fast breakfast to kick off a Pike Place Market day…read more Based on the reviews I'd read--and seconded by a local waiting in line behind us--I ordered the salmon pâté, and it was DELICIOUS. SOOOOOO YUMMY. Easily my favorite of everything we tried. I also ordered the Uli's Sausage Jalapeño, which was delicious as well. Hubby ordered the monthly special (a Bacon Cheeseburger) and had some ordering regrets after trying mine. Fortunately, he also got the Potato & Cheese, which he really liked. Both of us said that next time, we'd order one savory and one sweet item instead. Definitely worth a stop!

The baked goods and lattes are quite nice here. Located right at the Pike's Place Market and…read morewalkable to the favorite sites. I've been here a few times and always had a positive experience. The line was short but can definitely build up but not as long as some other options on the street. I had a spinach flaky roll and latte. Both were just right and honestly above average. I will be back and the vibes of the area are worth coming back to not to mention exactly what Le Pannier's great at too.

Honestly, I was taken aback by the raving reviews here because my first (and it would be my last)…read morevisit to Le Panier fell completely short of expectations. So, what went well, and what has plenty of room for improvement? SERVICE - 5/5 The staff was super friendly and just really cool! I especially appreciated that he grabbed the pain au chocolat from the back at my request. I did not want mine touching the almond croissants displayed so closely together. I wanted a pain au chocolat, not an almond pain au chocolat. Sorry! AMBIANCE - 4/5 A very busy bakery/café located at Pike Place Market, near Starbucks. I liked the wall décor and the overall cozy vibe. Finding an empty seat may be a challenge? KOUIGN-AMANN/PAIN AU CHOCOLAT/MERINGUE - 2/5 Kouign-amann - 0/5 It pained me to give a kouign-amann such a low score, especially because it is my all-time favorite pastry. But this one was so subpar that I could not even finish it. It was, frankly, a complete waste of butter, flour, sugar and labor. I once lodged a complaint with a GM and Director of F&B at a certain Ritz-Carlton because their kouign-amanns were so bad that I asked them to stop whoever was making them. Since then, there has been a huge improvement, and that is what genuine feedback should accomplish. Pastry integrity is of utmost importance, and pastry crime is hardly forgivable. Pain au Chocolat - 2/5 Doughy and deeply disappointing. I simply cannot reconcile this with the fact that Le Panier has supposedly been a beloved fixture of Seattle's food scene since 1983. MERINGUE -- 5/5 Can anyone possibly mess up a meringue?? It is extremely disappointing to visit what is supposed to be a legendary, quintessential French bakery in Seattle, only to find that the two pastries I was most looking forward to, the kouign-amann and pain au chocolat, were both such letdowns. A café/bakery cannot survive on service and ambiance alone. The pastries have to deliver too. Time to rehone the baking skills, Le Panier.

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

Bakery Nouveau no longer has anywhere to sit, so it is purely a to-go location. The barista was…read morekind enough to suggest sitting at a bench at Kaiser Permanente, across the street. I am not sure how to rate this bakery. I bought two items. The pear tart was excellent. The crust was rich, dense and sweet, and the frangipane filling was perfect, with slices of pear layered on top. The chocolate croissant, on the other hand, was beautiful but almost flavorless. Averaging on high score and one low brings me to 3 stars.

Came around 1-2pm on a weekend and they still had a full pastry case! I always love seeing that…read morelater in the day since some other cafes are getting empty around that time. They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

Don't park at the adjacent bank parking lot, even when they're closed, as when I went on Sunday they had someone ticketing everyone who parked and walked away. I got a small baguette and a cinnamon roll. The baguette has a lovely, toothsome crust, yielding to a diaphanous soft inner portion that tastes almost savory. It's good enough to eat by itself, or makes a wonderful base for sandwiches. This is definitely a bread to savor. The cinnamon roll has almost caramelized raisins inside, very unique. The cinnamon is balanced with the brown sugar so it's perfectly sweet. As for the dough, it's laminated so it's almost croissant-like and yet chewy and crisp at the same time. Delicious!

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

i've been sleeping on dahlia's which is so upsetting because it's so yummy. it took me like 5…read moreminutes to decide what i wanted because everything looked so delish. do I do sweet or savory? breakfast or lunch? sooo many choices. Their cinnamon rolls looked amazing with the perfect decadent amount of frosting but so did the sprinkle cookies. The staff was kind and welcoming and patient wth me with my delay in decision making. I have so many things that I need to go back and try, most likely with a group, so I can try lots of things. They do lots of specialty items, depending on the day which is a fun way to spice up their menu. I ended up going with the burrata focaccia sandwich which came with burrata, roasted bing cherries, pistachio butter, balsamic, arugula, and sea salt focaccia. SOOOO yummy. Great sandwich, and I am so glad that they did lunch items early in the AM. The cherries were such a unique addition to the sandwich but worked well, and they were also representative of the local area (Rainier Cherries). I wish that there was flaky salt on the bread. I didn't get much salt flavor wise, even though is says sea salt focaccia. The focaccia bread was soft which is my preference for focaccia. Sometimes burrata texture can be weird, but this one was smooth, creamy, and perfect texture.

Scheduled an online order, which…read moreis super easy to do on their website at least 3 days ahead of time and lets you skip the line! Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.

My partner and I were enticed in on a whim after paddle boarding in Lake Union and it did not disappoint. The smell of the smoker outside hit us as soon as we parked and from then we decided we couldn't leave without trying a little something. We ended up getting the miso caramel pork belly from the Hinoki food truck with a side of rice. The pork belly was really well flavored, smoky, sweet, and salty. I'm only taking half a star off for the rice which really wasn't great as it was mushy and overcooked. I would probably opt for the fries next time instead, though this might be a heavier combination. The service was good, and everyone we interacted with was perfectly nice and helpful. The plan is to definitely come back again and try more of what they have on their menu like the smoked half chicken, and even some drinks and things from the bakery.
