Le Panier

They’ve perfected buttery, savoury or sweet French pastry! Jambon M was better even than it looks! And we were impressed with their americanos too! Efficient service. Prices are a bit above average.

This place caught my eye one day, so I decided to pop in. That might have been the best decision I made that day! These are arguably the best macarons I've ever had (and I've been to Paris). They were also some of the thickest, but still super soft and delicate. Café was like eating a perfect latte; caramel was perfectly rich with a hint of salt. Everything had distinct flavors and well-balanced sweetness. There were plenty of other good looking pastries, but definitely add Le Panier macarons to your Pike Place grocery list!

Not bad macaron, cookie and french pastries and bread. But despite it's name the taste is not very authentic French.

The cappuccino has way too much foam, so it's not Italian either

My second time here and we went straight for the macarons. We tried nearly every flavor, and my favorites were the wild strawberry and raspberry. The macaron cookies themselves were pillowy soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Both fillings were tart, which cut the creaminess and sweetness a bit. Some of the best macarons I’ve tried!

Small cozy place with loads of fresh baked goods. I purchased a handful of macaroons and totally loved it. Perfect crunch and bite.. loved the variety of flavors

The bakery is on the same block as Piroshky and the Original Starbucks. They sell I really diverse selection of pastries, including sweet and salty, I tried about 4 of them (in different days haha) and I loved them. Their croissants are as good as it gets. They also have hot and cold drinks. If you come early in the morning before 10AM there will be a short line but not big deal. There is no seating right now due to covid, but you could walk back to the picnic area (in the entry of the Pike Market) and enjoy your food there. They also have to-go gift sets of cookies, palmiers, and some others. The also have a good selection of coffee and tea, both hot and cold. Prices are similar to other pastries like Piroshky (there are some photos of the menu already post it)

You should definitely try it if you are around. It’s delicious! 😉

The pastries from le panier are always fantastic. It reminds me so much of the great pastries I’ve had while visiting Europe and everything is fresh and high quality.

Delicious, quality pastries! There’s a bit of a wait though, I came on a Saturday afternoon, so it’s to be expected - but it was worth it. The chouquettes were a surprise delight. Fluffy, airy, and sweet! My favorite macaron was the lemon one!

It's always busy here because of the location. And I do enjoy their pastries but it's not my favorite place to go.

I got a two of their pastries - almond croissant and apricot pastry. The Almond croissant was very good, the apricot pastry was meh. I also got a hot chocolate - the small size was tiny - I didn't realize how tiny it was and should've gone for a bigger size since it's only a quarter or 2 more. The hot chocolate was not as strong as I would've preferred but it was tasty and not too sweet.

I don't think I would come here instead of my favorite places and because it's so touristy....but if I needed to come for a pastry here, then they're not bad for the most part.

Great varieties of macrons, croissants 🥐, and delicious lattes 😍👌🏽. Staffs are friendly and welcoming ☺️ Clean and well maintained store.
My favorites are the Jelly Croissants, Almonds, Latte 😍👌🏽, Macrons- Chocolate, Vanilla, Framboise, Pistachio, and Caramel.
