Le Panier

Best French bakery in Seattle. Almond croissant are my favorite. The line moves fast and its well worth waiting.

Wow! Great combination of sweet and savory pastory items. Loved the almond croissant, crispy and flacky with an almond paste inside. Also really enjoyed the ham and cheese. It was all very good. They also made a nice latte to enjoy as well. Just a great spot right next to Pikes market.

Le Panier is a nice french bakery at Pike's place. The line winds through the store past the pastry cases so you get to admire all the treats while you wait to complete your purchase. We tried an almond chocolate croissant which was light, fluffy, flaky, sweet, and delicious! It was crowded, so we were only able to snag 1 chair between the 2 of us.

01/26/19: 5.0 out of 5 - Traveling from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA with my wife and mother-in-law for the weekend, Let Panier is ALWAYS A MUST STOP.

There is typically always a line, but it seems to go pretty fast. Once you pick out what you want and pay, it is the seating part that can be a challenge as you should only be able to Seattle after you paid. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Just be aware of that.

Let Panier always seems to provide variety of choices, especially French pastries. There seems to be something for everyone, and it has always been very tasty.

Overall, the food and service is just topnotch! Although we are there for the weekend, we will be stopping by again before we get on our way back to Portland, Oregon.

If you have the opportunity to stop and try this place, definitely do try this place out once and decide for yourself. Let Panier didn't disappoint us.

Enjoy!

I love love love their pastry! The ham/cheese croissants is just perfection. They keep them on a warm plate so it is ready to eat right as they serve it. Their coffee is also great. I got an iced coffee and my friend got an almond latte. Great breakfast or snack and in an awesome location right by the market.

I would honestly travel to Washington from Ohio just to go to this bakery if I could. This was by far the best pastries I’ve ever tried and the macaroons were the perfect taste/texture/temperature. Everything was fresh and the service was wonderful + I didn’t feel that the prices were unreasonable. 5/5 for sure!!

Market classic - great pastries (my raspberry jam croissant was fresh and flakey) and good coffee. Great place to take a break and people watch.

One of the most amazing bakeries in this city!! Baguettes are soooo perfect. The almond croissants are THE BEST. The chocolate almond croissants are even better!! Get the bag of orange pistachio shortbread cookies on the shelf right before the counter! 😁

Great French bakery in the Pike Place area. Full most of the time but worth the wait. The have sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. Sweets and savory pastries. Great coffee, better than the other place ,if you appreciate a great coffee this is better. On the board next to the barista you can see the feature pastries that are available sometimes like the Joanna of Arc, a must have if is available.

My first trip to Seattle and my Uber driver recommended this place so I decided to check it out on a Sunday morning. The line wasn’t too bad, took about 10 ish minutes to get to the front. I ordered a chocolate croissant and a spinach epinard along with a cassis macaroon. The chocolate croissant wasn’t warm and I had asked if they could warm it for me and they said no. The spinach Epinard was warm. I wish they had heated up the chocolate croissant some since I like melted chocolate, and it’s not difficult to do, hence the 4 star.
