Get a taste of France here as you're exploring the Pike Place Market. I always get a variety of Macarons and a cup of London Fog. Perfect spot for a pit stop and a bit of people watching!

Traditional french recipes in the heart of Downtown Seattle. The Macarons are a staple, but it’s best to explore the extensive menu! Try the Jambon Mornay for a light, flaky, and savory flavor burst.

The Campagne bread tastes very good and is healthier than the baguette. I also tried theraspberry and apricot croissants -- very good, and the mushroom tarte (will take more of those to-go next time).

Pastries and lots of them. Most look too good to choose among, and the ones I tried tasted as good as they looked. Those really made a breakfast here a good idea.

Macarons are always on point, change daily/seasonally. Their broccoli and cheddar & ham and potato pastries are so delicious. Great coffee but always takes awhile & there's always a line but worth it

If you are anywhere near this place, wait in line for the Friand and the Chocolate Macaroons. I can't stop thinking about the Friand.

Their croissants are heavenly. In fact don't only get one item, get two. Who knows when a pocket pastry stashed in your purse or jacket will come in handy. The almond chocolate was excellent!

Amazing french bakery in the middle of Pike Place Market. Macaroons are to die for, bread scrumptious, everything divine. Highly recommend stopping by this place while in the market

All of their croissants are amazing! I always stop by at La Panier for to go before heading back to Bay Area!
Yas AbJune 23, 2016
Didn't have hope for this since it was located in a touristy area, but as a baker and a person who went to Paris: their almond croissant surpasses the ones in Paris. Amazing.

The Crudités sandwich is delicious, the macaroons are perfect and the croissant are nice and flaky. Sit in the window seat for prime people watching. And expect a touch of attitude when ordering.
Arminda Guillama-RodriguezJune 27, 2012
Excellent French bakery, get any croissant and you'll be happy. Pair with coffee and get a great start to the day - it gets busy though, so be prepared to wait a bit and fight for a table!
Sarah NelsonJuly 16, 2013
My go-to spot @ Pike Place. Stop here for an amazing baguette sandwich (+baked treat, +coffee), but come early- they sell out!
Neel HajareOctober 1, 2022
Have been here twice and don’t understand the hype. Tried the macarons, jambon mornay, epinard, palmier, pain au chocolat, brioche, provencale, meringue, sable, and coffee
Namitta ShankarJune 28, 2013
Only ever had macaroons here & never been disappointed. Try-almond, pistachio, caramel, citron, hazelnut. All Excellent. Don't wait in the queue if you only want macaroons. Walk upto the glass case!
Michael CJuly 11, 2018
Tried the vanilla macaroon. That takes my total to 3 flavors. All were fab.

Great place for pastries and sandwiches! Flaky crusts and light, fluffy croissants! What else can you ask for?
Eliot PardoSeptember 23, 2014
Mushroom tart was unbelievable, marion berry tart was friggin' delicious, but when I ate the passion fruit macaron I just had to exclaim FU€K!!!

All breads (except "grains) are excellent. Their little pastries are nice as well. Desserts are on point.

The best croissants in Seattle! I like the plain, Pain au chocolat, & the A la Framboise. The Josephine is yummy too.
Joe WalkerFebruary 11, 2020
The best eclair au chocolate with actual chocolate mousse filling. No custard here, that’s blaspheme.
CarmenNovember 3, 2014
The only thing I didnt like: they put my eclair and crosissants inlittle paper bags, and as a result they got damaged on the way home. I know, I should drive more carefully :)

Delicious french pastries, sandwiches made with fresh bread, and great coffee. Located near Pike Place Market, just a few blocks from the Monorail's Westlake Center platform.
Tana BabcockNovember 13, 2015
Great little cafe in the market area. Amazing, fresh baked pastries. Smells so delicious inside!
Mohsen HeidariJuly 15, 2022
The best Almandine I’ve ever had! It melts in mouth with just the perfect amount of sweetness.

Pumpkin friand is really good, and the coffee wonderful. No tourists taking photos until you get up the street to Starbucks. :-)
Alison LuMarch 15, 2019
For those who can never decide between chocolate croissant or almond croissant: enter chocolatine.
Erica P.April 27, 2013
The Dauphinoise is amazing! Also the chocolate almond croissant (I can't remember the name) is to die for!
Lu NovaesDecember 22, 2015
Perfect coffee and divine pastries. Excellent customer service.
Ashley RoseJuly 8, 2019
Crowded but delicious pastries. The Ham and cheese croissant is the most popular savory.

Love this bakery for great croissant in Seattle. Can be a little pricey.
Kelly KDecember 30, 2012
Excellent place for Pike Place Market atmosphere and people watching without the chaos! Everything is delicious and authentic. Try the macaroons!!
Jena MarionApril 3, 2011
Had the raspberry chocolate croissant, the chocolate bread, and the amandine - they were all incredible! Haven't had French food this good in a long time!
Alfredo BiraldeFebruary 21, 2015
Great coffee and amazing pastries get a croissant; classic and yet yummy

Good coffee, delectable pastries (chocolate or almond croissants, palmiers, macarons!). Hello, addiction. Goodbye moderation.
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)January 15, 2016
Get the amandine croissant, it's fresh, nutty, fluffy and lightly sweet
AlyFebruary 25, 2011
I come here for their meringues (pre-bagged and gorgeous) and their macarons. Of course I wish parking was easier, but this is the market we're talking about!
Bashayer KhalidAugust 29, 2014
Love! love! love! the amandine (almond croissant that has almond paste)
Riley EdmundsApril 14, 2013
The Crudités Sandwich is my go-to quick lunch when in the Market. It never disappoints!
Geetika GuptaDecember 29, 2014
Absolutely delectable expresso and French Patisserie
Danielle SmithDecember 26, 2010
I always make the trip into Seattle for the bread selection at La Panier. It is worth the trip in order to get fresh bread!

Tom Douglas choice for Best Bread Bakery: For the perfect French baguette, Le Panier in the Pike Place Market.
Daniel HeadrickApril 11, 2015
The eclairs are the best thing here. The pain chocolat is next. The baguettes aren't that impressive/authentic.
Anisa GhadrshenasOctober 15, 2011
the amandine/almond croissant is my fav baked good, although you really can't go wrong with anything here
Hari RaghavanNovember 13, 2016
Really good flavors but texture of the croissant (chewy rather than flaky) in the afternoon left a bit to be desired.
Elizabeth L.June 23, 2012

Hazelnut macaron, amandine (almond pastry) are delish. Decent coffee as well. PPM-must.
Rachel HartleyOctober 20, 2012
Brioche loaf to go. Make French toast with it. Trust me, it'll be life-changing.
