Le Panier Very French Bakery

Amazing, decadent, perfect. It really doesn't matter how bad your day has been. If somone hands you a freshly baked pain au chocolat, everything is right with the world. Beautiful, buttery, crisp croissant is stuffed with dark, rich morsels of the best French chocolate imaginable! Seriously, why they haven't used these to solve international conflicts I will never understand. A pain au chocolat and a steaming cup of fresh coffee is all you need for 20 minutes of complete bliss.

The cafe is lovely too so if you can find a spot, stay and savor and enjoy!…

Yummy!. The quiches, croissants and cookies were so perfectly flaky and buttery! Very decadent. I felt very rushed and was intimidated to even ask questions there! Kinda like the "soup nazi"! But it was so good I would go back every morning if I lived in Seattle.…

Mmmmm Pain Au Raisin..... I have lived in France and nothing comes close to French patisseries but, if you have to live in seattle you have to have Le Panier pain aur raisin....it's pretty good i tell you! I am there once a week for my fix....lol and a cup a cafe to reallly settle in for the day!!

love it…

Unsanitary. I used to visit this bakery about once every week or so. I would buy a loaf of bread and indulge in an almond croissant. However, recently when I went in, I saw one of the employees drop a loaf of bread on the floor, and then put it back on the shelf! I could not believe my eyes, but I figured this an isolated incident. However, when I told the employee ringing me up (this time I only bought a latte...you can't drop that on the floor!), the employee said that he couldn't say anything to the woman who dropped the bread, saying that she was a manager, and that putting the bread back was a policy. This is ridiculous! I expect my food to be clean before I buy it. I will no longer be a patron of Le Panier bakery.…
