Best French bakery I've found!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

10/26/2006 Posted by alienlovechild

Le Panier reminds me of the French bakeries in Old Town Geneva. The croissants are etherially light, buttery, and flaky. The palmiers are buttery and slightly soft on the inside while really crispy on the outside...I'd love to know how get a cookie to do that! Try the napoleon with luscious French pastry creme between the layers of pastry. A breakfast fave was the croissant filled with ham and gruyere...delish!!! As a previous reviewer mentioned, the lattes are smooth and luscious. Also, try the hazelnut and chocolate chip cookies...and the pistachio macaroons! You won't be able to pass by the buttery and wonderful smell on the corner as you walk by.

Pros: Great food, great breads, value

Cons: Parking at Pike Place

Insider Tips

Parking

The most consistent bet is taking advantage of the Pike Place Market garage, which offers an hour of free parking for market patrons; arrive before 9:30am and park all day for $5.
