A little piece of France right in the middle of Pike Place! Baked goods and pastries are phenomanal. Try the sandwiches on fresh backed baguette with delicious choices like Pate or Brie cheese. If you like coffee - this is the BEST! The espresso drinks are by far the best I've had anywhere ever. Try a cafe au lait. It's tres magnifique! A little bit busy on weekends, it's a small little place, so you might have to wade through the crowd a little. PROS: Quality CONS: crowded

Yes, this place is a definite must try. I have never found it too busy, at least it is worth any wait. You can get out cheap too - stop in for a break from the Market tourist crowds!

Le Panier is a French-style bakery in Seattle where you can get some very good bread. They have some specialties like 'pain aux noix' which is bread with walnuts in it, and multi-grain French bread, etc. They bake their breads every day, so you can always get fresh bread, too. The location is right downtown.

I loved their pastries and coffee. The stuff was very nice. The best part was that there was enough room to park my double stroller in the store!!! I would go back again for sure.

Everytime I'm at Pike Place either by myself enjoying the market or with friends who are out of town, i must stop by this bakery and pick up a pastry and cup of coffee. The perfect way to stop in the midst of a busy day, sit, relax, enjoy good eats & treats and then be on my way again. The experience is even better if you bring a friend to share with :)

Beautiful latte art and very smooth coffee. The aroma in the store is great. I didn't try the pastries this time, but I will definitely go back.

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.
