Seattle: Le Panier Very French Bakery

So I went to Seattle during the Memorial Weekend with a few friends (Diana, Connie & Mikol) since it was the long weekend, and it's a city that a few of us had wanted to visit. Right after we left from LAX at 6am and arrived in Seattle, we headed straight for Pike Place Market (more on that later) to explore, and being as touristy as we can haha.

Since we didn't really eat breakfast we decided to search for a spot around Pike Place for breakfast as soon as we got there we saw how packed Le Panier was so we went in.

Le Panier Very French Bakery is essentially an European-style bakery and is an extremely popular breakfast spot with over 300 reviews on Yelp with a really really good rating. They have everything from bread, pastries, cookies, pies, and even sandwiches, but most people seem to like their croissants, which is what we got :]

1902 Pike Pl.

Seattle, WA 98101

Lots of people in front of the bakery.

The moment you walk in, this amazing aroma you would expect from a bakery just hits you. Pretty small location.

Some of their cookies.

Spreads, pastries, and pies.

Glass full of baked goods.

Chocolatine, chocolate croissant with almond cream. It is without a doubt the best croissant I've had. That almond cream makes all the difference.

Good touch with the sliced almonds and powdered sugar. Blows any other croissants away.

Flaky, creamy, buttery, chocolaty. Perfect.

Croissant à la framboise. Croissant filled with raspberry jam. Sweet & tart at the same time.

Both croissants were absolutely delicious and they definitely would go well with a cup of coffee. Seriously one of the best stop in Seattle. I'm glad this was our first stop since it definitely kicked off the trip in the right direction! I seriously wish I can have a chocolatine for breakfast every morning, rather than some pain au chocolate from a major coffee chain hahah.
