Opened June, 1983 Le Panier (translated "bread basket") was created by a Frenchman living in the U.S. who missed his daily baguette and croissant. He brought in French bakers and began baking... reflecting what you would find in a local boulangerie (bakery) and patisserie (pastry shop) in France.

Le Panier immediately became a popular destination for visitors to Pike Place Market, as well as our friends in Seattle. Located at the corner of Stewart Street & Pike Place, in the heart of the market, we celebrate twenty-plus years of serving you. We have worked hard to develop Le Panier into what it is today: a genuine taste of France.

The success of Le Panier is its consistent product quality - fresh ingredients, no preservatives, baked every day on site - always keeping in mind the traditional breads and pastries of France.
