Easily one of Seattle's best bakeries, especially for baguettes and croissants. Recent addition: deep-dish pizza. Grab a croissant or two. That alone will entice you back to this neighborhood again. Read more.
Indulge in savory pizza slices and sandwiches or sweet bakery treats for under $5. The twice-baked almond and chocolate croissants are worth the calories! Read more.
By 6AM on weekdays, dense baguettes, gooey brown-sugar pecan brioche, and heavenly croissants start issuing from the ovens of Essential Baking Company's former executive pastry chef William Leaman. Read more.
I love their croissants and everything in the pastry section but not a big fan of the cakes. One of the best bakeries in Seattle.
Great croissants, the almond one is just delicious. The staff is very kind and nice.
One of the best bakeries. You need to try the double roasted almond croissant- rivals Paris!
the croissants are amazing. i'm addicted to the ham and cheese, but the potato & bacon was yummy too and so filling!
Order a napoleon, a chocolate french macaroon, the pate sandwich and an americano, then eat it all in one sitting. Oh yes. And all of it rocked.
Pain au chocolat as good as in Paris, yum!
The croissants here are the best this side of Paris.
get here early to avoid the line. everything is amazing, but the ham and swiss pastry and croissant with homemade jam are personal favorites.
The croissants here are quite possibly the best in Seattle. But you can't go wrong with any of the pastries here.
Be sure to try their pistachio and/or their smoked paprika cheddar croissant, and pick up some French macarons too!
The Smoked Paprika and Cheddar Croissant is famous (and it's awesome) but don't miss the Pink Peppercorn Cookie either.
Although you can't really go wrong with anything here, the pistachio croissant is amazing!!
Melt-in-your-mouth macarons and deliciously delicate leek-gruyere quiche. The coffee's pretty good, too.
The macarons here are TO DIE FOR! You have to get them all :)
Everything here is to die for. For savory lovers, their ham & cheese croissant is heaven in a pastry. Quiches are pretty spectacular, too!
Their beignets (deep-fried doughnut triangles) with powdered sugar & anglaise (coffee cream sauce) is a MUST!
DEFINITELY get the barbecue New Orleans shrimp and the corn grits were so good! Also crawfish beignets and okra!! YUM
Happy hour is where it's at! Get the crawfish beignets, buttermilk fried chicken bites and creamy corn grits!
Authentic French pastries by a husband and wife French duo. A little pocket of Paris.
I'm in love with this French bakery ❤️
Deliciously fresh croissants à la Parisienne !
You can't go wrong with the BLT&G along side a Chocolat Almond Croissant! Worth the calories for sure
Anything here made from croissant or brioche batter is a must.
Really great croissants and breakfast pastries.
Any of the lye rolls and the savory croissant
Fantastic bakery! Chocolate croissants are a must, and the bread is equally delish. 😍
Amazing croissants. I particularly love their ever changing selection of savory croissants
Seasonal squash scone had spot-on texture. Jam and ricotta that accompany the made-to-order beignets may be better than the beignets themselves.. Can't wait to try breakfast sandwiches & coco pie!
Delicious bakery! Probably the best chocolate croissant I've ever had. Perfectly buttery, flaky and with a light sprinkle of salt.
Lemon poppy seed cookie is out of this world! All the cream pies are worth a try! Chocolate eclair FTW!
Ham & gruyere croissant is the bomb.
Try anything, it's all good. But I really love the pain au chocolat, pistachio snails, and the tortas
Gougère & a tall drip coffee or a double-short Americano = excellent commuter breakfast while walking to the light rail station
One of my favorite bakeries! All of desserts are great. Get blueberry/strawberry tarts and they have a blackberry one now! They pastries and croissants are phenomenal. Lastly, try shrimp curry sand!
Breakfast special : americano or latte, one croissant! $3.99
Food is great but no sense of urgency. Minimum of 15 min if there is any kind of line. Can't beat the Le Crouque Fournil special though... $4.99 for an egg, ham, swiss on croissant plus any 12oz drink
New bakery offers a very nice selection of Japanese, French and Italian pastries. Stop in for an espresso and a pear Danish, red bean cake or brioche chocolat.
The brioche saumon is interesting! Salmon and herbs baked in is delish!
Love the Fraise and almond croissant! They are delicious!
Best almond croissant ever!
The ham and cheese croissant is pretty amazing.
Cinnamon brioche!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
