Pike Place Market

Petit Panier @ Le Panier

Le Panier does not necessarily make the best croissant in the city, but its pastry craft is excellent and far broader than a single item. The best way to sample the widest variety from this très français bakery is to order the petit panier — little basket — of assorted pastries and rolls. A nibble of this and a nosh of that will satisfy your nose’s curiosity about what exactly it is that smells so good here. (The answer? All of it.)
