The best thing that can happen in life is when you unexpectedly bumped into a French bakery and the food was SO good! I was immediately cheered up by the delicate and exquisite cakes offered by La Parisienne during a cold and cloudy day in Seattle. It is definitely not cheap ($9.75 for the Tarte au Chocolat) but I felt so worth it because it took so much skills and dedication to make such great desserts! Everyone working there were super friendly and actually some of them are French. We sat by the window and it was a very relaxing and tasty experience.

I absolutely love this French Bakery. I recently moved to downtown Seattle. La Parisienne is about a 13 minute walk from my place. My fiancé and I love their canneles and pain au chocolate. The coffee is 100/10. The service is quick. The ambiance can be a bit loud with the mix of how busy it gets, the music, the lovely owners speaking French. Given it is owned by French people. I've never been to France, but I've been to France in Seattle! I'm obsessed with this place.

Excellent butter croissant with a great chew to it. I love that you can taste the butter. The almond croissant was good but I've had better. Macarons have that crisp first bite and perfectly chewy texture but the flavors could be stronger. The latte was also excellent.The dine-in space is small but they have a few tables outside as well. There was a non-stop line of customers the entire time we were there.

Stopped in for some pastries for breakfast. We ordered a mini butter croissant, Pain au Chocolat Hazelnut, and Mille-Feuille Framboise. All of the pastries were amazing and we were so impressed by their flavour. The service was quick and polite. Would recommend!

SEATTLE'S BEST For Reals Every time I'm visiting the Emerald City, I reflect on how lucky I am that my bf lives so close to La Parisienne. I'm writing this review on a cloudy, almost sprinkling Saturday morning, and people are still lined up OUT THE DOOR for these delicious pastries. If local Seattleites are standing in line for food, you KNOW it is legit DIVINE! Merci beaucoup for filling our tummies, La Parisienne I have been a handful for times. The delicious pastries are always on point-- highly recommend the following (March 2024): -My FAVE Raspberry Croissant (any croissant really) -Flan -French Onion Soup (it's mid but solid) -Breakfast Deals (can't beat $6 Petit Dejeuner with buttered baguette, jam, and 6 oz coffee) Unfortunately either due to authenticity or whatever reason, I find the sandwiches hard to swallow (literally and figuratively). Ingredients are fresh/tasty and very Euro, but perhaps soft crispy American sandwiches have ruined my palate. French onion soup is a hearty bowl! Comes with two pieces of bread, very cheesy and onion. Best bang for your buck if you want some hot food. Their pastries are the Crown Jewels of Seattle, of Washington State, of America!!! Fluffy, flaky, perfectly crusty pastries each and every time. They sell so many, that it is guaranteed fresh. I've never had a bad pastry here. Variety is A1 here-- sweet, savory, fruity, chocolate, La Parisienne's got ya! Service is wonderful, always cheery and smiley albeit they can get busy. The chefs and bakers here are from France/classically trained so you're getting the real deal. Line is usually through the door, especially on mornings and weekends. Interior/ambiance, there are a lot of tables and chairs but it gets packed. It can get noisy, so a quiet first date isn't the best option here. Honestly, they deserve a bigger space! Parking is typical for downtown Seattle (AKA barely existent). It's a quick walk to other cool parts of downtown like the Space Needle and Pike Place, perfectly situated! Croissant of all croissants- perfection here

Some employees need better training. I was ignored at the register for a long time. Also, hidden charges for credit card transactions. 3.5% surcharge, why???Seating inside is very limited during lunch.

What is delightful place to get a petite breakfast on your way to work. I had a delicious buttery just right quiche with a tastey, generous cappuccino. Then I took a few pastries to go including a chocolate mousse cake that had just the right amount of sweetness. I will be back as much as I can manage.
The and yes i mean the best baguette in Seattle!!! The service is outstanding also! I was visiting Seattle and without searching found this place i feel so lucky!

On busy Friday mornings, the quaint shop is packed, radiating a friendly vibe with its amazing staff. However, while the coffee is alright, the pastries disappoint—they're overly sweet and lacking crunch.
