Le Panier, created by Hubert Loevenbruck and a group of French bakers, opened its’ doors in 1983. Pike Place Market was the perfect location to share the authentic style of a classic boulangerie and patisserie with the people of Seattle. Along with these artisan bakers, he brought French equipment and technology to help in the daily bread-making process.The aroma of fresh-baked bread has delighted our neighborhood and the many passers-by for over 25 years. We invite you to step in and enjoy a taste of France with us.
