Writers say the best bakery bread you'll find in Washington state is at...
Here's why they picked this longtime bakery:
"Many visitors say French bakery Le Panier, in Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market, is the best they’ve ever been to. It has been here since 1983, selling baguettes, miche (a large, round loaf) and sandwiches worth travelling for. The bakery is helmed by a baker and pastry chef from Normandy, and everything is handmade to traditional French recipes and using classic techniques. Don’t miss the incredible croissants and sweet treats like brioche framboise, filled with raspberry jam."
You can find Le Panier at 1902 Pike Place in Seattle.
