Le Fournil

Small and truly French, this cafe/bakery serves great crossaints (morning), soups, salads and sandwiches (lunch) and delicious deserts. The espresso is among the best in Seattle.
The service is good, but slow at times.
The only bad thing about the cafe/bakery is its location: all you see is the the busy Eastlake Ave and the ugly Alaskan Way Viaduct.

This bakery is by far the best around. Their pastries and sandwiches are 'incroyable'! Les milles feuilles are full of flavor and the perfect texture. The croissants are also marvelous, especially with a great espresso decorated with wonderful latt art. It's as true to french as you can find in Seattle. They use original french names for pastries and the ambiance is great. Small, quiet and personal is the way a french bakery should be. Simply put, a french ptisserie dropped from the sky into Seattle.

my hairdresser told me I had to try this place. oh my god amazing the perfect finish to a great afternoon. great coffee and the deserts well they all look fabulous but the eclaire was to die for.

I have finally found a place in Seattle that sells fantastic americanos, not to mention, their pastries are superb! They are fresh and I have not had such authentic pastries since my trips to France! Thank you Le Fournil!

Le Fournil has the most wonderful lunch menu. We love stopping by on the weekends to pick up a sandwich, fruit tart and mocha to share. Highly recommended.
