Le Fournil is a quaint, unassuming French bakery where one can stop on the way to work or campus. I've been passing this place for about a year and finally managed to go. The first time I stopped was for a quiche; while good, I expected it to be less than $9. The second time I went in, I ordered a croissant and was pleasantly surprised by the flakiness and texture of the bread. I also noticed fresh baguettes! While I was impressed with the quality of the bread, customer service left a little to be desired. Unlike their coffee, I found the staff to be unwelcoming and, dare I say, pressed. Despite the minute shortcoming of price and "meh" customer service, I enjoyed the quality of the offerings and look forward to returning.
I visit here for buying almond croissant, but I was failed because I was late. At 1:00pm there were no almond croissant. I will visit again in the morning soon.
Taste is full of butter and sugar flavor, similar to the real french bakery in France. Chocolate chou has full of custard creme inside, and it tastes milky and soft. I love this flavor, and I guess they are using good dairy product for ingredient. I bought choco chou, apple and cheese bread. Every breads are having great quality compared to the what I expected.
We take great pleasure in visiting this establishment for a delightful cycling break, where we can indulge in a delectable latte and savory pastry. While it does close at 3 pm, the staff's kindness shines through when they still serve us even if we arrive at 2:45 pm. This exceptional service demonstrates their commitment to going above and beyond. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, allowing us to enjoy our treats in a cozy atmosphere. While the prices may be slightly higher, the taste of everything they offer is simply exquisite.
Along with Le Panier and Nuflours Bakery, this is one of my three favorite bakeries in Seattle. I recommend getting their lunch deal, which gives you a sandwich, pastry and drink for an affordable price.
You should try whatever appeals to you. Since everything we tried was amazing on both occasions we visited, I can’t recommend one thing over another.
I will say though that the peach tea was unexpectedly wonderful, so if you’re in the mood to try something other than coffee, try that!
Staff is awesome food is great! By the way, there is a parking garage next to the flower shop! ❤️
This is by far the most amazing bakery that I've ever been to. I lived right above this place for 4 months and went almost daily, every pastry and every sandwich was perfect. They have handled pandemic requirements very well to keep everyone safe. I would eat here every day if I could.
Popular bakery for a reason. Pastries were great. My iced mocha was good. The ladies behind the counter were really friendly in spite of my lack of sleep and disoriented & disgruntled presentation. The pastry and coffee combo is a perfect morning snack. The universe smiles on y’all.
I had the pate sandwich which I recommend if you want something very French and flavorful. I also had the raspberry mille feuille which is incredible and a must try. Second visit: salmon salad sandwich with Americano and strawberry pistachio tart lunch special. The salmon salad sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I've had many! 3rd visit: Turkey cranberry camembert with iced latte and rosemary pear tart. 6/24/23: Had the chicken salad sandwich and the mocha mille feuille, both excellent.
Delicious fresh bakery items. My personal favorite is the almond croissant with a latte. Quaint place to enjoy a warm drink and a treat.
Came from Florida to visit my brother. He brought us the most wonderful, exquisite pastries I can remember ever tasting and seeing. Delicious! I wish we had a bakery clime that near me. I’d never stop going!
First impression: I opened their door on a brisk gray morning to the scent of warm butter and fresh bread. The mocha I had was fairly good, featuring bitter accentuations rather than being overly sweet. The plain and chocolate croissants (only two among many choices of croissants) were among the best I've tried since moving to Seattle--light and somewhat supple with a slightly crispy exterior.
I came back a few weeks later when they were really busy and tried the lunch special--talk about a good deal: a mocha, egg sandwich, and strawberry tart for a little over $10. There's even a punch card to accompany it. The egg sandwich was plain, but the tart held its own. I'll definitely be back for lunch to try other combinations.
Delicious pastries, well made coffee, a real treat to be there. I went there on accident and it was the best surprise ever. Got some coffee and yummy eats, headed over to university bridge to watch some boats racing. Fantastic Sunday morning
Everything I tried at Le Fournil over the course of several days was amazing: a variety of tarts (the passion fruit was especially great!), raspberry croissants, mille feuilles, and croque Fournil sandwiches. I'm drooling just thinking about it! I live in the Washington DC area, but I'll definitely be going back to Le Fournil every chance I get!
Stopped in with a couple of my friends we’re all from out of town . The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I got the chicken salad sandwich. Best one I’ve had 11/10 . Can’t wait to try the Mille feuilles that I got as well
Pastries and coffee are fine. Service is a bit abrupt. Vehicle traffic on Eastlake Ave E can be heavy. On 7/31/2023 afternoon it was quite warm and the door to the street was propped open...I think their A/C was broken?
Get the breakfast special! What an amazing croissant sandwich. They also have amazing pastries. If you are looking for a quick breakfast spot, look no further! In and out in 10 min, with an amazing breakfast for cheap! Staff is always super nice! Pics included of street presence because it can be hard to spot from the street.
Amazing French bakery! Delicious sandwiches and pastries. We especially love the chocolate eclairs.
