Panterelli

Visited this patisserie and loved the cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and we got to see the treats being freshly made. The owner even gave us a peek into the process. Tried choux pastries in white chocolate passionfruit, classic hazelnut, and pistachio, along with a chocolate mocha eclair. Personal favorite: white chocolate passionfruit, followed by pistachio. The cream fillings oozing out made them deliciously decadent.

I was thankful that I-5S and 99N were straightforward to/from Shoreline, because I made yet another attempt to check out Panterelli in West Seattle (7/8/23, 8/4/23) after first reading about this indie business in late June. I also had good luck finding nearby street parking in the Junction.I purchased one of each of the three choux items featured in the pastry case on Friday morning, see my attached Yelp photos of whole choux and later halved. Note: the pastry case does not have signage or prices placed with each product. I was charged a flat $17.85 plus tip - this was just under $21. Each item was nicely packaged in Barbie-pink containers with a clear lid and placed carefully in a bag. I was reminded to make sure to refrigerate these choux if not consumed immediately. Duly noted for filled pastries on a summer morning.I would have inquired further about ingredient details and prices. However, there was another individual ahead of me. Plus while in line, I was detecting a strong distinct scent of chocolate. Sure enough, while packaging my items, the presumed owner had to pause and remove a pan of melting chocolate off the burner. Not seeing another pastry assistant in the production area, this was a one man business this morning. It is wasteful to burn chocolate, especially when on direct heat and not melting via a bain marie. So I did not want to further distract the owner with random questions. Plus in my case, the intended choux aficionado does not have a nut, gluten, or lactose allergy. Just take the above into consideration if you or others may have allergies or sensitivities.I would have had an Illy coffee onsite, per the first Yelp review mentioning "Perfect espresso". But the limited indoor seating was all a jumble - chairs all askew among the few tables. Again, that would have been another pause for the owner. I decided to have an espresso elsewhere instead.This bakeshop's niche is focusing on choux pastries, familiar as éclairs or cream puffs. The light airy eggy pastry is filled and dipped with tasty ingredients. I appreciated the pastry cream, but did not really pick up the pistachio flavor profile. The pastry shells were thin so contents were generous, but led to the shells not remaining crisp and a bit soggy. It is telling that the other halves have not been immediately consumed by The Homie. This and other observations resulted in an overall 3 Yelp review. Instagram posts showed another pastry assistant in training. Glad to see that another indie is fairly successful from the get go with early shop closure due to product being completely sold out. Hopefully Panterelli will get their par numbers increased to allow for consistency and variety. West Seattle loves their dessert choices with nearby A la Mode Pies, Cupcake Royale, Flying Apron, and Bakery Nouveau...and now with the addition of Panterelli.

Wow! Their pastries are out of this world as is their coffee! There were two guys working and it was a busy Saturday morning, so by the time we got there it was pretty much sold out, but we waited and they were able to fill our order in no time! Very friendly Australian helper and French or Italian owner. Small shop with outdoor tables and maybe a couple indoor tables.

A lovely addition to the Junction! The owner is awesome and the pastries are amazing. I only docked a star because, understandably, he is a one man show and it took a really long time to get our pastries that we ordered as we dined in (a little over an hour and we ordered two eclairs). That being said, the coffee was really good and it reminded me of my experiences in a European coffee bar. Happy to return back to this place and give him my business!

i'll admit that this is the first of jacques neward's businesses i've been to. pizzeria credo and the now closed naked crepe were always places i walked by but didn't find occasion to go in and try. but today was the day to try out his newest venture and it's a little place that packs a punch! ....that's how i'll always think of panterelli after my maiden voyage this afternoon.some lovely surprises:*the choux flavors on offer today were both equally divine: pistachio and vanilla.*the amount of customers coming in and out was steady so he's clearly got himself a sweet-toothed following.*the owner is welcoming, attentive and accommodating to the desires of his clients.i'm going to keep this place in mind for small gifts for foodie friends and also make an effort to get here far earlier because they were almost entirely out when we arrived just before 2pmit's a dangerous place to know about but also somewhere that couldn't succeed more in evoking european pastry flavor and quality. they were FABULOUS! one per person is more than plenty but twist my arm and i'd probably find an excuse to eat more.

I have never had an eclair before- but let me tell you that this is the best sweet treat I've had! This is the type of place that you want to support- the service is amazing the owners are incredibly kind and the eclair/puffs are amazing

I had the pleasure of visiting Panterelli, a charming pastry and coffee shop in West Seattle, and it truly surpassed all my expectations. First off, the coffee was fantastic, brewed to perfection, and a great start to my visit. But the real stars of the show were the incredible pastries, especially their innovative "Croichoux," a genius blend of a croissant and choux pastry.I indulged in two variations of the Croichoux. One was adorned with a rich, velvety hazelnut cream that was absolutely divine. The other, which was even more exquisite, featured a blend of pistachio and raspberry cream, offering a burst of flavors that was both refreshing and indulgent. The texture and mouth-feel of these pastries were second to none--flaky, yet soft and utterly delectable, making each bite a delightful experience.Panterelli is a neighborhood gem that I can't recommend enough. These are, without a doubt, some of the best pastries you'll find not only in West Seattle but anywhere. Do yourself a favor and visit soon; your taste buds will thank you!

I am so glad to have this wonderful treasure in West Seattle. Panterelli is absolutely amazing.Jacques (the owner), and his employees, are always so kind, friendly and personable. They are always a pleasure to see. The service is wonderful. I also love the Parisian and authentic French atmosphere of the shop.The desserts are excellent. Jacques makes wonderful authentic Choux à la Crème (French Cream Puffs). They have just the right amount of cream on the inside and just the right amount of chocolate on the outside. I especially love the hazelnut flavor.I definitely recommend this authentic French dessert and coffee shop. If you are from outside of West Seattle, it is totally worth the drive to come and try these delicious desserts!

I love coming here often for my regular fill up of espresso and a delicious pastry! Regardless if I'm just stopping in for something quick on the go or to stay and work for a while this is my go to spot! The service is excellent with the owner always assuring that things are not just good but always great. The vibes are super chill and I feel like I have taken a little trip to Europe each time I stop in. Will suggest this place over and over, hope you get a chance to check it out yourself! :D

Everything about this place is beautiful. The service was exquisite and they make you feel welcome and comfortable. Was very satisfied with the coffee and pastries. I got a lavender cappuccino and it was so delicious. They know how to make coffee. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. I'm happy to say I found my new spot. I can't rave about this place enough! Very glad I came and can't wait to come back next Sunday!
