Crema's Take
“This 30-year-old French patisserie is an Eastlake institution precisely because it nails the fundamentals—croissants, mille-feuilles, and quiches that justify the hype, plus a warm neighborhood vibe that keeps people coming back. Whether you're grabbing a quick pastry and coffee before crossing the University Bridge or settling in for a slower sit with a pumpkin chai, the execution is consistently excellent and the service genuinely hospitable. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a solo coffee break, a catering order for your office, or meeting a friend.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →We ordered from Le Fournil for an office team training and it was fabulous! Everything was delivered perfectly on-time and the food (red box lunches) was delicious. We will definitely be ordering from them again.
WOW! Food is exceptional!!!! Very warm atmosphere, excellent customer service, and absolutely delicious food, pasties, and drinks! Highly recommend! We keep returning here! As a huge bonus there’s a secure parking garage that’s FREE which is a rare to find amenity here! Thank…
Le Fournil is an Eastlake institution as it has been open for nearly 30 years. The bakery cafe is near the University Bridge which is close to the University of Washington campus. On offer here is a good selection of French pastries, desserts, quiche, salads, sandwiches and…
Food was simple and amazing. I highly recommend the quiche and both mille feuilles. The tarts are also amazing, especially the lemon one. Since they forgot to apply the student discount, they offered me 3 cookies free of charge. Definitely will head back again!!
This might be my new favorite Patisserie 😊🥐 I enjoyed a pumpkin chai and a ham and cheese croissant. It was the perfect snack for a quick walk across the University Bridge. I definitely plan to come back and try some of the other pastries.
