Fun fact: Alyzée" is the name of the owner's daughter. It boasts marble counters, bistro-style tables, and outdoor seating on Castro Street to mimic the South of France. The owner recruited pastry chefs who relocated from France specifically for this endeavor. They also have monthly flavor, for example for May 2026: "Strawberry Bliss" cake. I totally recommend: mixed berry tart, coffee eclairs. The cakes and pastries are on the higher end price, perfect to surprise someone's birthday or special occasion or even to brighten your day with high quality artisan bakeries goods.

Ordered: Hojicha Einspanner (go to), Espresso Tonic (go to), Seasonal Drinks, Pour Over Covour is one of our favorite coffee shops and we always come during the weekends! Highly recommend going early because the parking fills up fast, therefore, the seating in the coffee shop fills up fast as well. Our go-tos are usually an Iced Hojicha Einspanner and a pour over, Iced Americano, or an Espresso Tonic. We've tried their matcha as well, which is also solid! Every single time we have gone (which is usually when they open), there is already a line forming outside the door. Depending on how busy it is, we have waited between 12-18 minutes for our drinks (on the high end), but the drinks are always so yummy! They also have an amazing selection of pastries including an everything croissant, cookies, mochi, pistachio raspberry croissant, spinach and feta croissant, and a mushroom croissant to name a few! Their Hojicha Einspanner is sooo good. The Einspanner is so creamy and their Hojicha is the perfect, balanced amount of nutty flavors. Whenever I have ordered this drink, people are always eyeing to see what it is because the presentation is also that good! The Espresso Tonic is also a perfect summer drink and the shot was pulled perfectly. If you want to get some work done here, I'd highly recommend coming early so you can grab a table and to also bring your headphones because it does get busy and loud. They also have WiFi and one single bathroom. Thanks Covour Coffee!

Extremely. Underwhelming…read more Tried four drinks and a pastry. Cold brew is sour. Chalky matcha (psss, spend more as people can taste it). Diluted lattes. The coffee bean choice is in question here. Seems to be the root of all the bad drinks. Well the toppings are sub par as well. The everything croissant with cream cheese saved this from a ZERO star. The people who go here are not real coffee connoisseurs. Careful with the reviews. For the connoisseurs - the drinks are not refined. It's slapped together. It doesn't have the layering connoisseurs seek. Iykyk. I had so much hope, I mean, how bad can a coffee shop be if it's in a coffee town. The decor and vibe is nice, however.

Beautiful pastries + a great weekend brunch spot!…read more Parking is easy with free street parking or designated public parking nearby. Service was fast and efficient. Prices are definitely on the premium side. I recommend coming around 8-10 AM while the pastry selection is still fully stocked. I love Alexander's for its colorful, hand-decorated truffle collection with 25 flavors, ranging from classics like fleur de sel caramel to more unusual combinations like honey fennel pollen and hemp seed with almond praline. I especially like the Mountain View location because it has a more comprehensive menu, including weekend brunch and chef-driven specials. It's also open late on Fridays and Saturdays until 11 PM. The Cupertino location has a more limited selection and doesn't offer brunch. Recommended: pistachios and birthday cake macarons, plus the lemon yuzu and fleur de pistache small cakes. Everything was beautiful and delicious!

It was served slightly warm and smelled like a rich, comforting chowder. The filling was on the lighter side with more pastry than potato/onion.

The danish pastry is softer than the turnover- super fluffy and tender. The pineapple and coconut were so fragrant and flavorful without being overly sweet too.

I'll admit I was not wowed by it, but I do appreciate that it's local and uses high-quality and healthier ingredients. The one thing I absolutely loved was the pastry I bought. It was some type of muffin or pastry. (Someone mentioned it is called their breakfast bar? ) and the center had a dollop of raspberry tart jam. The bottom was infused with some chocolate. My picture doesn't look the best, but trust me it was super yummy.

Could hear them chopping the veggies in the back (can't get fresher than that). To top it off, the filter coffee was also big and only $1.99! Great clean atmosphere & professional service. Highly recommend.

Iced Latte - solid cup, with an option of milk alternatives and syrups. Price is typical for the Bay Area, $6-7 a drink. Not too crowded the morning I was here so service was quick and seamless. My drink was well made and tasted great. Wish they had more food offerings, since The Emerald Hour and Broma hours aren't open until later in the day. Lots of bright seating in the the main ordering area, but more seating in the lobby that's perfect hanging out or working.

Overall solid fresh food (pricey but I guess normal for the area), knocked off a star for coffee being very average and service being less enthusiastic or friendly than I expected. AMBIANCE We came down for breakfast in the early morning to grab a quick hot breakfast and coffee and it was easy enough to get to and solid hours for the working folks. Fairly quiet spot and just the usual buzz of folks taking calls or having chit chat with coffee. It's right inside the Shashi Hotel and has a clean minimalist feel. There's indoor seating (about 3-4 tables) within the cafe but most folks just found a spot within the hotel dining area with more booths and long tables for coworking, and tables by the fireside, or outside by the pool. It's pretty comfortable spot to work in though some of the floor charging ports were often a trip hazard! SERVICE You order at the counter...(and can't say the folks taking the order didn't seem particularly enthusiastic working there but otherwise we got what we ordered and all substitution requests were honored), take a numbered placard, and sit down wherever you want. We dined in but you can obviously get to-go. In 10-15 minutes or so, the staff bring your food out to the table, which is pretty efficient and keeps things casual. Food was prepared quickly, arrived hot and well-presented, and they bring you silverware -- which is ideal if you're trying to grab breakfast before meetings or a flight! The overall atmosphere is calm and polished "urban resort lobby café" than crowded street coffee shop, which fits well if you're staying at the hotel or meeting colleagues nearby. FOOD The breakfast menu leans toward elevated kind of price-y but limited. There's only 4 main breakfast items (if you're not a pastry person in the morning). As an aside, the pastries in the case also didn't look super fresh. While limited in menu, everything we tried tasted fresh and was pretty solid -- a bit pricey but hey for the speed and fresh, healthy feel it was fine. The avocado toast came on hearty sourdough with scrambled eggs and bright toppings (loved the edamame in the salad), making it feel more like a full meal. The pork sausage breakfast bowl was solid too with scrambled eggs, potatoes, spinach, cheddar, avocado, salsa, and a touch of habanero heat that made it comforting but still interesting. The fruit and yogurt bowl balanced things out nicely with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, and honey, so you can go lighter if you don't want something heavy first thing in the morning! Would recommend this or the avocado toast if you're looking for something lighter but want to get the greens in.
