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.

Really lovely French style patisserie with a variety of flavors and textures of pastries and cakes!…read more One of my go to's for higher end cakes during special occasions :D Owners and chefs and staff are all very sweet and accommodating and you can tell they genuinely love their craft and sharing it with the community! They have rotating seasonal items and also accept ordering larger cakes through online orders or by calling in! Their 100% pistachio cake is amazing - not too sweet and the pistachio flavor really comes through but doesn't overpower. Very creamy texture that isn't too heavy and has a fun, crunchy outer shell. The matcha raspberry is also nice and balanced - matcha flavor complements well with the raspberry gel / jam inside and is mellowed out by the cream. Inside is very chic and great place to chat and catch up over a cup of coffee and even get some work done - water station and wifi is inside.

I've worked my way through both the permanent and seasonal menus, and I genuinely can't think of a bad drink I've had. The Einspänner on any drink is unmatched, but honestly, every drink has been so good that picking a favorite feels impossible. The pastries are just as impressive! Always fresh, scrumptious, and worth every calorie. I remember when you could walk right in without much of a wait, but influencers have definitely done their job putting special places like this on the map. My only real complaints? The weekend lines and the fact that a coffee shop opens at 8 a.m. Let me get my caffeine fix earlier! Still, this is an easy 5/5. The drinks and pastries are on another level, and the hype is completely deserved.

This location of Alexander's Patisserie is located in downtown Mountain View. Parking is a bit hit…read moreor miss here, you can try your luck with street parking or park in the nearby parking garage. Exterior and interior is modern and sleek, which is nice. I originally came here specifically for their Matcha Croissant, but I noticed the Matcha Flat Croissant on their menu, so I ordered both to try. Their Matcha Croissant was decent, but I felt like it did not taste as fresh and the matcha ganache inside was good, just a bit on the bitter side and there was a bit too much of it that it was overpowering. Their Matcha Flat Croissant tasted dry and stale, and the matcha chocolate it was dipped in tasted more like chocolate than matcha. Overall, it was good to try one time, but I do not think I would be back for these items.

Very good!…read more Service, display, taste. The price is a little high, but I'll be back!

3 stars overall. This has been our go-to bakery for at least the last 7 years, their cakes are our…read morefavorite (we have had all sorts of cakes, their red velvet, mango, tea cake, anniversary cake, etc etc), and those were a solid 5 stars, and are always consistent. but recently they have changed and are much sweeter especially their red velvet cake - its way too sweet - so deducted one star. I wonder if the rest of the cakes have gotten super sweet too? We loved this place due to balanced desserts - deducted one star due to the sweet cake I also deducted another star based on my experience with their croissants. The plain croissant is surprisingly sweet, seemingly due to a sugar glaze or syrup on top (see images) and it tasted old but a plain croissant should be buttery, flaky, and crispy, not coated in something sugary and it wasn't crispy at all. The thing is, a well-made plain croissant should have a natural amber sheen just from the egg wash, and there is no need for sugary syrup, but their croissants have a clear thick glaze that is pooled and caramelized on top, so it felt like eating a sweet bread. I had high hopes given how consistently great their cakes have been, so hopefully it's something they revisit and do better on. Their service history has been great, but as the years have gone by, it's not as friendly or inviting as it used to be (the place has gotten popular over the years, so we have noticed a few things are sliding downhill, so I am curious how this place will be over the next few years). The interior is small (no seating inside, but they do have a few tables outside), we have always taken it to go from here. I am hoping the rest of the cakes aren't sweet, we will try them and will update the review again

The location was the farmer's market in palo alto. Everything, and i mean everything was old. We trust them so we only found out in the car the bread was at least a day old, the pastries were old. We went at 9am, there is simply no excuse. We had to do a detour through Manresa to save our brunch and had to buy everything again.

The staff were friendly, and the store is pristine and cozy. There is street parking in front and ample parking lots in short walking distance of State St. I'm more of a savory person so I thoroughly enjoyed the giant slice of Potato Leek & Truffle Gouda Quiche and coffee to go. There are a lot of sweet options too and I love the variety and ingredients they use in them. Just keep in mind that they don't warm up the food items here (and I recommend eating the quiche warm)! This is a perfect spot to grab a quick drink and bite to enjoy outside or at your next destination. I love that everything is fresh and when they run out, they run out!

The Los Altos location doesn't have indoor seating so we would sit right outside and enjoy the hot coffee on a cold day, it's a very relax and enjoyable experience in downtown Los Altos, I highly recommend it!
