Alexander's Patisserie

All the dessert are very elegant and made with great details. They're almost too pretty to eat and great for taking pictures. They are expensive - $15 each, definitely not cheap and overpriced, IMO. Got a box of half a dozen macaroons and they are very good. Also order a lavender-flavor tea. Both the lavender and tea flavor is very weak, almost tastes like water. The decor is nice and seating is comfortable. It's a great place tables for people to hang out. Some tables are not cleaned though. Wish the staff would clean the tables more regularly.

This is one of the well-known patisseries in the Mountain View area, and I stopped by this morning to grab a quick breakfast. The place was already bustling — full of people eating, chatting, and enjoying the cozy, welcoming space. It looked like a great spot to sit and spend some time, but I was in a hurry, so I ordered takeout instead. They have an overwhelming selection of baked goods — truly paradise if you love pastries. There’s also a solid coffee menu, though I skipped coffee this time. I picked up a barbecue pork croissant, and it was honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten recently. The pastry was perfectly flaky and crunchy, and the filling was a finely prepared, mildly spiced barbecue pork — not too spicy, but incredibly flavorful and well-balanced. I also tried a pastry called Harmony, made with high-quality chocolate. The sweetness was very restrained, allowing the chocolate flavor to really shine, with a pleasant crunchy layer inside. It felt like a proper indulgence. While I was waiting for my order, one of the bakers even offered me a macaron to taste , a raspberry or strawberry flavor , and it was excellent as well. They have so many other baked items that I’ll definitely be back, either for a proper brunch or to take home more pastries. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and love good bakeries.

I'm a huge fan of Alexander's Steakhouse. It's hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to and eaten at. I've been going to Alexander's Patisserie for over a decade. Their desserts are very high-end and good. I haven't eaten any desserts from Alexander's Patisserie in years. After eating at Alexander's Steakhouse in Cupertino on Sunday, November 15, 2025, my wife and I decided to stop by Alexander's Patisserie and pick up some desserts. We ordered the bread pudding, pumpkin pie tart, apple pie tart and pecan pie tart. We were excited to try all 4 especially the 3 that were more geared towards the holidays. I'm sad to say that all of the desserts fell short! The best out of the 4 desserts we ordered was the bread pudding which was shocking to us! The bread pudding was basic and simple. The flavor was just okay. The pumpkin pie wasn't good at all and lacked the smooth velvety pumpkin flavor. The apple pie lacked the overall apple flavor and was the worst tasting of all 4 desserts. The pecan pie didn't taste like pecan pie at all. It flavor profile was way off. The texture or the 3 holiday focused desserts were way off as well. We were really disappointed because we remember the desserts at Alexander's Patisserie being top notch and tasting so good but this time around, this was not the case. I ended up paying close to $50 for all 4 desserts which wasn't worth it in my opinion. I have no issues paying a lot of money for high quality food but these desserts were neither high quality nor did they taste good in my opinion. The biggest issue was the fact that they nailed the presentation of the desserts but all of the desserts were underwhelming and didn't taste good enough for the price and for the calories. I don't recommend going to Alexander's Patisserie and I honestly don't see myself going back or giving the establishment a second chance. 😒

Best pastry shop in the Mountain View area, pleasant ambiance with quick servicing. desserts are delicious and freshly baked. Must try coffee and tiramisu pastry

Alexander's Patisserie: The Only Cake Shop That Matters (A Millennial Confession) Listen up, Bay Area dessert hunters. Stop scrolling, because I've found the promised land, and it's right in Downtown Mountain View. I've been on an intense, multi-week birthday cake tasting journey, and the results are in: Alexander's Patisserie is the main character of the pastry scene. Seriously, choosing a flavor here is a legitimate, first-world problem because every single cake is uniquely mind-blowing. I'm talking about a level of finesse and flavor balance that just doesn't exist elsewhere. I've done the homework--I've tried the highly-rated spots across South Bay, East Bay, the Peninsula, and even trekked into SF. Yet, every time, I found myself pulled back to Alexander's like a moth to a delicious, perfectly baked flame. My biggest revelation? The Harmony cake. I am not a chocolate person (I skip the ooey-gooey desserts, thanks), but this cake has officially put me in a chokehold. The mouthwatering yumminess they've created is absolutely unreplicated by any other bakery, especially thanks to that incredible extra crunch that delivers a textured "oomph"--it's pure genius. If this cake is wrong, I don't want to be right. It is a masterpiece. It's not just the cakes, though. The entire patisserie selection is slaying: * Pastries: Their croissants are buttery, flaky, and know what they are doing. Perfect mid-week treat fuel. * The Honey-Lavender Latte: This is pure liquid self-care. It's delicious, aromatic, and the perfect accessory while you contemplate which cake will change your life next. The Verdict? If you're looking for a dessert that's an actual indulgence, or a special occasion centerpiece that will make every guest swoon, make the drive. Even if you're not a local, trust me, the pilgrimage to Mountain View is 100% worth the gas money and the traffic. This place is a non-negotiable must-try. Go. Now.

Lovely place to get pastries and crossaints on castro street. Tried their pistachio and matcha crossaints. Now i like the taste of matcha so i loved the matcha crossaint, but i can understand its not for everyone. They fill the crossaint with matcha cream to order, so the crossaint remains flaky. Also loved their holiday themed pastries. Will definitely come back for more

Very fancy patisserie. We tried Maison Alyzee across the street before, nd now we came to try out their direct competitor. I would say both have their own strengths. The pastries here are also so good. They were not only eye candy but also very delicious 🤤 we ordered Eclairs and Tiramisu! Both were really tasty. They also offer single purchase or in boxes for the chocolate. I got one for my son, but he was so quick in eating it that I couldn’t take a picture 🥴
