Although a bit pricy and pretentious , everything here is absolutely phenomenal. Hands down, Alexander's makes the best ham and cheese croissant I have ever had. Every bite elicits an exclamation.

Janette JC

Delicious sandwiches n chocolates . Although the waiter gave me the wrong sandwich , but it was tasty. Nice hangout place.

Jennifer Evans

Lovely dessert selection: macaroons , tarts , pain au chocolat . Yum, yum, yum. Coffee portions if you dine in are huge. Love the elegant design too.

Frances

Wide variety of tarts , all were delicious. My favorite one was the orange choco ganache dome with the crispy choco covered dots around the side

Nadyne Richmond

You can’t go wrong with any of the pastries . My favorites are the lemon tart , monkey bread , and macarons . Service is slow, be prepared for a wait.

Enia Titova

How does this place have a lower rating than La Panotiq ? This is the real deal, and La Panotiq is a cheap imitation that can't even bake a decent loaf of bread . Highly recommend for everything.

Michael Mevorach

Amazing desserts and great service! Tried the vanilla tart and the religieuse. just like pierre herme in Paris.

Michael Tchou

The macaroons were amazing, very flavorful. I recommend the jasmine and lemon . Vanilla tart was also excellent!

Paul Mederos

The chocolate truffles are fantastic! Best truffles in the area since Monique (in Palo Alto) left for France.

Trish Peach

I love Alexander's for its fancy furniture and delicious treats - the lemon tart is my favorite and an excellent selection of teas .

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Try London Fog - it is simply the bast

Jeena James

Time for a Kouign amann , macarons and my fav, caneles!

Adrienne L

Very good macarons and canalés. Go early if you want a kouign amann !

Dawn Jacob

Their baguettes are perfect: crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and ever so slightly sour.

From the good people who brought you Alexander's Steakhouse , the other Alexander's Steakhouse , and The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse .

Hot chocolate is not as rich as the one from La Panotiq , which is a block away from Alexander's Patisserie.

While I was trying to find the second half of ganache that is supposed to be in a macaron I found a grainy top with peaks 🙄

Ashwin Kumar

Fancy place for a date! Loved the pastries .

ciaoasia

Best banana nut muffin with a bit of banana creme in the middle 🤤

Rani Queen

Matcha roulade is to die for!

Ben Lee

Show up early and pick up a fresh croissant or kouign-amann and a latte

Chris McSorley

The maple bacon roll is excellent!

Tarik Oz

Very nice place for meetings. Their earl grey tea was great.

Michael Geer

The croissants are great, the espresso mediocre and the anti-customer policies that obviously come from the owner (the staff are nice) are strong. I'll no longer come. Shame. Go to Red Rock or Dana.

Tobias Schmidt

Sophisticated, tasty pastries . Prices to match.

Sarah S

Get here early. They run out of their best stuff by noon!

Artem Nedoshepa

It used to be a nice place to enjoy some over-priced desert but the quality went down. We got a stale chocolate tart that was so bad that 2 people couldn't finish it, resulting in some stomachache.

Matt Mayo

They have some nice breakfast options however expect to have carbs!

John Togasaki

Check in with Yelp for a free coffee with purchase.

This place gets crowded . They could really do a better job at customer service in paying attention to details by heating food items properly

Mingfei Yan

Beautiful dessert !

Macaroons for days!

Bhushan Shah

Liquor chocolates

Paulina

Service is slow. Macarons have an inconsistent consistency. Some chewy, some crunchy.

Andrew Zaenglein

Everything's great, and worth the wait! I just dropped a mad rhyme. Does anyone even use "mad" anymore? Point is . . . don't let the trendy crowd scare you away, it's legit.

L Y

Desserts look pretty but taste leaves little to be desired.

Ashot Vardanian

The bakery is fine, but sandwiches were horrible

Jacques Chirac

Pastries are too sweet and too expensive . People go there to show off.

Nese Ozler

Long line with inefficient service ...
