Maison Alyzee cakes are one of the best in the Bay Area.
I’m especially a fan of their chocolate desserts: the signature chocolate tart with hazelnut praline is deliciously rich, the tiramisu pastries perfectly light and creamy and the harmony is sweeter chocolate muss.

Got the paris brest... it was soooo sweet. The price point is only justified in terms of size, but not quality.

More than once I’ve been served coffee and dessert in broken/chipped dinnerware. Please spend the money and time to sort through this, it’s disappointing. I’ve posted a photo for reference

The quality of service and cleanliness put us off completely. Even out of town guests noticed that.

Cozy little cafe with plenty of baked goods, ample tea and coffee options. If you are into green teas - try paris for her. Staff is just the cherry on top you need. Best thing - it opens till late.

Yikes. One of the staff cleaned the table and then went on to serve other customers.

Coffee and food was reasonable but not worthy of the premium.
Most importantly the service is atrocious. The table was dirty and they refused to clean citing that they are “busy” even after asking many times. Typically we would have left but we had seniors who wanted a min to sit.
What a worse way to experience a relaxed coffee. Please avoid if you want a peaceful experience as there are a lot of better coffee and pleasant experiences nearby.

After two disappointing stops at very overhyped bakeries in SF, we ended our pastry hunt at Maison Alyzee, and I’m so glad we did. We’ve been here before and they never disappoint.
Today we tried the chocolate croissant, hazelnut croissant and the tiramisu, and both were easily the best we’ve had. This is exactly how a croissant should be: buttery, flaky, crispy on the outside, warm on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Every bite checked all the boxes.
What really sets Maison Alyzee apart is their consistency. Every visit delivers the same high quality, plus they’re always fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly. Their drinks are excellent too, which makes the experience even better.
If you’re deciding between this spot and any overhyped bakery in the Bay Area, do yourself a favor and come here instead. Maison Alyzee hands down has the best croissants I’ve tried in the Bay. Highly, highly recommend

Love their triple chocolate croissant, raspberry matcha cake, almond croissant and raspberry nest.
I had a really disappointing experience with a prepaid cake order at Maison Alyzée in Burlingame, and I would not trust them for any future orders or special occasions.
I placed and paid for my cake order correctly, then drove about 30 minutes round trip, spent time looking for and paying for parking, and waited in the store for about 15 minutes. Only then was I told that my cake had never been made.
The staff admitted that they entered my order incorrectly on their side, so the cake was never prepared. This was their mistake, not mine.
What made it worse was how they handled it. Instead of a real apology or trying to make it right, they offered me some random leftover bread and pastries that were not what I ordered and nowhere near the serving size of the six-person cake I ordered. They even acted like they were doing me a huge favor and that I should be grateful for these forced swaps for items I did not want. They also did not immediately offer a refund for the cake I never received.
In the end, I paid in advance, wasted about an hour, and left with no cake and very poor customer service, even though the mistake was entirely on the bakery’s side. It felt like paying for a slap in the face from the store and then being told to be thankful for it.
If you don’t want your family, friends, or kids disappointed with no cake at a special occasion, I would strongly think twice before ordering a prepaid cake here. Based on my experience, you should only do that if you are okay with wasting time, paying for something you never get, and dealing with unhelpful service when the bakery messes up your order.

Probably one of the worst eclairs I’ve had. Both the filling and the shell was way too salty, and the choux did not puff up to have enough filling inside. $10 for this is ridiculous

Had a really bad experience at this place. The pastry and coffee were fine, but the service was really terrible. I ordered a chocolate croissant - which was the name of the item on the displayed tag. The cashier rang it in as pan a chocolat - I didn’t think much of it until she handed me the wrong pastry. When I told her I wanted the chocolate croissant (actually named the triple chocolate, but not displayed as that on the card), she told me that it was more expensive so she would not give it to me… huh? The price difference was $1.50, which I was happy to pay. I told her again that I wanted what I ordered and would pay the difference and she ignored me.
I was kind of stunned at the implication I could not afford $1.50 more. I stepped away, then went back up bc I wanted the right pastry. I heard her complaining about me to another coworker loudly, and she then pretended not to see me and ignored me. I told her I’d like to pay the difference for the pastry I ordered, and she told me she couldn’t do that and needed to get her manager.
I waited for 15 minutes at the counter. Finally the manager helped me (and it was obviously not a problem for me to pay the difference and get the right pastry).
The level of rudeness by the cashier was honestly shocking. The most ironic thing is I added a tip on my original payment that would have covered the cost difference anyway. Definitely don’t recommend this place, there are a ton of other establishments with staff who are actually friendly!
