Alexander's Patisserie

Fashionably expensive pastry spot with unattractive ambience.
The pastries (we tried macaroons) were just ok, given the outlandish price.
The highlight was really the staff, who did not issue a single smile during our ordering experience.
Not coming back.

$15 for a piece of cake. The cake itself is good and tasty, but the environment and the service are not. Experience-wise not worth the money.

One of my favorite patisserie shops, well worth the elevated prices for the exquisite desserts. Cute outdoor seating area, too

Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, it is a teeny tiny shop unsuitable for a wheelchair, and difficult for a walker. Outdoor seating area is ideal, though: no stairs, ground level. I suggest ordering online and/or calling for outdoor delivery. It's definitely worth the hassle ;-)

Experienced the afternoon tea at Alexander’s Patisserie.

Pâtisseries were great. Excellent tea selection which was from Fortnum Mason.
Sandwiches were dry, and kind of tough. Their desserts are usually really good but because it was so hot outside, they were already melting and we were sitting in the shade.

We ordered pescatarian / vegetarian options and they were able to accommodate.

Make reservations as they are required. when we went, they only had outdoor seating so would recommend doing tea during the cooler times as everything started melting during the summer.

I ordered a quiche and hot tea, both were great. The staff was very helpful and kind. I sat in the cafe to work for a few hours and it was overall very quiet and pleasant. I also ordered a ton of other goodies before leaving for a client meet, they loved everything!

Macarons are so good

This is a very small bakery but the cakes (for the most part) are consistent with the Mountain View one. There's only outdoor seating and the vibe is just a bit off. The hyped flat croissant tastes like a butterfly cookie.

Life is full of surprises. I was going to leave it a three star review but that first bite of the last chocolate pastry sold to me changed my mind. I imprudently felt it was worthy of the money I spent.Decided to take my son to try out Alexander's Patisserie in Cupertino for the first time. Found out it was much smaller than its sister shop in Mountain View, in terms of store size and selection. No indoor dining, only outdoors, not bad when it's warm and sunny, but not ideal when it's wet and cold.Although staff was friendly and helpful, I was not impressed with the whole atmosphere, neither was my son who complained about its priciness.There was a vibe of detachment and coldness in the ambience, I guess it's because of lack of indoor seating and people.I went home, still amusing at how much spent on four items (two pastries and two fancy mousse cakes), then I took the first bite of the chocolate cream pastry, and it sent me to heaven! It was divine! The crispy shell mixed with the creamy chocolate contents was unbelievably yummy! Not sure if it's the psychological effect that lies on the more $$ you spend on something the better you perceive it is.After Alexander's, we went to 85 degree bakery cross the street and bought a whole bag of bake goods and two boba milk teas, with the same amount of money.It's all perspective.

takes forever to serve you

$7 for a croissant. $14 for a tart. Quite average. Absurdity.

So beautiful!

absolutely gorgeous pastries, really just bonkers how good they are

$6 croissant that tasted old/kinda soggy. Not sure if things have changed but the Mountain View downtown location is much better.
