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.

All desserts looks great and appetizing to eat , especially macarons. Small place but cozy and warm.

The best ham and cheese croissants I have ever had. Service was fast and helpful. Great spot to sit down and relax.

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

Very good items and nice coffee. Good friendly service.No inside seating so not a good place to meet on inclement days.I am addicted to almond croissants. They are horribly unhealthy a day that starts with a good one and nice hot black coffee is a good day. It wasn't the best almond croissant I've had but it was very well made with good ingredients. You can tell when a croissant is made by a good baker.For the good Americano and croissant I paid around $15 plus tip. Not a bargain but very good quality.You get the Alexander quality without paying $500 for a six ounce steak..
Went for a quick stop in MV, and tried different pastries... really like their chocolate hazelnut sponge cake, so rich and delicious. Would love to come back especially for high tea

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

My girlfriend and I went there for a posh duo afternoon party - and this place definitely delivered.The food was really tasty and beautiful. Top marks for that. I thought that the macaroons were a little less than wanting (I would prefer more than just a macaroon for a fancy dessert layout) but that being said -- the earl gray macaroon was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and i would definitely get it on its own another time.The ambiance was a little lacklusters since we were in a work-conferencey room and so the aesthetics didnt quite match the vibes of the afternoon tea. Also is was a room set apart from the other diners, so we ate with other people that were having an afternoon tea as well. I liked the separation for the privacy and quiet for our party (we were the smallest at 2 people) but the room could use an fresh up.Kinda expensive though. It was definitely a bougie experience, but it was about $80 per head to have 1 tea (pot) and a 3 tiered snack tray. Also gonna say, after about a 3 hour stay and drinking all the tea pots and only 1-2 little macaroons left from the food pile, I do feel like I got my moneys worth (the time duration and lack of pushing from the staff was a big add to that. But definitely would be a fun dress up thing to do with friends.

I did not know this place existed! I'm sad this bakery is so hidden! My friends love tea parties, so I was surprised to find this place The Waygu sliders were awesome! The host and servers were lovely, checking in us about every 30 minutes. The tea menu is good; I liked that we could chose based on how much caffeine each section had. It was nice small group birthday get-together.

My high tea experience at Alexander Patisserie was underwhelming and i will not return or recommend.1) Service was not great. They seemed understaffed. No one checked up on us through our time. We constantly had to get up to flag the server for more hot water, sugar, creamer.2) Diluted tea, we came for tea time. Why are you skimping on tea leaves? Tea lacked flavor.3) Tea in a coffee press, not even in a teapot. Not the vibe.4) Had to ask for creamer and sugar. Gave us sugar packets. Looked over at another table. They had sugar cubes. What?! Where is the consistency? 5) Missed some dessert items that other people had on there's. Other table has this panacotta looking dessert. Was not in ours. Once again, where is the consistency? 6) Cramped location, even though it is out door. they try to packed too many tables together so there is no privacy. We heard the entire conversation of the neighboring table. Amusing but also not a vibe when you are just trying to enjoy tea and having your own conversations.
