I love Alexander's Patisserie! The cakes and pastries I had were amazing. The ones that I did like were 10/10 and the ones that were okay were still good like 7/10 (they just didn't justify the price tag for its taste). If you like cakes that aren't too sweet or the softest dough of croissants, I definitely recommend this place. Highly recommend their black sesame cake, black sesame pastry, and the almond croissant.I thought the flat croissant was very mid. Biggest disappointment though was the service. The staff themselves are super friendly and helpful with recommendations, but I felt like the service was not as good as place like this should be. But hey, food quality is all that matters right?

Their almond croissant was not bad. Too yeast-y personally, but it was nice and rich without the flavor of almond extract. Staffs were very nice and friendly.

Great almond croissant. Flaky, not over sweet, strong almond flavour.

ATTENTION DO NOT GO HERE IF USING A CARD!!!!!!!!! I KEEP GETTING CHARGED $5.29 EVERY week or every couple days. I haven't been in Cali in 2 weeks. There is most likely a card skimmer. My friends are getting charged too so we are notifying the police. Food was good but not worth having to lock my card. Everyday because they can't keep hold of financial transactions.

Worst service. The store looks good, all cakes, pastries look vey fancy. We ordered a coffee in a cup to sit in the sore and enjoy our coffee, they provided in a paper cup to let us go since the store was busy. You pay for a great coffee but no difference in quality and service. I won’t come back again.

I was really excited to try this patisserie and was pretty disappointed. My husband and I each got a hazelnut flat croissant. It was beyond disappointing. It tasted burnt and the bottom of it was definitely burnt. It was dry and had an unpleasant flavor. I honestly didn’t even bother eating the whole thing because it was that bad. I can’t say much about their other pastries but I am not encouraged to go back to try them anyway. The floors had crumbs everywhere and it was pretty hot in there as well. No fans or AC.

I ordered these small cakes for CNY and since I was already there for pick up I went and tried their black sesame croissant, the viral flat croissant and a honeycomb latte. Good thing they still have the mango-flavored one. Their croissants are very tasty and so is the coffee. Their Chinese New Year cakes are delicious too!!! I like the dragon and the mandarin-shaped cake. Will definitely try their other croissants when I’m back in Mountain View.

Their individual cakes are super delicious. We got the pistachio one. The interior is beautiful. It is somewhat pricy though so I consider it a special treat.
Really tasty croissants and drinks. Got the pistachio croissant and praline latte and both were excellent! They were both on the pricey end though, and I don't think I'd be able to justify buying pastries from here all the time. (Paris baguette is a great, cheaper alternative!)Location is also filled all the time, so it's tough to find a spot to work or read for any amount of time. Nevertheless worth trying out their pastries or cakes at least once!

I love a good bakery. I love artistic bakeries. But it still needs to match up with cost and looksPRO:- What a presentation! I didn't want to eat my goodiesCON:- After tasting my cakes, I didn't know what they were. There were no distinct flavors.SUMMARY:You can certainly wow someone with these but maybe not the taste senses.

Alexander's Patisserie is my absolute favorite place to go for dessert. Their Imperial cake is to die for - it's a rich and decadent chocolate mousse cake that is simply irresistible. I also love trying their other flavors every now and then, but the Imperial is always my go-to. It's incredibly addictive, so perhaps it is not a good idea to get close to the desert shop unless you want to indulge in a sweet treat! ?

Fantastic patisserie in Mountain View downtown! Enjoyed the honeycomb latte and hazelnut spiral croissant. Also, they have a delicious chocolate croissant that is served warm. I also got macaroons to go. Every time I've visited they have spiral croissants readily available! The space is bustling and usually filled to the brim but if you're able to snag a table, it's a nice cafe to sit and relax in. I will definitely be back!
