Alexander's Patisserie

We visited this place while in Mountain View and had afternoon tea/coffee with desserts. We were enticed by the looks of the desserts and the ambiance was inviting as well, pretty cozy. We thought of giving the pistachio cake a try along with espresso. While it's an absolutely beautiful-looking cake, we never had a WOW factor, and nothing special for the espresso. Worth the price, not for us. And Happy that we gave it a try.

Alexander’s Patisserie exceeded every expectation and made for an unforgettable breakfast! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The almond croissant was hands down the best I’ve ever had—buttery, perfectly flaky, filled with a rich almond cream, topped with sliced almonds, and dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar. Every bite was pure perfection! My son ordered the Caprese panini, and he absolutely loved it. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the combination of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil, and pesto created a wonderfully fresh and flavorful sandwich. It was served with fresh strawberries, making it an even more enjoyable meal. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the quality of both the pastries and savory dishes is outstanding. If you’re looking for an exceptional breakfast or pastry experience, Alexander’s Patisserie is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to come back! ❤️🥐🍓

After attending an event in Mountain View that finished around dinner time, I had some yummy Asian food then I thought to myself…time for dessert. I stopped into Alexander’s Patisserie. It was busy at 7pm on a Wednesday night! I perused the dessert case and spotted several desserts that sounded very interesting. These are pricey…sometimes one needs to splurge on something special - that’s my motto. I chose the Raspberry Blossom cake which sounded just right for the HOT weather outside. This dessert was a lovely shade of pink with a delicate flower decoration made of white chocolate on top. I was going to take the dessert to go, but I thought I’d better appreciate how pretty it looked and take a bite. Omg, this dessert is DELICIOUS. Bright, tart raspberry compote layer inside with layers of raspberry crémeux and mousse, feuilleté (flaky phyllo) and almond financier base which seems almost Graham cracker-like. This dessert for a berry-fan was perfection on this hot day! It was refreshing, not heavy and beautiful to see. The cashier/counter staff was patient. Very pleasant to interact with. The patisserie is open until 9pm most days. What a terrific way to finish out the day inside a

All the dessert are very elegant and made with great details. They're almost too pretty to eat and great for taking pictures. They are expensive - $15 each, definitely not cheap and overpriced, IMO. Got a box of half a dozen macaroons and they are very good. Also order a lavender-flavor tea. Both the lavender and tea flavor is very weak, almost tastes like water. The decor is nice and seating is comfortable. It's a great place tables for people to hang out. Some tables are not cleaned though. Wish the staff would clean the tables more regularly.

This is one of the well-known patisseries in the Mountain View area, and I stopped by this morning to grab a quick breakfast. The place was already bustling — full of people eating, chatting, and enjoying the cozy, welcoming space. It looked like a great spot to sit and spend some time, but I was in a hurry, so I ordered takeout instead. They have an overwhelming selection of baked goods — truly paradise if you love pastries. There’s also a solid coffee menu, though I skipped coffee this time. I picked up a barbecue pork croissant, and it was honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten recently. The pastry was perfectly flaky and crunchy, and the filling was a finely prepared, mildly spiced barbecue pork — not too spicy, but incredibly flavorful and well-balanced. I also tried a pastry called Harmony, made with high-quality chocolate. The sweetness was very restrained, allowing the chocolate flavor to really shine, with a pleasant crunchy layer inside. It felt like a proper indulgence. While I was waiting for my order, one of the bakers even offered me a macaron to taste , a raspberry or strawberry flavor , and it was excellent as well. They have so many other baked items that I
