Alexander's Patisserie

The food is perfection. Everything tasted wonderful and was presented beautifully down to the details such as edible flowers and gold painted chocolate reindeer. Extensive tea choices and a leisurely dining experience made for a great experience. The only thing I would suggest (at least for the Cupertino location) is that they also list the Afternoon Tea on the Alexander's Steakhouse website somewhere because the tea is actually served in the steakhouse and someone might not be aware there is an Afternoon Tea available because the Patisserie does not have seating for a tea. However, this tea is definitely worth seeking out!

Just had afternoon tea, and it was great. Those little bites really add up to a filling experience. Personal favorites were the fruit scone with lemon curd, chocolate hazelnut mousse cake, and whatever this mango thing is. The tea was good too.

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 Lunar New Year cake from this store and had a very bad experience. I waited outside for 40min before finally receiving my cake. There was no proper update or explanation during the wait. Also, do not believe them if they say they will call you back. They will not. The only way to get any response is to keep calling again and again yourself. Will not be coming back to this store again.

I picked up a cake for my sister’s birthday and it was extremely tiny for $15. It was about the size of my palm-or smaller. I did enjoy the taste but way too small for the value which is quite disappointing. The shop itself is very tiny also. The online system is strange. It’s confirmed in real-time, and they rejected my order three times. One of the reasons they provided was that they were sold out of the cake I ordered. But when I came in to pick up (same day order) there were plenty more in stock of the cake I originally decided on. I would’ve given up on ordering after all the rejections, but I didn’t feel like wasting time researching for another bakery.
