Alexandras Macarons & Cafe

Excellent spot to sate your brunch and baked cravings. The cheesy croissant was perfectly flaky and savory. Rarely do you get this level of perfection in a croissant. For this alone I'll be a repeat customer! The savory waffles were quite interesting with a medley of flavors including maple syrup! The fried egg and the cheddar jalapeno cornbread combo really go well together. The sandie was equally flavorful and decadent. My only complaint was the chai. It was made with a chai mix of sorts and it tasted like chai flavored milk instead of actual chai. But this is a Seattle thing. So they are excused!

This is a great spot — we come here often for both food and coffee and it’s always great with amazing staff! One suggestion: please consider better training for staff on making matcha. I’ve had it made perfectly once, which keeps me ordering it, but most times it’s been too thin and not mixed properly. Would love to see more consistency!

Best restaurant coffee in Seattle, and better coffee than many cafes! My wife had a latte that exceeded any restaurant coffee we've had anywhere, and my espresso was also the best I've had outside of a coffee roasters. We also had the rose pistachio cake which was the perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and moist, best cake we've had in Seattle. I also had a chocolate espresso macaron, and it met my standards (exceeded my expectations for America). Altogether, this place could compete with most European bakeries and cafes, which is really saying something.

BAD COFFEE! SAVE YOURSELVES😭😭 Just came in to order lattes for my partner and I. Unsure if they just don’t focus on coffee here but my latte was absolutely terrible. My gf’s latte was great, and I ordered a quad (my typical order at most shops) so I thought mine may have just been more concentrated (which makes sense!) but I had my gf try mine and she Gagged. It tastes like they filled my cup w stale drip coffee and topped it off with a burnt shot. Will not be returning, deeply disappointed at how much we paid. My gf wanted us to go back so she could re-order for me but we’re busy and don’t have time. :,( edit: just poured out the cup, and it had quite a bit of grounds at the bottom as well.

After fasting for the doctors to poke me, I needed breakfast. What luck, the #2 bus dropped us here. Finally, a decent breakfast sandwich. The baked plum brioche was just right for dipping in a cortado. The day looks brighter.

I am what society fears: old, and possibly cantankerous. I may not yet be walking with a stick to shake at the sky for yelling at clouds, but I do possess a rapidly decaying physical form. I can no longer enjoy many of the foods I used to love in my youth, and that especially pertains to baked goods. So much of what is made in the U.S. is on the extreme end of the sweet spectrum for me. My teeth cry out in pain at the first bite of cake. If anyone needs me, I’ll be drinking my cup of tea, unsweetened, in the corner. And this is why I am head over heels in love with the rose-pistachio – pistachio-rose? – cake at Alexandra’s. It is not too sweet—and I mean this as the highest, best, penultimate compliment I could ever give. The cake slice is just the right portion to enjoy with my tea, and the sugar is balanced perfectly to allow all the other flavors to come through. And it’s pretty. I’m not a take-pictures-of-my-food sort of person, but I would snap a photo of this cake for social media. Never take it off your menu, Alexandra! It is the best slice of heaven for cranky old people like myself.

Little too greasy and rich but overall nice brunch

The food rating is for my drink Aperol Spritz. I was served without an orange slice. The server did not update or let me know. She just kinda put it on the table and walked off. I had to ask her if there was no orange and she confirmed that they had no orange.... Kinda weird that as customers we have to ask for the missing ingredients. It would not have been an issue and the drink itself wasn't, if she had just informed me rather than trying to, what I think, is tricking the customer, me in this case. Not sure if she thought a guy like me would not notice. Oh, she also put 2 cherries as a substitute for the missing orange slice. She did not ask if that would be okay or not. Just there. Have it or don't. Lmao! So, if they are trying to trick the customers like this then I can see then doing the same with their other items on the menu. Do better!

Alexandra's is criminally underrated. It's cute and fairly spacious inside, has two sidewalk bistro tables, and brunch is not busy so there's no wait. I realize I'm probably shooting myself in the foot with that little note, but they deserve the business. The young staff is super helpful and take care of patrons quickly. There are so many delicious looking items. We tried the tartine, a sweet sourdough waffle, and a savory one. Every single bite was amazing. There was definitely a hard boiled egg where a soft boiled (or was it poached?) was offered, but that hardly phased us. We took 6 packs of macrons to go, and while I do not enjoy them myself, my family devoured them in moments. I will definitely be back to try more of the tantalizing menu. Oh, and there's pizza if you go in the evening! Plenty of GF options, too.

Tasty food and drinks however the customer service here could be friendlier. Especially to those who are like me neurodivergent and a person of color. I don't think I'll be back here again and I don't recommend this place if you're a BIPOC/neurodivergent person.

I don't like macarons, but I like these ones - they are so good! Cute little neighborhood shop. The macarons are $3.5 each or 6/$18...pricey but aligned with the pricing of other premium products in Seattle.

Five stars because this cafe is cute, woman owned, and dog friendly! I came by with a friend for a Valentines Day event they were doing for dogs - they had a photo booth set up and watercolor valentine's day cards to DIY. They even had special dog treats and brought in a local vendor. The space itself is pretty small and a good amount of people turned out for the event, which was so nice to see. I ordered a latte and a twice baked almond croissant for around $15 total, pretty standard Seattle pricing nowadays. The coffee was alright, the croissant was delicious - would order again. Overall, a charming cafe and I'll definitely be back.

One of the highest quality cafe's in the city. Excellent food and drinks with even better customer service. The aesthetic reminds me of being in small town in France, which is a pretty unique feel here in Seattle. I'll be back asap cause I'm officially addicted to the macarons!

After picking up some groceries for the week, I saw this cute coffee shop on the corner of the street. I stopped to grab a coffee but then ended up also getting a frittata that sounded and then ended up tasting amazing. Wasn't in the mood for macarons or pizza, but knew I needed to go back once I had that fantastic coffee and frittata! There was only one person working, I was thinking it was Alexandras she was so nice and kind. If you are in a rush, I would recommend another coffee shop because I did have to wait some time for the coffee and frittata. There is also no wifi at this coffee shop which I really like because it gives you the opportunity to connect in person with others and also be with yourself.

Alexandra's is a great neighborhood joint. Lots of families come here before and after school. They sell out of most of their pastries after 11am but they always have plenty of macarons. Service is really good. Everyone who works here is super nice and patient and attentive! Now honest review: Savory danish: 7/10 that day it was a goat cheese and yam flavor. Danish was dry but the flavor was good. Pretty small though (and flat) Sesame bagel w/ spicy garlic cream cheese: 6/10 bagels were so small and flat and super chewy. For the price it wasn't worth it. Garlic cream cheese was pretty good. Lots of raw garlic inside. Vanilla oat latte: 6/10 just average. Coffee isn't a standout The macarons are the show stopper. Any flavor is great. My favorite is the pistachio. Even though the coffee and other pastries are average, the people, ambiance make up for it. Support local businesses!

This place is super cute! If you live nearby I highly recommend strolling over here on a nice day and sitting in the courtyard. I had an oat milk latte and my mum had a normal latte and a frittata. I totally forgot to take any photos of the food or coffee but I did take a picture of the amazing courtyard out the back!

All of the lovely staff add to the beautiful ambiance of this quant café. Zara was very friendly and helpful with all the menu items. I tried Chloe's Toma-Tini cocktail and it was 10/10!

The shop is nice and I like the vibe. Staff are friendly, food is good. What makes me give 2 stars is that they've up'd their prices recently which make me uncomfortable. I paid like 8 dollars for a chocolate croissant. That's too much.

Variety warm welcome (nice after you've harassed them for 6 dozen). The spot has a great selection of baked goods. I was in the hunt for macarons and they had them! Everyone was friendly, clean spot and I can't wait to go back for some wine and more pastries!!!

Very cute coffee shop- inside reminded me of inside an air stream for some reason. The shop has some indoor and outdoor seating. They offer various food offerings that really can be meals, as well as normal bakery items and pastries. I got an oat milk latte with a bit of vanilla syrup. It was pretty good and the store was just so cute. I could see settling in there for a cozy cup with a friend or two. Next time I may just need to try a pastry!

This macaron and pastry cafe is the absolute cutest. They're closed Monday's, but open 7-7 the rest! I got a box of assorted macarons that ended up being so delicious. Very soft and not hard or chewy, these macarons literally melted in my mouth. I highly suggest getting the mango chili macaron. The almond croissant I got had the most decadent amaretto filling and paired excellently with the hot oat milk latte I got. I wish I came here more since I lived so close to it, but definitely come here for coffee if you're in the area and come out of your way for her macarons!

Most flavorful croissants I've had in Seattle. Thoughtful, delicious breakfast menu, and can happily say the pizza nights are great too! Warm and helpful staff, plus there's a new special on the menu each week, which impressed me. Macarons are textbook, with both classic and experimental flavors. Really cute venue, tucked away from the bustle of Pike/Pine and well worth a visit.

So I will try to make this brief, but it will be difficult. Alexandra's not only sells the best focaccia I have ever had, the owner has helped to restore my faith in humanity. That's a lot for a cafe, I know. My father has stage 4 colon cancer (and a slew of other terrible illnesses). Prior to having cancer, he lived with me for several months every winter in the Seattle area. He has been a huge focaccia fan for as long as I can remember. When he came one winter, I took him to Alexandra's and he said it was the best focaccia he's ever tasted. Not traditional really, but a take on the bread that he has never had before and loved (he notes the thick loaf, wealth of olive oil throughout, and delicious olives, as well as coarse sea salt on top). He has been talking about this bread for years and has it multiple times when he visits. I have since moved back to Chicago to be with family as my parents continue to have health difficulties. Recently, my father lost a scary amount of weight during chemo treatments and had almost no appetite for months. He was often checked out and foggy in his thinking, but one day he left me a voicemail asking me about the focaccia from Alexandra's and if there was a way he could get it. I emailed the owner, Alexandra, explaining the situation. She replied saying she would love to make him a loaf, free of charge. Sure enough she sent it to us. It arrived days after he was admitted to the hospital with a grave prognosis. It has been the hardest month of my family's lives. Unfortunately, he could not swallow after being admitted to the hospital and the doctors thought it unlikely he would ever swallow again. I decided not to tell him I got the bread just in case they were right. Well, it has been in my freezer for weeks now. My father defied the odds and is still alive. I told him a couple weeks ago that I received the focaccia loaf with a very kind note from the owner and he should use it as motivation to be able to swallow again. He did. We were just told today by his rehab facility that he is cleared to eat anything he wants! We don't know how long he has left exactly, but are so so grateful he is still here and will be having the best focaccia again. Made by such a kind human. I doubt many have read this far, but , in case you have, GO TO ALEXANDRA'S. IT HAS THE BEST FOCACCIA, IT's SUPER CUTE INSIDE,AND IT IS OWNED BY SUCH A GOOD HUMAN.

Another day calls for another box set of macarons! It's a cute little shop in central district - not just filled with macarons but with other baked goodies. Be fully prepared to gorge hard on carbs, fats, and sugar!!! Their frittata was very similar to a traditional Spanish tortilla and I was delighted to see it donned with chopped herbs, olives, and sour cream. If you're thinking you're not in the mood for a piece of focaccia, you'll be missing out big time. Do get it warmed up bc they do an extra healthy drizzle of olive oil and it is so crispy and tasty. The almond croissant, while not the best I've had, it certainly hits your almondy cravings. Lastly, the macarons are good in size, flavor, and texture. We all have our preferences in macarons and there are some unique flavors that's offered here that I don't see often in other shops. Overall a great little spot for a carb heavy breakfast - it would be nice to see some more protein packed offerings but it hit all the salty, sugary, carby, decadent cravings.

Gosh this place is soooooo goooood!!! I walked in simply because I was parched and wanted some tea. And got extremely distracted by the beautiful macarons and incredible flavours. I got hibiscus-rose and passionfruit-rose-sesame macaron! Gosh they were both so goood!! The passionfruit cream was so perfect to offset the sweetness and the hibiscus was so damn creamy. These are very fresh and crispy. By far the best macrons in Seattle. I also got the pistachio rose cake. Very crumbly and soft just sweeter than I prefer! Side note my friend also got cappuccino which was perfect!!

This place is absolutely adorable. I remember when she sold her macarons out of her van and now they have an actual location. Their macarons are still the best Ive ever had but now theres so much other things to choose from. We also got a guava and cream cheese pop-tart. It was amazing!

OMG, such a treat! Alexandra's makes it so easy - I just can't decide because every flavor is delish!

I loved this place! After hearing such good things from a friend I decided to visit. I was not disappointed. It's such a cute aesthetic shop with little plants all over. The owner is so friendly. The macarons.... Let me telllll you. Wonderful. Sooo sooo delicious. I got a pack of 12 and a pack of 6. My favorite was the red velvet and pistachio. They're soft and crunch and have a good amount of filling ratio compared to the cookie itself. There's also a funfetti one, I haven't tried it yet but it looks so cute! Definitely check it out.

I purchased a dozen macarons and it was a bit pricey but not outrageous if the macarons were fresher. The entire box was stale and crumbly and they had the distinct refrigerated taste. Unfortunately macarons don't keep very well and it was very apparent that these were DAYS to a week old. It made them off putting and inedible. For the price I expected better quality.

Good macarons that are made fresh daily. They have season flavors as well. I really liked the pecan pie and pistachio. They're expensive, but definitely worth it

Cutest little cafe in Central District. Parking isn't too tricky since it's not in a busy area. I've had their macarons, coffee, and pizza. They've got it all. My oat milk lavender latte was delicious. The lemon madeline and macarons were lacking a bit of flavor, but the chocolate one was divine. The pizzas are pretty good! We got 3 different ones and one thing that was lacking was just a pinch of salt to really amp up the flavors. The chili oil isn't enough to add that, IMO. definitely worth checking out!!

I love how they styled their macarons, very bohemian. The flavors are just as artistic. My favorite so far is the raspberry matcha. The double chocolate salt has potential, but the salt is overwhelming in some parts (it could be mixed in instead of sprinkled on top). I'm looking forward to trying the black sesame fig next. I'm a little disappointed that they use American buttercream for a lot of their fillings. It's too sweet and doesn't have that silky smooth texture. If they could just switch Swiss and Italian buttercream, that would be a five-star.

A cute cafe with friendly staff and tempting treats located in a quieter part of Cap Hill. I found it during a walk through the area, and I had to peek into see the goodies. I ended up getting a slice of the rose pistachio cake, which had a soft texture that made it delicate to handle. The cake itself was not too sweet and had pistachios distributed lightly through. The glaze on top added the perfect sweetness to each bite. However, I do wish that the rose flavor came through more, as it was so light that I really had to search for it. It was easy to finish the whole slice because it wasn't too sweet or rich, but it did feel a little small for the price.

Delicious and beautiful macarons! Of course, I had to get to unicorn macaron because it's just so beautiful.

Wonderful cafe in a tucked away residential area in the Central District. The space is very welcoming and I love that they highlight and sell local goods as well. The pastry and food offerings are quite impressive. I wanted to try everything! I've visited on a couple of occasions and I've also been impressed with the warm, friendly, and attentive staff and baristas! :) There is an outdoor seating area (in the back) that felt very safe and private for smaller groups. I've had several of the macaron flavors, the twice baked almond croissant, latte, and they were all so good. Definitely worth checking out and I know I'll be back. Also, easy to find street parking if you don't mind walking a block or two!

It always feels like a lucky day when I happen to stumble upon Alexandra's macaron cart at a farmer's market or coffee shop around town. So I was delighted when they opened a brick-and-mortar location in my neighborhood! The store is small inside, but feels light and spacious thanks to the big windows and fresh white interior. You walk in and head straight to the large display case to order treats, then around the corner to order drinks and pay. They usually have rotating seasonal flavors, and I especially like the holiday ones. On my last visit, I tried the pumpkin white chocolatte, raspberry Chambord, lemon honey and chocolate sea salt. They're a little pricey compared to other bakeries, but I really like their creative flavor combinations and decorations. The service is friendly and helpful, and I never feel rushed even when I'm being indecisive because everything looks good! I also love that they have tables set up with wine, treats and handmade items so you can put together an awesome gift basket. The speckled ceramic mugs are gorgeous and locally made. A fun local place to grab some goodies for yourself or do some gift shopping! I'll definitely be back.

Stumbled upon this cute little shop while walking around the neighborhood and picked up a pumpkin spice white choco latte macaron. A creative flavor unlike any I'd heard of before, and it was great! I was tempted to buy their beautiful ceramic mugs. Looking forward to returning to try their wines!

Really cute spot, friendly service. Pizza was fun and delicious; the mushroom pizza was everyone's favorite. Planning to come again!

Lovely homemade macarons with pop colors and flavors from a just as lovely female owner Alexandra! Each piece is ~$3 but each piece is bigger than macarons at most places and the flavors, colors and presentation are inviting to foodies for sure (look for her awesome pop pink van to see if she's at your local farmers market or in uour area! P.S. The macarons get a tad cheaper if you buy them in 6+, 12+ or more quantities. I had a really hard time deciding what my fav flavors were...but I guess if i had to pick. The lavender honey was my #1, followed closely by earl grey and pistachio! I have yet to try all the flavors available though..so if you found a winning favourite flavor of yours, share your thoughts with me, too! Would love to get some more of their macarons for sure! :)~

Very unhappy with Alexandra's. We came at 3.50 during their opening hours and they were closed. Someone was inside and we knocked but she said they were closed. I asked through the closed door if they were not open till 4pm, as it said right there at the door and the website, but she waved me off. NOT COOL! We hurried from a class to Alexandra's, my daughter had been looking forward to it, and she did not even have the flexibility to open the door (during their opening hours!) to talk to us, and possibly handing out one macaroon which we wanted to buy. Veru unneighborly. Will not come again.

ALEXANDRA'S IS SO GOOD. People need to know it's not just Macarons, although those are super delicious and everyone needs to try them. Their pizza queens pizza's are tops in the city and I love that they're vegetarian, I never miss the meat. I also love the harissa oil on the breakfast sandy. And to top it off their backyard is small but adorable and very comfortable when it's warm enough to use it. Very unique flavors on everything I've tried here but it's always just the right amount of unique, never overwhelming. On top of that, everyone who works here is so friendly. Definitely worth checking out even if you don't like macarons.

Only open about one month but absolutely killing it with the macarons in Cap Hill. We stumbled into this spot on a walk with the dog, and saw the sandwich board on the street corner. The assortment of macarons was impressive, as was the adorable interior space. During the holidays they have a handful of local artisan goods for your shopping enjoyment.

Love their delicious macarons, especially the fun flavors they feature. I tried a box with: - Double chocolate sea salt - So pistachio - Raspberry - Sesame passion fruit - Rainbow funfetti It's hard to pick a favorite because I love them all, but if I must choose, it's either the double chocolate sea salt or the so pistachio. Sometimes they also get fancy and paint pretty designs on the macarons so it's a feast for the belly and the eyes.

Okay so we have established that all the food at Alexandra's is incredible but I needed to post an update to my review to emphasize this and to remind you to not sleep on their Pizza Queen's Night Thursdays from 3-8pm. Hol-eyyyy sh*t it's so good, rivaling pizza in the state we've driven and waited hours to try. The dough on our two selections were distinct, clearly made in house by these expert bakers and equally delicious. The toppings and flavor pairings were so cravable. We got the kale salad to go with, which is a staple and favorite of mine. *chefs kiss* to the whole meal. We will be Pizza Queen regulars from now on!!

We went to Alexandra's at 9am on a Sunday morning. We had a warm greeting and were the only ones there so easily found seats. My Cuban husband was stoked to find that they have a guava and cream cheese pop tart. It was delicious and tasted supppper fresh. I enjoy savory foods, so ordered the focaccia olive bread. It was hugeeee, filling, and tasty. We will definitely be back to try their other items!

I'm really hesitant to buy macarons, because they can be pricey for a small pastry, and you don't know if it's going to be worth it. It's not easy to find macarons that have great flavor, texture, and price. As I'm walking around the Fremont Sunday Street Market, of course, the macarons caught my eye. At 6 for $12, I thought I could give them a try, since the flavors sounded interesting. I bought two Rainbow Funfettis, Strawberry Rhubarb, Coffee Cream, Blueberry Black Tea (I think), and some Orange one. I gave some to my sister and we both agreed they were really good. The texture was good. I definitely want to try more flavors of Alexandra's Macarons.

Pizza queen nights are the best nights of the week. So delicious!! The space is adorable and the staff is wonderful.

Another wonderful visit to one of the finest bakeries on the planet! Alexandras Macarons is such a sweet cozy experience and the food fantastic. Bright, kind and courteous employees ready to answer all your questions. My savory croissant was crispy flaky on the outside and decadently melt in the mouth perfect on the inside with the Beecher's cheese still warm. One of the finest culinary experiences in Seattle ever.

Came here on a Wednesday morning to meet a friend for coffee. We got so lucky for a nice morning and ate out on the parklet. This shop is just such an adorable addition to the neighborhood. So excited for Alexandra who I have been following for the last couple years. The coffee was great and it was so nice to see a steady flow of happy customers. I have been telling everyone about Alexandra's and can't wait to see their success and visit again.

The Macarons are $2.50 each or $16 for a half dozen. We picked out two to try, the charcoal honey and the earl grey. The earl grey was a bit too sweet for me, but the honey charcoal macaron was delicious, especially when paired with a sip of coffee right after trying it out. When ordering a half dozen, the Macarons come packaged in a super cute box, but the two of us weren't about to eat an entire half dozen Macarons in the hour we had, so we sufficed with the plastic bag that the two were packaged in. Definitely would try out the other flavors after having that charcoal honey one, especially the lavender flavor that I saw, one of the best dessert flavors in my opinion. The Macarons are also huge, which helps make the price a bit more reasonable, though I still admit that dropping $2.50 on a single dessert does hurt.

I LOVE Alexandra's macarons!!! Not only is the macarons superb, but also the staff is great and friendly as well. My fave macarons are the lemon poppyseed (honestly, this surprised me) and the rose sesame passion fruit (the sesame on the outside was phenomenal)! Also, their savory foods like the tartines looks so intriguing.

Where do I even start with this place?! I discovered this place when I visited the Fremont Sunday Market and what attracted me was the beautifully colored macaron and the hot pink van. I immediately went and ordered a box of 6 and I was in flavor heaven. The texture is the perfect balance of crunch and softness, the filling is always fresh, and the flavors are out of this world. I love the guava one and the chocolate one. I honestly love going on Sunday and getting a box of macarons from them. They are always so sweet and always recommend the most delicious ones! Make sure if you see them to try them!

I bought a box of macarons from here last weekend at the Fremont Farmer's Market. So happy I did! Best macarons I've had! I bought a mixed box of Pumpkin Spice White Cholo-Latte, Espresso Chocolate, and Spooky Salted Caramel. All were delicious -- hard to pick a favorite. They are on the larger side for macarons and the filling was generous. They're sweet, but not overly so. I think they are perfect, and I wish I had more. A must buy in Seattle.

Don't come here if you are trying to study or work, apparently it's a device free zone although not advertised at all. I bought a $6 coffee to sit and get some work done and was asked to leave after I pulled out my laptop. I'm a nurse and fully vaccinated, this request was very strange to me as there were multiple people getting coffee and chatting with others which producers a much higher viral load than someone sitting quietly in the corner sipping a coffee.

After learning about this dream shop yesterday, we mustered up some accomplishments to reward ourselves for and headed over. Alexandra and her shop do not disappoint! We got a box of macarons and made sure to get one of every flavor. We enjoyed every. Single. Flavor. (Our very favorites were green tea, double chocolate and lemon curd.) Get over there and support this lovely small local business- you will not regret it!!!!

Such a lovely little neighborhood spot! The best dirty chai latte in the world and yummy bites to eat. Highly recommend if you're nearby.

Such wonderful flavor on the macaroons. The kale salad and the frittata were fantastic. A must do for pastry and brunch.
