The best macaron place in Seattle, hands-down! This place far exceeds any other macaron place that I've been to! The macaron itself was self airy, aromatic, flavorful, all the good qualities of a macaron I never knew could exist! I highly recommend and I would come back! read more

This is a charming cafe with exceptional baked goods and a "vibe" that is particularly attractive because it rejects the clinical, modernist, techno-corporate gimmick. Eschew Wifi-enabled tech-absorption in favor of real conversations, long-form thoughts exchanged with multiple intelligences called for in real human connection, or the simple joy of imagination and day dreaming. I love their decorative little tables facing the quiet Capitol Hill side-street itself not particularly attractive -- but which offers a pause for a bite and a sip without the capitalist rushtime nipping at your heels. I've had their stellar and inventive-flavored macarons, but their cakes are no slouches either. The rose pistachio coffee cake was delectable. I make this place a destination because if I am lucky I can get one of those bay-window tables for a vegetarian quiche or Spanish tortilla washed down by coffee. I noticed the use of fresh herbs and the sense of a good ingredients and home-touch hand with their plates, as opposed to the commonplace, harried, sloppy kitchen production. Their drip coffee was too acidic for my taste (I prefer nutty balanced, chocolatey flavor). Next time I would get a latte. A higgledy-piggledy antique-style bathroom in the back is another sign of a time-hewn, characterful place. The brickwork in their narrow back patio is inviting but on a recent Sunday morning had been snagged for a private party. Finally a note to the artful wall tributes to heroic workers martyrs from U.S. history. The cafe elevates the spirit of care for the working person, which is noteworthy. Counter to the loudest mouthpieces of the modern era that would erase these assassinated/ crushed heroes that fought for the wellbeing and life of working people, you know that it is these heroes' spirit of courage that continues to outshine the capitalist drivel and machine mind of the majority. read more

Nut allergy warning: As always, macarons use almond flour, so avoid pastries. Review is primarily for their drinks. We came in at around 9AM on a Friday morning and there weren't that many people there. I ordered their matcha latte and my partner ordered the cold brew. Drinks were ready in less than five minutes. Cold Brew: 3/5. Had a slightly sour note, indicating that it might have been a little old or brewed slightly too long. I will say I liked it better than some other nearby options in terms of the flavor of the roast and not being diluted by ice. Matcha Latte: 4/5. Nice earthy flavor. I'd order this again. A friend came by later to look around and noted that there were a number of flies on the macarons, so I would examine those carefully before ordering any. read more

I stopped by Alexandra's for Sunday brunch with some friends. The café was busy when we arrived around 1 PM, with every table filled, but the cozy atmosphere made it a nice place to relax. I ordered the sweet waffles, while my friend got the savory version. Mine came with strawberry jam and whipped cream, and the waffles were crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The sweet and tart flavors balanced well. The savory waffles had herbed cream cheese, jalapeños, and a fried egg, which made for a completely different but tasty combination. While both were solid, I preferred the sweet one. On our waitress's recommendation, I also tried the frittata, and it ended up being my favorite dish. It had plenty of olives, adding a nice briny flavor, and the eggs and potatoes were cooked perfectly. read more

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. read more

Stopped in to try the holiday macarons and got one of each plus an extra Santa sugar cookie since the staff person recommended it! I appreciated the thoughtful wrapping and recommendations. They were also friendly as they wrapped the snacks. Cute and small seating area if you're planning to stay. The macarons were fresh and tasty without being overly sweet like I think sometimes can happen with sweeter flavor inspirations. Would recommend! read more

4$ for crunchy macarons. They were very disappointing. Service and vibe are nice though.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Alexandras Macarons - Macarons to go - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Alexandras Macarons - Twice baked almond croissant, brie and marmalade croissant and lattes! All very good. - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

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! :)~ read more

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!! read more

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.

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.

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. read more

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. read more

Most flavorful croissants I've had in Seattle. Thoughtful, delicious breakfast menu, and can happily say the pizza nights are great too!

Really cute venue, tucked away from the bustle of Pike/Pine and well worth a visit. read more
