The Best Bakery in Long Beach!!! Cookies are yummy and fantastic!! No way can I describe the chocolate chewies other than off the chart soooo good!!! Tried an apple crisp and warmed it up in the oven. Oh my goodness it felt so wholesome having the house smell of apple fragrance. Paired with some lovely ice cream from the Long Beach Creamery my spirits were soaring!! Give this bakery a visit. Since 1958.. this place is Long Beach folks!!!! read more

I really wanted to like this bakery, but unfortunately my experience was pretty disappointing. I stopped by to pick up a pecan pie and an apple pie, and both ended up being undercooked and basically not edible. It was such a letdown, especially since I was excited to bring them home for dessert. What made it worse is that the woman who helped me didn't mention anything about the pies needing additional baking or prep. I assumed they were ready to eat--because, well, they're pies from a bakery. Instead, I ended up wasting over $40 on items I couldn't even serve. I'm sure others may have had better experiences, but just a heads-up: please be cautious if you go. I wish I had known before buying. read more

One of my favorite long time bakeries in Long Beach! You will find a variety of baked goods and can count on the owners to take your requests even during the busiest times of the year/holidays. Croissant, creams puffs, cookies, pies, cheesecake, fruit tarts, and many other delicious treats. Oh, there's quiches as well! It's a perfect place to stop by if you're hosting brunch, holidays or for yourself! Everything is freshly made and you can taste the quality of ingredients. For Christmas the owner makes beautiful Gingerbread house which makes a perfect gift for children and adults. I've never been turned down an order or told it's sold out! You will be greeted by the owners at every visit with a warm welcome and smile. The bakery is maintained very well and is very clean and baked goods are always delicious and boxed up beautifully. read more

The flakey chocolate cookies are amazing. I had a turkey and cheese croissant and i disliked it so much. i'm a turkey and cheese crossaint connoisseur and i was disappointment. will be back for the flakey cookies!!! Service was great, i ran in and out but the place looks pretty big! read more

First time here. The location is very humble and at first I thought it was closed....However inside they have nice displays of pastries and they have a very cool and nice variety. The service was fast but there also wasn't any other customers in the store. The store was a bit messy and had the windows almost fully covered? Decently priced and fresh pastries and I will come back for the eclair and the cream puffs. read more

...ok, so... this place is in the middle of nowhere, well, not exactly, but NOWHERE that I've ever been to.... but I knew it would be open early, so today was the day to take a detour off the 405 and find this bakery and buy the most delicious chocolate cookies.... EVER! A friend of mine brought me these cookies once and no matter how many times I've researched recipes... nothing is the same. I had a chat with the owner, Muay, and she told me that her husband is the ONLY one at the bakery who can make them!! OMGG... No wonder they are "so special".... So, chocolate lovers unite. It's worth the drive and, of course, I picked up a few other goodies to try... Why not, right? They've been in business since 1958, so they're obviously doing something right! read more

I ordered a variety of petit fours for a special event. They were ready when I arrived to pick them up. They were fresh, beautiful, and they were so delicious that my guests took 2nds and 3rds with such glee. They were better than my expectations, and I can't recommend Alsace Lorraine Find Pastries more highly. Thank you read more

Unfortunate experience. I bought a good half dozen items to sample. They were dry, stale, and lacking flavor. The peanut butter cookie was the only one I ate entirely. read more

Review is solely for the brownie walnut cookies! OMG, these are so delicious and addicting. It's light, not too sweet and chewy. If you love chocolate, brownies, and walnuts, definitely recommend! read more

I haven't tried anything else here except for the Chocolate Brownie Cookies. They are light and the most delicious cookie ive ever had! Chewy, light and absolutely the best! Order for your next party read more

I'm slightly generous with the rating due to one item. We had but minutes to choose a quick pre-appointment snack as lunch. I'd read about their chocolate cookies and bought two. I would rate a 4 due to small size. Bf was an enthusiastic 5. My large cheese croissant also 4 in my opinion. Bf said another 5. Later on we shared a small slice of carrot cake. Probably my favorite carrot cake that I ever had. Mildly sweet, delicate cake with an added subtly flavored jam along with the icing in the middle. I'm ready to get an entire cake if there were the occasion. Hopefully, they would be affordable. Cost for two cookies, croissant and cake slice $10. Well worth it, once in a while. Curtious service. read more

Absolutely love the chocolate chewies Been having these cookies ever since I was a kid. Highly recommend!

Lol this place has gone waaaaay downhill. Idk what happened. It used to be good back in the days. I walked in there to buy some thing and they had flies inside of their display cases on all of the bakery items and the coffee that they sell is Folgers that has been sitting all day. Gross. Do not come here. read more

Absolutely wonderful bakery. Ordered from NC on the phone to Long Beach CA. Delivered on time. Just exactly what we ordered! Thanks Alsace Lorraine! read more

Chocolate Chewies for the WIN! They are the absolute best. Everyone I have shared them with gets addicted.

My family and I have been going here for so long! I don't know why I only reviewed this place now. We got for their chocolate chews!!! The perfect blend of chocolate and walnuts! The best part is that it's not too sweet! It's definitely one of my favorite cookies that hit the spot. I have not tried all their pastries yet but some of their cookies like chocolate chip are just ok. read more

Just got a Birthday Cake and it was just like the old days when the original owners ran it, Will be going back again.

These are the worst tasting, dried out, stale cupcakes I have ever tasted. The frosting is some fake whipped cream goo with no actual taste, just a greasy residue coating your mouth. I can't stress enough how stale / dried out the actual cake part was, as if these were baked days ago and left to sit. If I could give ZERO stars I would. The biggest sin is that I asked the woman at the counter if everything was baked fresh. She answered yes. I'll stick with a solid bakery like Rossmoor Bakeries, which always has fresh items. Even grocery-store packaged items taste better than Alsace Lorraine "fine" pastries. Blech. read more

I am seriously finished with this bakery. They used to be the best in town years ago. Whatever the current owners have done with the baking and creation of their pastries, I don't even want to know. The last few times I had their products, they were tasteless. The most recent and last treat I picked up from this place, was just gross. The cannoli was completely tasteless and mushy! Was not sweet at all! If I'm going to eat a pastry, I want it to taste sweet and like a pastry! The shell of the cannoli was totally mushy as if it had been sitting for at least a day or longer. The cream filling had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The inside of the bakery is not inviting at all and seems unclean. There was only one person working the counter and the line was out the door. It took forever to get 1 pastry that didn't even taste good! read more

This bakery has, by far, the best pastries, cookies, and cupcakes! Their homemade frostings are so creamy and not super sugary. It reminds me of my local bakery I used to go to as a kid in NYC. I literally go out of my way just to drive here and pick up dessert for the weekends. I definitely recommend. read more

Alsace Lorraine Fine Pastries - a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles - Bakeries Near Me - Long Beach, California

I can remember buying a cake with cream filling and strawberries here years ago, that was delicious and memorable. It became my go-to bakery for quality birthday cakes for many years. Not anymore. I hadn't been there for years until recently when I stopped in to try a sampling of their pastries as a treat during the Covid pandemic. I didn't realize the ownership had changed. The place looks disorganized and unkempt. I bought 7-8 pastries to sample at home - eclairs, sponge cakes, macarons, fruit tart, etc. Terrible, all of them. Dry, pastry crust hard as a rock, sickening sweet. None of the artistry you'd usually find at a French bakery. I won't be back. read more

Picked up some cupcakes for a small gathering. The cub cakes were stale and tasted like they were a week old. Inedible. The current owners should just close up shop and walk away. Hostess cupcakes would have been better read more

My pal Jenn N, told me about this place that reportedly has better chocolate chews compared to previously reviewed Torrance Bakery. Unfortunately, I mentioned it to some ladies I know, and they asked me to drop by. Alsace Lorraine is on Atlantic in the Bixby Knolls area of LBC and has been in business 55 years. In addition to cookies, AL has tarts, cakes and macaron. I bought a dozen chocolate chews ($9.99), a couple of Mexican wedding cookies, and 3 macaron ($1.50/each: Coconut; Pistachio; Sea Salt Caramel). First of all, the ladies said the chocolate chews were sweeter compared to Torrance Bakery. In addition, they were not as dense. Verdict - Good, but not as good as TB: 3 Stars. I ate the latter items, and unfortunately the Mexican wedding cookies were dry: 2 Stars. Lastly, only the coconut macaron was really good. The other two were OK, but better than other places not named Bouchon or Bottega Louie: 3 Stars. Regarding the service, it was alright. The person who helped me was nice. However, she also tried to put everything in one box: 3 Stars. On the other hand, the ambiance is very nice. The bakery is located in an old neighborhood, and it has a nice feel to it: 4 Stars. Sorry Jenn, but I would not return here. The food was OK, but this place has seen better days. I guess this is payback for me choosing Project West - LOL! read more

I have been a customer of this bakery for many many years for a reason. The bakery is always clean and the staff is pleasant which makes ordering specialty cakes a breeze, the prices are fair and the taste and quality is superb. You can also buy cake boxes if you need them I buy them when I bake homemade cakes and need a container to store them. I stopped by this day after I visited the dentist who knew Alsace was next door to my new dentist I almost felt wicked ordering sweets..,Lol This is what I chose. Blueberry and Raspberry Pastry I tried a bite of blueberry and the pastry felt oddly sticky it was dry and the filling was way too sweet I didn't like it and I tossed both of because I didn't want to waste any calories. Ice box cookies a solid cookie similar to shortbread full of chopped nuts perfect with a cup of plain coffee or tea. Apricot shortbread buttery thick and rich filled with apricot one of my favorites a two bite dose of deliciousness. Mini Chocolate buttercream cake layered with wafers filled with chocolate buttercream rich and delicious it's soo good that buttercream is crack. Mini Cheesecake with lemon topping thick and dense filling topped with lemon curd so tart and tasty it compliments the rich cheesecake. Mini coconut buttercream cake with lemon filling it was hand down the most Decadent delicious cake I've had this year the buttercream was sooo good I would love to buy a container to frost my homemade cakes this is addicting. Alsace is old school and the quality is the same as the first time I visited. I have tried a variety of cakes and cookies and pastries over the years and 90 % of the time it was a hit my only issue today was the pastries they just aren't my thing I took off one star for those. I'm aware Taste is subjective but I'm baffled at some of the bad reviews for Alsace Lorraine this bakery has been in Bixby knolls for many years that alone should vouch for the quality of what they offer. I always but extra sweets and I store them in the freezer wrapped in plastic to keep them moist. I put them in fridge overnight if I want to eat one. Alsace is the bomb.com in my opinion. read more
