Maison Alyzee has a beautiful selection of high-end desserts, and the tiramisu was delicious. However, my experience with the coffee was a bit disappointing. They were out of cold brew, and I was told it was too busy to make a drip coffee, so I ended up ordering an espresso instead. Unfortunately, it was very dark and bitter, and I didn't enjoy it. The desserts are definitely a highlight.
Parking: free, street parking Maison Alyzée has two locations : Mountain View and Burlingame. Founded in 2018 by Lyon native Laurent Pellet. Fun fact: Alyzée" is the name of the owner's daughter. It boasts marble counters, bistro-style tables, and outdoor seating on Castro Street to mimic the South of France. The owner recruited pastry chefs who relocated from France specifically for this endeavor. They also have monthly flavor, for example for May 2026: "Strawberry Bliss" cake. I totally recommend: mixed berry tart, coffee eclairs. The cakes and pastries are on the higher end price, perfect to surprise someone's birthday or special occasion or even to brighten your day with high quality artisan bakeries goods.
Found dessert heaven in Mountain View.The Harmony cake at Maison Alyzée is nextlevel rich n the Strawberry Bliss is light and delicious n a fresh espresso shot ties it all together. Beautiful presentation and amazing flavors definitely a must try spot!
Walked in around 8:30pm, craving a pastry. Definitely found the right spot. What stood out to me was a sign that said "French Butter croissant". The owner graciously explained all their pastries (pain au chocolat, crossiant, etc) are made from french butter and french chocolate and that no other bakeries really use french butter. He said there r only 2 truly french bakeries in SF and 1 in Oakland and one here which is his own bakery. I bit into the pain du chocolat and it was deeelicious. I love all the layers in the crossiant and a hard crunch with delicious chocolate in the middle. So flaky and buttery. Wow we went back for another so i can enjoy one for breakfast. Thank u Elie for the great insights and pastries!! Made my night :)
I got a chance to try some of the pastries from Maison Alyzee because some were brought into work. I tried the savory pastry which was had ingredients similar to that of a pizza. The pastry was flakey and buttery. The chocolate Croissant was just as buttery and flakey with a sweet chocolate filling. I am looking forward to visiting the bakery and check it out personally now that I sampling of what they have to offer.
Really lovely French style patisserie with a variety of flavors and textures of pastries and cakes! One of my go to's for higher end cakes during special occasions :D Owners and chefs and staff are all very sweet and accommodating and you can tell they genuinely love their craft and sharing it with the community! They have rotating seasonal items and also accept ordering larger cakes through online orders or by calling in! Their 100% pistachio cake is amazing - not too sweet and the pistachio flavor really comes through but doesn't overpower. Very creamy texture that isn't too heavy and has a fun, crunchy outer shell. The matcha raspberry is also nice and balanced - matcha flavor complements well with the raspberry gel / jam inside and is mellowed out by the cream. Inside is very chic and great place to chat and catch up over a cup of coffee and even get some work done - water station and wifi is inside.
I came by the Chinese bakery but they were closed. Maison Alyzee was next door and had no line. It was the first time I could go in easily and see a full line of desserts they had. I love desserts and the French are number one in that category. I came from Yutori after buying so much that I squeezed in Madison's dessert, Padova Mandarin Yuzu. The clerk said it needs to refrigerate promptly or else eat right away. I had no choice but to stop by the library's park and eat that along with my tuna egg sando from Yutori. The Yuzu dessert was cool and refreshing. It's good to pair with tea. I'll have to come back and try more desserts. They all look so good to try.
Came by for some pastries the other day and it was a decent experience. After spending some time in Paris where bakeries are on every other street corner, I had high hopes! Their desserts looked great and were rather pricey, compared with Paris. The quality of the pastries were ok, although the ones in Paris were much much better. Staff were friendly and cordial.
OK spot for a sweet treat! We had dinner prior at Doppio...so by the time we got around to Maison, they only had a limited variety available. Nice ambiance inside, with some seating.
Downtown Mountain View is a great area to window shop and walk around to try new spots. I was able to drop by Maison Alyzee because of their pastries. I recommend knowing what you want before getting in line since you pick out pastries on the spot. The workers were super friendly and quick to pack our order. They were sweet to also helped us set up a table (outdoor seating)! We ordered the Passiano, Coffee Eclair, Matcha Raspberry, Lemon Tart, and Pistachio Cake. All of the desserts were yummy and easy to share. I definitely recommend the Matcha Raspberry. I would visit again and try other pastries!
We Ordered this to go, and it was a treat; I personally loved the pistachio tart; and my husband loved their coconut pineapple tart and chocolate passion. They were all sweet, and rich, but delicious for a once in a while indulgence treat. The chocolate for me was 4/5; super unique Coconut pineapple tart was 3.5/5 Pistachio 5/5 but it's rich and heavy! Overall great spot
I finally stopped by this bakery after dinner after passing by so many times and am glad I did! Overall, if you are looking for a spot that serves high quality desserts that look fancy, this is a great option. The interior is small and gives a Parisian aesthetic and would be a cute spot to grab a coffee and pastry with a friend. Matcha Raspberry: as someone who doesn't like desserts too sweet, I really enjoyed this. The matcha cake was really moist and light at the same time. The raspberry jam was super tart and thus some might think it was overpowering in comparison to the matcha, but I did think it was a nice punch. The matcha cream on top was my favorite. It was super light and surprisingly had a strong, deep matcha flavor. This was my favorite of the 3. Coffee eclair: I thought that this would be my favorite as a coffee lover but it fell a little flat for me. The cream smelled more strong in coffee flavor than it actually tasted. The pastry was also a bit dense and soft, which was probably attributed to the time of day so I don't fault them for that. I would be willing to try this again but overall it wasn't my favorite. Tiramisu: I love tiramisu but admit that it can be very rich and too sweet at times but I was so surprised with this one. The best description for it was that it was very light in texture (almost cloud like) which was definitely welcomed. It also wasnt too overpoweringly sweet. I do wish that the coffee flavor was more pronounced. It mostly just tasted a lot like chocolate and cream. Be careful of the cocoa powder in top though! I definitely almost choked . This was my second favorite. I would definitely be interested in trying out their other desserts and look forward to that in the future :)
TLDR : Amazing collection of wonderful desserts! Maison Alyzee has been our go to for amazing desserts In the bay. Just love all their items and hard to go wrong with the choice here! 100% recommended!

I loved it here.Point blank period. I do wish to have the opportunity to actually dine in though. Sit in with my laptop and work a few hours at this shop would be a wonderful experience. The inside was so sleek. The cakes were so delicious. I'll be sure to come back again. read more

Madison Alyzee is a nice place to pick up desserts for a partner for a special occasion. The desserts themselves have 10/10 presentation, and the taste is nearly up to par. The service is also fast, even if the line is long. I only knock it down to 4 stars as their macaroons are substantially too sweet, and I couldn't finish them. read more

Beautiful Presentation, But the Flavors Fell Flat Maison Alyzee (Downtown Mountain View) I was excited to finally try Maison Alyzee, as the pastries are absolutely stunning behind the glass. This patisserie is clearly popular; the lines were long, but the front-of-house staff handled the rush with genuinely sweet and attentive customer service--no complaints there! However, after spending the past few months tasting pastries all over the Bay Area for my birthday, I have to be honest: the actual execution of the flavors didn't match the beautiful presentation. The Breakdown: * The Look: 10/10. Truly Instagram-worthy, high-end French aesthetic. * The Vibe: Busy, a bit of a wait, but staff were lovely. * The Taste: 5/10. This is where it went sideways for me. I found the flavor combinations across the pastries I tried to be a little strange and jarring rather than harmonious. They felt challenging for my palate, and unfortunately, none of them rose to the level of "absolutely amazing" that I was expecting. When you're seeking a top-tier, memorable flavor experience, Maison Alyzee doesn't quite hit the mark, especially given the competition in our area. Bottom Line: I won't be returning. It's a gorgeous spot with nice people, but the pastries just didn't deliver on taste. My hunt for the next truly delicious Bay Area patisserie continues. read more

I love love love coming here!!!! The pastries are beyond incredible! I usually only come on the weekend and every time there is always a line. Sometimes the line can be out the door, or just up by the cash register. It moves relatively fast. There is inside and outside seating. I've never sat since it's usually all taken up. In addition to pastries they serve a variety of coffees and breakfast and lunch items. You can order it and pay for it at the counter and they will bring it to you as you sit. read more

Paid by card. Maison Alyzee is located on the street and offers street parking. I went in on a Wednesday morning and 1 person was ahead of me in line, so I didn't have to wait long to be helped. Everything looked so good and it was hard to decide what to get. The employee was very nice and patient with me while I tried to decide what to get. Great customer service! I chose an almond croissant, Kougeloff, and Green tea, and was happy with my choices. It was comfortable to sit in the cute shop, but I would say it's better for small parties and not for large groups. I would recommend this place and would go back. read more

This place has the most DECADENT hot chocolate I have ever had in a coffee and pastry establishment. And since it was my first time here, I obviously had to have both their regular hot chocolate and hazelnut hot chocolate! Each cup had a dollop of what tasted like hot fudge and Nutella right at the top so you instantly get that chocolate kick. I made the mistake of getting a wooden stick to mix the drink up assuming that I was helping that dollop blend with the hot liquid but I ended up with a drink that had the consistency of hot syrup. I was in desperate need for a cup of milk to spoon the hot chocolate into and get it to a consistency where it could be called hot chocolate again haha. Despite that, I'd still recommend the hot chocolate at this place! Just skip the stirring and keep the dollop as a bonus chocolate topping. I also got an assortment of macarons to enjoy my drink with but they tasted light in flavor and it was difficult to distinguish one from another. The interior of the place is cute and cozy. And the staff brings your ordered items to your table! read more
This is our go to for birthday cakes on Castro street and it has not disappointed us yet. The staff is always so nice and helpful, making it feel like a very friendly and nice bakery. The Passiano is amazing and so cute. It has a perfect balance of fruity and soft mousse to balance it out. The Harmony cake taste like a giant ferrero rocher. It's delightful and such a treat. read more

This place is the best bakery in Mountain View! I love coming here with friends or family and especially on a date night with my beau. Order anything, you won't go wrong! Friendly service, well kept in cleanliness and the sitting area is perfect for small groups of 5 or less. Definitely coming back for more unique combination desserts, the classic French pastries and lunch specials. read more

A cafe I stumbled upon purely by accident. The cafe I actually wanted to visit across the street was too busy and had no free tables, so I came here instead. The service is quite slow. There wasn't a long line, but the cashier took the order and then escorted us to the other side to pay, while the rest of the team, well just moved around. They had baked goods on display, and I noticed a sign that read 'Raspberry Nest,' which looked very interesting, featuring pistachio paste, anyway. I placed an order for it, and the person taking my order politely replied, "We're out of it," which is fine, but why display it? However, their baked goods are top-notch. From pastries to puff pastries, they were delicious, so I overlooked everything else, even the mediocre coffee. I got the almond croissant, pistachio cake, and iced mocha. The almond croissant was perfectly fresh, flaky, with almond paste, just delicious. The 100% pistachio (single-serve cake) looked and tasted amazing. The white chocolate crust cracks into soft cake, mousse, and praline layered over each other. The cake wasn't too sweet, and I feared it would have an artificial, chemical taste that most nut extracts have, but it didn't. Everything I ordered was visually appealing and tasted great, and they didn't break my bank. I also bought a pack of six chocolate macarons for my nephew, which were also excellent. read more

The Signature Chocolate Tart and Coffee Éclair are my go-to treats at this place--I have to order them every single time. The chocolate tart is rich, smooth, and perfectly indulgent without being overly sweet, while the coffee éclair has a lovely creamy filling with just the right coffee flavor. They are consistently delicious and easily the highlights of every visit. read more

I've been here a few times now and honestly, everything I've tried has been fantastic. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It's quickly become one of my favorite spots. Elie, the manager, is so friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful -- he makes you feel so welcome every time. The cafe is clean and there's also seating outside. My favorite things have been the chocolate chip cookie, the spinach croissant and the raspberry pistachio tart. Highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful experiencing eating delicious and unique pastrys after our dinner. Everything we selected was delicious and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Our desserts were served to us outside where we decided to sit, which was perfect. The inside and outside seating is plentiful. There were umbrellas for shade if needed, but we didn't need it with all of the trees nearby. Gastro Maestro approved! read more

wow, what can i say! easily the best posh patisserie with absolutely delicious desserts. whenever we fancy something with hazelnut, we always go for the harmony - it's a proper treat. everything else is lovely too, but if i had to pick, it's harmony every time. the place is beautiful inside and the service is always excellent. read more
Came in on a rainy day after Christmas to grab coffee and dessert in Castro street. The place seems to be popular with a lot of folks sitting and working and / or grabbing a snack. My husband and I ordered cappuccino and pistachio dessert. The ambience is lively and service was quick. The pistachio desert wasn't that great and was expensive ($12) for a tart so will not recommend that. Overall vibes were good and location is perfect so will be back to grab an afternoon drink! read more

My friend and I came here around lunch time on a Sunday, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to easily grab some seats. We got a handful of pastries, breakfast food, and drinks. I absolutely loved my omelette! It was flavorful, and the side salad was very fresh. I thought the pastries, while undeniably beautiful, overall were okay. read more

Service: The price of the item advertised was not what was charged at checkout. When the discrepancy was brought forward, the cashier was unhelpful and rude. stating "Do you want it or not?" She was also training another colleague who will now believe this to be acceptable behavior. It is illegal to advertise one price and then charge another, and this company is doing so. Food: Lemon Tart - 3/10, all white icing, short on lemon. Whole Foods is better in comparison, around 6.5/10. There is an excellent bakery across the street (https://www.alexanderspatisserie.com/) that holds the current top spot for lemon tarts. Ambiance: It was well laid out, normal in comparison to most other stores on this street selling baked goods. read more

I ordered a passion fruit dessert and a hazelnut hot chocolate, and both were excellent. The dessert was bright and well balanced, not overly sweet. The hazelnut hot chocolate was the standout, a true European-style hot chocolate, rich, thick, and made in house. It wasn't cloying or sugary, just deeply flavorful. My only regret is not ordering a croissant to dunk into the hot chocolate, which I will absolutely do next time. Highly recommend if you appreciate quality desserts and thoughtfully made drinks. read more
I love me a good french patisserie! My friends and I stumbled on Maison Alyzee while strolling downtown Mountain View after dinner. They have a large outdoor patio to enjoy a nice dessert and chat on a nice evening. Indoor seating is limited. Their selection of desserts, pastries, and cakes, automatically draws you in. It's so hard to choose! They're all so enticing and beautiful. We chose to share the harmony and a lemon tart. If you are a chocolate lover, you MUST get the harmony. It gives, decadent chocolate hazelnut brownie mousse. Everything you could ever want a in a little cake. The lemon tart tasted fresh and the pastry was delicious and crispy. I paired this with a decaf espresso. *chefs kiss* read more

I've been coming to the Mountain View location pretty regularly for the past few months now and it's easily become my go-to spot. Every time I come in the quality is just consistently great, which is why I keep coming back. This time I got the apple tart and one of their chocolate entremets. The apple tart had caramelized apples on the pastry and it wasn't too sweet, just right. The presentation on everything they make is honestly next level. Staff is always friendly and the space has a really nice vibe to it. If you're anywhere near Castro Street and haven't tried this place yet you're missing out. Best French pastries I've had around here, no question. read more

Located in downtown Mountain View, Maison Alyzee has been one of my favorite bakery shops to bring goods up when I visit. Although prices are on the more expensive side, you do pay for the quality and presentation of their goods. On this trek, I got three pastries: Pear Tart, Passionfruit Cheesecake, and the Pistachio Cake. I really loved the pistachio cake because it wasn't too sweet and the natural flavors really shined. The shop isn't too large but was fairly clean and there were a few people working inside. The staff was super friendly in helping provide me with recommendations on what pastries I would like. Definitely would return when I am back! read more

A nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating! There was a line when we came around 11AM on a Sunday but it moved quickly. Indoor seating was a bit impacted though. They have a wide variety of pastries, so I'd definitely come back to try others next time. - Kouign Aman (3/5): just a bit dry - Lime tart (4/5): loved the meringue and texture of the tart shell read more
The Instagram ads brought me to Maison Alyzée with a promise of fine French tradition and savoir faire baked into a pie. And as luck would have it, I needed a pie for Thanksgiving. So that's how I found myself in the busy patisserie on the weekend before Thanksgiving. The place was a window into France. Jams, teas, coffees, and Advent calendars lined the shelves behind the registers. Staff placed pastries and cakes on display as quickly as customers ordered them. The line moved quickly as people chatted in French and English. It wasn't long before the staff attended to me, and I asked to order ahead for a six-person apple pie. The staff asked me what day I wanted to pick up my pie, and we decided on Thanksgiving Day at noon. I paid for the pie, took my receipt, and went on my way. I came back to Maison Alyzée with my receipt in hand on Thanksgiving Day. The place was busy as ever; people picked up pies, cakes, and other delights for their Thanksgiving meals. I handed my receipt to the staff, and as expected, I got my pie. Busy as they were, staff took the time to explain to me that the pie needed to be refrigerated within thirty minutes of leaving the patisserie, and that the pie could be taken out of the fridge up to an hour to warm up to room temperature before serving. Seamless service! The pie was a sight to behold. Apple slices rested on a French-style crust like a flower in bloom, all topped with a flourish of whipped mascarpone cream. Finished with gold leaf that dazzled the eyes, this tarte aux pommes was splendor, elegance, and spectacle. The pie was a hit with my family too. "Wow!" they said when we opened the box. "Not too sweet!" they said with the first bite. The pie was a delight! The sweet glaze highlighted the spiced, tart apple slices, and a hint of almond added depth. All these were supported by the rich, earthy flavors of the pie crust. This was one of the nicest pies I've had the joy of sharing with family. I had a great experience from Maison Alyzée, and I'll definitely recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Came ready to splurge and enjoy some good food. Did indeed splurge but did not enjoy the mediocre food. Omelette was not French style... looked like a sad diner omelette. I hardly ever waste food but was so disappointed and stopped after 2 bites. The drip coffee was bitter and the pastries were okay. Server was apologetic but nothing was offered. read more
This place is my newest obsession! Came twice in the past 3 weeks :)) ordered the pistachio cake and the black sesame dessert. Both were so beautifully made and not too sweet. I can tell so much craft goes into these. Definitely not the cheapest desserts but I think it's worth the price considering how many components go into each one. The interior is super cute and service is kind! Look forward to coming again! read more
