    Such a beautiful Bakery in a row of many. Exceptional coffees and pastries. The chocolate croissant was so buttery and flaky. Beautiful soft and my only regret was that I didnt buy another. What a wonderful location on Burlingame Ave after we did some walking at the Farmers Market up the street. What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday. The best part is that it closes late, which for a Sunday was unbelievable. I truly cant wait to return.

    love this

    Go to dessert place :-), never miss after a kebab / yakitori lunch or dinner - a bit pricey though but it's something worth your money

    What a scam!!! Typically there's a discount when you buy more, but not here not at this French bakery. If you do the Math, they charge you a premium the more macaroons you buy

    First time at Maison Alyzée was on the evening of Thursday, October 26, 2023. Ray, Pete and I walked in shortly before 9 PM for some caffeine after our dinner event at Rise Pizzeria, just down the street. Maison Alyzée is a French fine pastry bakery café located on downtown Burlingame's main strip. Dedicated to providing customers with a Parisian escape through handcrafted elegant pastries and artisanal breads, the bake shoppe doubles as pâtisserie and boulangerie, priding itself on meticulous attention to detail. Upon entry, we were welcomed by a brightly lit and very clean venue. Ray and I were immediately drawn to the beautiful marble-topped white counter that encased a gorgeous variety of exquisite treats. The commitment to the elegance of French culture and modern creativity were evident in every luxurious pastry and cake on display. Maison Alyzée is an order-at-the-counter establishment, so we made our purchase with a friendly staff member at the register. Unfortunately, we were told that espresso drinks were no longer available that night since the staff had already begun cleaning the machines. Ok....I never understand businesses that start shutting down things before closing time. This just shows customers that team convenience of closing shop quickly takes precedence over customer experience, essentially omitting availability of items from the menu while they are still open. For this reason, I am docking a star. Luckily, they still had some cold brew available, so I ordered a Lavender Cold Brew with oat milk. Heads-up: Plant-based milks like almond and oat milk incur a $0.75 surcharge. I wish that the lavender was more like a simple syrup, so that the flavour was sweeter and less sharp. Maison Alyzée also offers a selection of breakfast, lunch, and brunch options. I definitely need to return to try one or two or a few of their ostentatious delights.

    I got a a cannel de Bordeaux it was alright would have been better with custard filling for $5 The other deserts looked good but no pricing on anything ! I would return but suggesting pricing on items

    I love desserts and I love pistacchio flavors - this 100% pistacchio cake is just magnificent! Perfect, I would say, crunchy on the outside, creamy icing on top, and not too sweet. Their flan is unique, but also superb as well as the chocolate cake. Staff were helpful and pleasant, spacious area.

    I remember back when I first discovered Maison Alyzee, I was almost instantly intrigued. The cute decor and outdoor seating for starters, but, more significantly, how good their array of pastries and sweet treats looked. So good, in fact, that it was also readily apparent that they weren't cheap. Not a problem in and of itself, but certainly so when the overall experience falls so disappointingly short... Given how different they are compared to the majority of bakeries and patisseries in this part of the Bay Area (even for Burlingame), Maison Alyzee is a great addition to Burlingame Ave. While their selection of goodies includes a number of classic offerings (croissants, almond croissants, pain au chocolat, kouign amann, etc.), they also have a lot of lesser seen items, as well as a variety of gorgeous looking desserts, like tiramisu, pies, cakes, tarts, galettes, cookies, and macarons. In addition, they have a handful of hot offerings, like omelettes, quiche, and croque monsieur/madame, as well as sandwiches, salads, and even some breakfast combos (pastry and drink). -- LEMON TART Not too shabby, though, I wouldn't say it was among the best I've had. The lemon curd had a nice tartness and consistency to it and I thought the crust was solid. That said, I thought it had a bit too much meringue, as all that sweetness overshadowed the lemon curd. -- STRAWBERRY FRUIT TART Not sure they make this anymore (they've only had mixed berry the last few times I've stopped in), but this was actually my favorite thing I've tried. The strawberries were super fresh, the custard was creamy and not too sugary, and the buttery crust was terrific! -- MARBLE QUATRE QUART CAKE Nothing amazing, but nothing to complain about either. While I wish the marbling had been better and that the flavors had been stronger, the taste of the vanilla and chocolate complemented each other really well. Plus, the cake was surprisingly moist, too. -- KOUIGN AMANN I was super hopeful for this one, but it was a bust. The bottom (top?) had a gooey, caramelized crust and the dough was nicely layered, but everything else was a miss for us. The texture of the dough bordered on dry, especially the outside, and this tasted shockingly bland. -- RASPBERRY PISTACHIO NEST On the plus side, this was pretty unique and I liked how the sweetness of the raspberry complemented the pistachio's more savory flavor. On the other hand, it felt like this had a disproportionate amount of dough relative to the amount of filling you get. One thing about Maison Alyzee that feels rather nonsensical to me is their ordering process. The front portion of their display case/counter is full of their various pastries yet none of them are labeled, so there is no way to tell what their more unique offerings are or how much they cost. Sure, the workers are happy to help, but, a lot of times, your turn comes up when you're close to the register, so you have to awkwardly squeeze by everyone to go back to point out what you want (and then squeeze by again) or try to describe what they looked like. It'd sure be helpful if they posted a copy of the menu on that end of the counter instead of leaving them at the register (unless we just didn't see it). As for the actual service, the workers themselves are friendly enough, but it feels inconsistent and rather slow/inefficient. The times I've picked up stuff to-go, I've been in and out in a breeze. However, we dined in this time and even though the place didn't look particularly busy, it still took a curiously long time for us to get our two coffees and two pastries...the latter of which were even warmed up! The couple ahead of us in line had to wait even longer for their order, which was similar to ours, yet another person that came in after us got her pastry and coffee just a few minutes after ordering and sitting down. Weird. Given how I've found Maison Alyzee's desserts and sweet confections to be far more successful, I'd definitely be more inclined to come back for those than the pastries or some of their other dishes. Along those lines, plus points for staying open (relatively) late until 9pm, which makes this place an option for a small dessert. However, even then, it doesn't make up for how expensive so many things are, either. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

    ughhhh i hate that i love everything here bc its just soooo expensive and i cant justify paying the price of an entire meal for a single pastry. i ordered the pineapple coconut yuzu one this time, and it was sooo good. the quality of the entrement with the crispy butteriness of the base just complements so well and i love te taste of it all!!! love the outdoor seating as always!

    We loved everything we ordered and its great that it's open till late so we could enjoy our pastry dessert and coffee after dinner at a nearby restaurant. Cozy chic spot right in the heart of Burlingame :) loved the friendly service, good quality products and clean premises. They had both inside and outdoor seating which was very inviting. In $50 (before tip) we got: - cappuccino - 5/5 - hot and great taste. Perfect portion size. No need to add sugar as it paired great with the desserts just like that - signature chocolate tart - 5/5 - this was surprisingly good. I hope i got the name right. Delicious and dense dark chocolate wooed me in - fruit tart - 5/5 - kiddo loved it and it had good quality berries - chocolate eclair - 5/5 - fancy looking and filled with chocolate. Great texture! Definitely coming back for more soon. The macaroons and coffee eclair looked tempting as well.

    Hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate pastry
    Angelique S.

    The quality of the pastries are amazing! Cute shop with European feel if you sit outside. Workers are friendly. I advise going earlier in the day for more selection. I went near closing time. Was still able to walk away with a chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio based pastry.

    Fancy French Patisserie (Dessert Place) with Coffee. Excellent pastries! Friendly, attentive service. Perfect place for a quick after dinner date. We had the Lemon Meringue here. Each of their wide varieties of desserts is beautifully executed. I'd come here more often if my waistline would let me! Next time, I'll try their Tiramisu, or one of their Pistachio-based desserts. Definitely worth a visit and a great place to finish off the evening after a meal and a stroll from anywhere nearby. They do catering too, and I think they would do a fantastic job.. Hey Transit Fans! Take the Caltrain here to the Historic Burliingame Depot, and walk the two blocks to get here.. It's awesome! No Transit, No problem! Plenty of parking here for your personal round-wheeled conveyance, whether it be an automobile, bike or most anything else. Public parking lots abound.. Nice job, Burlingame!

    Chocolate cake? and 100% pisachio cake
    Henry H.

    My wife came and got some deserts from Maison Alyzée to go. She got: 100% pistachio - 5 / 5 The pastry had a nice grinded pistachio in them which was thick. While it is a cake like desert, the texture was a little closer to a brownie instead. It wasn't very sweet and I am okay with it because the pistachio taste was amplified but if you are looking for something sweeter, this may not be the one for you. Thick chocolate cake? - 4 / 5 It tasted good. The chocolate was thick and strong. If you're a chocolate lover, this one is for you. This chocolate taste is most likely something you have had before so it's not earth shattering. Yet, this mini cake is still a solid choice to be had. Maison Alyzée offers some of the most unique desert that you don't find just anywhere. You can tell from the desert that the pastry chef definitely honed in on their craft to create unique deserts. Yes, it may taste familiar to things you have had in the past but you've probably never seen it displayed in a shop and that's not mass produced. Yes, the desert here is not cheap but this store would be the representation of you pay what you get.

I watched their reactions when taking the first sip, it was a lot of head nodding and thumbs upping to their friends so I felt like I had to go in and try for myself. Went in and ordered an earl gray matcha and my partner ordered a passion mango tea w boba. The matcha & the passion fruit was so good! The boba was chewy and sweet. I would definitely recommend coming and trying! I really wanted to try their strawberry matcha but I'm always so skeptical (I have trust issues w bad strawb matchas) but the earl gray was good, so maybe I'll try next visit. The interior was nice, menu was straight forward on the wall and on the check out table -- only thing is the description of the drinks weren't shown on the menus until you're on the self check out kiosk. I was curious about the sunny side up matcha thinking it was made with real egg yolk (which I thought kinda weird?) but the kiosk said that it was mango.

The second time, I ordered a matcha einspanner, and he got the hojicha einspanner again. Maybe I'm just not too familiar with how to drink einspanners, but the cream pretty much sat on top of the drink. At first, I was mostly just drinking the matcha, which was fine because it was flavorful and seemed to be good quality. Once I got toward the end of the drink, that's when I started tasting the cream. The cream was a little too thick for my liking and left a film-like texture in my mouth, which I didn't love. Since I enjoyed the overall flavor of the drink, I'll give it a 4! The ambiance is cute, and the service was easy. You just order from a kiosk, and they call your name once your drink is ready. The first time I went was on a weekend, and the line was out the door. This time, I went on a weekday, and it was pretty empty. If you're looking for a sweet, caffeinated drink as a pick-me-up, I'd recommend trying it at least once.

The room is quietly elegant, its Middle Eastern influences expressed through considered décor rather than theatrical excess. There is an appealing sense of decorum here; a place designed to encourage lingering rather than turnover. The coffee is similarly assured. Turkish coffee possesses the requisite depth and bitterness, while the rose-cardamom-honey latte introduces floral sweetness and spice with admirable restraint. The pastries and sweets--particularly the baklava and kunafeh--provide a luxurious counterpoint without descending entirely into confectionery excess.

I can't really say anything about the atmosphere or service since I didn't physically visit this store. What I can say, though, is that Backhaus serves some stellar baked goods from everything I was able to try. Kouign Amann ($6) - This pastry has a nice tighter brioche-like crumb, clearly constructed without trying to be a croissant like so many other bakeries. There's an excellent thin sugar glaze melted on the bottom. It almost shatters like glass and is not too sweet. Sugar soaks into a pocket on the interior, creating a sweet, soft, almost pudding-like texture. (5/5) Almond Croissant ($7.75) - Really open lamination, airy and chewy. Cut in half and slathered with a dark brown colored almond frangipane. It's by far the darkest rendition I've seen and seems to have higher moisture content than most, so it soaks into the croissant, creating a soggy texture. It's also not strongly almond in flavor for some reason. The sliced almond on top powers the pastry far more than the filling. The croissant is good but definitely not my favorite. (4/5) Croissant Loaf ($22) - At first I thought this croissant loaf was really expensive, but I think it's well worth the price. Firstly, it's quite long. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it's baked in one of the larger pullman loaf pans, probably at least 16 inches. The interior, while not having as large honeycomb air pockets as a normal croissant, still flake apart easily into layers. The loaf is compressed a bit from being baked in the pan, rather than having the freedom to openly rise. It's deliciously buttery inside, while the exterior is a dark golden brown that flakes apart. Unfortunately they bag the loaf up, so the exterior flakiness softens due to the moisture trapped in the plastic. It's still an excellent croissant loaf and it works wonderfully in sandwiches, as French Toast, and eaten just by itself. (5/5) I wish Backhaus had been open back when I lived in the Bay. I will definitely visit in person next time I fly down.

    Wow what a find! We arrived and the line was out the door 15 min after they opened (a good sign)…read more All of their pastries looked so good, we asked the woman working which were top sellers and she recommended any croissant or scone. We chose the blueberry oatmeal scone, which was delicious, tasted almost like a cookie.

To drink we all got cardamom lattes, hot. For some reason the drinks came out extremely hot, like I couldn't even pick up my mug without burning my fingers. After it cooled down for 10 minutes, it was really good but perhaps the baristas need to adjust their milk frothing temperature? The space is really cool, they have an upstairs section and if you sit by the window you get a nice view of the outside. They do not have outlets, so it's not designed to sit at all day and study.
