I've been on an absolute tear with scoping in on the best pizzas in Seattle, and it came as no…read moresurprise to me that one of my top spots is primarily a French bakery. Alexandra's may be known for slinging out beautiful Macarons, but you all know I'm only here for the beautiful pies that they ONLY make on Thursdays. The pizza professionals here are certified chillers. They made me want to open up my own bakery, but there's no way that I could be as cool as them (or bake good food). We pulled up to take our pizzas to go, and we were frozen in place after the viewing the strikingly gorgeous cakes on display. It was destiny telling us that we indeed needed dessert that night, so we decided to order one of both. Little did we know that they were about to give us the largest slices of cake we've ever seen - they lasted 3 nights! But let me tell you about the pizzas. Both of these were out of this world, and so creative. French onion soup on a pizza? That is genius. They're taking the best elements of the dish, but making it into pizza instead of soup. Who wouldn't want that? And then they had a summer special with a white sauce, squash and ricotta. A wonderfully light pizza, but with HEAVY flavor. Everyone always told me growing up that the crust is the best part of pizza. I never understood that, it just seemed like a strange lie that was perpetuated by Big Bread. But Alexandra's has made me a believer in Crust Nation. The bake on this pie is one of the best I've EVER had anywhere. I actually wanted more crust after I was done. Now I want pizza every Thursday!

When I lived in Seattle this was my go to bakery, and now that I have moved across the country I…read moremiss it so much! Petit Pierre's croissants are the best I have had the US so far, and rival the croissants I have had in France. They are the perfect amount of flaky and buttery without being greasy and falling apart. Their seasonal croissants are always excellent as well (Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner croissants!!!) and the rotating flavors for croissant supremes and cruffins are usually unique and always delicious. I highly recommend the Bacon, egg, and cheese croissant for breakfast! The cinnamon rolls are great too. I have also gotten a birthday cake and epiphany cakes here and they were top notch as well. Thank you for all the amazing treats!! My pro tip is to visit the Magnolia location and get pastries to go, then drive 5min to Ella Bailey park for a beautiful view of the city and Mt. Rainier (if it's a clear day!)!!

Omg, every single baked food we tried was insanely tasty. The standout was definitely the pistachio croissant! Loved the filling the super crumbly texture. The mousse cake was sooooooo indulgent and the scone had a great flavor, although they should cut down on the baking soda a bit. We also tried their Cortado and caramel latte. The ambience is a bit basic, but who cares when the food is soooo good.

Two small 3" diameter x 2" deep gelatos cost us an astounding 17 dollars. Gelatos were nothing to get excited about, and they also left a gritty texture in our mouths. If two little cups of gelatos are 17 dollars, then lord knows how much the macaroons will cost us. We're not going back.

When I arrived there was only one worker, so the line moved extremely slow. When it was my turn I was expecting to just pick up my cake and go, but the order had to be packaged on the spot. I ended up waiting in line for 30 min total for a cake box I had pre-ordered. The box was around $60, so I expected better portions and service for the price. The cakes are beautiful and have unique flavors. But the pricing and the service should definitely be improved - especially for preorders.

I was so excited to try this place as my friend had highly recommended it to me…read more The interior is beautiful, I loved how the space looked inside. Service was great as well, the person behind the counter took her time explaining the flavor options and was patient with me as I selected a flavor. I tried the Keel Bill. The cake itself was super pretty, I loved the decorations. The flavors were very unique, not what you'd find at a typical bakery, which made it all the cooler. The flavor pairings were amazing and spot on (lychee gel was the best part), however the texture of the sponge cake ruined it for me. I paid $9 for a tiny slice (could have been bigger) that was super dry. Did not enjoy eating it. Sadly, they have so much potential, I was so looking forward to it.

I want to love this place more because it is so local and they have some great programs, but it just never seems to be it. Most of the employees I have met are not super friendly, the seating is a bit odd, and while the drip coffee is great it is 3.5 for a cup with no refills. I do love that they don't play any super loud music in the shop though so it is just normally filled with chatter which is nice.

Staff is nice and patient and answers questions without you feeling like you're annoying them. Heads up there is no bathroom at the Interbay location. Probably smart on them given the riff raff that probably walks by their bakery but it's more of a grab n go place anyways.
