    I finally stopped by Alexandria Pastry Shop, and wow… this place is such a hidden gem in Alexandria! The moment you walk in, the café feels bright, cozy, and inviting, warm lighting, pretty flowers on the tables, and a clean, comfortable space where you can relax and enjoy your treats. I ordered a few things to try, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The eggs omelette so delicious. The berry pastry was my favorite, perfectly flaky, buttery, and topped with fresh blackberries and blueberries. The blueberry cake slice was soft, moist, and full of flavor. The chocolate mousse cake tasted rich and smooth with just the right sweetness. And the ham and cheese sandwich was simple but delicious warm, cheesy, and made with fresh bread. A great savory balance to all the sweets! The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re craving pastries, coffee, or a light meal, this is definitely a perfect spot to sit down and enjoy your day. I’ll definitely be coming back! 💕🍰✨

    My family and I have been frequenting Alexandria Pastry Shop since the early 90s. Throughout the years they have kept up amazing levels of quality with their pastries and cakes. They’ve been our go to for many birthdays and other special events where we’ve needed a cake. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Great value and quality.

    Have been coming to this shop for years. Quality and service (i.e. behavior and, how long you wait when ordering in store) have gone way down but prices up. I write this today as I found a hair in my sandwich. The only positive for me right now is the one guy who works there that is very kind. It seems like he’s always running around but maintains a friendly demeanor.

    It was good, but not sure I need to go again when in town. Nice to try something different. I got a pistachio cake, brownie, peanut butter chocolate bar, and an apple turnover. I'm sure those aren't the official names.

    [GREEN MOLD ON CAKE] Updated Review: I purchased the cake on 10/7 around 6 PM, close to the store’s closing time. I placed it in the refrigerator and ate a slice around 8:30 PM, where I discovered green mold on middle of the cake (see time and date of pictures taken-along with cake transaction). The next morning (10/8), after experiencing food poisoning. I immediately called the store to request that the rest of the cakes from that batch be removed from the counter, but I was told no manager was available the entire day. Even if the store doesn’t want to take accountability for the mold, it clearly shows a lack of proper food storage or handling, since mold does not develop within just two hours of purchasing a cake. (Original review): I was really disappointed with my order — I found green mold on my slice of cake, and unfortunately, I ended up getting food poisoning after eating it. This was very concerning and made me question the food safety and storage practices. I hope the business takes this seriously and ensures better quality control so no one else has to go through the same experience.
