A wonderful spot with room for improvement. I love the location, and the cafe is cute and cozy. Amazing music the two days I went there.
Sadly, the cappuccinos could be better. The second day I went my cappuccino wasn’t hot enough. The first day my frittata wasn’t warm enough, but it was delicious. The second day we waited 40 minutes for savory waffles. Delicious but almost cold when we got them, and way too expensive for one waffle, one egg and a bit of
ricotta.
I loved the sit down Saturday brunch service but they might be stretching themselves a bit thin.

Excellent spot to sate your brunch and baked cravings. The cheesy croissant was perfectly flaky and savory. Rarely do you get this level of perfection in a croissant. For this alone I’ll be a repeat customer!
The savory waffles were quite interesting with a medley of flavors including maple syrup! The fried egg and the cheddar jalapeno cornbread combo really go well together. The sandie was equally flavorful and decadent.
My only complaint was the chai. It was made with a chai mix of sorts and it tasted like chai flavored milk instead of actual chai. But this is a Seattle thing. So they are excused!
Edit: incredible curry tomato soup and frittata. Drip coffee needs some help

Nut allergy warning: As always, macarons use almond flour, so avoid pastries.
Review is primarily for their drinks. We came in at around 9AM on a Friday morning and there weren’t that many people there. I ordered their matcha latte and my partner ordered the cold brew. Drinks were ready in less than five minutes.
Cold Brew: 3/5. Had a slightly sour note, indicating that it might have been a little old or brewed slightly too long. I will say I liked it better than some other nearby options in terms of the flavor of the roast and not being diluted by ice.
Matcha Latte: 4/5. Nice earthy flavor. I’d order this again.
A friend came by later to look around and noted that there were a number of flies on the macarons, so I would examine those carefully before ordering any.

My wife and I are so lucky to have Alexandra’s in our neighborhood. We’ve been regulars there for their pizza queen nights since we moved here in 2022. When the time came to start planning our wedding we were so excited that Alexandra’s could be the site for our rehearsal dinner. Alexandra was so sweet and accommodating, getting us squared away and helping us plan the menu! The dinner was lovely and we were so glad that our close family and friends got to experience a cafe we have been raving about for years. We would recommend Alexandra’s in general (highly recommend the kale salad and the special ‘za), but we would definitely definitely recommend Alexandra’s for events and wedding-related festivities!

Quiet cozy vibe. Turkish eggs and bread were excellent. Would definitely visit again.

After fasting for the doctors to poke me, I needed breakfast. What luck, the #2 bus dropped us here. Finally, a decent breakfast sandwich. The baked plum brioche was just right for dipping in a cortado. The day looks brighter.

A cute and quiet cafe on the outskirts of Capitol Hill that serve really well made drinks and food. I had the homemade chai and there was a lot of depth and flavor. They had milk replacements, and I went with oat, and the chai came out nice and foamy. I also had their macarons which had excellent flavor pairings. The double chocolate was not too sweet and the elderflower tasted like a more mature orange sherbet. The frittata was well made and had great plating. Very herbaceous with nice olive accents in the dish. I would definitely go back for pizza in the evenings Thurs/Fri. Supposedly they have amazing waffles on the weekends.

The owners run this cute cafe, serving up delicate and intricate flavors and a wide breadth of options for anyone looking to have a nice break from busy and monotonous food options at other cafes. You can’t go wrong here. The macaroons are exceptional. I typically don’t care for them but they are good enough to have two here with your cappuccino, which meets Seattle’s high standards for espresso drinks. The frittata was layers of complementary flavors and textures that I couldn’t get enough of. So delicious! I can’t wait to come back!

I was so happy to stumble across the cafe! I’ve had their macarons at the farmers market before, and I love that they now have a storefront. It’s such a cute spot with a couple tables outside, and they also have some local jewelry and other finds in the store. Along with a wide selection of macarons, they offered coffee and some other baked goods. We will be frequenting!

Love Alexandra’s new spot! I’ve enjoyed her macarons at farmers markets for years, and am so excited about the new brick and mortar. We got six buttery macarons with the perfect outer shell, and a flaky twice baked apple croissant. They also have drinks and savory dishes — the ideal spot for an autumn happy hour!
