About Chez Alex Patisserie

Right on Oxford Street, Chez Alex pulls scratch-baked French pastry and hot savoury pies straight from open ovens working out back. Sunday morning regulars bypass the sit-down brunch strip for takeaway espresso and crisp viennoiserie—almond croissants packed dense with nut filling, glossy berry tarts, and fresh baguettes moving fast. The smart play is the savoury counter: chicken, leek, and Camembert pies with flaky crusts baked rich enough to need zero sauce.

  • On-Site Scratch Baking: Bakers craft French pastries and gourmet pies entirely from scratch on the premises with an open kitchen visible at the rear.
  • Classic Viennoiserie & Pâtisserie: Counters loaded with dense almond croissants, crisp pear Danishes, chocolate éclairs, and celebration fruit cakes.
  • Artisan Savoury Pies: Generously filled signatures like chicken, leek, and Camembert or chunky beef and cheese in layered pastry crusts.
  • Sunday Strip Staple: A reliable Sunday morning stop along the Oxford Street strip for hot coffee, fresh baguettes, and quick takeaway.

  • Reliable Sunday Morning Trading

    While neighboring spots remain shuttered, Chez Alex reliably opens early on Sundays to supply warm viennoiserie, baguettes, and espresso.

    It's one of the few cafes in the area open on Sundays.

  • Chicken, Leek and Camembert Pie

    This was the best pie I have ever had, a perfect balance of flavours where no single ingredient dominated the rest, not easy to do when using cheese. The pastry had an amazing texture, the fillings were really generous and everything was perfect.

    Custard filled donut is one of the best! Delicious custard filling is not overly sweet and the dough is simply divine, not dry at all.
