Our concept in 1988 was to make the very best pastry we could. We felt the community was ready for a European style pastry, handmade with the very best ingredients we could buy. In 1989 the Alexandria Pastry Shop became the Alexandria Pastry Shop & Café providing mouth-watering entrees, salads and sandwiches to be enjoyed in our 24-seat café or catered to you at your home or office."Cooking done with care is an act of love." Not only has the Alexandria Pastry Shop & Catering Company been creating the DC areas most irresistible pastries since 1988 we also season, grill and sauté the best receptions and dinners in the metro area. Let us help you plan your next event (Bridal Shower, Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Reception, Holiday Party, Cocktail Reception or Corporate Meeting). We will be happy to discuss a complete menu with you - Hors D'oeuvres, Salads, Entrees, and Desserts - and create a proposal for your entire event
