I bought a chocolate cake for my dad yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted even better--rich, moist, and perfectly balanced sweetness. Everyone at the celebration loved it and kept asking where it was from! Best service!!! Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cake that impresses both visually and taste-wise. read more

Our visit to Closter a few nights ago ended with getting desserts at Gateaux bakery and Café. It is surrounded by small shops, from the outside looking in, the scale of the place will surprise you how big it is inside. Our visit was short because we wanted to continue to check out more. Many of the items in the bakery were were good to go. I love Macarons. The strawberry, mocha madness, green tea were in the box. The size was bigger than a usual macaron. We'll be back. read more

Good bakery I recommended this space I like it too Mach I wanna come every day here

Came here a few years ago and wasn't impressed. Stopped by while passing through the neighborhood the other day... and wow! The fresh viennoiserie in the morning is light and flaky, with some interesting flavor combinations thrown in. And the traditional fried pastries aren't greasy or too heavy at all, either. It's a really nice bunch of people working here, too, with a warm welcome. The prices are normal for this quality (not to mention this area). Maybe I'll come back and try the bingsu.... read more

I love this spot but know that giving it a higher rating would be due to a nostalgia factor as opposed to the actual goods/atmosphere. There are other Gateaux locations near this one, but this one has the most goods. This is also a Korean bakery chain. Love their goguma (sweet potato) latte when they have it during the colder season. Unfortunately inflation/the economy caused the prices on a lot of the bakery items to go up. I will say that the drink prices are still very fair, as are many of the lil' bread items. You'll just have to try their items to figure out which ones you like most. Personally their curry doughnut and mochi (served in a pack of four), along with their coffee-cream filled bread loaf are my fave bakery items of theirs. They also sell bingsu (shave ice) but it's not good value imo. I know some reviews said that the bakery ladies were mean, but tbh they're overall pretty polite, just not bubbly/cheerful (which they don't owe you!). The interior is also great for getting work done on your laptop. read more

Great cozy place and pastry selection, the mocha cake is always our Togo to , it's cake we served at our wedding party 15 years ago. Keep it up. read more

My hometown bakery. They make everything fresh. Prices are not bad. And I prefer it over the other bakery in town. They have a good mix of Korean baked treats. I always go as soon as it opens to get it while it's fresh. They also serve Korean shaved ice. It's expensive but it's worth it on a hot summer day. They have ample seating and it's really chill inside. Come and get some. read more

Out of all the bakeries/cafes in the area, this one has the best and largest seating. Great variety of baked goods, pastries, and drink selection. The service is good and staff are friendly. It's attached to a plaza so there is ample parking. A nice place to study or do work since there is free wifi and is a relatively quiet place even if full. read more

Nice little gem of a Korean bakery. Loved the Korean cake and chocolate mousse. My Machiatto was yum and the service friendly and nice. The atmosphere was local, inviting and intimate. I would recommend this bakery to anyone who wants excellent baked goods and beverages. read more

Ordered breakfast today and was pretty underwhelmed with the food. I got a Macaroni and Egg Sandwich, Tuna Sandwich, and Cream Puff Choux. None of them were bad, but they weren't great either. The prices are high, which is also why I was expecting the quality to be better. I've not tried their cakes, but they do look really good. So maybe I'll give them one more shot and try one of their cakes next time. read more

A delicious cafe. Love the bubble tea and sandwiches! Mom and I enjoy going there. The service is fast and the employees are very kind.

Food is great! I enjoy the latte as well. Been there multiple times after golf. The environment is clean and friendly.

They bake everything on premise. Their bubble teas are decent. Their pat bing soo is good, but a little stingy with their ingredients considering it's $12 read more

Gateaux Bakery & Cafe - Red bean shaved snow - Bakeries Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

Came here on a hot day with my gf. Thank God she is Korean. She ordered the Pat pi soo. Red bean shaved ice with fruit. It's very light and refreshing. They use frozen yogurt. I think other places use condensed milk which I love on toast. Maybe not with my shaved ice. I want to try their baked goods but there is next time. read more

They have the best birthday cake ever, anywhere, not too sweet and very very tasty and soft.

I came here for dessert after dinner. It's my family's go to dessert place for birthday cakes or breakfast pastries. It's close by since my family lives in Tenafly. My favorite cake to get is the red bean cake and not many Asian bakeries have red bean cakes. My family usually gets one for my birthday every year. I would skip their drinks though since they're not that great. The bubble tea is not really bubble tea. They make it like a slush and not like a bubble tea. The prices are decent and everything is usually fresh. FYI - there's a $10 minimum for credit cards. read more

Gateaux Bakery & Cafe - Mixed fruit cake and green tea frappuccino - Bakeries Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

Be aware: as of June 30, 2019 (probably since much earlier) this business started charging a credit card transaction fee equal to 4% of your total purchase, in addition to the 6.625% NJ sales tax! Most credit card companies charge the merchant less than 3%, which means this place does not only pass the fee onto its customers but it also charges more than what they would have otherwise paid to the bank! read more

Gateaux Bakery & Cafe - Be aware! Credit card transaction fees aren't even 4% to begin with and this place is now transferring that to its customers!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

It's a nice size bakery in the area where there are very few cafe/restaurant choices. I was really happy to find this place. So we went in for the first time yesterday. I'm a huge matcha fan, so I got their matcha macaron and cream puffs (small eclairs). The macaron tasted terrible, no matcha taste at all. But the cream puffs were amazing!! 10-12 small cream puffs in a container were $5. Great price! My sister ordered green tea latte. She hated it. Took a sip and couldn't drink more. If this place was in NYC, I would give it one star, but just because this bakery offers a nice place to hang out in cold winter days in an area where you'll see more deers in the streets than humans, I'm giving it more stars. read more

Three stars. Very spacious cafe with tons of different pastries and drinks. I love their green tea roll cake with red bean creme filling. Their cookies are good too but a bit overpriced. All of their bubble teas are blended with ice. Their bubbles are hit or miss. Sometimes they have fresh bubbles, sometimes they have stale bubbles that are just too diluted from a long period of sitting. Awesome place to come to read, sit and talk, or work. It can be a little loud with kids running around as this place seems to be a popular destination for moms. I didn't see any power outlets so come prepared with your gears all charged up. I'm not sure if they bake any of their pastries and cakes at this location. It seems like they have all the equipments and baking machines, but most of their cakes are brought out frozen. Tons of parking spaces surrounding the mall. I never had a hard time looking for a space. $10 minimum for credit cards. read more

Gateaux Bakery & Cafe - Milk tea bubble tea - Bakeries Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

I love this bakery! Though I have not been here I have tried a few of their amazing baked goods. My coworker always brings me the most amazing little treats from here and I am so thankful for that. My favorite cookie of all time are these sunflower looking cookies with a nut and jelly filling. The cookie is crisp and addictive. I have also tried some of their french macaroons they have to offer and they are really great as well. I can't wait to come here and get the full experience myself! read more

If I knew there was 4% fees for using my credit card I would've paid by cash. They are actually making $$$ from their credit card fees because most of credit card merchant services charge less than 3% these days. What an unethical business. Either accept the credit card or refuse it. Or set up a minimum spending limits or something. read more

Over priced and rude service. There's 4 other bakeries within 10 minutes driving that cost the same but have better quality and taste. I would recommend to go elsewhere. The bubble teas, coffee, and cakes across the board are decent but once again for the cost there's tous le jours and it's 100% better. read more

Great bakery with a Korean twist and a wide variety of drinks and pastries. As a Chinese American, this bakery meets my fix for Asian styled pastries. Other choice is the Savoy Cafe in Tenafly which is very small. Very freshly baked goods and an attractive layout for hanging out. Located in a pocket of a large but not too busy shopping center, it may be hard to find. Not too busy, meaning I hope it doesn't close for lack of business. Definitely the word needs to come out about these small quality businesses; otherwise Closter would only have Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and fast food joints to hang out. Pass the word. read more

The interior of this bakery is...well....okay, but they do have a large variety of snacks, desserts, etc, but even larger seating area. You'd probably feel out of place if you weren't a middle to older aged Korean housewife who wanted to know what's what or who's who in this small town. read more

The bakery here is ok. Nothing special. They have a lot of bread options, cake, baked goods. The bubble tea I wouldn't recommend I've had better bubble tea else where. The shaved ice(patbingsoo) is what I normally come for here. read more

I love this place!! It has a very cozy family kind of environment. Not to mention that there are so many old aged Korean women and men talking so loud here and there, it's a good place to sit down with your laptop and enjoy a cup of coffee with baked goods. Their cakes are awesome. I love their red velvet cake. It's not too sweet or heavy. It's just right! Their homemade chocolate and macaroons are really good too. The price of the macaroon is pretty cheap compared to any other places you go. Oh and they have the best frozen yogurt. They only carry one flavor but it's the best tasted frozen yogurt i've ever had so far! read more

Went here right after lunch and we ordered the green tea Patbingsu. The platter that came out had enough on it to feed 4 people and was delish. It was more than enough for our family. Normally patbingsu has red beans, shaved ice and fruit syrup. This was a variation with vanilla flavored shaved ice, the green tea powder, the red beans and additional tasty morsels of korean rice cake (tteok). I highly recommend it. read more

This review only applies to a few items i ordered: the chocolate cake, macarons and walnut bread. I loved all of them. The chocolate was gobbled up by my family and was not overly sweet like other bakeries are guilty of. The macarons are gigantic and cost $2.25 (IIRC). it comes in a variety of flavors and were made perfectly. Hard on the outside, chewy on the inside, with a sweet, though not overwhelming filling. And the walnut bread was deliciously soft and chewy. The decor is nice. I can definitely imagine myself grabbing a coffee and pastry and sitting there to do some work. And the prices are very acceptable. read more

I had a very pleasant experience here. Staff was very nice and helpful, and seemed like they all worked very efficiently. I was surprised by the amount of different desserts and pastries they have here. I bought some French macarons, a croissant, and a green tea latte. Everything was delicious! I was a bit hesitant about going to a French style bakery run by Koreans, but they did not disappoint! Everything in this bakery looked so delicious. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it.They sold cakes, bubble tea and other Korean desserts. They also have a lot of green tea flavored desserts so if that's your thing you've got to check this place out! The Bakery is located in a little plaza next to 2 Korean restaurants and a massage place. I will be back to try some more delicious desserts! read more

Gateaux Bakery & Cafe - The French macarons were delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

5 stars for bakery. 2.5 stars for cafe. We were the only non-Korean clientele from the looks of it. I ordered all three of the bakery treats located by the front counter and was delighted by each: a twisted phyllo pretzel with the end a fan shaped with some sugar sprinkles on top, a bread stick covered with chocolate and nuts, and a horseshoe shaped red bean paste layered puff pastry thingy that consisted of a string of little cubes. The American coffee wasn't deeply satisfying and the mango smoothie needed more fruit. The atmosphere was too close to cafeteria with cheesy large photo laminates stuck on the square tables. The music selection was appropriate with older soft rock classics, but it sounded as if it were coming from some small boom box in the kitchen. Adding to the poor acoustics was the din of all the customer's conversations. They are definitively chatty in there. read more

This is hands down the best underrated bakery cafe that I know of! Some of my afternoon favorites are the Creamcheese Bread with black sesame sprinkled on top, and don't forget that hidden treasure of a food called Mango bread, there tons of other pastries to be reckoned with. Your tastebuds will thank you, I promise you that! read more

The bubble tea was great and had lots of flavor. I definitely recommend it. Tastes like what a rainbow tastes like if you turned it into a bread read more

Hands down my favorite bubble tea ever, it's more like a slush/frappe type which I love! There are many flavor options for bubble tea as well. As far as the baked goods, the buttered rolls are phenomenal, macaroons are very good too. Definitely a spot worth going to especially if you love bubble tea and live in the area! read more

Been coming here for years but the quality was off this time. Got 2 pastries, the red bean bun was stale, at least a day or two old. Most items are wrapped in plastic so they sell the same pastries the next day. Picked up a tapioca bun but it was rock hard, didn't buy it. It's odd because there's always racks of fresh pastries cooling next to the counter, they may be for delivery to other sites. The decaf coffee is $1 more but the price is not listed for decaf, they should at least tell you. Regular coffee is $1.50. Each cup is made to order, but the amount is small, 3/4th of a cup. read more

I am a regular customer at Gateaux, and I must say that one of the best things about moving in to town is this gem of a bakery. I get my morning coffee and breakfast pastry here on my way to work. The French pastries are always freshly made. All the staff members are very accommodating, warm and pleasant. A cup of freshly brewed coffee cost$1.25. My favorite pastries for breakfast are their chocolate croissants, ham & egg danish. They have a pretty good selection of sweet and savory pastries. Another thing I love about this place is the big dining area that is softly lit and a great place to sit, chat with friends and hang out here to do some school work. read more

I bought a cake from here recently. I loved it! I went with a red bean variety, but they have a lot of great options, so it was difficult choosing one cake to go with. I'll have to try a different one next time! read more

Order the Green Tea Latte. By far my favorite thing here, though it is very sweet (if you like your latte bland, try something else lol). The pastries here are okay, though not quite my favorite. They can be stale and bland if you don't get a good batch. The best part of this place is that it is huge and has lots of sitting rooms. It's a great place to come for a cup of coffee if you're in a giant group (I've seen groups of like, 20 people here). There are two very good Korean restaurants that are a 10 second walk in either direction of the cafe, so I like to come by for a cup after lunch or dinner. read more

I purchased a bunch of baked goods and the majority of them were dry and stale. We tried a few of the goods at the bakery and mentioned to the worker that they tasted old and she was very defensive and rude, saying that every single item in the bakery is made fresh every day, which I find hard to believe as the selection is vast and they conveniently leave the date blank on the stickers applied to the packaging. The two loaves of bread I purchased to go were so dry and even though they claimed to be "Chestnut Bread" there were only two tiny pieces of chestnut to be found in the entire loaf. Not to mention both tasted stale and like old butter. There are definitely much better Korean bakeries around. This has to be the worst one I've been to. read more
