I discovered Le Gateau Bakeshp because I regularly use the Too Good To Go app. This place had a really high rating within the app and it was always had to snatch one of their Surprise Bags. I was finally able to snatch a Surprise Bag and I absolutely loved it! I got two slices of their Vegan Matcha Raspberry + Pistachio Cake and their Vegan Vanilla Bean Shortbread. The cake was perfection. Perfectly moist, great matcha flavour, the matcha buttercream filling is heavenly, and the raspberries and pistachio compliments the cake. The shortbread cookie were also great.. finished them pretty quickly! I was really impressed. I am definitely planning on getting the next birthday cake from here cause they all look amazing. Really happy that I found another great bakery! read more

Very disappointing. We were hoping this would be our wedding cake baker and now we're back on the hunt. We ordered an assortment of cupcakes (red velvet, mango coconut and carrot cake) and a small 6 inch with lemon curd and blueberries and raspberries. We couldn't finish the red velvet or the mango coconut cupcakes. They were both dry and stale. The carrot cake was good (not great!) The cake . It was also not fresh and some of the berries had a moldy taste. We ate several bites hoping it would get better and even had two other people try it. We all agreed-it was not good. We had such high hopes as their cakes are pretty and they had good reviews. Maybe it was an off baking day. read more

Yet another fabulous little bakery on our side of town. This independent bakeshop is owner operated by Tanya M. a very talented young baker, ready to connect with you in time for your next event. Just east of the PNE on the south side of the street. If you're any where nearby, plan to stop in and grab a treat. My treat was the peppermint marshmallows, something I adore that is gluten free but I don't indulge in very often. Num-num, lick-my-thumbs. :D read more

Walked in for a last minute birthday cake order. Friendly staff prepared the fancy cake I chose on display and drizzled the requested birthday message. In 3 minutes, cake was packed and ready to go. And yes... it was delicious! Unlike other bakeries, these guys have decent sized cakes pre-decorated and ready to go, and I therefore recommend them to anyone who happened to forget someone's birthday until the very last second ;) read more

Le Gateau has been my go-to for birthday cakes for a number of years so when I needed a cake for a friend I knew exactly who to to call! The birthday girl I was getting the cake for said chocolate cake and strawberry cheesecake were her two favorites so I asked Tanya if she could create something that embodied those two flavours and...voila! She came up with chocolate cake topped with cream cheese frosting and filled with fresh strawberries! A definite winner! read more

Le Gateau did an amazing job on my friend unicorn birthday cake! Cake was even dairy AND soy free! Chocolate ganache cake was very good. The frosting was a little on the sweeter side but that's because it was dairy free. Excellent communication and answered calls / email right away. Definitely recommend for special events and weddings! read more

My husband and I were married in July, we sampled cakes from 4 different bakeries and this one, was by far the best!! It was so important to us that our cake was delicious! We chose the carrot cake and the lemon/olive oil with a berry filling. It was so moist and tasty that the entire cake was eaten! When does that ever happen at a wedding! We are already looking forward to our next occasion so that we can order from Le Gateau!! Yum! read more

This little gem is located right next to the McDonalds off the Highway/Cassier Connector where the PNE/Empire field ends/starts. By bus it's a block from Kootney Loop (walk across the street and towards the PNE.) The cookies are yummy! Tanya makes a lot of yummy treats at this location and I would not hesitate to try them out. They have a case full of sweets and desserts in the front and it's nice to be able to look at the back where they are baking and rolling dough. The cakes are impressive and they used to carry this really good granola. read more

Thank you for your response Tanya. We appreciate it. Anastasia took it in good humour and she loved the cake. read more

I ordered a custom birthday cake for my 25th birthday and everyone loved it! I got compliments from my friends and the waitress at the restaurant we ate at. They all thought it was the coolest birthday cake they've seen! I recommend getting a cake from here because they make custom cakes all the time and are reliable in creating whatever you can imagine. As well, their cakes are the best tasting cakes that I have had for a birthday and their prices are really good! My cake was less than $100 and fed way more than my friends birthday cake (from somewhere else) that was smaller and more expensive. I plan to order my 26th birthday cake from Le Gateau next year! read more

Quality ingredients and elegant looking desserts. This is a bakery that seems to depend more on cake orders than street traffic as there isn't any seating and only a small number of tarts, cookies and cakes available for individual purchase. I've stopped by a few times to pick up a sweet treat for the afternoon. Today, I got a salted caramel cupcake. This was very good- the buttercream icing was not overly sweet and the cake was moist. For $3.25 though, the cupcake was quite small...about 2/3 the size of other bakeries. And especially for the area, I found the price point high. read more

Exceptional cake when you need it... planned or not... It's my mother's birthday. I had been meaning to call the restaurant to ask them if I could bring a cake. Since we were going out, I thought it was poor form to bring a cake, I should be getting a dessert from them. But then my aunt told me to get one because she had brought a cake there for one of her friends. Okay. SOLD. I had read about this place because someone I know had checked in here. I also know where it is exactly because it was in someone's review. So I walk in with my hubby and I look at the cakes she has ready. An 8-inch and a 10-inch, both chocolate. Hmm... I hem and haw thinking that those two are way too big. I mean, I am feeding it to three seniors... they don't eat that much. The baker (I have gleaned her name is Tanya from Roanna Z's review) tells me that she can make me a carrot 6-inch in an hour. Whoa... no need to rush. I am at your mercy. You can take your time. We come back four hours later to pick up a beautiful cake covered in cream cheese icing. The cake was most with chunks of pineapple and raisins. I hate raisins. Nature's candy pretty much sucks to me. Couldn't even taste them. She told me I wouldn't and she was right. The little sugar flowers were so pretty. Our server at the restaurant asked me where I got the cake cause it's so pretty. I told her and gave her a hunk (my mom cut the cake in six and we only ate three pieces) to try. I then stole it out of my mom's fridge a day later. So good. Pricing is reasonable... I'm gonna go back and ask her to make me a cake covered in fondant. read more

Le Gateau recently opened up about 4 blocks from my house, which is both convenient and horrible, because now I am going to gain like 500 pounds. I've had the chance to try a few things now so I will do this in point form. I like being organized. -The Ginger Molasses Cookies. These were pretty good. I bought them to see if I liked them better than the ones at Starbucks. They were different, there was more spice to them. I accidentally ate the whole bag and then I got heartburn but I kinda feel like it was worth it. -Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes. I sent my vegan roomie up the street to grab some while we were being lazy and watching movies. I actually don't like cream cheese icing because I am some sort of freak, so these were way better than any of the real red velvet cupcakes I've had. The cake part was nice and dense, and the icing tasted butter creamy. It wasn't too sweet, either. They were perfect! A bit on the small side for $3 each though. -Vegan Mini Cake. This one was insanely fudge-y. It was topped with a single blueberry and had a few cake layers near the bottom. I couldn't finish my half because it was just so rich, but it was awesome. My roomie wolfed hers down immediately. -Vegan Date Bar. I actually quite liked this. The flavours were mild so it felt more like breakfast than a dessert, but in a good way. I'd get this again for sure. -Cheese Scone. I only ate a bite so that I could get this review started. I think I'm going to save it for later and melt cheese on it because it seems like it would make a pretty awesome late night cheesy snack. It seems a bit dry, but it is tasty! I'll always suggest more cheese though. I reeeeeally wanted the Cameo Valentine Sugar cookies. I'll probably be back for those... they're so cute! read more

Eeeeek! So many delicious looking treats to try, I almost couldn't decide! But when it came down to it I went with some gourmet marshmallows (so fluffy and amazing, where have they been all my life?!), a lemon tart, and a fudge brownie. This bakery is on my way to work and I can see it becoming a problem! Definitely check them out if you're bringing dessert to a dinner party and want to wow everyone, or if you're just in the mood for something that will blow your mind. read more

I first heard about this place on yelp, and saw some great reviews. Since it was new I felt like giving it a try. The owner was very quick to respond to my e-mails which was a pleasant surprise to me. The place is very small and easy to miss, so it's best to park your car or get off a station close to the area. Especially if you have a horrible sense of direction like me. The bakery is small, but there was a good amount of selection. Staff was pleasant, and efficient. I got my cake, and presented it to the birthday girl. There was only one problem. Her name was spelled wrong, and I didn't even notice until someone else pointed it out to me. We had a good laugh about it, because I really should of noticed it first. The cake itself was actually really good. Nice and fluffy, and the cream cheese icing was nice and sweet. I would recommend the bakery to those who are lucky enough to be in the area, but for those who are not, it is a long drive to get out to their location, and I would recommend it to people who want good custom cakes. Particularly the ones who want gluten free and vegan cakes. My friend wanted a gluten free cake, so this bakery was perfect for me at the time. read more

Such a gorgeous cake for my daughter's first baby shower...delicious too. I highly recommend this bakery. Beautiful artistry for sure!!! Tasty too. read more

Words cannot begin to express how lucky we felt to have Tanya create our stunning wedding cake. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, expertise in what we envisioned as well as her wealth of knowledge she provided at every appointment made our decisions that much more seamless. We tasted at several bakeries and Le Gâteau bakeshop exceeded expectations and delivered exactly what we were wanting. Tanya's cakes are masterpieces and the flavor blew our guests away with the depth in flavor. We still hear from our friends and family on what a show stopper our cake was while also being filled with the classic richness of how well executed cake should taste. I couldn't recommend Le Gâteau bakeshop enough for their incredible flavors, professionalism throughout the entire process and the level of art they created for our special day. We also ordered my son's 1st birthday cake from them and I know we will continue to order through Le Gâteau bakeshop for parties and events. Working with Tanya and her team is always such a pleasure! Thank you again for making our wedding day so perfect! read more

Stopped by this small bakery shop as I had been wanting to try this place for some time. I see this place on my way to work everyday and finally made the effort to pick up some baked goods. I bought two cupcakes and two macarons. I had the earl grey and matcha cupcakes. Plus, a rose and a pistachio macarons. The cupcakes were $3 each and the macarons were $2 each. The icing on the cupcakes was amazing. Creamy, decadent, lightly sweetened and I can taste the hint of buttery goodness. The cupcakes were a touch on the drier and crumbly side. Earl grey flavour was very mild whereas the matcha flavour was very strong. The macarons were good. Both tasted as described and were well made and symmetrical looking. I will stop by to try more goodies as everything else looked so tempting to eat! read more

I consider myself as a bit of a foodie and we had heard to La Gateau so we ordered the coconut cream cake for a birthday and Le Gateau Bakeshop did not disappoint. The cake was a perfect blend of moist, tasty and not too sweet. Thank You Le Gateau. We will be back for more. read more

I had to get a cake for my wife's 30th birthday, but I waited until the absolute last minute (for some reason getting a cake totally slipped my mind). I called a few other places, and they pretty much told me it would be impossible to have something in time. On top of that, their prices were soooo much higher than I wanted to pay Le Gateau came to rescue; their price was the most reasonable of anywhere I called; but their cake was also THE BEST. I've never had a better cake. My wife wanted a red velvet cake, and we ended up getting the best red velvet cake I've ever eaten. It got rave reviews at the party too. They managed to make it i 24 hours, which no other bakeshop could do. The owner here is also incredibly nice. I will be back for all future cakes. A great bakeshop read more

Stopped by today on their first day, the smell in there is amazing! Picked out some of my favorites (tarts & cupcakes), everything was delicious. They also sell full size cakes, which also looked tasty but I didn't think I could do a full cake today on top of the rest, another time to be sure! read more

Haven't been inside their shop yet, however, this review is purely based on their participation and sampling at this year's cupcake throwdown held at Fortune Sound Club. I tried their Earl Grey cupcake which tasted exactly like the tea I love :) Very nice people behind the booth. read more

I've been going in here a couple times a week to pick up something small for dessert. Their Mexican spicy chocolate cookies (I think that is what they are called?) are to die for. Haven't ordered a cake yet, but will as soon as I get the chance! read more

We had Tanya make our son his bday cake it was thomas the train themed. She made us an amazingly delish vegan red velvet cake. Everyone at the party thought it was delicious creamy moist and fluffy. We ordered our cake only a few days before his party she was very accomodating. I asked her to deliver the cake at 5:30pm. She showed up early which is great. I can't wait to order future cakes:) read more

This is the most amazing Bakesop...everything is delicious! The red velvet cupcakes are to die for!!

Stopped by today and was overwhelmed with all the choices of yummy treats! It's a cute little place that sells so many different things, cakes, cookies, and little pasteries. Even vegan and gluten free options as well! I ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies for me and my husband as well as Christmas treats for my coworkers. I will be back! read more

Le Gateau is a nice little bake shop just east of PNE. I needed a custom cake made in the shape of a purse for my wife's birthday in a short time. Tanya was willing to take on the challenge and was very accommodating to my requests. I ordered their red velvet gateau flavor and it was very well made. Not too sweet and the texture was great. I would recommend this little bake shop to others who want custom designs done. read more

Red velvet heaven. We ordered an amazingly beautiful and even more yummy birthday cake for our sons 7th Birthday. In honesty, I am not a huge desert person but the cake was so moist and the cream cheese icing is why the term " icing on the cake " exists. Thank you Tanya! read more

Excellent icing and decoration on the cake! The cake itself was surprisingly really dry and layers fell apart when serving. It was still good but a bit disappointing. Perhaps this was a one off? read more
