the gateau house

my favourite is their matcha tiramisu mouse cake and their mango mouse cake! gave the praline mouse a try, also much loved! they are always trustworthy service for birthdays and events.

brought a matcha green tea log cake - their november special cake.. lucky me it’s the last item of the day and yes it’s taste incredible great.. i wish i could have more 🤤🤤

my friend and i decided to go there to study and being it was my first time there. it was great, it had a nice clean environment with wonderful customer service. the desserts were delicious and we had also ordered some of their on special bakery treats. some parts of this place is a bit pricey but they also offer dessert that are a bit more affordable. definitely going back!

it’s shame that my first review is this.
i always loved this place and visited often until i met a rude staff.
i and my friend came to the gateau house on sunday evening for buying cakes and waiting for ordering. while we were wating, a big group of customers walked in. then a male staff came out to help the counter. we were in a queue to be served behind one customer who was paying at the counter. but the male staff ignored us then he started asking help for the group of customers. so i walked closer to him then he finally looked at me. after i made an order, he again talked to that group of people. his first word to them was “i am sorry”.

i didn’t understand why he said sorry to them. my order didn’t take long and also these customers were not even ready to order (because when he asked help again, they said not ready yet). i got a feeling that he thinks we cut the line. while he was serving us, he didn’t even say a single word. no hi or bye or thank you, or smile. i worked at retail before so some parts, i understand that staff sometimes not in a good mood. but he served others with a proper customer service (smile and nice words), just not to us. i almost wanted to ask him that what i did wrong to you so you gave me this attitude.

when we even finished with payment with another male staff, he was trying to pack our cake slices with some tape but that guy stopped it. so additionally thank you for that some of our cake slice falling out from the take away container. all i wanted from this place was just buying cakes and leaving. please don’t discriminate customers.

i tried green tea tiramisu, which was very moist and not overpowered sweet. i think it is good for gift my wife and family. friendly staff too.

the cakes here are amazinggg. first tried it when my friend got a cake for me from this shop. ever since then i’ve always come here to celebrate my friends’ birthdays :)

i’ve literally ordered 5 of their cakes in the last month or so and they never disappoint. the green tea and fresh cream cake, the chocolate cakes and fruit cakes all taste really good! also, their small desserts are good too and are comparable to other places like miann and milse.

this place is cake heaven! the deserts and cakes in the cabinet are so pretty. lovely decor and a very soothing ambience. tried the cheesecake which was decadent but a little too sweet for my palette.

the cakes and mousse looked great. they have some great variety in sponge and fresh cream cakes as well and these are available in slices too. can't to try the fresh fruit cake!

had my best friend's birthday party on friday night and last minute i decided to surprise her with a beautiful cake that was a reasonable price. i stumbled across the gateau house on queen street on my way to the birthday and went inside, and the lady who served me was really nice and helpful and i was able to purchase this amazing mud cake! she packed it nicely in a brown box which also came with free candles. if anyone has trouble finding a last minute cake for any special occasion, i highly recommend these guys!!! everyone loved the cake and also said it's one of the best they've tasted :)

very nice ! i really think they are the best place to grab a cake for a reasonable price (unless you trying to get fancied up and trying to spoil your girl) they are way way better than some of the cake shops in auckland. they look good and taste good and no matter what you get they always pack it good ! this is my go place if i'm in town and need to get a b day cake for my friends or family. (they always seem to have some cakes ready so you could still get some decent obes without pre ordering them if you forgot about the occasion lol.. then you can still ask them to write some on the cake so it can look like you planned it lol.. but if you wanna get a specific flavour one you need to preorder)

i've bought countless cakes from this place over the years. birthday cakes, small cakes, pistachio paris brest, cookies, bread. i've never been disappointed with the cakes.

correct me if i’m wrong but i realised there is barely any cake/dessert place selling slices of sponge cake (at least in cbd and central akl)
when my friend and i realised that they do have a few options for sponge cakes, we went without hesitation.
we ordered black forest cake and blueberry yoghurt cake.
❤️: sponge cakes were really well made and were so spongy😉 black forest wasn’t too sweet and blueberry yoghurt cake was really strong in blueberry taste but it somehow overshadowed the yoghurt cake a bit
price is $6.8 per piece so it’s very cheap for dessert
😑: not sure if the fridge was too cold or what but the fruit inside blueberry cake was really frozen so it was hard for the fork to poke it
and since it was frozen, the water droplets inside the fruit were frozen too so when we ate that, the texture was quite unpleasant
the fruit inside the black forest was alright but the cheery on top tasted so artificial
there were some parts of the black forest cake being really cold also but they weren’t frozen
was gonna give 5/5 because i love sponge cake but because of the frozen fruit i would give it a 4/5 😑

i had the black forest cake on my birthday and it was amazing but i guess it had too much cream but i still loved it!
then i had a second cake and it was the fresh cream! damn such a pretty decor and didn’t wanna ruin it but sadly it collapsed in the box but that’s okay it was still pretty on top. cake was so delicious and yummy but i would suggest that buying cake here maybe adjust the cream, as they will put heaps! but over all staff are amazing and i love there cake! happy i bought my cakes here! i’m totally obsessed! hopefully next time it will be great 😂😘

really upscale desserts here, hence the prices. i ordered the blueberry yoghurt cake for a birthday and it was beautiful! seriously worth every cent. service was superb, however choices for me were a bit limited considering the fact that a lot of cakes contained gelatine or alcohol. would love to see more vegetarian/vegan options!

extremely disappointed with the "fresh cream" cake. it was not fresh and not made with fresh cream as stated. the cream was clearly mixed with a vegetable oil mixture. we've been buying this cake for years and it's always been good. so sad to see such a good cake reduce its quality. will not be buying again.
