the gateau house

been here multiple times, i always have a hard time choosing what to get!
almost too pretty to eat, the flavours are nice and rich, i just wish they would make them bigger hahaha i have a big sweet tooth and one is never enough!

my favorite go-to place whenever i need to order a cake for any special occasion. i even go in to get a few treats for myself or my partner. consistant and elegantly simple. love it!

ordered a fresh cream cake for a birthday celebration. loved every bite of this cake, there are fresh pieces of fruit like kiwi, cherry, orange and grape on top and inside as well. excellent customer service. they communicated well while placing the order and while collecting it. its great i ordered a day in advance as the fresh cream cake sells really fast.

the range of desserts you can choose from was great. the dessert i ordered tasted great. the staff were friendly and the store has good ambience.

after lunch, we strolled down queen street & went for some dessert & hot coffee at the gateau house. we had walnut coffee slice & mango petite gateau. both were exquisite - chocolate shavings on walnut coffee slice added a balance of flavour, while mango gateau was sweet all over, including the little cute white chocolate label on top of it. (food - 4.5/5; service - 4/5)

p.s. we intended to visit oko dessert kitchen after lunch. we were the only intended customers. the staff at the counter was playing with her phone.  after a couple of minutes, "hi" she said & continued with her phone & totally ignored us. so we left without having anything. i took a photo at the door (posted at oko); she was still seen playing with her phone.

had the kumara fresh cream cake, so creamy but not too sweet at all, and the texture was light and soft. my friend said this was the best cake in auckland, lol.
the only thing i don't like is the size of the cake, too small to enjoy, you'd better have two

the gateau house, located in the heart of the city, serves you one of the best cakes.

tried blackforest, chocolate ganache, chocolate delight, chocolate mousse and cookie & cream slice. loved all of it.

decent seating space and quick service

bad experience! i submitted an order over the website asked for a few special thing  but nothing to fancy just wanted strawberries in the cake and happy birthday written on the top, and got an email to call with payment. i call to one of the numbers and the person that picked up the phone didn't really understand english, in fact answer the phone in another language... i called a different number, someone else picked up this time someone that spoke english but when i said i just wanted strawberries i was told they are to hard to come across and expensive and that they can only do peaches, which i found the most silly answer ever since you can buy strawberries anywhere at this time of the year and they are ridiculously cheap. end of story i gave up, they made it to hard, and the price of the cakes don't reflect the level of service and flexibility they offer, i was ordering an sponge cake that costs nzd105!!!!

good to grab a take away slice or a full cake. staff are varied in service depending on who you get. good idea to get the loyalty card for some sweet discounts. also if you ask them they can tell you which cakes are halal as not all of them are so please check if you are wanting a halal treat

great place for dessert lovers. they have really good cakes and drinks! my personal favourite is the green tea tiramisu but all of the cakes i've tried has been really good! definitely worth a visit if you have a sweet tooth. it's a cute place for dates or you can just take away and indulge at home.

had dinner elsewhere & were looking for some dessert when we stumbled across the gateau house. it's amongst a group of shops opposite the skycity metro centre so it's easy to miss it.
the cabinets are full of some delicious looking desserts - very similar to milse or miann. they also have some korean type breads in baskets & a good range of treats. all food can be taken away.
service was very good & the cafe was clean & tidy.
we chose a few desserts to try as it was so hard to decide. all were well balanced, tasty & fresh - not dry like some can be.
will definitely visit again when next in town.

always lovely to walk into any of the gateau houses to look at all the cakes on display.

nice for a small treat, a dessert after dinner or for a celebration cake.

the cakes are always beautifully made and taste just as good they look

trusty place to get a great cake last minute! the service is always great and there is a huge variety of cakes! the kumara gateau is a must try as it is their specialty cake! delicious!

went to the gateau house on queen street for neither the first nor last time last tuesday night, and am pleased to say that i remain consistently impressed. got myself the chocolate praline mousse while my partner got the chocolate ganache slice of cake, and while mine was easily the winner, his was pretty good too. definitely a win for the amount we spent (under $13 for both). the ambiance inside is pretty great as well, with the house being surprising large and narrow. while the gateau house isn't milse or miann, it is still a stand-up dessert destination on its own.

always love this place and i even have a card collecting loyalty stamps! their cakes are made with good quality ingredients - real cream to start with! like other asian cakes, their ones are not overly sweet and very pleasant to kick off two pieces. please do try their kumera cake- i think it doesn't sound appealing but the texture and favour are amazing. lovely place to stop for a coffee and cake
