the gateau house

staff were very smiling and accommodating.
each cake was crafted as art. we had chocolate mousse. it was wooow!
however, some of thecakestastes okay, we could get from a regular cake shop with lesser price but tastes better.

i've tasted so many of theircakesand most of them are average af, definitely not worth the price. i would go but somewhere else

rating 4.0. got there late in the day, there was still a good range ofcakesavailable, but not much bread. got some brioche buns, a mont blanc & some macarons to go. everything was yum, especially the mont blanc, filled with cream but not overly sweet. service was ok, not overly quick.

best place for birthdaycakesas theircakeswere not too sweet and very delicious, creamy and fluffy. staff were super friendly. it’s our regular place to grabcakesand desserts. recommend green tea, kumara, vanilla and chocolate flavours.

nice place to chill, study or have a birthday!cakesare delicious and the outdoor area is especially nice. the mango cake is my fave!

have bought a couple ofcakesfrom here and i must say that the black forest cake is by far the best one! love how it's covered in shredded chocolate pieces and buried under it is a really soft sponge, really enjoy every time i get it.

the place is accessible. there's so manycakesto choose from - small, large one, they even have slices available. the prices are affordable and their cake tastes delicious! recommended 👍

i come here quite often as its one of the most accessible and consistent places in town to get a good cake! the service is always nice and the store is always dimly lit and a nice place to go to get a little coffee and cake.

besides thecakes(my favourite is the kumara or the matcha chiffon), i highly recommend their cream puffs and the cheesecake.

visited today when the weather was nice in the early afternoon. tried the cabinet cake slices and would strongly recommend the kumara one; it is one of the nicestcakesi've tasted and suits really well with tea.

friendly service but can be a little slow at times.

love this place although they are on the expensive side.cakesare always delicious and staff are generally nice. favourite is cookies and cream cake 🍰

got threecakesto try, everything looked so appetising! the staff were helpful and the service was swift.

mini baked cheese cake 2.5/5
texture and taste was not what i expected. i anticipated a fluffy airy mousse like cheesecake but instead was met with a dense sponge that dried out the mouth a bit. it is quite a thick sponge with an egg-y taste and was heavy to eat. it also was a bit bland, there wasn’t much of a prominent flavor and i was disappointed.

classic cheesecake 3.5/5
wow she thicc. this was was a thick solid block of cream when i cut through it. tart in taste, with yogurt-y accents and a super creamy texture, it definitely tingled the tastebuds the most out of the three pieces we tried. it is improved by the caramel-y base which was slightly harder than the cake itself. overall the most unique of the three but nothing wow.

kumura fresh cream 3.5/5
the name jus made me crave and i had high hopes. it wasn’t as sweet as i imagined, in fact is was not that sweet at all but the taste focused around the super fresh airy cream that slathered between each sponge layer. the cream worked well against the denser sponge and together they mixed into a milky concoction, however if there was less cream the elements would not have worked and the cake would’ve been to overpowering. personally it didn’t meet the wow threshold but it was a nice treat, a simple neat fresh cream cake.

overall i don’t think thesecakesare worth the hype, i was planing on getting the strawberry tiramisu full cake, but if the classic fresh cake didn’t even wow me, i doubt the tiramisu would be spectacular. thecakeswere quite basic, and they’re decent don’t get me wrong, but they just lacked uniqueness.

with quite a nice range of options this place has really delicious food. also, therecakesare beautifully decorated which can still spotlight of any b'day party!

the gateau housecakesare all around auckland and always a favourite place of mine to order birthdaycakesfor my family. there is a variety ofcakesoften on display for last minute purchases and online order available for anything special or not in store.

a personal favourite is the kumara cake, which comes in the round shape, log cake and slices available to dine in or takeaway. it is made from fresh cream and not to sweet for a nice after meal dessert or snack.

i like how the gateau house offers seating for dine in coffees and tea now and the cabinets are always packed with goodies to choose from.

our go to for birthday cakes. always consistent with design, flavour, size etc etc. gateau house is a place we can always rely on to provide delicious cake. only one i would not recommend is the chiffoncakes(pictured). they are like regular sponge cake covered in cream. no fillings etc.

thecakeshere are divine. light and fluffy. my all time favourite would have to be the kumura cake but can never go wrong with any of their selection. this new black forest is very light and not heavy like traditional cheesecake shop black forest .
