Ordered some flavored salt bread and also a Dubai chewy cookie to go. Pretty good service for some sweets. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for so it's alright.

Gateau MJ Dessert Shop must be a hidden gem as it's tucked away inside BBQ 21. Although the name is still something I'm confused about, It's honestly probably the better part of the food hall in my opinion. Since the space was once a KBBQ place, there are many tables to pick from where you can sit anywhere if you need to do some work, eat a quick bite, or just hang out comfortably with a group of friends! It was hot during my visit so I wanted to try their Dalgona Latte and one of their sweets. I got their Strawberry Fresh Crème Cake and thought it was the perfect choice to go along with my drink. The Dalgona Latte is something you'll have to patiently swirl your drink around, the Dalgona is coffee that must be beaten up so it dissolves in the latte creating a nice balance of Coffee and Milk once mixed. It is extremely enjoyable once you drink it but overall I liked it. The Strawberry Crème Cake is also enjoyable too; the sweetness from the cream ( I think it's buttercream ) and the strawberries compliment each other so well and it's just a delightful dessert to have. I honestly wanted more dessert but I had to save room for the other portion of BBQ 21! Overall, this is definitely a must visit. All the desserts here are eye catching and would be great to try out with friends. Check it out if you'd enjoy sweets!

Located inside the BBQ21! I think BBQ21 used to be a kbbq place turned into a mini food hall! I think Gâteau used to be a stand in the grocery food court next door, and now became a part of this lil food hall. The space is super nice and has a clean, cozy aesthetic! It's the type of space perfect to meet up with friends, do some work, solo eat, etc. We tried their mango fresh cream cake and tiramisu, which were surprisingly yummy and NOTTOOSWEETwhich I lovee. I also tried some of their cookies, the biscoff and green tea cookies. Their biscoff cookie is a must try, probably one my new favorite cookies! Would definitely come back to try their bingsoo - the group next to us got the melona bingsoo and it literally came in a melon and with a melona pop! Also want to try their savory menu items and self-serve ramen station!

What a new hidden gem! So glad I discovered it during my visit to VA. It is inside of BBQ221. The place was very aesthetically pleasing. The ramen bar is such a cool concept. They have other food options on the menu including omurice as well. I came here for their desserts. The cheese/ritz cookie was so buttery, cheesy, moist and delicious! So unique! The last time I had something this good was in Korea. It's so rare to find a cheese cookie like this. I bought all that was left and brought them back for my siblings to try. They loved it too. Make sure you refrigerate your cookie if cannot finish it in one sitting though. It does go bad quick. The bingsoo was fluffy and not too sweet. Wish it had a bit more condensed milk. The red velvet cookie wasn't as moist but still decent. Good and quick service. Lots of bakery selection. I miss this place already!

Sooo many different sweets options, it was very hard to decide on just one. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of dessert you get!

You gâteau go to Gâteau! Recently opened in Fairfax, this lovely bakery is a hidden gem for dessert lovers. It is located inside of BBQ 21 with plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. ‣ QUALITY - They offer a delightful variety of desserts, beverages, and freshly baked treats made with premium ingredients. My current favorites are the fig scones, strawberry fresh cream roll cake (limited time item!), and assorted macarons--especially the injeolmi and jolly pong flavors. You also cannot go wrong with their dacquoises, can cakes, or refreshing ades. ‣ AMBIENCE - Cute, cozy, and spotless! Perfect for a quick lunch break, especially with their self-serve ramen station with customizable toppings. ‣ SERVICE - Just like at their previous location, the Gâteau family is warm, professional, and detail-oriented. Orders are always packaged with care, making every visit a joy. Already looking forward to my next dessert trip!

An awesome experience.. it gave everything viral K-Pop! They offered desserts I've never seen or heard of before. The staff was friendly and attentive.

We stopped here after dinner with my family for some dessert. It was a cool space with multiple little food counters/restaurants inside. Very cool concept with plenty of seating! We ordered a few desserts and baked goods, all of which were pretty solid. What blew me away the most was the service though! They were so kind from the get-go. I noticed that some of the breads were half off so I was asking them what flavors each of them were, and they were very patient and answered all of our questions. Then later, as we're sitting down eating, about 30 mins before close, they went around with breads and ask us if we wanted some for free! They went around and asked everyone at the restaurant. These days with most restaurants feel more comfortable throwing away food rather than giving it away to those who want/need it. This was so refreshing to see!! They won my entire family over! I will definitely be going back and trying more desserts from here, especially the shaved ice (bingsoo)!

Cheese coin bread (think of a mozz filled waffle type flavor). Very good. Enjoyed with the Earl Grey Martini.

What a cute gem! It's inside the store front that says BBQ 21. Very friendly employees and musically talented. We came on a Saturday evening and we're treated to two performers, one singing Christmas songs and the other playing them on the violin. The bakery treats were delicious. Surprised by the unique cocktail options. Will definitely return for some of the savory food options.

I ordered an almond milk latte and the avocado toast without feta. The avocado toast was SO good, the avocado tasted really fresh and they used the perfect amount of balsamic vinegar. Also loved that they had packets of hot sauce available. My son got a bagel with cream cheese and my partner got a bagel with butter and jam plus a chai latte. Only note is that the bagel came with a ton of cream cheese, so if you don't like it piled on, I'd recommend asking for light cream cheese. Overall we really loved it and would definitely come back when we're in the area again!

The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!

I was surprised, though, by how large the selection as relative to the size of the storefront. As the name suggests, the selection of pastries was weighted heavily towards tropical fruits, and while I'm not normally a cheesecake person, trying the guava cheesecake was an interesting experience, and it was as rich as you'd think, but the light fruit flavor provides a nice balance to the experience. Dairy-free customers won't find a ton in the baked goods, but they did have a cooler of frozen tropical fruit bars for sale, as well as beverages. They are not open seven days, which is fair enough if that's what works for them, but that's the only reason I didn't try them sooner.

I can't speak much of the service and ambience but my friend said they threw in a chocolate chip cookie for free in the gift box, which I thought was very sweet. So sad to hear that the business is closing and hoping to see a return in some capacity. Nonetheless I'm grateful I got a chance to try it before it's gone!

They had savory and sweet pastries available. All of them looked so good so it was difficult to choose. We needed up getting the ham and cheese pastry- which was crispy, warm, and tasty!

The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to answer questions. They have a huge selection of cakes, pastries, cream puffs, breads, and even sandwiches. I very much enjoyed the matcha croissant squares which are super light and flaky. Any of their almond pastries are delicious! Be warned most of their pastries are pretty big so you should be prepared to share. I haven't tried their cakes yet but will be ordering from them for the next occasion. I wasn't too impressed with their version of the smoked salmon open sandwich because it was difficult to eat. Everything fell apart and/or would break down easily to make a balanced bite. I would imagine it's the same for all of the open sandwiches. Everyone should give this spot a chance if you passing through the chantilly area.
