Came here with a friend for coffee & dessert. This place is very bright and airy. They have lots of tables and seating for people to socialize or study. The pistachio latte I got was delicious! It was not too sweet and had a good nutty flavor that didn't taste artificial. The cakes we got were good but I definitely preferred the blueberry lemon cake over the chocolate. The chocolate cake was a bit dry. I love the packing and aesthetic of everything. It's very classy and cute. read more

I absolutely love the sweets and treats that are sold here! Especially the creme brûlée! The coffee and teas are bold with flavor and the treats are gourmet! So far I've been here 3 times specifically for the creme brulee and if they don't have creme brulee (only one time that has happend to me) I get a creme brulee latte as far as pricing it's a bit on the expensive side. It was about $8 for a latte. The treats are like $14 and some are like 4-$8. The service was fast and efficient and I love the Togo packaging. They also have icecream but I didn't try any. As far as the vibe here it's definitely giving Hogwartz for girls just cause all the pink but it's definitely it limited to girls. It's very decorative and nostalgic! I recommend going as dining in, they give you super cute dishes. The photos you take will forever look delicious. read more

Such a cute spot for French inspired pastries and very picture worthy. There weren't any vegan pastries, which was a bummer, but the oat milk latte was pretty good. I went around 8 pm on a Tuesday and there were at least 15 people in there and many in line, so I'm sure it gets crowded on the weekend. read more

Loved my matcha latte and cake! Will be coming back on my next visit to Detroit to try their macarons read more

I've been coming to this shop right around when it opened. It's always been kind of pricey, but it's oh so delicious. My favorite is the ispahan, as it is the only place I have been able to get this delicious dessert done well in the United States. The knafeh cheesecake is also fantastic, though I think it's only available around the holidays like Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, and Ramadan. They also seem to be adding different savory items like a zaatar danish. Those also looked good so maybe it'll be worth a try next time. read more

The service was excellent, very polite! The place is spacious, clean and very well decorated. The cheesecake and box was great, I wish the cheesecake its self had some Biscoff flavour to it rather than crush sprinkles and quarter cookie on top. Also $11 for the size and flavour is a bit much. read more

This place is very Cute with French influence and welcoming. Pastries are fancy and not over sugared which are my taste. They are rather pricy but since everything is pricy nowadays, it is not my concerns. I enjoyed my afternoon chatting with my friend. Only thing is that there are tropical plants by the entrance from parking lot, but all of them are looking unhealthy. I'm afraid the temperature becomes too cold or lacking of humidity by the door in winter. read more

5/2024. Went back because I want some sweets late at night. Now it is $11 for a square of cardamom carrot cake or fruit cake. It is very good, moist, layers of cream and sponge. Tiramisu is probably the cheapest one there and they are gone quick. read more

Second visit to Gateaux Patisserie in less than a month, so that tells you something right there. I got some more of their eclairs - these are some of the best I've had. I opted for a Honey Cookie (I forget the exact name) and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie. The Honey Cookie did not have a strong taste of honey. Rather it tasted more like a snickerdoodle, but was moister with a nice chew. I really liked the cream cheese frosting because it didn't have a strong cream cheese tang, but was sweeter and richer. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie was absolutely delicious. Chewy in texture, but with enough crisp edges to make for a delightful contrast. This cookie packs a big chocolatey punch, which I like. Definitely, one of the best I've had. read more

Phenomenal patisserie in the area! Beautiful setting for the gram, both the spacious indoors and outdoor seating area. As an out-of-towner, I really wished I could've had one of everything. I settled for the cardamom pistachio carrot cake and the biscoff cheesecake, which is what they're known for. You definitely need to try that cheesecake -- it's a good one to split with others and have a bite of -- but the carrot cake is scrumptious. Take it from me, you WILL regret splitting this! Perfect spot for solo dessert day, date spot or a delicious gift for someone! read more

I have been a fan of Gâteaux since the beginning. I am in awe of and root for women like the Beydoun sisters for taking risks and opening up a French pastry place in an area in need of tasty desserts. So, I was looking forward to revisiting it after a recent renovation. A trip nearby prompted this impromptu visit. The spot looked double in size. The décor had changed from looking like a Ladurée Parisian tea shop, pale green-greys and white with gold accents, floral chandelier, dainty pink teapots, and flowers. Now, the décor has a more mid-century modern vibe. Yes, there is still pink velvet seating, mixed in with green, and golden ones. I like the multitude of booths, natural lighting, and open spaces. However, the low rating is due to the pastries that I purchased. The first was a tart with pastry cream topped with berries. The crust was not crisp/crunchy, but soft, and broken in several places. The fruit was several days old, mushy, and unappetizing. The second one is the Ispahan, a larger version of a macaron with cream inside, surrounded by raspberries. Both of the macaron biscuits were good but the cream had become a slurry and the raspberries were old. The only saving grace was the Opera cake. A rectangular cake slice with layers of espresso-soaked cake and layers of chocolate and coffee creams, topped with chocolate ganache. The cake was moist and delicious. At approx $9/treat, I had higher expectations. Service was friendly. read more

Do not recommend the eclair or anything but there chocolate macarons and there lavender lemonade that's all that is good there.and I spent like $86 I would love a refund or something please read more

Baffled by the presentation-definitely not worth the price. I paid $35 for 12 very small macaroons and was honestly shocked by the awful presentation. They tossed them in a plain paper bag like I was at a donut shop. I asked if she can put them in a nice box as I am taking them to a small event, the lady just dropped the bags into the box, sealed it with that cheap tape that reminded me of when teacher's send home a letter for the kindergartner, and called it a day--no padding, no care, no effort. For a place with such cute decor and good reviews, I expected way more. Not worth the price, and I definitely won't be back. read more

GORGEOUS cafe/bakery! one of my go-to spots for when family/friends come to town. the decor itself is a reason to go, especially during the fall when they have a harry potter theme going on. the food is also AMAZING, so yummy and pretty!

My family and I were in the area and wanted an evening sweet treat. Gateaux was a two minute walk from our hotel. My two sons decided on two cookies (regular chocolate and chocolate chocolate chip) and I split a chocolate mousse cream puff type dessert. For those three items, it was 20.00. My dessert was good but not worth 10.00 (cookies were essentially $5.00 each). Everyone was friendly, cute little place, but expensive. I've paid less in NYC or Las Vegas. I would not return based on prices. read more

I really wanted to love this place especially reading all the reviews. The vibe was definitely like Bottega Louie in Los Angeles, especially with all the delicious pasties. I was happy with the late hours which allowed us to grab dessert post dinner. There were lots of beautiful dessert options. We opted for the chocolate cake to share at the bakery. The cake was moist and not too sweet. It was a nice size to share as well. Overall, the bakery was cute, but looked a little run down. read more

I understand the appeal of this place. This place screams AESTHETIC. It's decorated beautifully and thoughtfully and looks so attractive from every angle and in every post on Instagram, and they know exactly what they're doing! I saw posts of this place on Instagram and immediately wanted to visit. It's clearly inspired and modeled after Laduree, a popular French bakery, and so it's definitely fun to see a space like this randomly in Michigan. But it doesn't help that I have been to many Laduree locations in the past, so my brain just naturally jumps to comparing the two together. It's definitely quite the drive from me, and it was worth the trip, but it's definitely overhyped as well. This place definitely focuses a bit more heavily on appearance rather than substance, so the food and service were a bit of a let down and just generally the Instagram vs. reality trap happened here. Up close and personal, you can tell that the furniture is worn and dirty. They have a lot of light-colored chairs that have seen a lot of butts, and in this age of the pandemic, I not only want to be located far away from everyone, I also certainly do not want to be seeing visible signs of dirt in places that serve food. The flow of this patisserie is also a bit wonky. The order counter is right at front, but you have to walk the length of the store to look at the display cabinet so the line is very confused and a bit all over the place. This also is a spot that is a bit too popular right now for the amount of seating it can handle. We had people overstaying their welcome long after they had finished all the food they had ordered, we had more people coming in and immediately snagging a table that was vacating before they had even gone up to the counter to place an order, so it was quite the mess and my friend and I were left waiting an abnormally long amount of time for a seat - well after all our food had been ready for us. We ordered a bunch, so we had to start eating some of it while we were just standing there, which felt so awkward. It also didn't help that we went on a rainy day, so their giant outdoor patio space was out of commission since everything was wet. Food-wise, everything looks so beautiful and incredible, once again, but falls a bit short when it comes to taste. Nothing is bad! Just nothing is great either. Everything is solid to good, which is not bad. Perhaps my expectations were just a bit too high. All of the people working behind the counter were super duper friendly. They were very understanding and apologetic about how busy things were and I give them a ton of credit and do not blame them at all for the slow service and the wonky seating. I know that kind of stuff is hard to manage. We did have a good amount of time just standing there to watch them fulfilling orders, and generally they do seem a bit disorganized, but I can tell they are doing their very best right now. All in all, it's a fun experience, but I'd highly recommend going on a good weather day or an off-peak time. Our favorite dessert was probably their cake and I am definitely interested in getting one of their full cakes for a special occasion in the future. They look absolutely stunning! read more

People rave about Gateaux Patisserie -and for a good reason! The desserts are perfectly crafted and the quality is always on point. I always try to get a variety of desserts when I visit but I can't resist the raspberry isphan!

I have never had a less than fantastic dessert here and I will continue to return. Check out my Instagram for more @hangry_detroiter read more

They've expanded since our last visit, which was about 3 years ago. I decided to come here and get some work done while waiting for my husband to get off work. Staff were very nice and the cafe was very cute. The opera cake is not as good as I remember it being - it's a lot sweeter and also a lot more expensive. $11 for a slice of cake is more than NYC prices. I also had a London Fog latte with almond milk and it was delightful. read more

Une bon patisserie! Everything hit the mark. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating with excellent service. With such a beautiful selection you will have a hard time choosing, but the clerks were super helpful. I choose two pastries that weren't as pretty as their counterparts, but oh so satisfying. The carrot cake was super moist with the perfect level of sweetness. From now on I will add cardamom and pistachios to my recipe. The biscotti cheesecake for tonight. I loved their chai made from loose tea and aromatics. They are expanding to take over half the complex while adding a brunch menu. Can't wait! There is a small parking lot off to the side of the building. read more

It's hard to find a French pastry place in Michigan... or at least in Ann Arbor. Gateaux has a beautiful interior and beautiful desserts to match. I wish COVID wasn't a thing so I could've dined in. Each dessert is carefully made and almost too perfect. Makes you feel a bit bad for stabbing your fork into them. My friends got 4 different pastries to share and all were not too sweet but flavorful. The texture of the eclair was great, and the creams tasted freshly whipped. The coffee is pretty decent too (I got the latte). The person at the front was also really nice and understanding of our indecisiveness! read more

Could I love this place any more? I no longer care that the pastries are on the pricey side (and that's saying a lot!). I was so pleased with how easy it was to order and pickup pastries safely from here. I placed an online order through Door Dash for pickup (and they offered a discount at the time), then picked it up curbside. Easy Peasy and safe! And the order was accurate! Usually one of those things doesn't work out perfectly in this COVID world, but Gateaux was perfect! And of course the pastries were more than perfect. I've long been a fan of the Ispahan (macaron filled with cream and raspberries), which is still delicious. Recently, Gateaux started offering mini cakes, so I shared a few with the fam so we could try several. The Biscoff was airy and flavorful, the Smore was delicious, and the carrot cake was also great. So try any of the mini cakes, they'll probably be great. I'd also like to mention their social media postings. Someone who works here has an amazing eye for design. Not only does the shop have impeccable design, and the colors are astounding - all give a very sophisticated and luxury vibe while also being very appealing - but the photos they post are always absolutely perfect and will brighten your day to just to look at them. And if you ever go to the shop on a special occasion (Christmas time, Valentine's Day, Harry Potter month), the decorations are always cool and impeccable too. I am so grateful for this little patisserie in my hometown! read more

Everything we've tried has been amazing. We had a yummy carrot cake, eclair, mille feuille, creme brulee, and this pistachio pastry that was soooo good... My favorite is the Opera cake with it's thin layers of coffee soaked almond cake, ganache, and butter cream. It's unreal. I'm only giving three stars because, well... We went in once and decided to order carry out. I would gladly have chosen to enjoy our desserts at one of the many tables, but the smell of rosewater was so overwhelming. It had me coughing and gagging and I had to go back to the car while my husband waited for the order. Since then, we have ordered online for pick up and have had orders delivered by the food delivery apps. I do feel there is a higher value for your dollar when choosing to go in and order... but one of the signature desserts (Ispahan Cake) is made with rosewater so I don't expect the shop will ever not cause the reaction I had. read more
