    Today, we picked up a princess cake for grandma's birthday. It is a very specific cake, but the woman knows what she likes. While we were in the bakery, we also picked up a strawberry cupcake, a strawberry macaron, and a Napoleon. The strawberry macaron had the perfect crunch to it on the outside and the inside the texture was just right, and it was very flavorful. The cream between the macaron shells had sweet little explosions of strawberry flavor, like the strawberries were dried, and then added to the cream without being chewy. It was very interesting and my son loved. The star of the show was a princess cake. My MIL loves princess cakes and she noted that this one was exceptionally moist and delicious which is perfect. I just wanted to make her day and I'm glad that we found le Gateau Elegant to help us make her day even more special.

    I have always wanted to try this cute little cake shop because I heard that they had princess cakes. Not only do they have princess cakes, but they have princess cake slices! When I went in the shop, it is so cute and the service is so nice! It said they were hiring and it made me wanna work there! Everything looks so good but let's get to the taste. I bought a slice of the green princess cake with the raspberry filling because that is classic. It was absolutely delicious! so yummy ! so perfectly made! I can't wait to go back and try the orange princess cake with an apricot filling! I've never heard of that. I don't think we do that in Sweden, but I've never met a princess cake that I didn't like and I love apricot filling so I'm excited to try it. I also love that the parking was easy. They are only open Tuesday through Saturday so be aware of that great place!!

    Small, but mighty bakery with limited parking. I came here intrigued by their raving reviews for Swedish Princess Cake. They had two tables inside, but it seemed like a lot of their customers were doing takeout orders. They also don't have restrooms. We shared a slice of the princess cake, tiramisu, and the raspberry crumble. I asked if the raspberry crumble slice can be slightly heated since it was rock hard to grab piece it, but I guess that's not how you're supposed to eat it because they clearly don't do that haha. The tiramisu was everyone's favorite. The princess cake was good, just not as good as the one from SF. I think it was the ratio of the layers that was a miss for me. Their cakes look amazing and seem to be very popular. But I'm onto my next find for a comparable Swedish princess cake to the one I had from SF.

    Peanut butter cookie & key lime macaron. Both baked to perfection!
    Natasha K.

    All their stuff looked yummy. I opted for a peanut butter cookie and a key lime macaron. Both were baked to perfection. The texture of each were just what I'd expect (chewy/soft). They had some cakes and basic cupcakes and mini pies too. Couple of seats in there, and had an easy transaction with the employee.

    This is a cute little spot with great decor and a nice selection of treats for the size of the shop. There is even some indoor seating. I sampled some petit fours, macarons and cupcakes and everything was ok but the cake was a little dry for my taste and the petit fours had a thick coating, almost as if they had been frozen. They were not delicate and fresh tasting as I had hoped. We did enjoy our macarons and the girl who helped us was nice but when I asked for a restroom she said they did not have one for public use. Most establishments make a restroom available for paying customers at eateries so I was disappointed but overall I probably would not return here anyway. Parking was a nightmare and it seems more geared towards customized cakes orders than stop-ins for treats.

    Princess cake
    Catherine B.

    Le Gateau is my partner's go-to cake for all birthdays, every year! Their princess cake is a repeat request every year and everyone always asks about where the cake is from. The sponge cake is lightly sweet and fluffy and the marzipan isn't overly almond. I like their chocolate decadence - super rich and chocolately and pairs really well with ice cream or whipped cream. They're awesome here - we've called days in advance and hours in advance and they've accommodated us well every time.

    This is the bread pudding that I bought with mold on it

    Found mold on my food. Quite a bit of it. The girl in the front was very nice but mold is inexcusable

    The large chocolate cake is the Kahlúa chocolate. It is to die for.
    Amy W.

    The chocolate Kailua cake is to die for! I have had it for 3 different occasions now and it is perfect. Not too sweet. Different layers of deliciousness. It's a must buy if you like chocolate cake. I have also had the princess cake and can say it's the Best is the Bay! I was surprised to see the other day that they also have pies. I feel like pie is a great dish to bring to a family function. So the next time my parents have I get together. I will definitely be stopping in to buy a pie. I love how they have a variety of cookies and slices of cake.

    Bridal shower cake

    Karen and Jackie were an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From my engagement party cake to the bridal shower cake, and finally to our stunning wedding cake, everything they created was both beautiful and delicious. Our wedding cake featured layers of chocolate cake with truffle and raspberry, Swedish princess, and chocolate/vanilla cake with mocha buttercream. The flavor and texture of the cake was incredible--we received so many compliments from our guests! Thank you so much, Karen and Jackie, for bringing my dream wedding cake to life I highly recommend Le Gateau Elegant for any special occasion!

    My husband order the princess cake from here for my birthday. I'm usually not too crazy about princess cakes, but this one was absolutely delicious! It's a vanilla cake with custard and red raspberry filling. It was nice and fluffy and not too sweet. And it was wrapped in marzipan and was soo good! Overall, such a delicious cake and look forward to trying their other flavors.

    Slices of Yule Log and Princess cake
    Alokenanda L.

    This bakery has maintained its standards over the years as I dropped in after over a decade during the holidays, on a whim, and decided to take the Yule log and Princess cake slices to go. Service was warm and friendly topped only by the deliciousness of the confections. The cakes were top notch quality and very, very reasonably priced given today's inflationary environment. Give this bakery a try. You won't be disappointed.

    We are going with Old Towne Danville Bakery as our baker for our wedding cake later this year. As…read moresoon as I walked in, it smelled SO good that I practically wanted to order one of everything they had. Karen, the owner, took the time to walk me through the sampler box of the different wedding cake flavors, even though it started to get busy in the store she was very kind to make it a personal experience. There were 12 different flavors in the sampler ranging from standard red velvet or vanilla cake, to some fancier ones such as poppy seed cake with lemon curd. Our favorite was the vanilla cake with apricot preserve and we will almost certainly be having that as one of our layers. I am very excited to continue working with them as we design our cake and next time I go in I will definitely be grabbing one of th delicious looking cannoli!

    This review is LONG overdue! Karen and Marci worked with us to create our amazing wedding cake in…read moreMarch, and were so lovely to work with! I was super overwhelmed handling other wedding details, and every conversation with them made me feel so comfortable. I talked to Karen a week beforehand to confirm all cake details, and she was SO warm and had the best "We got this! Don't even worry" attitude - I can't even describe how relieved she made me feel. They were able to make our whole cake gluten-free due to my own allergy. I have had celiac for almost 20 years, and still can't even bake anything remotely edible after countless attempts. The fact that they made this cake gluten free and we all RAVED about it is 1) a miracle in itself and 2) makes me actively very jealous that I can't try their normal baked goods! I didn't even really eat dinner at my own wedding, but you bet I had two pieces of cake. We are super grateful, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake!

    I'm sad to have to drop by my rating. I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

    Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

    Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day
