When you have lived in a neighborhood for many years, it is great to have a spot that is friendly and professional!! This is the kind of place that greets you warmly and is happy to have your business.. The pastries are done exceptionally and are not overly sweet -baked with a lot of good technique. Also they are open early , another consideration toward their clientele. !! Thanks Marie! read more

Small shop on UES, saved my butt twice now! I initially contacted them about a red velvet Spongebob Squarepants cake for my sisters 16th birthday, a week before her birthday! They accepted the job giving me a reasonable quote! My sister was so incredibly happy I was able to get her the exact cake she wanted! Few weeks later, my friends and I planned a last minute birthday picnic and an afternoon before I called them panicking. They suggested to take a strawberry shortcake cake they already had made and decorate it. I just said I wanted flowers and sent them a few ideas. They managed my expectations, since the cake was small and fragile. At the same time they EXCEEDED my expectations with the way the cake came out! Super cute! AND THEY ADDED GLITTER. My friends and I were OBSESSED. I told them when my birthday or any party comes around we are exclusively using this cake shop! I love that I can text them! They are attentive and reasonable. The shop is small, but full of lovely cakes, ribbons and candles and more. The employees are all very nice and helpful. Seriously this shop is just such a gem! Attached are some pictures of Spongebob cake my sister requested and the last minute little cake for my friend. I carried it for 2-3hrs to the picnic in Montclair so the top cracked, but it really didn't matter to us. Les Gateaux De Marie contributed to making our special memories even more special for which I am so so grateful. read more

We were lucky enough to work with Maria for our wedding and chose a simple cake for cutting but their raspberry pistachio white chocolate cake for the guests. Everything was delivered smoothly and the guests absolutely loved the cake! Maria was so wonderful during the tasting and planning process, and she was able to provide some gluten free slices for a few of our guests! We highly recommend trusting her with your special day! read more

This is a cute small business where they sell pastries, cakes and coffee. You walk in and all the treats really all look delicious. I stoped in to try their coffee. I got a small decaf iced cappuccino. The lady working here was very sweet and made my coffee by hand. This is a great spot to get birthday cakes too and birthday supplies. I will be coming back here to hopefully try out some of their pastries and other kinds of coffee drinks. read more

We received a strawberry short cake as a gift and wow, we were blown away. It was not a typically sweet cake, which I like. I am not a person that can eat a lot of sweets or sugar. The creme was light and fluffy. There were whole strawberries that enhanced the taste. Highly recommend the strawberry short cake, especially for not too sweet sugar loving people! read more

The cake I ordered for a Saturday baby shower was excellent! Delivery went seamlessly and the cake was beautiful! It was also delicious - one tier chocolate, one tier vanilla with French cream filling with fresh strawberries. The delivery was on time and the person was very helpful. The cake was plentiful with extra for guests to take home. read more

Pre ordered a birthday cake here and it was so delicious. Highly recommend their cakes!

Made a special stop based on Yelp ratings and this cute bakery didn't let me down. Usually, fancy looking pastries don't taste as good as they look. But their pastries EAT! Yummmmy! Met and chatted with Maria, the baker herself, and it's quite obvious she bakes with love and passion. Will make this a regular visit when in town! read more

Great pastries and chocolate mousse! Well worth visiting! It is a small store so there is really no place to eat there, except for a small bench outside. I used to bring my mom a treat from there occasionally. Definitely recommend it! read more

Beautiful cake. Had a great experience with Maria. She really does put a lot of effort and care into her cake. Your guest will not only be impressed on how beautiful the looks but also on how amazing it tastes. read more

This storefront is cute with pink awning and a pink outdoor table + chairs to match. It's quite a small store inside, but just enough for two ways of traffic. Their pastries are displayed on a large counter. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and there was only one other customer before me, so service was fast. NY Cheesecake: Quite a sweet cake with a medium (between light and heavy) texture. The crust on the bottom was a tad more wet than I'd prefer, but it can make for easier eating on-the-go. The cheesecake had a pretty browned top and was a good mid-day snack. It's a bit too much to eat in one serving, so I split it with someone else. read more

Wow! Everything here is just simply amazing. I went when they first opened a couple of years ago and have been wanting to go back for a while (I don't live in the neighborhood). Finally made it back and there are a lot more selections than last time!! :-) The gluten/dairy free chocolate chip cookies are out of this world. The opera cake is excellent and the blue berry and raspberry tarts are sooo good, from the quality of the fruity to the texture of tart itself (not to hard but not so soft) and the crème inside which is better than any tart I have ever had (and I'm obsessed with tarts). Wow! I can't say enough about this place- it deserves 6 stars. Everything is good I am now working my way through every dessert item- now that I can order delivery from here I will be a regular customer. read more

Everything went well. I ordered a Buche de Noel and several eclairs and predictably they were scrumptious. A perfect combination of beauty and carefully crafted delicious! Les Gateaux De Marie turns out exquisitely made desserts! read more

Delicious chocolate cake, not very sweet, just completely rich & chocolate-y layers, felt like a lot of real chocolate went into it. The perfect example of a chocolate cake, more in the European style, vs American super sweet. Also the best brownie ever- not too sweet, very moist, fudgy, chocolatey- just perfect. We may have liked even more than the chocolate cake (more moist), and we normally don't like brownies. Met the owner Maria, such a warm person. Happy to support her bakery. read more

Great local bakery! We have been waiting for this spot to open and we were not disappointed in what we purchased. We had: - Napoleon - delicious and flaky. - Pistachio & Raspberry Pastry - Star of the show! Delicious. - Lemon Tart - delicious! - Cupcake - So so. I wouldn't buy again. - Mini Eclairs - chocolate and vanilla, both terrific. We will definitely come back! read more

Beautiful new French Bakery at 82nd Street and First Avenue. Prices are reasonable for fresh baked treats. They specifically make cakes to order. I'm posting many photos of the inside and cute seating outside. No problem with customer service here. The employee was excellent assisting me. They have gluten free coconut cake by the slice. I was dizzy from all the choices. I'm definitely returning. I highly recommend you visit and try a cupcake!! Yummy read more

I ordered a red velvet cake for my daughter's birthday and it was fantastic (sweet, but balanced with the cream cheese frosting). It was also beautiful - delicate piping with a sparkly finish - lots of guests took photos :) I called to confirm a few details and they were kind and helpful throughout the process- would highly recommend this place! read more

Yummy desserts. The crispy heart was a must have! Very adorably store. The owner was so nice and friendly.

Marie is an incredibly talented pastry chef and baker! I decided to order a birthday cake from her after enjoying her desserts on multiple occasions and was not disappointed. Marie gave me an even better cake than my reference photo! It was so beautiful and it tasted AMAZING! When does a pretty cake taste nice?! I ordered vanilla cake with crème and raspberry filling btw. read more

I really wanted to hate this place bc it is expensive. I'm sorry but no small piece of pastry should cost $9+. This was the price range for the French pastries. Having said that, I still ordered a slice of kinder cake ~ $9.50, cupcake ~ $3.50, chocolate croissant ~$3 but only bc it was after 5pm when croissants are 50% off. All items were super delicious! The cupcake looked like you could purchase at a supermarket but it was one of the best cupcakes I have tasted! The chocolate croissant was on par with any good croissant in the city. The star was obviously the star of the show! I'm not comfortable with the price point but if you're willing to shell out $9+ for a French pastry, go for it! read more

We ordered cake-in-a-jar for our daughter's school birthday party from Maria directly. Maria was super responsive with all of our questions. We love how these came out and it was a huge hit!

Love the pieces of cake I have had here. Jaffa cake is my favorite. Opera cake looks amazing but it's too espresso heavy for my liking. They always have some delicious goodies to sample. I didn't like their blueberry scones - too dry. Will be back to try more. After 5:30 pm, their baked goods are 50% off. read more

The dessert was dry and not fresh. I realized it was sitting in the fridge for a few days. Also, Les Gateaux De Marie is costly. I recommend staying away from this bakery as there are many betters ones., read more

Our wedding cake was the cherry on top of our dream wedding. Maria was very warm and welcoming through the whole process. We were able to do a tasting in the store, and all the flavors were so yummy. We ended up going with mixed berries and cream - it was delicious! Maria was easy to communicate with about pricing, delivery, and aesthetic. 10/10 would recommend going here for your wedding cake. read more

You should tell customers that a raspberry chocolate cake will come without raspberries if you ask for writing. I definitely would have chosen the raspberries if I was told since the cake had no taste of raspberries. I never complained of any cake before. this one's chocolate cream topping was so dense and tasted like it came out of a can. No one liked it and no one had more than 1 or 2 bites and we threw it out. I didn't get any satisfaction when I complained to the owner. It was definitely not the quality of an $85 cake. read more

The cakes were fabulous!! The best chocolate cake I ever tasted. Ariel was amazing! I was worried about carrying two heavy cakes. He helped me carry the cakes out to a cab. Such fabulous customer service! read more

I had a rush custom order which I placed at 4pm and picked up the following morning at 11am. It was for a tart for a special occasion. Everyone loved it. The custard was extraordinary and the fruit, organic. Utterly perfect. There wasn't a piece leftover. Will definitely order again. Their bread is also incredible. The shop is beautiful. read more

Marie was a delight! She was very relaxed and calm in what was a hectic wedding planning for me and my wife. If you set an appointment for a cake tasting with her, just make sure to call ahead the day of, as there was a little confusion when I arrived; but the cake samples I tried were freshly made and delicious! When I showed her my design for the wedding cake, she was able to recreate it in real life near-flawlessly, while offering her professional opinions from time to time during the process. All four flavors of the cake tiers were delicious and looked so beautiful and professional. She uses a trusted taxi driver to deliver the cake, and was understanding when a few things went wrong last minute, but she came up herself to make sure everything went fine! I would definitely recommend Marie for making our wedding dreams come true! read more

Ordered two birthday cakes from here. A Jaffa cake and a coconut pineapple cake. Both were truly amazing with the right amount of sweetness. The 9 inch cake serves at least 15 people. read more

Nice staff. Very Friendly answered all my questions. I judge a boulangerie (though this may be less of a boulangerie and more of a cake shop) by its plain croissant and sadly the one I tried was far too doughy and lacked any texture. The croissant was not terrible by any means just not anything I would want to get again. I should have relied upon the namesake of the establishment and tried some sort of cake or cake like pastry instead. With so many other French pastry options in this area hard to see myself going here for viennoiserie , but I'll see if any of the sweeter more decadent items shine. read more

This 5 star review is for the custard filled choux. So fresh! Apparently all the pastries are baked in house. The staff is friendly and helpful. Will definitely return. read more

This is a review for catering services for desserts for a large birthday party. Marie was easy to work with. She created whatever I asked for. She was prepared, punctual and made the most delicious desserts. All sorts, including cakes, petit four and other mini delicacies. We had ten different mini desserts and they were all wonderful. My guests ate every single piece and they raved about every single one. She also makes custom cakes at a fair price. read more
