Gateaux Patisserie

Came here solely for the partisan hot chocolate that they advertised. The shop is quite adorable and very well designed. The employees were nice and cordial. But in my very humble opinion the pastries are outrageously overpriced. $11.50 for a slice of cheesecake that is not any different than a $4 slice. The hot chocolate had a very weird odor and it is beyond sweet. Two sips in and I couldn’t continue. I couldn’t tell if it was bitter or sweet or just smelt very weird. Best of luck to this establishment but for me it just doesn’t fit my budget nor my tastebuds. I really wanted to like it.

I’ve been coming here for a while with family, nice setting. I love the Biscoff cake, what made me write the review is the new Crème Brulee iced coffee, Excellent!!! Will Keep coming back for this coffee thanks

Love their desserts and their new hot chocolate ☕️. And they are always on point with their Harry Potter theme 🦁 🐍

Oh my goodness! This patisserie is so adorable. From the outdoor seating to indoor. It's immaculately kept! Super clean, super chic. The colors and everything so well thought through. And of course the coffee and sweets were scrumptious! One of the best shops to get a sweet treat in Michigan!

Got the biscoff cheesecake, fancy hot chocolate and the carrot cake and SO GOOD! The service was great everyone was so kind. Definitely sweet and rich hot chocolate, couldn’t drink it all but very delicious!

Very cute place with yummy desserts. Only downside is it can be a little overpriced but I had no complaints. I would go again.

The ambiance of this very cute French Pastry Bakery did not match the quality when we stopped in. Everything looked amazing but it tasted a day old. I was shocked. I was so excited to try their food but it didn't live up to my expectations. It lacked in freshness. Quality didn't match the price. Fantastic decor, but at the end of the day it's the taste of the baked goods that matters far more.

Excellent sweets with rich flavour and superb texture. The cheese cake was dangerously delicious 😋. Also tried the chamomile and fell in love with it there. The seating is nice and relaxing. Overall good use of space and nice view outside. I applaud the owners for matching the quality with the price. Well worth it.

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.

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.

The service was excellent and they offered us a free refill of water for our tea! The chocolate mousse cake was to DIE FOR and it was so moist and decadent. The macarons were also baked perfectly! There is a lot of space to sit and the interior was very pretty!

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.

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.

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!

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! The cakes alone are a reason to go, so aesthetically pleasing. The ladies working there also give the best recommendations, can never go wrong!

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 also received a custom cake for my birthday and it was lovely, the cake was moist and the frosting was delicious and not too sweet. I have never had a less than fantastic dessert here and I will continue to return. Check out my Instagram for more @hangry_detroiter

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.

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.

What an amazing place this is! Service is nice and friendly! loved it! And of course the atmosphere, decoration and seating are nice and cozy!

I have to say, gateaux is very delicious I think their service is excellent I love the ambience of the place they did some drastic improvements like making the place bigger added more staff, since I been there before I enjoyed the pastries, their coffee is great too. I recommend it to anybody who likes sweets like a bit of French or a bit of Middle Eastern they got it all so just go there and have yourself some fun with sweets

Yeah, it is NOT what it used to be. Long gone is the sweet Parisian patisserie with fully stocked with beautiful confections. And the ones that are there are meager comparatively, they've shrunk in size and doubled in price. Going to Cannelle (in Ann Arbor) for my treats...

So cute - LOOOVE the interior first of all. The pastries were also DELISH as was the rose latte I got. Very fun for the girls. Good service, gender neutral/family bathroom. Parking nearby.

OMG go get the biscoff cheesecake. Best cheesecake I've ever had. And the best part is, it's not too sweet. The inside is super cute and has a lot of nice places to sit and take some insta worthy photos.

Sugar dreams, sugar fantasies and sugar love. If you don't like macaroons after this place you will. The sugar will put you into a sugar coma where you will be transported to Paris. The sweets are edible art not only does it look good it tasted divine. I am not a macaroon lover but after these macaroons I am obsessed. They alone are worth the trip. The design of the store down to the mirror reminds you of a French patisserie. Yea, coffee and lattes are meant to be enjoyed with your sugary confections. It's great for catching up with your girls or a romantic Trip with your significant other. Come stay relax and pop a sugary treat into your mouth

Perfect place for Instagram pictures. Everything is very well decorated and warm/inviting. There is lots of hues of pink from the wallpaper to the furniture. The pastries were tasty and the employees were quick and friendly.

Gateauax's pastries and drinks are as delicious as they are stunning. They are worth a visit- and more! This shop takes great care delivering beautiful cakes and pasteries. I'm always in awe of their creations online- just check out their photos on yelp or their instagram. I'd like to check out their Harry Potter week next time they host it to try some of their butterbeer.

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.

Gorgeous inside and out! But the real show stoppers are the display cases. Well, what's inside the cases! The staff were all very friendly. My wife and I were greeted by a couple members of the staff. The place was bright, clean, and ornate. With plenty of seating. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!!

This place is utter perfection. Decadent desserts, cozy drinks, cute seating. It is a lovely stop any day of the year, but even more fantastic in September, when the place is decked out in magic.... Harry Potter style! Sip sweet butter beers and nibble Hogwarts-themed treats. Try on the invisibility cloak or wizard robes. It is an absolute must-go for us every year.

The worst cake ever!!!! I'll never go back to this place..the cake was all about cream with a disgusting taste

The coffee was just perfect....Pastry was a little on the dry side but was still eatable .. Comfy booths and décoré ... the staff are smiling as they serve and have patients as we took our time to decide what we wanted

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.

Not a lot of choices and no food but they did have what I came for the service is slow so pack your patience she works alone. That's why they are not on any of the delivery apps. The ambiance is beautiful pretty and roomy. A gave 4 stars because the desert labels were unreadable and needs to be rewritten although they are cute but the chalk has worn off.

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!

Always such a treat! I'm a long time customer and my absolute favorite thing is the isaphan macaroon. So so so good! Their cheesecakes and mouse cakes are amazing as well. I've had the pleasure of trying out their custom wedding cakes at a wedding and it was to die for!

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.

If you like a really relaxing place to have a cup of tea or expresso, this is the place.

Delish pastries in a lovely decor!! Nice outdoor terrace when the sun is out. Approved by the French girl!!

Called yesterday about having a cake made for my mother's funeral. They said they could not give me a taste of cake but i could buy one,for the funeral cake. go there today to buy this and i'm told, no , i can only buy mousse cake, not actual cake, for $10 and I can't taste the cake I'll be serving at my mother's funeral. not a fan. and the $10 mousse cake was lame. it's a pretty place.

So imagine spending a little time in Paris And now you find yourself in Dearborn then just like that you feel like you just left The Eiffel Tower. This French bakery is like that feeling. It's not a cheap bakery but if you ever feel like having a business meeting or a casual meet and greet this place is perfect especially with free Internet

I love this place down down Dearborn was missing such a place. The ispahan is the best thing they have along with the knefe cake. They even make the ispahan as a birthday cake size I've gotten it for my wife two years in a row!

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.

If I could give a rating higher than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Anytime I'm visiting Michigan I make sure to stop in for the latte and any pastries, there all so good it's hard to choose. We also were able to get a celebration cake for my niece for her birthday. The service is great and the girls are always so wonderful and sweet. Only downfall is the seating because there only like 5 tables but I recently heard they are expanding. Looking forward to heading back and seeing the new setting. Definitely check this place out!

Wonderful service and the chocolate mousse was to die forAmbience was calm, exactly what I needed after a long day!

This place has been on my list to check out for so long. It is stunning inside and out! They have such a cute outdoor setup so you could safety have a coffee or tea and treat! I came for butterbeer, not realizing that was a special event in September. Oops! I ended up getting a frozen white chocolate mocha. It was delicious and such a treat. They really go the extra mile when making these drinks. All of the pastries looked incredible. I will have to come back again to try some!

The cutest place downtown has to offer! The cakes and cookies were amazing. Definitely a spot to come to with loved ones. It's chic, hospital, and upscale deliciousness.

What a beautiful patisserie!!! Absolutely stunning! More than that, the desserts are impeccable. The theme this month revolves around Harry Potter and the entire place was decorated. Definitely Instagram worth. Gateaux should definitely be on your list for desserts and drinks!

Omg this place is the bomb diggity. I purchased the carrot cake. So yummy. This place is cute and cozy inside. Definitely going back.

Oh my gosh! This place is a little slice of heaven. It's super cute, colorful, and cozy inside. I ordered a half dozen box of macarons, tres leche cake, and a chocolate dessert. I just wish this place was closer to where I live, but definitely worth the drive.

This insta-worthy restaurant is definitely as good as it looks in pictures. Take it from a Cali chick. This posh patisserie is worth the drive. My only feedback is please update your website! It was hard to figure out what we wanted when we were all coming from different areas.

Took a short trip from lansing to Detroit to this decorative and intricate bakery. I asked the bakery clerk what she would recommend, and she said that mini biscoff cheesecake was her favorite. I was pleased with this creamy and rich dessert.

The macaroons are outstanding! Flavorful and colorful, very pretty, and just the right amount of sweetness.

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!

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!

A cute little patisserie, reminiscent of laduree! Perfect for an afternoon tea and a light dessert. My favorite was the cheesecake and the chocolate mousse cake! My friend and I went a little overboard and ordered like 5 desserts (we were not able to finish and had to take like 3 home but they were all very good). Definitely also had to get some tea, since they were a little on the sweeter side! The only downside was that there was not enough seating at the time for the amount of guests in the store. That day, it was raining, so we couldn't sit outside. We stood around for a while waiting for our food to the point where our tea got a little cold. The staff did offer to remake our tea for us, though, which was very thoughtful! Hopefully this will be less of an issue once their expansion is finished!

Stopped in for something sweet. Pastries look pretty but that's where it ends. Pretty did not translate to tasty but they were very pricey. Not something I would recommend. If your going to charge high end prices then the pastry can't just look good, it has to taste good.

I read about this place prior to going. It's a patisserie in Dearborn, Michigan. It's cute and quaint with beautiful desserts. It has a pastel-ly interior, mostly pink. When I went it was a bit sparse with desserts but I went late afternoon. There isn't a large tea selection there and the selection that is there is just standard. I noticed the nice boxes that they have in there pictures for take out have been replaced with a way lesser quality box. This may be explained by COVID-19 having most of the world shut down but I noticed. They were really friendly there. Even though we're in the middle of a pandemic, that place was busy AF.

Lavender coffee and an opera cake was delicious. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We really enjoy their Harry Potter themed desserts too
