The Gateau House

That classic cake shop that a tonne of kids grew up with knew of ‘cus that’s all everyone ate. Even though there’s so many new cake places that has appeared over the yrs, this place will always be a favourite filled with sweet childhood memories. Anyways, this post ain’t actually about their cake ‘cus I’m sure the whole country knows about them. I had this beautiful matcha cake a while ago and discovered the taste of their macarons which I definitely need more of. Ok, macarons in general are just stunning but I remember this was kinda different. The filling was deliciously creamy.

I love this place! I have been to 3 branches. The service and variety is good, great value for quality. The seating area is super cute and a great place to bring children, friends, coworkers etc

However, we’ve all been here before we will strive through it again Let’s follow our local guidelines, stay home if possible, use the contact tracing app when out, keep a safe distance,

Had such a pleasant experience here every time I visit, especially most recently! We got a slice of their mango fresh cream cake (an all time fave), matched with the Paris tea and it was absolutely divine. The mango cake is fresh and tasty nice mixture of cream and flavour without it being too much of anything. <br/ <br/ The experience was elevated by the beautiful outdoor seating area, where the natural light shines through and makes your time there just that much better! This is not only an excellent choice for dessert, but also a great place to get away from your busy lives to just wind down. <br/ <br/ Also worth noting the service is lovely! The lady who served us was so sweet we ordered one slice and one pot of tea to share between two, and without us having to ask, she provided us with two sets of everything, how thoughtful! On top of that, she serviced us with a great attitude and a nice smile!<br/ <br/ Service: 10/10<br/ Food: 9/10<br/ Ambiance: 10/10

Rating 4.0. Got there late in the day, there was still a good range of cakes available, but not much bread. Got some brioche buns, a Mont Blanc some macarons to go. Everything was yum, especially the Mont Blanc, filled with cream but not overly sweet. Service was ok, not overly quick.
