This place has the best coffee, hands down. Â My mom and I like to visit once in a while, grab a pastry and coffee, and talk. Â It's a Korean bakery, but I like it much better than their competition, Parisienne in Fort Lee and Northvale. Â I find this place better stocked and larger in space. . Â They also have awesome homemade ice cream pops in their freezer case, which I highly recommend. Â Their selection of cakes are great. Â My absolute favorite is the strawberry shortcake. Â They don't use very heavy whipping cream, as do other bakeries. Â I have one every year on my birthday. Â My mom likes their bread loaves and pretty much everything they sell here and is here at least twice a week stocking up. Â If I'm in the area, I'll bypass starbucks and come here for coffee.
Review Source:I've been to Gateaux several times to try out their different pastries. I was really pleased with my first pastry - it was a mocha cream bread and it was delicious. The price was also alright - under $5.00 I believe. Everything else is so expensive and mediocre at best. I've bought a few other pastries that are not so memorable as well as cookies that were.... meh. I've also had their pot bing su and it was also... meh. I have not found the mocha cream bread anywhere else so I will continue to go back to Gateaux occasionally for that. As for the other pastries and cakes, I'd go to Cafe Savoy.
Review Source:Came here on a hot day with my gf. Thank God she is Korean. She ordered the Pat pi soo. Red bean shaved ice with fruit. It's very light and refreshing. They use frozen yogurt. I think other places use condensed milk which I love on toast. Maybe not with my shaved ice.
I want to try their baked goods but there is next time.
The interior of this bakery is...well....okay, but they do have a large variety of snacks, desserts, etc, but even larger seating area. You'd probably feel out of place if you weren't a middle to older aged Korean housewife who wanted to know what's what or who's who in this small town.
Review Source:Great bakery with a Korean twist and a wide variety of drinks and pastries. As a Chinese American, this bakery meets my fix for Asian styled pastries. Â Other choice is the Savoy Cafe in Tenafly which is very small. Very freshly baked goods and an attractive layout for hanging out. Located in a pocket of a large but not too busy shopping center, it may be hard to find.
Not too busy, meaning I hope it doesn't close for lack of business. Â Definitely the word needs to come out about these small quality businesses; otherwise Closter would only have Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and fast food joints to hang out. Â Pass the word.
