The cream puff choux were dry, and the slice of strawberry cake had tart strawberries, while the cake itself was overly sweet. Everything else was similarly lackluster.

The café is located in a lovely area where you can either enjoy your meal inside or sit outside. The menu offers a wide variety of options for both food and drinks. I love stopping by here every morning before work—it truly brightens my day! I definitely recommend it!

My daughter chose this cake because it isn’t overly sweet. It was very fresh and delicious, although I found it a bit small for the price. read more My daughter chose this cake because it isn’t overly sweet. It was very fresh and delicious, although I found it a bit small for the price.

There are other Gateaux locations near this one, but this one has the most goods. This is also a Korean bakery chain. Love their goguma (sweet potato latte when they have it during the colder season.Unfortunately inflation/the economy caused the prices on a lot of the bakery items to go up. I will say that the drink prices are still very fair, as are many of the lil' bread items.You'll just have to try their items to figure out which ones you like most. Personally their curry doughnut and mochi (served in a pack of four , along with their coffee-cream filled bread loaf are my fave bakery items of theirs. They also sell bingsu (shave ice but it's not good value imo.I know some reviews said that the bakery ladies were mean, but tbh they're overall pretty polite, just not bubbly/cheerful (which they don't owe you! .The interior is also great for getting work done on your laptop.
