Delicious treats, friendly staff, and a cute interior… they’re currently doing a Harry Potter takeover with some themed decor, treats, and butter beer. Definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area, even worth a trip out of your way to go. I know I’ll be looking to go back again.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was all of the girlie vibes that I want in a place. It was clean and chic, and all things sweet 🍰 Honestly, cant wait to go back because they had soooo many delicious looking treats that I didnt get to try. Out of the ones we got this time, the cheesecake was definitely a favorite. But Id 100% get all of them again. And the LAVENDER LEMONADE 💜💜💜💜 it was soooo refreshing. My husband even liked the lemonade, which if youve read any of my reviews before he is known for how picky he can be.:I definitely recommend this place, and cant wait to go back. I mean the outside pink trees would bring me back alone. 🌸

We decided to stop here for dessert and latte, six of us. It is the cutest little french pastry shoppe with variety of coffee, lattes, tea. Many delicious pastries, moose, cheesecake, raspberry tart, filled croissants, torte, st. Julians apple carmel filled pastry, macaroons, etc.Inside and outside dining. Only desserts. No plastic silverware here, regular size tea cups and spoons. Love the cherry blossom trees. Friendly staff and very helpful, especially for my mom who is 88. Will be back.

Great service. Wonderful experience amazing lavender lemonade

Staff was friendly but did not bring us out anything, despite us needing to carry out the table number. The staff was nice to suggest themselves to add happy birthday to our pastry because we were celebrating so I would come back. The rose lemonade and fresh berry pastry was delicious!

Omg! Love this place. First time visit because they do a Harry Potter theme. Including treats, drinks, and decor. The staff was very friendly and made sure all orders were correct. Pastries are handmade and are Instagram worthy. Prices vary from 3.25 on up. If coming for HP, they have sorting hat macarons and butterbeer to name a few! Definitely will be back!

I went here with a friend and if was amazing. It was so hard to choose and everything was beautifully displayed. The food (that I tried) was great. I loved seeing some patesserie I recognized from the GBB in the display case!

Absolutely great service and absolutely great pastry! Asked for a custom made design for some macaroons and absolutely loved it! 💙💙💙💙

After my first time sitting inside, I have decided this is truly my last visit (for a plethora of reasons). I started patronizing this establishment when they first opened, because I thought it reflected a glimmer of promise mirroring my many tea parties at the Ritz. So many times I was over charged for simple trifles, and objects in the display case weren’t marked, so you couldn’t dispute the appalling bills. To buy pastries for a party of three (every time I came), my bill totaled around $55-$70. Then to arrive home to either spoiled or stale desserts, was a HUGE disappointment. I stopped patronizing them once I realized it was just so much more brilliant to bake my own desserts, suit to my own taste. However I didn’t come to them because I couldn’t bake, I came because everyone likes to take a break from slaving in a kitchen all day. It’s a part of human nature to desire to serve and be served (properly, and with respectful decorum). Staff were known for taking other people’s orders (who arrived after me) before mine. They were perpetually perplexed and lost. I finally came in to sit down, hoping to find the establishment changed, then to find things worse than the same. During a racial pandemic, I found myself baffled that my mother-daughter day ended with my mother feeling belittled and discriminated against. Consistency is key to a thriving businesses, as well are repeat customers. Tables were not bused or cleaned swiftly, per COVID mandates. We were not served at our table, but were rather expected to pick up our food from next to the garbage can. Our tea came in sachets, rather than the pot (of endless refills that was purchased). Then I looked around in disappointment as I viewed other women’s tables getting served by hand, with tea pots in tow. Every woman wants to feel special, and that we did not. My mother being one of the only visible patrons of colour, made me realize that things haven’t really changed at all here, and that the business is not inclusive. When the discrepancy was noted, empty excuses were made and my mother came away with six tea sachets in a to-go cup for her troubles. No I didn’t expect better compensation out of this business, that was (anyway) before I had witnessed them extend proper compensation to the disagreeable women shouting at the beginning of my trip. For her discontentment she was given four free drinks all adjusted to her liking, on the house. And then she had a full refund extended to her for her whole table’s desserts at the finality of the trip. In short, staff (whether temporary or not) are a reflection of the management, and will only perform to the standard they are held to. I didn’t come seeking free desserts, I just simply wanted my hardworking mother to feel special, and I am ASHAMED to say they rather made her feel both dehumanized and invisible.

I had a very pleasant experience here and found the one staff member and pastries all very delightful. It may be because I visited during a time when no other customers were present, but still, I felt appropriately serviced. The staff member, Gabrielle, was very knowledgeable and kind when answering all my questions! The pricing is comparable to other patisseries, especially considering that this shop’s aesthetic leans heavily into its Victorian visage. I ordered four pastries; the créme brûlée, the strawberry vanilla cheesecake, carrot cake, and a raspberry tart for a friend. I took them all to go and love the amount of care the wrapping was done with. The amount of pink throughout the store was great! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the store interior does look a bit different. I didn’t eat there, but would have liked to eat outdoors if it was set up. Overall, flavors are good, not too sweet! The carrot cake was my only disappointment, as it was sweeter and more dense of a sponge than I like. Overall, one would come here for the experience. Thank you to the amazing staff!

Super cute place. Inside smaller than expected. Clean outdoor seating. Perfect for a sunday afternoon date

Very nice and cozy place... cute and unique desserts

I felt like I entered a palace, this place has an elegance vibe. The creme brulee was soooooo good!!! I literally ate two of them! Lana is such a sweetheart and kind ❤️

Over priced not worth the extra cost. There are way better options in Metro Detroit.

This place is amazing for french pastry. The chocolate cakes are moist and not too sweet. Service always on point and there is always family and couples come in to buy sweets. Macaroons are so so , some I got are little dryAnother thing is they have little heated igloo outside of you want to eat your sweets immediately during lockdown

We had the most lovely experience at Gateaux. I ordered their 8 inch occasion cake and 12 pastries. They decorated the cake beautifully for my daughters birthday. And every single pastry was delicious and beautiful! The whole team at Gateaux is so kind and accommodating. Well definitely be back! Also, the Harry Potter themed decorating and desserts for the month of September are so much fun!

Simply delightful! Splendid in house pastries, excellent tea and latte selections. Overall wonderful service every visit. Beautiful decor and inviting atmosphere. Great place for meeting friends, spending time with family or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself with a cup of lavender tea, my personal favorite. Parking accessibility and in front curbside and side lot. 5 Stars.

If you want some light dessert after a good meal you should come here and order this amazing creme brulee, its so delightful and rich with flavor that isnt only Sweet.Recommend for everyone

Aesthetically pleasing!! So cute place. Good for coffee, macaroons and desserts.

This is a cute spot to go for a date and pictures! The staff is really nice and helpful. I love their cheesecakes and macaroons. Their latte with lavender and rose is very tasty as well. If you are ever in the area, check it out! The ambiance is beautiful.

Super cute shop, the pastries are cute and the workers are nice

Delicious treats. Open till midnight. This was a great finding

Strange Harry Potter themed American dessert place. The desserts all look pretty but are overly sweet. If you come here with children’s taste buds you should be ok though.

The shop itself is so cute! The staff are very nice and friendly. I got the French cheesecake I definitely recommend it. Overall very nice place with adorable decorations. They had a chandelier decorated with roses and overall very fancy feel and atmosphere.10/10 would visit again 10/10 food 10/10 atmosphere. Tea party vibes all around and adorable cutlery and plates cups. Love it all.

Cutest little assortment we ordered. Carrot cake flavor is so perfectly balanced eating the whole piece is easy. The Ispahan is outstanding. Good coffee. A real treat!

The opera cake was delicious, service was great and the bakery itself is very cute. Definitely recommend.

Gateaux patisserie is very cute and clean. Desserts are amazing and so are the drinks. Worth a visit if you are near.

Very professional and very nice, they go beyond to help you. The desserts here amazing especially butter beer cake!!

Overall good quality and tasty. Problem is with staffing and service I hope it improves.You cant have 4 people behind the counter and 3 of them are stocking items in shelves and one is a cashier that is doing multiple things inclouding cashing out customers. Especially, when you have a line of people waiting for their order to be taken..They just need to work on a plan for improving their service and appearance.

I love the decor and pastries. The honor cake is delicious. The coffee was great. Everything there looks well thought out and luxurious. The only thing holding me back from giving it a 5 star review is there was an awkward vibe and Im not sure if its because we were the only customers there.

Awesome experience. Great staff and great sweets and treats.

I love my custom birthday cake from them! The carrot cake was even better than I expected! Definitely on the pricey side but I would still highly recommend.

Made my aunts birthday extra memorable! Absolutely gorgeous tall cake. Frosting made from BUTTER and a moist cake inside. Splendid!

Not only are the bakery items beautifully decorated, but shop itself is very clean and friendly. I ordered an Earl grey tea and it was delicious - and beautifully cupped in this pink to-go cup :)

As close to legit French pastries as I can find outside of France

I love Gâteaux! Friendly staff and adorable decor in the shop. Would recommend to everyone. My personal favorite is the chocolate torte :)

Very cute classy place. Not a lot of places in metro Detroit have High tea so this is a nice addition. The pastries and cakes and also reasonable prices.

Nice pastry shop, outdoor seating available. The giant macaroons stuffed with cream and raspberries was particularly good

Was hoping for much more. While lovely in appearance the service was terrible, even with the owner standing right there and the $8 a pop pastries were uninspired enough that they ended up in the trash.

Great treats & the staff is really kind! we went for the harry potter fun & it was worth the drive!

This is one of my most favorite places for a french bakery. The place is gorgeous and the service is on point. This cute little patisserie celebrates Harry potter month and has harry potter themed desserts and butter beer throughout the month. I’ve tried almost all of their desserts. The macaroons are okay. Their cakes are moist, fresh and not too sweet. Their occasional cakes are amazing too. They have a variety of teas and coffees. Rose tea is my favorite. Don’t miss out to try their Ispahan( It’s a gaint rose flavored macaron with cream filling and raspberries)

Fantastic and unique place. Bit up there in prices but not unexpected when it comes to custom pastries. Definitely worth a try if youre into exquisite tastes.

My sister & I visited this place and loved it! Our new go-to spot, desserts were amazing, customer service was top tier! Gabriel recommended a tea, that has turned out to be my favorite! Plus got some good selfies next to these gorgeous flower🔥 will be returning!

Super cute store! Their macaroons are amazing, one of the best Ive ever had taste wise. The filling could be more consistent (a couple of mine were very heavy on the filling) but the flavor is definitely there. The mousse in their chocolate tarte was very light and exactly what I was hoping for. Definitely will be back whenever I am in the area.

What an awesome, well-decorated, delicious patisserie! Husband has lived in Paris and even he was impressed at the taste. Its a lovely place that has good tea and a diverse selection of desserts.

Gateaux Patisserie was a absolutely lovely. Once I saw that all the pastries were different shades of pink (one of my favorite colors but was not expecting that when I came in) and could focus on what the actual offerings were, I was in heaven. This bakery definitely had a high end feel with prices to match ($15 for 6 macaroons) but every thing was SO good but my favorite was the carrot cake. They even had raspberry/lemon infused water that was pink. The attention to detail of all aspects was well thought out and I cannot wait to go back and try something else.

We had a great variety of desserts at Gateaux Patisserie during Harry Potter week. There were many options to pick from, both themed as well as their usual selection. We loved the Slytherin Pistachio Paris-Brest with its potent pistachio filling and the smooth & rich Hagrid’s Hut Chocolate Tart. The Creme Brûlée was pretty good although it could use a bit more vanilla flavor. Butterbeer is a fun addition although it truly is like an icy slushee, not a watery drink.We can’t wait to try out their other offerings next time we visit!

Okay maybe I went overboard with the pictures, but so what, this place made me feel like the fairest one of them all!! Cant wait to go back for tea time. I just want to thank the ladies if they see this review, my friends loved the gifts!! 😍

The best place to get pastries in the Metro-Detroit area. Ive traveled all over Europe and eating my way through many countries, and theirs are on par with the best of French pastries. Its worth the drive wherever youre coming from!

Great customer service with good pastries and coffee!

Very beautiful French cafe with delicious pastries and the most wonderful staff. Also has a really nice outdoor seating area. Revolving themes offers limited time specials not just in the food, but the atmosphere too. They completely transform the place! The ispahan, raspberry macroons, and french cheesecake are my favorites!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Absolutely beautiful, attention to detail is flawless! Staff is very friendly and professional. Smells delicious as soon as you walk inside, carrot cake and the blueberry tart were fresh and delicious. im so happy this place exists near my home. ❤❤❤❤

Nice aesthetics and customer service but food could be better

Amazing tea service and desserts. Staff were attentive and gracious. Beautiful decor.

Bad service. We ordered 5 pastries and none were impressive. Overly sweet and stale. The creme brulee had a strong egg-y smell.

Came here for Dearborn restaurant week. For $10 per person or $20 for the samplers and two pots of tea for 2 (which was what we got), this was a great deal with very delicious food and pastries. The smoked salmon sandwich particularly stood out to me because I generally hate smoke salmon, especially when they’re out in sandwiches; but here, that was actually my fave sandwich out of all the samplers, which should tell you how good their secret sauce was. Everything else was good too, from the super pink decors, to the atmosphere, to the cute tea sets, to the great tea. Definitely try this out when you’re around!

This place is great. I had a small issue my first time over, however the owners invited me back and more than redeemed themselves, giving my wife and me an amazing dining experience. It is classy and beautiful inside. The teas are amazing, the pastry has a perfect balance of sweet and flavor, the presentation is out of this world. I highly recommend Gateaux Patisserie to anyone!

Its a cute place for girls to hang out. Cakes are a bit on the pricey side. My cake was a little dry so I wasnt very happy about that. (I visited in March 2020).

Dessert tasted horrible and was overly priced compared to other bakeries in the area.

This is the second cake I’ve tried and its AHhhmazing ! Everyone liked it and enjoyed.

Great service and amazing pastries.

This patisserie shop is so pretty inside. The decor is very elegant and and it smells amazing.

If I can give you guys a 1000 stars I would ! Love love love your pastries, customer service is amazing, beautiful atmosphere ❤️

Beautiful place and it smelled amazing!

Eclectic desserts made by knowledgeable staff. The sponge cake base on the cheesecake is... different.Guys needn’t be put off by the mostly feminine aesthetic. Good outdoor seating for the warmer months.

The place is well decorated and seems like it would be awesome, but it’s anything but. The customer service is terrible. They forgot what our order was and then forgot to charge us for something we ordered and THEN gave us a drink with a bug in it. A fly right on top of the drink.As someone who lives in California and has been to Universal Studios, the butter beer was subpar and didn’t taste anything like the original.Their macaroons are ok though.

This place is gorgeous!! The ladies working here are absolutely fantastic!! So pretty and so helpful and kind! Not to mention the deserts my friends and i got where just fantastically delicious. Also there Tea is amazing and looked like they bag it themselves so wonderful! Also they had the coolest chandelier i have ever seen. Thanks for the wonderful experience in your bakery!!

Love the food and atmosphere and I always stop by on my way to and from Metro Detroit Airport. BUT I cant 5 star due to 2 issues.1) The staff does seem to have CLEAR communication issues. I often have to repeat my order multiple times at the sevice counter to different staff members instead of once to a designated drink or designated pastry employee (service stations folks or write down each order on a ticket?) But the music may also be the issue because it is always very loud.2) The music is always very loud and it causes raised shouting from the servers. The loud volume also makes it very hard to have peaceful conversation with other customers over tea.I do like this place but these are two consistent problems over the past year. Maybe they will change as the continue to grow?

I didn’t know or expect there was such a cute place in Dearborn! Their afternoon tea is great. I like their Millefeuille as well.

First time visiting this place.. It is great shop and they have variety of delicious french pastries.. The Latte Carmel is delicious too..The decor is beautiful..

Fantastic little family owned place thats been there a hundred years. Very very good hand made chocolates.

Cute little place with delicious treats.

Had to spend 5 minutes explaining to them how an iced coffee with milk is made.. not even a good cup of coffee

Pretty fancy look. Pastries not overly sweet (which is great). A tad pricey. I think those with a more refined taste buds would like this place.

Excellent service, classy decor, elegant atmosphere, and delicious sweets. 10/10 highly recommended.

Great desserts and ambience. I just didn’t like the smell of perfume. When going to a place like this It’s better to smell pastry flavors, coffee or tea.

Classic french style delicious pasteries and baked goods.

Amazing Macaroons and pastries.Awesome Ambience and cool staff.

Decor was lovely and desserts were too. Tarte au citron was a little too metallic tasting but mille feuille was lovely and light!

Social distancing seemed to make the space look cluttered and unorganized. Very limited to. Pastries on display and counter staff seemed overwhelmed by taking orders and fixing orders. We wanted to sample all the cakes that they offer for custom cakes however only 2 cakes available and staff informed us of the limited cake flavors they make for custom orders. All the treats were presentable. A bag would have been nice or maybe string around box to carry treats.Sugar macaroon was deliciousWhite cake with berries and filling was awesome. Very light, fluffy and tasty.Eclairs a tad bit on the hard side not sure if they were freshly made.Chocolate cake was tasty but very rich taste.

Went there with my kids but it’s not worth it. First of all their pastries are super expensive. We thought it must be exotic in taste and quality but trust, pastries were not worth a penny. We ordered couple of pastries and none were even close to giving one star. We also ordered coffee/cappuccino but they are not worth the price either. I felt I would have gone to starbucks or Shatila and got done with it in fraction of a cost what I paid here.

Their is clearly a problem with the management at this restaurant the display cases are half stocked theres pastry sitting in all over on the counters behind. The staff is walking around like theyre completely clueless and have no idea whats going on customers are asking for things like we dont have this we dont have that we dont have this

The chocolate tart the cream brûlée and the French cheesecake are absolutely delicious I’ll definitely be ordering again so good!

Authentic, tasty cake and tea. The ambiance is just amazing. A must visit place.

I really want to give this place 5 stars because of how cute and aesthetically pleasing it is, but dessert places are more than just appearance and presentation. When it comes to that, they deserve 10/5 stars, but the taste just isn’t there for me. Like at all. I usually never leave reviews, but I kept giving this place chance after chance again and kept coming back, but for the price and look of their products, it’s a shame they don’t taste any better than something I could buy at Costco. What really pushed me to leave this review was the birthday cake I got for my sister. It was absolutely STUNNING, but it tasted like paint...I wish I were exaggerating. I couldn’t even pretend to like it. No one took any home with them. Not one person even finished half a slice. I was so disappointed. And it was $80. Kroger would’ve done a better job honestly.Only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because I know someone is making a living off this place, and it’s local so I’d feel super bad leaving 1 star (I try not to be a mean person). But I mean, honestly, please, taste your products. Your customers should know what they’re paying for. Quite frankly, I don’t think I’ll ever want sweets from here again, even if they were free.

The best place to go, just sitting there doing nothing is worth it, very relaxing place, and for sure they have the best coffee and sweets I have ever tried.

My order was Frappuccinos and creme brulee. The taste was good .

Place is hidden, and directions aren’t correct, but the place is gorgeous! It reminds me of a bakery in Paris. Its chic and elegant and decor is beautiful. The pastries is what brought us there and having to sit there and enjoy it with coffee was a great experience. Pasties are WAY over priced. For four pastries And dozen macaroon I was charged $78. So I think it wasn’t worth it.

Awesome pastries, very cute astatic.

Finally got to try them recently, and while they are a little on the pricey side their pastries are absolutely delicious. Definitely great for celebrations!

Always have a great experience. Came for Harry Potter’s birthday celebration over the weekend. They didn’t have everything right away in the morning, but they were stocking up, they had sold out the day before according to their staff. The staff was very friendly and nice, they do their best to make sure you leave happy. Desserts are amazing, I always take important people here or bring it to them. But I love the Harry Potter stuff, they always do a great job.

Love this shop for coffee, tea, dessert. The service is also phenomenal. The decor is perfect. Everyone there makes you feel welcome.

The patisserie has a beautiful ambiance. The pastries were delicious, particularly the chocolate tart and the French cheesecake. Also the Ashta cream is delicious. Would definitely recommend this place.

Sooo tasty! :) and verry fancy too! :)! And they’re expanding!

Great place. Food and coffee were exceptional. High quality foods and drinks. Except to pay high prices but worth it.

Sweets are so cute and yummy. I just wished there was more time to sit down and eat them.

It is too expensive for 8” cack for 60$ 👎Even they do not have box for itNot coming back

Very nice desserts. Tasty, beautiful and of course a bit of $.

Its super cute inside and the sweets are great. I got the St. Honoree and it was delicious, sweet but not too sweet and filling. Will definitely be going back soon.

Wonderful deserts and kind staff.
