Patisserie Gateau - Markham, Ontario

My dad said it is the best cake he had in his life and he is right! The chestnut bird nest cake is sooo soft and creamy and also awesomely fresh! Funny thing is that I mentioned to write “姥爷” but they don’t understand that and instead wrote “老爷” which makes ... us all laugh :) Read more

Bought some buns and egg tarts ($7.60/4pcs). The egg tarts have very buttery flavor. Not outstanding. Average.

The mango cake was a disappointment. Both the mango and strawberry flavors were very sour. While the cake base was described as crispy, it turned out to be soft. Overall, it was the worst cake ever.

I'm extremely displeased with the Korean Style cake and strongly discourage anyone who is considering it from ordering from the Markham location. The appearance of this cake IS NOT as advertised (see the images and judge for yourself). For instance, the macaroons are missing, the pink dripping is extremely sloppy, ... the fruits are cut chunky not thinly sliced, the green buttercream resembles closer to frozen peas than leaves, etc. Aside from the obvious appearance differences, there is a discrepancy between the online and actual price. The online price for the 8" size is listed as $68, however, when I called the bakery, I was told that this price is outdated and the new price would be $85. I accepted the new price as I was woefully misled by the advertised photo. Regarding the taste, I ordered the mixed fruit filling. The taste is very similar to their regular fruit cake. If you are choosing between the regular fruit cake or their signature Korean Style cake, choose the regular. It is a fraction of the cost and will save you from the resentment. Read more

A hidden gem that flies under the radar like many low-key but excellent asian spots do! My parents introduced me to this bakery and I love it. A focus on delicately made and well-excited mango desserts, the mango mochi was the best mochi I’ve ever had. The large mango crepe ... pancake was also amazing as are their mango cakes. Plenty of fresh mango in all of them. The service is friendly and warm! We are regulars now! Read more
