Gateaux Bakery and Cafe

Best Bubble Teas in town! Many flavors to chose from! Great bakery to go and hang out with a date or friends. Definitely recommend!

horrible. asked for shaved ice with no red bean and what do i get red bean. go elsewhere for shaved ice.

These folks only do the frozen kind of bubble tea, but they make a pretty good batch, and it’s very consistent. If you’re into frozen bubble tea, this is a great stop.

compared to the other bakeries nearby its just okay. Not the best but not the worst either. Their bubble teas compared to other fort lee bakeries are definitely better, but the pastries can’t win over paris baguette.

mmm mocha frapachino with tapioca balls.
Personal patbingsoo with tapioca balls instead of duk.
and the lady working there is always very pleasant.

Gateaux opens at 7am, I believe, which is rather convenient for commuters who can’t wait until 8am to bust through Parisienne. The proprietor is a very kind lady.
Recently, there have been renovations that expanded the back seating area greatly.

The patbingsoo here is pretty good, although visually, it isn’t that great. I thought the use of Apple Jacks cereal was reminiscent of the PBS you get in Korea, but it doesn’t add much in terms of flavor. They give you a fair amount of mochi, but the pieces are small. Overall, pretty good.
Another item to note is their Guri Ball. Much fresher and less crumbly than the stuff you find in other Korean bakeries. Their pastries in general are pretty good.
I like the interior of Gateaux Bakery the best out of the Bakeries in the Pal Park/​Ft. Lee area. It has a calming effect and I love the stone/​granite walls. I much prefer this café over Shilla, Paris B. and especially Du Pan (yuck) if I was on a casual dessert date. Of course nothing in the world beats Paris B’s baked goods however.

Good Korean bread and cakes, but has lesser selections than their competitor Parisiennes which is few doors down the street. My favorite is tapioca bread, it is similar to Ecuadorian bread «pan de almidon» (chewy bread made of yuca). It has a nice chewy texture that you’ll get hooked instantly.
