I think the wedding cake sample box was overpriced at $49.95 . It wasn't organized very well and the quality of the samples were lacking.

We have been using La Gateau for ages…since they used to be located in Martinez! We drive over the hill from the Richmond/Berkeley area to get specialty cakes here. They were able to accommodate a last minute (3 day notice) custom cake order the week of Mother’s Day, and the cake was a hit! They can do gluten free cakes, we used to get them for my mother. Definitely the best texture, taste of all the others we’ve tried. I sent my boyfriend to pickup this most recent order and put in a special request that he also bring home a couple of slices of Swedish Princess cake and a chocolate and raspberry slice. He said, ‘I think that princess cake was the best cake I’ve ever had.’ I would upload photos, but we forgot to take any, we dug right into the slices!!

We recently ordered a half sheet carrot cake along with a flourless chocolate cake for our 50th wedding anniversary party. The carrot cake was beautifully decorated in white roses along with gold leaves. But, the one thing that helped me make the decision to purchase from Le Gateau Elegant was the fact that the owner makes her own frosting from scratch. It was so much more enjoyable than the super sweet usual frostings found in other bakeries. The cakes were well received by our guests and I heard compliment after compliment. A friend who is gluten free said the flourless chocolate cake was the BEST she'd ever had! I agreed. Although this was my first time ordering at Le Gateau, it won't be my last! I highly recommend them for their quality, taste and presentation of cakes.

Came in to find different options of slices for my boyfriend’s birthday. Great service. Patient with me and my indecisiveness. I must say… Amazing quality cakes. Absolutely delicious. We enjoyed every bite. Even the petites were beautifully put together. I appreciate the time and love put into these cakes! Repeat customer for now on!

It is conveniently located in downtown Walnut Creek.? I came here for the first time to buy a cake for a friend's birthday party. The girl behind the cake display was pleasant and friendly. Everything looked sooo good, and like if it just came out fresh from the oven. ?"Fresh Baked" ? The only downside is that they don't have any Vegan opinions. But I asked for gluten-free and Yes! They do have some available! Yay!

I live abroad, and every time I come back to the Bay Area to visit relatives, I make sure to get a princess cake, or at the very least, a few slices.
It’s so delicious, I even had them modify the princess cake to turn it into a wedding cake for me several years ago

My birthday cake was delicious. My guests all agreed that it was the most delicious cake they have eaten in a long time. I ordered a Kahlua chocolate cake. It was expensive but well worth it.

Treat yourself. The cake is as delicious as it looks! I'm so glad I finally checked this place out.

5 stars are not enough for this bakery! A friend brought me two slices (princess and marzipan) as I had been getting inquiries about good wedding cake references. The flavor was delicious and they were beautiful. Let’s just say I am kind of a cake snob, so I am so excited to have found a new favorite bakery! They were excellent and fresh, even though I didn’t get a chance to eat them the night she brought them. I will be ordering my next celebratory cake from Le Gateau Elegant!

Everything looked amazing, fresh. Asked questions about the petit fours and the response was ‘I don’t know’ ‘everyone is made w/an almond pound cake’ after ordering the choc. No almond-just choc. Asked if the raspberry had a thin layer of frangipane, ‘I don’t know’. Didn’t suggest the princess cake ( that is traditionally made w/frangipane) -not sure the person knew what I was referencing… will try again but training for behind the counter defiantly needs to be updated.
Such a cute bakery! You can definitely taste the quality in each and every item! My whole family loves this place just as much as me:)

Love this place! Such a nice quaint bakery, I come here almost every time I finish shopping at broadway plaza, the cakes are always soft, moist and perfectly sweet, and the cookies are so cute with nice designs and they taste amazing! Also the lady up front was very kind to me, and answered any questions I had! Would definitely recommend to anyone to stop by and try a dessert.

Beautiful cakes and cookies, extremely nice and knowledgeable staff…loved this place and would trust them to make any special occasion memorable. Left with chocolate cake roll, cherry cheesecake and lovely decorated cookies.
