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.

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.

Ordered a princess birthday cake and left badly disappointed with the amount of sugar in the cake. The jam tasted like store bought overly sweetened jam with artificial flavor. The sponges were soaked in sugar syrup when the marzipan and whip cream were already overly sweet. Guests couldn't eat more than one spoon due to the lingering sweetness. The staff was super nice and sweet, so the 2 stars are for them. I wish they modify the recipe and make it less sweet because it is European dessert and not an American dessert that is usually loaded with unnecessary sugar.

Delicious cakes and lots of customization options. Friendly staff as well! Highly recommend.

Fantastic little cake shop. We really miss Katrina Rozelle in Alamo, but I think we've found our new go-to spot.

We loved our wedding cake from them! I actually grew up nearby and had always seen Le Gateau Elegant, but had never actually gone in until our wedding planner recommended them. Karen was so sweet, professional, easy to work with, and responsive to all of my questions. We sent her a few pictures of cakes that we thought were pretty, and she gave us estimates on price and made some suggestions on how to balance aesthetics and our budget. Karen gave us a complimentary tasting box with 16 flavors, 2 substantial pieces of each, which was so much fun trying with our parents. We ended up choosing a 3-tier tiramisu cake with buttercream frosting, which was supplemented by a sheet cake. The cake turned out beautifully and, thanks to Karen's help, we were able to use two cake toppers. The cake was also delicious. We will definitely be back for other sweet treats!

Ordered a cake for my moms birthday and everyone loved it. We had two other cakes from somewhere else to compare to and this was hands down the crowd pleaser. The experience of picking up the cake was easy and fun thanks to the great customer service by the young woman who helped check me out. Definitely recommend and will revisit.
Found this bakery (I'm new to CoCo county) after eating at George's burgers which is a few doors down. Was craving something sweet so had to check this bakery out. Immediately welcomed with a smile by the ladies at the counter, and saw the lovely array of cakes, macarons, cookies and more! I opted for the princess cake (it's one of my favs) since I had one recently from another bakery in Concord that was lack luster. They have two kinds, the original, raspberry/ pastry cream, and lemon/pastry cream. I've never seen/ tried a lemon version so I was intrigued. Ordered both plus an eclair and a vanilla macaron. Their cake was definitely better than the other bakery. Not quite as delicious as my all time favorite bakery in SF, nonetheless, it was satisfying. I just prefer an equal amount of raspberry/ pastry cream. The lemon one was great! The custard filled eclair was okay, I've had better but it was a solid 3 stars. My daughter said the macaron was good too. I will definitely come back when I have another princess cake craving, the lemon one might be my new fav!

Omg best cake I have ever had. They made my wedding cake, just gorgeous. I told them I was on a small budget and they made it happen.

The carrot cake was outstanding. Delicious and looked beautiful too.

Five stars for great service and excellent cake! After dealing with so many bad bakeries in the area I'm glad to have found such a wonderful experience at Le Gateau Elegant! The young lady who helped me was so polite and actually helpful. That's a rare combination! When I called they answered the phone. Easy. When I poked up the cake it was correct, beautiful and we were shown the cake and given easy clear instructions. And best of all it tasted wonderful and fresh. It was easy to tell it wasn't a cheap, overly sweet boxed cake. It has just the right amount of sweetness it was soft and had great flavor. I will get all of my cakes here. Not one other bakery in this area compares. Please keep up the good work!!

You only get one 1st-birthday for your child. The expectations can be high as parents strive to make it memorable. Such was the case with our only child's 1st when we opted for his favorite book as a theme....Pout-Pout Fish! The home was decorated in the book's theme and the finale was to be a custom, spare-no-expense cake from none other than Le Gateau Elegant.The day I went in to order the cake, I gulped as the lackadaisical girl behind the counter proceed to recite the pricing with additional add-on fees for such luxury items as fruit and creating an image, bringing the small cake's price to well over $100.00! Well, I figured, it's a splurge we will only do once.I explained the theme to the girl and even brought in the book so they would get it right. For those unfamiliar with this wonderful book, the "Pout-Pout, Fish" turns into a happy and sweet "Kiss-Kiss, Fish" once he is shown love. I couldn't have been more explicit when I explained that the cake's image MUST be of the HAPPY FISH, opening the book to that page and showing her. Afterall, who would want a sad fish on their birthday cake!I even left the book with them to make sure there were no mistakes. I prepaid for the cake and turned to leave...and then, sensing the girl's lackluster attitude and apparent lack of attentiveness, I stopped at the door and turned back to her saying, "remember...the happy fish, not the sad fish." "Sure...got it," she replied.Several days later, the attached picture is the cake I received one hour before his birthday. When I incredulously pointed out the blunder, their response was, "Oh...sorry 'bout that." Absolutely no attempt was made to make amends. With my child's birthday party beginning shortly and not having the time to further express my extreme dissatisfaction and frustration, I simply turned around numb and left with the sad cake. My wife attempted "smile surgery" on the fish which was the best we could do to salvage the debacle.Needless to say, we will never return to this very high priced bakery. We now purchase our beautiful, flawlessly made, and EQUALLY TASTY cakes from Safeway for a third of the price...fresh fruit included.
