I frequently visit Chateau Gateaux after my shifts at Menlyn to grab a cup of coffee. What attracted me to the place is the rewards programme they have: so you have to download the Chateau Gateaux app from the Google Play Android App Store and then for every hot drink you buy you earn one point.

They have excellent services by the way!

Sometimes one is available at Brooklyn branch but not at menlyn etc. The service is pretty good. Staff is friendly and Wi-Fi available for 30 minutes. The cakes... nothing that I can comment on. Your enjoyment depends on your taste and each product is different. I loved every one I tasted although some are too sweet for me. Compliments to the Mozart cake though. That is one amazing cake....
