Gateaux Bakery — Restaurant in Closter

Overall, a pleasingly weird experience.

I visited this establishment and the place seemed just about empty. I wanted to hit a place for some bakery goods as I was in the area.

The layout was interesting. As you enter, there's a bakery case on the left. You go straight on, and there are cases and a counter and menu boards at the back. There is an island before it with a sundry assortment of bakery items.

Highly recommended for a low-key bakery spot in Closter. I'll definitely...

This is a really good Korean style bakery. We have been visiting for many years, and they have consistently delicious cakes, cream puffs, and mochi, as well as Korean style cookies that combine European techniques with Korean and European flavors.

I love the mochi, cream puffs, and cakes. The mochi is fresh and soft. It's like the mochi when I was a child. The cream puffs are amazing: small, light and tasty. The cakes combine light-as-air sponge and mouse. They aren't overly sweet, so you can taste the flavors. Our favorites are the macha and tiramisu. We also love their "banana pan" -- a banana and milk flavored muffin in a banana shape -- with...
