Gâteau MJ Dessert Shop — Restaurant in Fairfax

This Korean bakery & dessert cafe is conveniently situated within BBQ21 Korean restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise. The establishment offers comfortable seating options and a display of baked goods. While the selection may not be as extensive as traditional bakeries, I found the items I sampled exceptional.

The Chocolate Mousse, presented in a fancy sealed container to ensure freshness, had a rich chocolate cream texture that was balanced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The Pecan Chocolate Cookie was among the best I have encountered in the area. Although the prices are slightly higher than average, the quality and flavor make it worthwhile. The staff was welcoming and provided excellent recommendations, including which cookie would complement the coffee nicely. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

Update: 08-10-2025 This dessert café is a must-visit. It offers an impressive selection of baked goods, cakes, rice cakes, trendy Korean desserts, and a delightful array of coffee and smoothies within a spacious and comfortable setting. I frequently indulge in their cookies and puddings, but today, I chose to sit down and savor a few desserts, and they were nothing short of refreshing!

The Mango Cheese Bingsoo was generously served for sharing and was topped with plenty of fresh, sliced mango on finely shaved milk-flavored ice. It was complemented by delightful cheesecake balls, which added a creamy and subtly sweet flavor to this perfect hot summer icy dessert. The Iced Dalgona latte struck the ideal balance of sweetness and caffeine, making it a truly refreshing drink. The Frasier came in a cute transparent can, brimming with thinly sliced strawberry pieces and creamy pudding. Both the mochi and pistachio white chocolate cookies were enjoyable.

The friendly staff and the clean atmosphere with various seating options greatly enhanced my experience. I can confidently say this place is a delightful spot for anyone craving something sweet!

Update: 08-30-2025 I returned for coffees to go, and unfortunately, both the latte and chestnut latte were watered down, which was disappointing. As a result, I have adjusted my overall rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. I hope to see an improvement in the quality of the...

It looks appealing and aesthetically pleasing upon entry, thus the 2 stars rather than 1 star review, however I believe that bakery quality is quite low compared to the pricing. 1 cookie costs about 3.99 or 4.99, a slice of cake is 6.99. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I pay for quality but the quality just isn’t there. The customer service is excellent, but let’s face it, we aren’t eating customer service we are eating the food. As far is the ramen is concerned, the concept is great however the quality isn’t so great as far as the toppings are concerned. The dumplings are old and dried up, not to mention tasteless. I would have given this place a 3 stars but the determining factor was that this place attracts a lot of wannabe K-pop fans. They are very annoying & have very high pitched giggles. I cannot enjoy my food in peace in this kind of environment. I haven’t tried the barbecue yet, but it does look overpriced. I’m sure it’s...

Without a doubt "Perfection in its Glory!"

Now this place is one of those places that will surprise the soul out of your body. In a wonderful way.

SERVICE

Amazing, Wonderful, Stunning, Awesome... and so on.

The lady, sorry didn't get her name, was everything above and then much MORE!

I definitely want to have her on our YouTube story (coming soon, Undercover Attorney).

DESSERTS 🎂

If there is a heaven, this is the place that makes its DESSERTS!

First: sweetness. Perfectly balanced. A diabetic's garden of eden.

Second: Flavors, are all balanced. Textures fitted "Magnifique" with each other making the total experience a heavenly one.

The dessert that had to melt in mouth did. The one that had to play with your palate did so.

Coffee, like the Dolce & Gabbana of coffee.
