I ordered a customized Black Forest gateau from them (after reading numerous positive reviews) and was impressed by its delicious taste and beautiful customization. Their service was very quick and friendly. But it might not suit those who prefer the traditional version of Black Forest. It’s most likely a mousse

Eggs Benny and Smoked Salmon Crepe. Both were solid breakfast options, can't complain. I returned later that day for an afternoon dessert of Creme brulee, which was also solid, good, not great.

My absolute first and favourite is their Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau. This place opened way back in 2007, during the same time I worked in 140 William St until 2012, so was able to sneak down to grab a tasty sweet treat now and then. It’s now 2025 and I still buy a birthday cake from them for family sometimes- The Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau, ALWAYS, along with a few of the smaller cakes. The Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau is my most favourite cake in the whole world, that I’ve ever tasted. It is a TASTE SENSATION LIKE NO OTHER! It often consumes my mind, my thoughts, the desire for this delectable delicacy is so overwhelming, my taste buds can almost taste it, those mini explosions of different flavours and textures in every delicious bite, that tastes just absolutely heavenly. YUMMY!! There other cakes are all lovely but I can’t rate this cake high enough. I’d give it 10/5 stars if that were possible. Please don’t ever stop making it and thank you to whoever imagined this creation in their mind and made it real. XO

Always impressed every time I visit Le Petit Gateau. Every cake is a piece of art with perfectly balanced flavors—rich but never heavy. Consistently high quality and friendly service make this patisserie a go-to spot. #genastar

One of our new favourite places in Melbourne to enjoy French patisseries. High quality cakes ( full size and minis), slices and beads. There is seating inside to enjoy the food and excellent coffee and other drinks. Best to order wanting to take away.
