Book NowAbout C'est Du Gateau Bakery
Pastry regulars quietly steer each other toward this Grey Street counter for oversized, butter-rich viennoiserie at honest prices. C'est Du Gateau skips decorative fuss—turning out layered bakes twice the usual size with crisp structural flake. Trays empty fast for the crookie packed with cookie dough, alongside savoury croissants baked with thick ham and cheese caramelized along the edges. The real heavyweight remains the Basque cheesecake: scorched dark up top, lava-like through its vanilla core, and grounded by a crunch of biscuit base.
- Substantial Viennoiserie: Portions double standard bakery sizes, turning out flaky almond croissants and savoury ham-and-cheese folds with caramelized edges.
- Lava-Center Basque Cheesecake: Baked with a scorched exterior, a vanilla-scented molten center, and an unorthodox biscuit base.
- Inventive Hybrid Croissants: Modern counter creations include the viral crookie layered with crisp cookie dough and rich Biscoff-filled pastries.
- Brisk Service & Fair Pricing: Efficient counter flow, quality coffee on the fly, and exceptionally generous portions for the price tag.

Why C'est Du Gateau Bakery Stands Out
From massive, flaky French viennoiserie to molten Basque cheesecake and rapid morning coffee service, explore what makes this Grey Street bakery a local favorite—book your visit today.
Generously Portioned Traditional Croissants
Bakes oversized viennoiserie that doubles conventional café sizing with rich, crispy lamination and ample fillings.
Incredibly large size and great value (approximately twice the normal size)
Anastasia Layered Hybrid Crookie Creations
Merges crisp external cookie caps and moist dough fillings with traditional butter-laminated pastry layers.
It perfectly keeps the distinct flaky layers and buttery aroma of a regular croissant, while adding that crispy, crunchy texture of a cookie.
木辛 Scorched Basque Cheesecake with Molten Core
Delivers a deeply caramelized surface giving way to an oozy vanilla-infused cream center set over an inventive crust.
It’s gooey and lava-like in the center with a burnt exterior. The slight vanilla really elevates it.
E.N. Classic European Tarts and Patisserie
Crafts a wide selection of authentic French baked treats ranging from fruit tarts to custards and flaky pastries.
Our favorites are the blueberry tarts, lemon Meringue pie and basque cheese cake.
KC Fast Takeaway for Morning Commuters
Efficient counter service ensures rapid fulfillment of morning coffee and freshly baked goods on tight timelines.
Didn't need to, service was quick.
Vicci Graham Post-Ride Group Breakfast Pitstop
Accommodates early morning cycling groups and weekend visitors with outdoor seating and consistent espresso.
My cycling friends and I visit here often after a ride. Service is very quick and everything top quality.

Almond Croissant
The almond croissant was flawless too. I loved the aroma and the perfectly balanced frangipane (almond filling).
木辛 Basque Cheesecake
It’s gooey and lava-like in the center with a burnt exterior. The slight vanilla really elevates it.
E.N. Cookie Croissant (Crookie)
It perfectly keeps the distinct flaky layers and buttery aroma of a regular croissant, while adding that crispy, crunchy texture of a cookie.
木辛 Biscoff Pain au Chocolat
the biscoff pain au chocolate was actually the winner for me.

Before you head over
Practical advice on timing, dietary options, and pastry care—book ahead or place your specialty order today.
Arrive Early for Peak Selection
The bakery opens daily at 6 AM and trades until 3 PM or until daily batches sell out. Drop by earlier in the morning to snag the full counter lineup before popular croissants disappear.
Halal-Friendly Pastry Range
If you have dietary considerations, the counter features a broad assortment of verified halal options alongside classic French viennoiserie.
Takeaway Format and Reheating
Drinks are served in takeaway cups rather than ceramic dine-in mugs. If taking the massive croissants to go, a quick warm-up in an air fryer restores their crisp, buttery exterior without becoming stodgy.
