Their Fruit tart and Vanilla slice are insanely delicious
Well this cute little cafe pretty much lives up to its reviews. The staff are lovely, the cakes amazing, the coffee delicious. The best croque monsieur The only disappointment was the hot chocolate. The real melted chocolate appears to just decorate the inside of the glass it looks pretty swirled around however that was it the milk had very little chocolate in it and was lukewarm. I drive anywhere for a good hot chocolate and this was very ordinary. The coffee on the other hand was delicious. Will definitely return for the food and coffee and delightful staff tho.
Exceptional service, beautiful and delicious products, enjoyed a lemon meringue tart and a coffee. Coffee was so good. The tart was perfect. The meringue and tartness ratio was spot on.
brilliant food and fun service. From scones to the most beautiful french creations this cafe pleases on all levels. at the quieter end of hampton street so parking is generally simple!
Great spot for breakfast with easy access in and out of Hampton Street. Egg, bacon and cheese buns are delicious and the pastries are a worthy treat. The Pain au rasin is a favourite. Sitting out on the street tables with friends is a great spot to watch the morning go by. Oh must mention one of the best hot chocolates in Melbourne.
Had the high tea recently. It was a tad expensive for what it was, however the food selection was tasty - both savoury and sweet options were flavourful. The high tea stands weren't terribly elegant (made from wood pieces).
A surprise lunchtime find. After a lovely greeting I chose the express $15 lunch , a soup of the day pastry and coffee. The soup was a spiced pumpkin, really yummy and a nice size, I chose a lemon tart and a really nice double shot flat white, great service really enjoyable and I'll be back for sure.
Beautiful cabinet, full of French flair. The tarts were absolutely delicious and the croissants looked amazing. Will definitely be back to try out some more products. The take home box was so colourful. Inviting shop
Don't be put off by this ordinary looking cafe- it's not swish and in the middle of the cool part of Hampton Street, but the cakes and pastries are extraordinary! A real treat - very French! Magnifique! Merci!!!
Top quality pastries and cakes , I love their almond croissant . They also use Toby Estate coffee which in my opinion is just about unbeatable when made by a good barista which Gateaux have. Would recommend .
Some high quality french patisserie going on there! The brioche is just to die for and the scone melts in your mouth with the homemade jam and fluffy cream! Very friendly staff and owners, makes you feel at home! They only need to improve their coffee to make this place perfect!
Bassam cake is a must to try!
I wish I could finish up my birthday cake all by myself only if it won't cause me to gain weight.
Definitely will revisit for their cakes. 😍😍😍
Unique. One of the most beautiful hot chocolates I've ever had and very friendly owners:)
I have ordered 4 cakes from Gateaux and they have all been the best cake I have eaten in Australia. I would not go anywhere else. The presentation is first class as well. The man is a genius. Staff are lovely

Got a passion for the time honoured vanilla slice? Look no further than this french inspired patisserie with the real deal...and with a decent coffee or top shelf teas served in quality crockery you wont settle for inferior pastries again.
Great desserts. A nice little place in Hampton that produces some very high quality desserts and cakes. I've visited a few times and always been happy walking out of there with a box full of their amazing desserts. Real friendly staff and nice service, great coffee, can't go wrong!
If Only all pastry shops were like Gateaux by MF. I Come here from time to time, and I have to say Marc is the real deal in Dessert making, first the place is funky and confortable, second the coffee is GREAT and third the cakes... I don't have words... just divine.
And if you want to learn from the master himself, he does classes too.
Go check it out is a must, even if you are not in Hampton!
Yum!
Great coffee, service above expectations and the cakes were absolutely delightful, would recommended them definitely. Thank you for my birthday cake, everyone enjoyed it
Best morning break in Mentone! The french bakery items are superb and the coffee, particularly the genuine chocolate used in their mocha's, is excellent. This cafe is no longer a secret in the area either - it's getting a regular crowd lining up for their goodies.
Absolutely the BEST place to get your pastries and desserts around here! And I’ve tried a fair few, even traveled to surrounding suburbs.
Staff and I think the owner or manager were lovely to chat to; everything I’ve tasted so far were delicate and delicious. The sweetness of their cakes are just right, so if you don’t like your desserts too sweet it’d not be a concern here.
My experiences have been beyond satisfactory 😊
Loooove their Black Diamond and I am not even a huge chocolate fan!
Pretty & delicious deserts here . Highly recommend mille feuille & coconut mousse!
A really fantastic patisserie which has moved from Hampton to Mentone. Authentic, beautiful pastries, croissants and baguettes are great too. Excellent service and beautiful food. Have not had a coffee yet, but will be back soon.
A quality patisserie, with French chef!
Baked fresh with quality ingredients.
What a refreshing change from most of the bakeries around that have been taken over by (you know who) over the years…
Beautiful patisserie, the crowd of bike riders enjoying coffee and croissants on the weekends is its own endorsement.
Fabulous pastries the detail is perfect and they taste even better.
The staff were super nice , and made the most beautiful chai latte and roast pumpkin soup. Had a vanilla slice which was one of the best i’ve ever had. Definitely coming back :)
Beautiful treat!
Nice lunch options and the coffee is brilliant
