Bakery Gateau

What is Bakery Gateau? Operating out of an industrial commercial complex at 1170 Sheppard Avenue West in York University Heights, Bakery Gateau is the central bakehouse and headquarters for one of Toronto’s pioneering Korean bakeries, established in 2003. This woman-owned operation serves primarily as a dedicated production kitchen and pre-order pick-up counter rather than a sit-down cafe. Every morning, the baking team crafts traditional Korean and East Asian breads, chiffon roll cakes, and custom whole cakes from scratch with zero preservatives.

Bakery Gateau Menu & What to Order The lineup focuses on balanced, lightly sweet treats layered with 100% real dairy whipped cream and scratch-made fruit purées and custards. The essential order is the signature Sweet Potato Cake, built with fluffy vanilla sponge and velvety roasted sweet potato blended directly into fresh cream. The Fresh Cream Fruit Cake and light Strawberry Roll Cake are party mainstays, while traditionalists will appreciate the honeyed Castella sponge and soft red bean pastries. For individual treats, grab an Earl Grey Pistachio cookie or an individual Cocoa-dusted Tiramisu.

Know Before You Go This Sheppard West location serves as a commissary and order hub, so expect counter service only with no dine-in tables or outdoor seating. Whole celebration cakes and bulk pastry orders should be reserved in advance through their website for guaranteed pickup. Ample surface lot parking is available on-site, and the bakery is a short ride from Sheppard West subway station via the 84 Sheppard West bus.
