"If you want to enjoy authentic European-style desserts in the heart of New York, this is the place - run by the wonderful owner, Marie. A sweet and welcoming spot where you immediately feel the warmth of home. The moment you walk in, it’s clear that everything is made with love and meticulous attention to detail. The desserts are exceptional - flavorful without being overly sweet, which is a big plus for me. There’s also a great gluten-free options. Every customer is greeted with equal care and respect, creating a truly welcoming atmosphere. You leave not only with top-notch treats, but with a genuine feeling of appreciation. Perfect combo."

"Marie did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! She was always quick to respond and made the whole process so easy. She offered a complimentary cake tasting at her shop, which helped us choose the perfect flavor — a mixed berry cake that was perfect for our late-summer wedding. Marie was also kind enough to gift us the top tier of our cake, which we took home and froze. We’ve been enjoying a slice every now and then, and it still tastes just as amazing after thawing! We couldn’t be happier with how beautiful and delicious our cake turned out. Highly recommend! Thank you Marie!"

"I have been a guest at many weddings and sampled quite a few pieces of wedding cake, but the cake that Maria at Les Gateaux de Marie prepared for my wedding three weeks ago was without a doubt the most extraordinary one that we have ever eaten. See the attached photos. But before it became the final course at our post-ceremony wedding dinner, my wife and I must have come into the bakery five or six times, each time with a new request: Make it bigger. Add marzipan. Less chocolate and more mocha. Add another tier to the cake. Deliver it to this address. And to each change, Marie was receptive and not in the least taken aback by the flurry of alterations. Where else can you get this kind of customer service? I’m pretty sure that there are a number of places in Manhattan where you may order a wedding cake. And plenty of them will even be good. But Les Gateaux de Marie is a unique and exceptional bakery, and we recommend them without hesitation. Oh and even if you’re not in the market for a Custom wedding cake, they offer a variety of European and American cakes and pies and desserts and pastries. It’s the best thing on First Avenue!"

"I ordered a custom cake for my fiancés birthday. Maria was super helpful and made my vision come to life! The flavors were all so delicious I couldn't decide on just one. I had each tier made with a different flavor and my guests loved that. I highly recommend them for a custom cake like! The communication was excellent throughout the whole process. Thank you Maria!!"

"I was looking everywhere for a bakery that could do a matcha flavored birthday cake for my boyfriend’s birthday and the team at Les Gateaux de Marie was so amazing and accommodating. Everyone loved the cake and couldn’t stop talking about it, the cake was perfectly sweet, light and airy, and all of the staff were SO KIND. Will be back again and again! Thank you for making his birthday so special!"
