Review Summary

Reviewers describe Gâteau Brise as a place with good pastries and cakes at affordable prices, with the durian cake highlighted for its real durian flesh, generous filling, a creamy texture that is not too sweet, and a moist crumb. The bakery is a small, quick service spot where the experience can feel transactional, but staff are often helpful and friendly, sometimes going the extra mile with freebies and careful gift wrapping for birthday cakes. Many call it a hidden gem and a go to bakery for affordable fruit cakes, and some note a nearby larger location in Brossard with more choices. While prices are praised for value, a few reviews mention increases and shrinking sizes on day old stock, plus a less appealing decor during renovations and no seating. Overall, it is seen as a reliable source of tasty, not too sweet desserts with a focus on durian and other fruit flavors, keeping customers coming back.

Je suis bien ravie qu'une amie m'a parlé de cette pâtisserie chinoise !
Je suis une gde fan de durian & j'ai été ravie d'avoir pu acheter un petit gâteau au durian pour ma fête ! Le gâteau est vraiment de qualité ! Il ya de la chair de durian (quantité généreuse, pas quelques filaments de durian ou juste de la poudre du durian pour l'arôme comme certains autres endroits). C'est un vrai gâteau au durian avec sa chair à 100%. Le goût de la crème du gâteau est excellent pas trop sucré & on sent bien le lait écrémé. Le gâteau est moelleux. Bravo! Un endroit a garder dans son carnet d'adresse. Apparemment, ils ont un magasin plus spacieux a Brossard avec plus de choix.

Points positifs: proche du métro Guy-concordia (ligne verte)/ qualité-prix: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻/ des patisseries de qualité 👏🏻/ deco'happy birthday' dispo en magasin

Petits bémols : peut être ne plus mettre des fruits frais en déco sur le gâteau mais autre chose car les fruits frais ne se conservent pas longtemps (voir photo).
Dommage aussi au niveau de l'accueil : ambiance neutre. L'interaction est transactionnelle & expéditive donc ne pas s'attendre à un super accueil souriant & chaleureux des 2 femmes à l'arrière du comptoir ... C'est un petit point de vente en mode express: pick ✅ pay💲go 🚪

BEST DURIAN CAKE EVER. I bought a cake for my sister & my mom birthday & I felt in love with the cake. My friends recommended me this place. It's not too sweet & there's a lot of durian inside the cake . I'm going to order again for sure.

Cakes & pastries used to be a real treat because the price was Really good while the quality is decent. But lately, price has gone up even for cakes & pastries that are 1 day old. We used to be able to find a mango cake one or two days old for $10 to 15 for 4 to 6 people. Now the cakes have shrunk & the bread, food & pastries from 1 day old or before have less discounts.

Other than that, I like coming here. We have gotten good matcha cake here in the past 😃

I got to say though that the cakes you can preorder for your friend or family's birthday can go easily up to 50$ or more. But the cakes usually are pretty good. (I give at least 70% regardless no matter which cake)… price is for sure more than chinatown & more than T&T, by 15-25 dollars, but you can usually taste the difference.

real hidden gem! my go-to bakery for affordable yummy fruit cakes

their pastries are perfectly priced & look amazing! plus, the staff is very kind & love to include freebies if you buy a birthday cake, they wrap it in a nice box & give utensils, a knife & some cake decorations for no extra cost!

they give point cards with coupons & i've already gone through 2 of them, i would recommend this to everyone i meet

i've gotten cakes here a few times & they're always great- fresh & just the right amount of sweet

An absolute gem!

I tried the pain au fromage & the crème patisserie - perfectly buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. I went back to buy my birthday cake & wasn't disappointed: an absolutely fresh cake with soft layers with a generous filling of luscious mango.
Highly recommend!

Service plaisant, même en francais.
Prix très corrects, surtout les produits de la veille.

Je suis moins fan des emballages de plastique à la mode asiate, mais bon... La boutique sent le chantier de construction - on dirait qu'ils ne finiront jamais les rénovations! C'est moitié attrayant visuellement, moitié en travaux qui doivent saupoudrer de brin de scie & de plâtre les pâtisseries. Donc les sachets de plastique font l'affaire, j'imagine XD

J'ai essayé une douzaine de gâteries, c'était pas fameux fameux à mon goût francais mais je conviens que c'est exactement dans les cordes pour des desserts chinois (soit: pas trop sucré, pas trop goûteux, pas trop feuilleté). Leur crème fouettée l'est trop, presque en beurre. Je leur ai donné une bonne chance mais je ne suis clairement pas la clientèle-cible.
