Petits Gateaux is like the Magnolia Cupcake in New York. Their cupcakes are well decorated and make you want to eat every single one of them! I tried two of them, Chocolate truffle and banana cake. Both have great frosting. The cake however, is moist but closer to a cake's texture than a cupcake. If you like the frosting art, you should definitely check it out.

Don't bother with this place, The cupcakes aren't very good. Take your money a few blocks up on Mont-Royal to Point G.
I'm a baker and have also eaten cupcakes from the major players in NYC, so I know good cake when I eat it. Unfortunately this is not it. Cake is kind of greasy and frosting is American buttercream aka confectioners sugar mixed into butter. Any schmo can make that at home. If you're selling cupcakes at $3 a pop you should make proper meringue-based frosting. Also, the cakes and frostings were waaaay too sweet. -

I'm obsessed with cupcakes!
I've had cupcakes in tons of cities, from Miami to Chicago to Montreal, so I know exactly what makes a place special and a cut above any ordinary cupcake. Petit Gateaux does it perfectly! The icing is flavorful, but not overwhelming and the actual cake part was moist and had tons of flavor.
YUM!
They have a wide array of flavors, some regular flavors like chocolate and vanilla, and some more exciting flavors like chocolate-banana and green tea.
I love Petit Gateaux! Definitely one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. -

I live in the land of overpriced cupcakes, and I think have come to terms that I will never be a huge fan of these treats.
I do have to say that I opted for plain vanilla to compare to those I've had at all the recent weddings/batmitzvahs/showers/parties I've been to lately..and it measured up as the best of all!
If you're into these treats- make sure to mark Petits Gateaux. I saw some truly unique types for display that I can imagine would call out to cupcake fans around the world. -

Cupcakes are trendy but these delicious little treats are the real thing. Each flavour has something a little different. The moist banana cake has a succulent square of fudge wedged on top, the carrot cake sports delicate strands of caramelized carrot woven into a cloud of cream cheese icing and my favourite is the lemon tart, which features an injection of lemon right in the middle and light and fluffy meringue on top. Coffee and cupcake deals are on offer and the cute atmosphere definitely invites a late afternoon rendez-vous.
