Reviews for Gerhard's Cafe in Scarborough, ON
My family has been coming here for almost 30 years, and the quality is still exceptional! Their pastries and treats are... freshmade daily and their meals are perfectly cute and portioned. But their cakes are what really take the cake! When I ordereda birthday cake, I asked for, and they gave me, a variety of cake slices so me and my family could try more of their options.Whether you go for a special occasions cake, their afternoon tea, or just a quick bite, you won't be disappointed by theirservices and quality products!

I have been looking forward to leaving a review for Gerard's Cafe and to try their offerings. I was looking to buy a cake for my... dad's birthday and I didn't want to just buy one from Metro, which is where I would normally buy one. I like the cakes there butthis was a milestone birthday and deserved something special. I googled cakes and found Gerhard's Cafe. They are just north ofBellamy and Ellesmere. After browsing the cakes online I decided on the strawberry torte. The cake comes in a cool box withtheir name on it that will look nice when you bring it to your gathering, nicer than a plastic clamshell or plain white box. Iappreciated this detail. The cake was unique and nothing like I have had before. The meringue on the outside of the cake and onthe middle layer adds a perfect sweetness level and adds a nice texture in every bite. It's a lighter cake so if you lovedeserts you could probably indulge in a second piece. Everyone at our gathering loved it. Price? All I can say is nice thingscost money and I feel I got my money's worth. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and I will be back to see what else they have to offer. Thank you for the high quality treat. I hope to be back soon. Read more

This was my first time at Gerhald? s Cafe and It was well worth the drive. I?m very happy with the strawberry shortcake! The... cake was so delightful and fresh! With just the right amount of sweetness and no taste of artificial flavour! Plus, we werewarmly welcomed and taken care of by Vivian. Thank you so much Vivian for your kindness, you made my day! I highly recommendthis place. Read more
German Bakery, loved the German cookies. They were like the one my mother made when I was young. Service was friendly and... helpful, the employee had lots of fun facts about this place. The cookies tasted very good, only bought one to try. I alsobought no added sugar apple strudel, very tasty option for no added extra sugar. Be warned, it is a little drier than yourtraditional strudel. Will visit again to try different types if pastries. Watch out for the elusive traveling panda Read more
The mocha chocolate cheesecake tastes very good, not too sweet and full of ingredients, especially the middle layer of cheese is... really delicious. The owner is very nice, so I will choose this cake shop in the future. Read more
Thoroughly disappointed. While I don't always write a review. I feel like such a lack of quality should be addressed. Me and my... family don't like cream that's too sweet and the cream in the Black Forest cake that we ordered was ok. That's about all thepraises I can sing for our order. The whole cake just felt cheap. Shown in the photo, over half the cake was cream. I usuallydon't mind a little extra cream in a cake but this was unacceptable. Especially when the sponge cake itself is bland andtasteless. While most Black forest cakes will have a chocolate shaving coating, our cake just had the same bland and tastelesssponge cake crumbled and sparsely sprinkled onto the side. Even in cheap Black Forests the cream is usually mixed with a Jellothat's a substitute for actual cherries. Instead, we were met with some type of jam that tasted more of cough medicine thanactual Kirsch. That means for $55 I received sad tasteless sponge cake, slathered with cream, all topped with crumbs. Iexpected so much more after reading reviews that their cakes were the best. I'm disappointed to say that this has to be one ofthe worst Black Forest cakes I've eaten. Read more
