Rive Gauche Patisserie

I’m so happy my mom’s birthday cake turned out awesome. It was so delicious and not overly sweet like many bakeries. It’s a but expensive but def got my moneys worth I think. I would go again for another special occasion.

I’m so happy to write a review for this place — as I’ve been buying cakes here for the last 4 years — and I still feel their cakes are original, yummy and will please everyone. Prices are reasonably priced — and sizes are relatively good — there are 4 sizes. So, you can get the size that fits your occasion.
What I Love: The Guanaja! I can only describe this cake as yummalicious to the max. It’s the ONLY cake, and I mean, ONLY cake I’ll buy someone for their Birthday. It’s not cream, not custard, sorta like a ganache chocolate cake with a crunchy crust. It’s not sickly sweet — there’s dark chocolate and hazelnut in one of their layers. So, the combination of flavors is really amazing. I have a Pokka membership card — so I get a 10 or 15% discount — it’s pretty worth it to get the card. Staff are pretty friendly and great too.
What I Don’t Love: Absolutely nothing!

Rive Gauche cakes are one of my top choices when buying whole cakes and sliced cakes when I have my cake cravings. The cakes are yummy and pretty reasonably priced. I have to recommend the Guanaja, which is the signature cake from Rive Gauche. It is a chocolate cake with a biscuit base. Although it is so full of chocolate, the cake is not too overwhelming sweet and has a nice texture. It is not too rich for an after-​meal dessert.
The strawberry shortcake also seems to be a popular choice as it sells out pretty fast. The location of this outlet is also a plus, as it is at Tampines 1 basement where there are other cake shops to explore your options before you settle on buying one. Special requests can be made in advance. You just have to inquire from the staff a little more and they are more than willing to assist you.
