Gerhard's Cafe

Love their strawberry meringue cake! Super light and not too sweet. You can buy slices there or you can order over the phone. They have full cakes in several sizes that you can view on their website. They even rush ordered a cake for me on the same day before (although not recommended).

I used to go to Gerhard's almost thirty years ago and it was wonderful. The food was excellent and very European and the original owner was a very kind, warm person. Went back to Gerhard's three times in the past year, and the food is not very fresh, and the staff particularly Han is a miserable unsmiling person who clearly does not want to be there preparing food and serving customers. This is not the customer service that I grew up with, and I will not tolerate in any capacity. The owner Heather is a nice person, but should be hiring people who take pride in their work and have excellent customer service skills. There are kinder, professional staffed better cafe's in Scarborough and Markham that I will going back to more often. I will not be going back to Gerhard's. What a huge disappointment.

Sold a very expensive whipped cream cake for my birthday that was sour by the next day. Lied and said it was fresh! Waste of money and was disappointing!

Great tasting cakes and very friendly staff! These aren't your run-of-the mill grocery store cakes or pretentious over priced boutique cakes. The cake is light and fluffy and the cream is not over powering. Be sure to try the Strawberry Meringue Torte, the Dobosh slices and the classic Black Forest Torte. They can be a staple to celebrate any occasion or even just to get yourself over a long day at work

I went to Gerhard's over 20 years ago and fell in love with their cakes. It was a little European oasis in the middle of Scarborough. A month ago I drove there hoping that it would still be there and was euphoric that it was! The cakes and cookies are decadent! I have been there practically every week since my new discovery. I absolutely LOVE their cakes and am making it a point to try every one of them. Their salads and sandwiches are fresh and delicious too. My plan is to order desserts for any future dinner parties from there. Once you go to Gerhard's you have to go back and bring friends to share the incredible experience!
