Chez Michel

Our new favorite bakery in Cape May. Chez Michel offers a huge selection of French pastries, gluten free items, mousse cups, croissants, quiches, various types of cinnamon buns and more. Typically, prices for any kind of food in Cape May are outrageous and exaggerated, and some things here are high for sure, but there were also some pleasant pricing surprises and overall it was reasonable for such high quality. The chocolate cake slice had cake layers that were rich, moist and full of flavor; be sure to eat it at room temperature so the icing gets to a softer consistency. Another winner was a savory croissant, topped with just-slightly-sweet cheese and big chunks of bacon. Best of all was the butter bun; it's like a cinnamon bun crossed with butter cake. The place seems spotlessly clean, and the counter staff was so friendly. Graham greeted us with a big smile and answered all our questions, great attitude and customer service. Everything here looked so good, this place is a gem, can't wait to go back again.

Was looking for a gluten free pastry and this place did not disappoint. Chez Michel had the best gf chocolate cupcake and brownie. Will be back the next time I’m in Cape May!
