Michael's Bakery

Ordered a King Cake for a Mardi Gras party I was having amongst friends and family. I called the evening before and they were able to provide one for pickup the next day which worked out perfectly. I had never been inside this bakery prior to picking up the cake and I was impressed with the many different pastry and dessert options they had so I also grabbed a few more things to try. Prices were very fair as well! Everything ended up being delicious. The king cake was a hit with everyone and was extremely flavorful, perfect texture, and not dry at all. Highly recommend this local bakery!

UPDATED REVIEW (2024): Hometown staple. Fresh baked goods including cakes, doughnuts, muffins, and bread. Also available are made to order deli meat sandwiches. Service is also attentive and friendly. My favourite worker who works there is an old lady, Luba from Ukraine, who I love chatting with because she just exudes joy and kindness. Plus, who doesn't love a Grandmother? There are younger workers there too who are nice. Prices are very decent. In my recent July 2024 visit, I got a Miami donut and a German Kaiser sandwich. I had never ordered any of their sandwiches before so The famous Miami donut has only gone up in price by $1.35. It cost $1.65 in 2019 and now, in July 2024, it cost $3.00. The sandwich that I ordered was a 'build your own' sandwich on Kaiser bread which was $6.50. I added turkey, tomatoes, their oil/dressing mix, and mayo on the side. The German Kaiser sandwich was a delicious second lunch for me after 3:30pm (the lunch I ate earlier in the day which I prepared at home was very light).Since my below review in 2019, I still love Michael's Bakery and I wish I lived closer to the business. While they may not be one of those "fancier" bakeries, they are still very good. Never judge a book by its cover (including inside appearance). The outside ("cover") building is simple which is fine since it tied into the neighbourhood (Brooklyn) that the bakery is located in.I'll definitely be back. I normally visit every 3-4 months.

Outdated interior, but in the way where you never want an update. The kind that signals the owners are more focused on the quality of their products than the flashiness of their storefront. Despite living only a few blocks away, it took almost three years for my husband and I to finally make a visit. Coming during the holiday season was a delight because they have a huge assortment of seasonally decorated treats - their butter cookies being a specialty. I got an assortment, which you pay for by weight rather than count, and all were good but the standout was the cinnamon star cookie. So good! We also got a loaf of bread and made fluffy garlic bread from it. I noticed they make deli sandwiches here as well which I'll be eager to return and try. Plus, you can order full sized cakes that look like an excellent choice for birthday and graduation type celebrations.

The Miami donuts. Yum, the hoagie rolls are heavenly with the lights flakiest crust. Highly recommend. I plan to make a bahn mi with them one day! So good

So glad I finally stopped in to check out this bakery!! Their pastries and muffins were the perfect breakfast treat! Quick and easy to take home!

The Miami donut was good (like a cruller/donut stick) but the inside was yellow... the blueberry fold was also yellow inside, and not very tasty. Young girl behind the counter wasn't friendly and clearly would rather have been elsewhere. Didn't realize they had bread, it was almost hidden in a cabinet behind the counter - otherwise I'd have tried some.This was one of those places where they have so much, you just know it can't all be fresh, and then you have to guess which items are fresh. I don't know.

The Miami and apple donuts are fried perfectly and even remained ideally lightly crispy on the outside and soft and moist within by nearly closing time when I bought them!

Friendly staff. They carry a variety of items including cakes, cookies, breads, and even make sandwiches. The price on the cake slices were very reasonable and tasted good. You can park on the street or in the back lot.

Love their bakery so good! Everyone is so friendly. Had my moms 80th birthday cake made here and they did a excellent job.

The bakery is good but the atmosphere when you walk in is not welcoming. The girl that was waiting on us looked bored to tears and very unfriendly, like she was doing us a favor waiting on us . A real effort on her part. Another couple of girls walked in that worked there and they looked at us like we didn't belong there. Just angry looks on their faces. I did buy a few things but no thank you's. As a matter of fact I said thank you to her for giving me my bag and change! My sister and I just wanted to get out of there! Awful! Will never go back.
