We all have our favorites but honestly we all agree that they are the best donuts we have known. Yes, the line is long and difficult on hot summer mornings and for reasons to unbeknownst to most of us, the shop refuses to install air-conditioning on the inside, and they only take cash, but it is still worth the effort for the deliciousness inside. The baked goods are all top shelf and the staff are all friendly notwithstanding the heat they are working in.

There are several, but the one that really caught my attention was Chez Michel. Besides Italian, French bakeries are some of my favorites - and since the reviews looked great, I made plans to check it out. Chez Michel is located in West Cape May amongst a small strip of other businesses. Even though the bakery is only ~4 years old, Michel Gras has been in Cape May since 1984 and previously owned another French bakery in the area. I arrived mid-morning - it wasn't too crowded but it was also raining hard so that may have curbed the crowds. The bakery itself has a pretty typical layout - a large open area for customers and a line of display cases that house the goods. I also noticed a selection of coffee products and souvenirs for purchase off to the side. They have a good selection - I noticed tarts, cakes, cookies, and an expansive selection of quiche. I wanted to get a good sense of the bakes so I got a few things: broccoli and cheese quiche, bacon and cream cheese tart, linzer tart, cherry and cheese danish, elephant ears, and walnut sticky bun (don't worry, I shared). Everything was delicious - I could tell they were high quality, it really showed in all of the bakes. My favorite was definitely the walnut sticky bun - that walnut topping almost tasted like candy and the bun itself was soft and flavorful. Other standouts for me were the quiche, linzer tart, and elephant ears - some of the best I've had. Service was good - I was taken care of promptly and all of my bakes were packed meticulously. Overall, Chez Michel is a yes - it may not be on the main drag, but the bakes are high quality so it's well worth a visit. I would definitely return the next time I find myself in Cape May.

The people working there were as friendly as can be and the feel was like someone was cooking in their own kitchen at home for you. The menu is mostly breakfast items and they have several vegetarian and vegan options which was nice. They also sell some CBD and wellness products. We decided to order a slice of quiche, 2 jumbo muffins (blueberry and chocolate chip) and a cappuccino. Unfortunately, the frothing part of the espresso machine was not working so I was unable to try the coffee. We waited outside for over 15 minutes after they told me that they were preparing our order. It was an oddly long wait since I told them they don't need to heat the quiche. Anyway, when we got home we found the jumbo muffins were not jumbo at all and were smaller than a regular muffin. They also tasted very dry. The quiche was very good but was more of a sliver than slice. The kicker was that these 2 tiny muffins and sliver of quiche was $15! I guess the breakfast sandwiches are the thing to get here but I'm not sure we will be giving them another shot based on this experience which pains me as much as I really wanted to love this small business.
