It's been awhile since I've posted a yelp review, but I absolutely had to give Michael's 5 stars. I…read morecalled him on a Thursday morning asking if he could do a dozen lemon cupcakes for my son's first birthday and have them ready by Saturday - a real last minute order. He said he wouldn't have time to add custom decorations, but I had an idea and had him frost 11 in green and 1 in red. When I picked them up on Saturday, he added two cookies to the box. I also ordered a meat pie and a kofta wrap and while I was waiting, he gave me two pieces of warm baklava, fresh from the oven! Absolutely delicious. When everything was ready, he carried it out to my car for me, since I had the stroller. He's such a kind man. And oh my gosh... possibly the best cupcakes I've ever had. The frosting was light and more buttery than sweet. I usually take the frosting off of cupcakes but I didn't this time because it was just too good. The lemon curd center was tangy and just the right level of sweetness. I will return to Michael's for every birthday/anniversary/party from now on. Oh and that meat pie is going to live in my brain forever. So aromatic and delicious... I got it for my husband but had eaten half of it by the time I got home. Whoops!

Inside is a combination of cafe and bakery, with sweet items like cakes on one side, and a hot case of dominican style pastries on the other. We were drawn to the hot items this time, but our eyes kept wandering to the sweets and carrot cake. Next time we hope to eat in for the cafe sandwiches and delicious looking sweet treats. Service was super helpful - describing items we didn't know in detail. The pastelitos, cheese balls and everything we tried were amazing. I wish I could remember the name of one of my favorites which was a savory pastry ball with chicken but add a texture almost like short bread if that makes any sense. The cheese balls were quite different from what I am used to - a very different texture from Brazilian cheese balls and delicious. We noticed several people getting large platters of pastries and cakes all we were there so they seem to also do custom and catering orders. Definitely a place to check out for snacks, lunch, our tummies for a special event.

The quality and portion sizes of both the cookies and ice cream are good. Clean and bright interior with plenty of seating. Service is quick. The reason I don't give this place a 5 star is that the prices keep creeping up. Within this year, according to my email receipts, the price of a cookies and cream has gone from $6.00 to $7.50. Pretty significant price increase over the span of less than a year. For that reason I typically come here once a month.
