Delishes Egg, bacon and cheese muffins! Friendly staff. Eat in or take out. Variety of muffins to buy to take home.

Amazing English Muffins! Great service! This was my first time trying Michael's English Muffins and I must say that I was impressed with the quality of their service and food. I was greeted when I arrived in the store, and I got a thoughtful thanks for coming in as I left with my order. The order... Sweet Potato English Muffin with Biscoff Cookie Butter x Turkey Bacon 10/10 So good! I will definitely be returning to Michael's English Muffins. *My wife went here about 20Min before I did, she ordered a Turkey Bacon Egg x Cheese Sandwich 9/10 I think we found a new spot for some good food. read more

I stopped by Michael's Muffins at 12:58 PM, and unfortunately my first experience was disappointing. I greeted the older woman who came from the back, but she didn't respond, and I immediately felt unwelcome, like I wasn't going to receive service. She then mentioned whether the cook would turn the grill back on, which only added to the discomfort. Based on her tone and body language, I decided it was best to leave rather than stay in an environment that didn't feel inviting. What really stood out to me was what happened next. While sitting in my car, I saw another customer a white male walk in a few minutes later at 1:01 PM. He was greeted with a smile, positive energy, and a completely different attitude than what I experienced. I came in respectful and calm, so the difference in treatment was hard to ignore so what else could it be? Besides my race?? and honestly that is what raised concerns for me. I've heard good things about the food, so I may consider giving them another chance. But first impressions matter, and this one wasn't a good one at all. read more

I thought I knew what I wanted out of an English muffin: a healthier carb with "nooks and crannies" to hoard pockets of less healthy condiments. But my life has been a lie-- what I really needed was Michael's English Muffins with their pillowy thickness that makes me crave them more than the average bagel. I'll never be able to go back to store-bought or fast food English muffins. Four stars and a half stars. This reflects how good their English muffins are despite me getting the wrong muffin for my sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. They had run out of turkey bacon an hour before closing, so that sweet/savory sandwich on the menu must be pretty popular. They were also all out of bags of original flavor English muffins, but we ended up quite happy with the 4-pack of sweet potato cinnamon. Service was polite, and there was plenty of parking was available in the shared lot. We enjoyed watching another small batch getting worked on at the plancha behind the counter. We'll absolutely be back for rosemary olive English muffins and to try more sandwiches. We'll probably also harangue any friends traveling through to area to pick some up for us since shipping them home runs about ~$20. read more

Michael's English Muffins - SEC sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Came on a thursday morning 9 am, no wait at all. I love how you can see the muffins being made right there! I purchased a sweet potato cinnamon bag to take home and a coffee + the originator to dine in, the coffee was freshly made and good quality, they also have 3 torani syrups for free (cinnamon, caramel, and toasted marshmallow) the sandwich was a 10/10 perfect kick from the pimento cheese and the sausage had a very homey hand made feel it didn't taste like a generic a frozen patty. The sandwich size was perfect for me but I think if I was starving I could have 1.5, they come cut in half so you could get 3 sandwiches for 2 people if you wanted to leave more full. read more

I dropped by on a Wednesday afternoon for an early lunch before Michael's closed. The restaurant is small and it appeared clean. I ordered the bacon and egg on an original English muffin with bisccoff butter. I enjoyed the sweet and salty of this and I have no complaints. Very good and satisfying. The staff here were pleasant and helpful. The order and checkout process was effortless. When my food was given to me it was fresh and piping hot. read more

Michael's sells a variety of English muffins and toppings that can be added such as sausage, eggs, bacon, cream cheese, etc. I decided to check out this restaurant after it got a lot of attention on social media. I expected there to be a long wait but going early in the morning in the middle of the week prevented that from happening for me. The owner or possibly manager of the business stated that Saturdays are really busy. The employees were pleasant. There are tables to dine inside of the business and a shared parking lot out front. You can also get your food to go in a timely manner. I decided to order the sweet potato muffin with bacon and biscoff. It was amazing! I wish I would have gotten another one. I also got an order of hash browns and a raisin muffin with honey butter. They were also good. Some of the potatoes could have been cooked a little longer. They were seasoned but needed a little salt. The sandwiches are toasted and served warm but they are small. The hash browns were served hot. read more

I have to say I never thought there was really a difference in any english muffin until I tried Michaels. this is what you could call home cooked without any of the extra ingredients you get at the store that you really don't need. The breakfast sandwiches are incredible and the muffins are great, you have to take a pack home. This is definitely a go to stop when i'm in Raleigh. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. If I I could give 10 stars I would! We ordered the breakfast sandwiches (one on original and one on the rosemary and olive) and they were UNREAL. I will never eat a plain, grocery store bought English muffin the same way. I strongly recommend the rosemary and olive muffin for savory lovers! This place instantly became one of our local gems that we recommend and frequent. Easy, accessible parking. Cleanly and cute seating! Very friendly staff! read more

Went by for the much talked about breakfast sandwiches. I got the BEC and mom got the SEC. And I also got the potatoes. Both sandwiches were good, but a bit greasy. The potatoes were very greasy but well seasoned. Now let's talk about the English muffins. I love the variety of flavors. I mean, who doesn't want a sweet potato English muffin? All the flavors are good. If you like a denser English muffin you'll like these. More biscuit like to me. I personally like a bit thinner EM and I love the nooks and crannies in a Thomas's EM. But these were tasty and very good as well. Service was good and pretty quick. The cashier was very helpful in making suggestions. The place is small but has adequate seating. They also have muffins packaged to go. Now here's where I dinged them. A 4 pack of EM were $9.50!!! You read it right. I think it's too high for bread, but that's just me. This and the greasiness of the food accounts for the 4 stars. And they don't have a variety pack which they should since there are a variety of flavors. However your can just order different flavors individually. Overall I would go back. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

It's good, not great, but it has changed my perspective on English Muffins. These taste nothing like the ones in the store: they're much lighter and have much more olive oil or butter in the recipe. It's like having a mix of a delicious bagel with really good spreads or fillings. That being said, the taste does end up a bit generic for me: it feels like just another sandwich place or bagel shop. read more

Great food, but the restaurant was dirty. The English muffin sandwiches are delicious!

Best English muffins around! Super friendly staff. I love that they sell their muffins packaged so you can have them later at home. 10/10 will return. read more

Michael's English Muffins - "The Originator" and a Sweet Potato Cinnamon muffin w/ cream cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My partner and I found this place one day when we were looking for a new breakfast spot. Such a good find! We like to get a SEC and BEC each and then split a sweet one - they'll sometimes have a cookie butter one. A little bit on the expensive side and it can take around 15 - 20 min to get your food so take that into account. Overall, really love this spot and will continue coming back. read more

Holy breakfast perfection, Batman. These things are unreal. Fresh, doughy goodness in all kinds of flavors, savory and sweet. Picked up some on my birthday and shared with my parents. My dad said they tasted like the crumpets he used to bring home for my 'foncy' grandmother. Raleigh is lucky to have our very own authentic English muffin source. The gentleman taking my order was also super informative, sharing his favorites and a list of the locations around the Triangle they deliver to, like Optimist and Relish and NOFO@the Pig - all known for their excellent taste and local connoisseurs in their own right. Great for out-of-town-guest baskets or just stepping up your 'morning toast' game. Don't miss these! Literally...'cause the bakery itself closes at 1pm and isn't open on Mondays. read more

Just went for the 1st time. Loved the food would recommend going early on the weekend. Went in a Saturday at 11ish and there was a 60 minute wait to get the food once ordered. Staff were good just a very busy place. read more

Definitely the best English muffins I ever tried. They are not cheap ($10 for a 4 pack), but they are thick so they can get crisp on the outside while remaining soft in the center. They are perfect if you're making Eggs benedict. I also tried the sweet potato cinnamon with honey butter. Again not cheap, but wonderful flavor. Hopefully they'll open more locations around the Triangle! read more

The biscoff cookie butter and bacon was a delicious surprise! We bought extra English muffins home to recreate the sandwich.

I had enjoyed MEM at The Optimist coffee shop several times and had always enjoyed them. With an Offline Raleigh offer I needed to their brick and mortar store. Upon entering, you're greeted by what feels like a mix of a Five Guys (perhaps that's what was here previously?) and a Cracker Barrel. There are 5 or so tables with several chairs at each, and a few displays where you can buy jams, English muffins to go, honey, etc. The menu is a good mix of meaty sandwiches and those on the sweet side. There are also sodas, juice and coffee available. I will say that my order, In Da Club, was a bit smaller than I expected. While good - and very messy - I didn't leave feeling full. The employees were mostly friendly, but I will probably stick to getting their English muffins at The Optimist where they're packed full of egg, sausage and cheese. read more

This is a local bakery that is in walking distance from my house. I have been here multiple times to get some freshly baked English muffins. You can even watch them bake them right there. Well, I shouldn't say baked, as they are not baked in an oven, but cooked on top of a griddle like a pancake. I will say that they are nice and thick, not like the think ones you get at the store. Plus you can also have them turn your muffin into a sandwich, which I recommend. #498 read more

This cute little spot is very close to our home so we decided to give it a try. Everything tasted very good, except there is a hint of bitterness with the original muffins from the maybe burnt/toasted seeds? Other than that, the muffins had an amazing crispy touch to the top & bottom. I am really in love with the Biscoff cookie butter! I would recommend the originator as well, but I was not so fond of the get lucky sandwich. The staff are super friendly and it is very clean inside. I will definitely be back and recommend this breakfast spot to others! read more

Michael's English Muffins are so good, they're in a category of their own. They're sweeter, fluffier, and savory-er than any English muffin I've tried to date. I've tried the bacon, egg and cheese on an original muffin, and I've also bought some of the everything muffins at a farmers market to make breakfast sandwiches at home (pictured). They're a little expensive, but oh so worth it. Best English muffin you've had, period. Not even close. read more

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!! Holy cow this place knocked my socks off. My initial thought was "English muffins.. I mean how good could they be?" Answer = really freaking good. I got the "it's a Gouda day" and it's truly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I also was a piggy and got the peanut butter and jelly as well, which was also amazing. My husband had the SEC and again - amazing. We also grabbed a 4 pack of the sweet potatoe cinnamon English muffins and ate them all within 24 hours of getting them. They're actually so good that you could literally eat it plain as a pastry. I will be thinking about these breakfast sandwiches for weeks (probably more like days) until I return. Do not miss this spot!!!! read more

Cute little shop, hidden behind Starbucks. I had no idea this place existed, but glad I came upon it. The English muffins are outstanding - firm on the outside and soft inside. I was sad they were out of their sweet potato flavor, but I opted for tomato and avocado on an Everything muffin. I will say that the avocado didn't seem fresh, tasted more like an avocado spread which isn't my fav, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I definitely still recommend this place. Lots to try here- several breakfast sandwiches, hashbrowns, etc. Staff were nice and my food was ready quickly. read more

Not your typical English muffin. These put them to shame. Super thick, dense, and flavorful. I love them actually. Great clean location, friendly staff, and price was average. read more

These are hands down the best English Muffins you will ever eat! No doubt. These will make you question why you EVER bought those store thin ones. Seriously if you have guests over and want to make them the best breakfast ever...pick up some of these ($8 for four of them)...toast them up, make a breakfast sandwich out of them or use them as a hamburger bun...options are endless for these beauties. This is in a small strip mall in North Raleigh off Capitol Boulevard. You can get your muffins to go or have them make you a sandwich to eat in or take out. My most recent morning visit had me enjoying a Sweet Potato Cinnamon English Muffin toasted with light honey butter. I tried to control myself, but honestly the whole thing was in my belly before by the time I drove the couple miles to work. Keep in mind if you get an item they have to prepare, allow a few minutes for it to be made/toasted, etc. This is not fast food junk. They are doing it right. Note for Vegans...they do have Vegan English Muffins as well. When I needed them, they had them in the freezer. And these do freeze well! read more

I had such high hopes. Based on reviews and the website. And a friend who had eaten them at another venue. However it was like a trip to sponge bobs opposite land. The muffins were saturated in hot grease or oil representational of butter. Not toasted before assembling. Sliced not fork split. Slimy butter process when served on site which ruined the freshly made muffin. Dire. And unnecessary fouls for a good product. While one of the staff was nice, the other made us feel like we had pulled into a dive bar where we did not belong..I could hear her "git back in yer car you uppity outsiders" thoughts loud and clear. She wouldn't barely look at us. I had considered buying a big ole' bag of take out muffins but her attitude was sooo bad...it made me feel reluctant to even inquire if she would let me take them out of the store with me. The cook however was working so hard to make up for her surliness which made it all more the obvious. But what he made up in friendliness did not translate into prep. Or ingredients on the muffins. Maybe you will have better luck with just the muffins and pick em up than we did. read more

Do yourself a favor and buy their English Muffins!! They are everything that you expect from a great English Muffin: soft part, crunchy parts, and so tasty. The first time I ordered I had one of the sandwiches and purchased several bags for home. The sandwich was bacon and cheese. The next day I really got a great taste for the muffin when I ate it plan. It was amazing! I am thankful these folks are not simply down the street or I would be in big trouble! read more
