Fantastic pastries! We tried the butter bun and raspberry shortbread cookie; both were excellent. Great shop worth visiting while in Cape May!

I love a good bakery. I don’t live close to any and Chez Michel is a treat when I vacationed in Cape May. There is ample parking and the staff are professional, courteous, and efficient. We had no trouble parking or quickly getting a variety of treats, even on a very busy weekend.

We got a sheet cake for my wife’s birthday (yellow cake with white buttercream icing) and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone really liked it. We will definitely order again in the future. Thank you!

My husband and I worked with Michel and team for our wedding cake. We had a fantastic experience. We were able to communicate via email and scheduled a call with Michel to discuss options/what we were looking for. My MIL and I went to visit in person and had a long sit down with Michel. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable.
We taste tested 3 different flavors of cakes and ended up picking all 3. We were able to get a smaller wedding cake and 1/2 sheet cakes for serving. Every flavor was absolutely delicious. Our favors were take-home desserts, and the cakes were taken immediately! I didn’t get a chance to have a slice of my favorite flavor before it was gone and ended up going back to Michel’s before leaving Cape May to buy another small cake just to be able to have a few slices! (Pictured below).
The cake was decorated beautifully and was exactly as I had imagined it to be! I would highly recommend Chez Michel for any of your confectionery needs!

Beautiful bakery with lots of selection.
The croissant sandwiches are filled with high-quality ingredients.
Delicious mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes complimented perfectly with flaky yet firm croissants to lock in the ingredients. The Ham & Cheese contains what seemed like a tavern ham. It was accompanied by a mild yet somewhat sharp cheese.
Overall, an excellent start of the morning.

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.

Darn, I really wanted to like the croissants; however, they were doughy with no flaky layers. And the almond croissant’s filling was liquid versus an almond paste (i.e. marzipan), which is my preference. Maybe a not-so-great baking day? Other than that, all the other pastries looked beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful.

This bakery is a must visit in Cape May! The baked goods are always fresh and delicious and the staff are so nice! The ham and cheese croissant is my go-to always but the sweets are amazing as well

Chez Michel is one of the best French Bakeries that I have tried in Philly, New York and Paris. The croissants are light and buttery, the chocolate eclairs are covered with a quality chocolate glaze and filled with delectable yellow cream. The donuts are delicious and the sticky buns are excellent! I’m not a fan of very sweet pastries which is oftentimes the way bakers make pastries. Chez Michel is truly an outstanding patisserie with baked goods made with love and perfection.
