Rudeness Free Extra – The girls on Saturday at Ashfield were offhand to me but rude to my wife when she arrived. Plus not helpful. There’s a difference between “is that all?” and “can I get you anything else?” Show details
Chocolate cake with freckles on top – Cake itself was fine but the freckles on top had the most disgusting flavour. I love chocolate but couldn't eat these as they have the worst after taste. Show details
Worst coffee in Melbourne – Worst coffee in Melbourne. I couldn’t believe first of all that the coffee was $5.50 -the girl explaining that she doesn’t set the price, obviously does not set the quality of the coffee or quality of the coffee maker either! Insipid, tanny, industrial muddy soup - bllaahhhh!!! Has got to be the worst coffee I have ever had!! Show details

Cake iced with Fungus ! – What a disappointment ! It was my friends birthday and the cake we bought from Michel's patisserie , Parramatta Westfield turned out to be full of fungus. I can bet the cake was at least 10 days old. This is my second awful experience with Michel's Parramatta. Never going there ever again. Pics posted have been taken few mins ago after we cut the cake.

Michel’s Gateway Langwarren – The best coffee! I have lactos free flat white double shot! Wallace, Wendy and staff are always friendly with very cheerful service. Highly recommended!! Show details
My Favourite Stop – The Michels Patisserie at Victoria Point Queensland is my favourite. I think it is family owned,they are all pleasant with a smile and quick chat to everyone. When I am at the shops I always buy a Lactose Free Iced Latte because they are magic,nobody makes them as good as they do. Their food is always fresh and they have an amazing variety for such a small shop.I hope they survive all the Lockdowns.It would be a real shame to lose them. Show details
Best cakes in the world – The cakes taste so good I get one every time for a birthday and every one says it so good number #1 in the world don’t believe me try it Show details
Negative reviews
Dreadful service – Michel’s Robina service was woeful. After we advised staff that the wrong coffee was brought over to us, the staff member so rudely told us that that is what is on the docket. We know what we wanted and ordered, so how is it our fault that the wrong item was rung up. I had to ask for the correct coffee to be made with no apology offered and a disgraceful attitude.
The woman who served me today appeared to deliberately serve people before me who arrived after – The staff don’t acknowledge customers waiting for them. She had a problem finding the cake in the computer and dithered around with that and finding and placing the cake in a box. Handed it over and after it was in my hand asked if I wanted a bag for it. What a foolish performance from her. Don’t go here. She’s got a serious problem. Show details
STAY AWAY FROM STORE @ MINTO! – MICHEL'S @ MINTO MARKETPLACE - Carrot Cake was absolutely disgusting and totally inedible. WARNING: Looks can be deceiving! Presentation of cake looked so nice when in actual fact it was stale!!! I will NEVER buy from this place AGAIN! Show details

Sorry but lost me as a regular customer – What happened to my lovely friendly coffee & lunch spot? Sorry but Loganholme is off my list, rude unfriendly staff have taken over, always out of cheese & spinach rolls -sad to have to post this but gave them the benefit of the doubt & after 3 tries I gave up- not worth a visit!

They serve sour milk in their coffee – My husband ordered a flat white at the HOMEBUSH DFO branch this morning and he said it tasted strange but he didn’t complain and still drank it, silly man. Turns out the milk was sour and he’s been ill. Apart from the coffee, everything else he’s eaten today I’ve also eaten and I’m fine so it’s defo the coffee causing him to be sick. Hopefully… Read more
it’ll just go through him and it’s not something worse like listeria. Very dodgy serving sour milk, and very risky too.

Horrible cake – I bought a white sponge for my sons birthday. I asked if it would be fine for the following day and was assured by staff that it was. Well we had it the next day and it was horrible, stale and very dry. I have had cake there before and it has been good. I spoke to the owner about it and all he said was ok. No offer of a refund or discount for something in future. My grandkids wouldn’t even eat it (and they love cake) Show details
Pistachio cake terrible! – Been craving cake for days but papas patisserie is a bit far. I saw Michel’s so I thought I’d give it a try. Absolute waste of money! Cake is so terrible! Taste like cough syrup. Wont recommend to anyone. I will tell everyone I know not to buy there. Even Luna the neighbour’s cat didn’t t eat it.
Really bad service – Saw a sign in the front of Michels in Dapto mall which stated scrambled eggs on 2 toast called bonjour for 9.90. Went to order from a person with a terrible resting face and a greeting of yep. Asked for the special and she nor the barrister did not know what I was talking about and looked at me as though I was the idiot. She then proceeded to… Read more
charge me for extras. Didn't even bother to look at this advertised sign. Michels need to train their staff and move this person behind the scenes. 11am 6/7/20
Don't go there – Used to work for one of them for more than five years. Watching them lower the quality of their products more and more to save money. I left because I can't sell defrosted 4 days old cakes to customers and lie to them it is fresh made in the morning anymore.
Not Happy Jan!!! – Michels at Parkmore Shopping Centre Well so much for a lovely mothers day treat- got 2 of the pink heart shaped lamingtons... They were the driest tasteless things I've ever tasted - they were definitely not fresh - so disappointing!! Show details
I love the Milkshakes and – I love the milkshakes and Iced chocolate. I have tries the cake and it was so yummy I JUST LOVE IT :) I would recommended it to all. Thank you for the great services. Show details
Best Michels ever – Wow, I am astounded at the negative reviews for Michels..my local is at St Clair in NSW. I go there at least once a week, sometimes twice. My order, skim, 1/2 strength cap, in a mug, extra hot, and a mini sausage roll, always delicious. Their mini sausage rolls are the only ones I can eat without tomato sauce. Service is prompt, even when they're… Read more
busy Michelle and Don pump the orders out with a smile and a kind word for their many regulars. The mini sausage roll is served on a small plate with a knife and fork. I cannot fault this outlet. I did however, some years ago, go to the Michels at Plumpton, before it closed down. My sausage roll was balanced precariously on the side of my mug and saucer, and had coffee slopped all over it. For those unsatisfied customers who have complained to store owners with no result, complain to Michels HO directly. These franchisees have stringent operating procedures to adhere to. I have seen people with clipboards, looking at how the entire shop is being run, so I think they would be very protective of the Michels name and reputation.
Horrible customer service – Think this is a family owned business, one of the daughters has awful customer service. The owners are lovely and always cater for me and my visually impaired mum however the young bigger girl never has a smile on her face and looks angry every day. Will not be spending my own money at this cafe anymore. Show details
Worst coffee – No idea how to froth the milk looks like a bubbly concoction and tasted like dishwasher water worst coffee ever and they charge a fortune for it I’ll never go back Show details

Worst cake ever – Purchased a cake for my oma’s 100th, a very special occasion, only to find the cake was BURNT and very dry under the icing. I was also refused a refund!
Great quality and service – I love my local Michel’s Patisserie- the food is always amazing and I look forward to seeing what is new on their special board. I’m particularly impressed by their trainees and how friendly and happy they always seem. This is a reflection of their management.
Way too much salt! – Bought 2 small sausage rolls at your store in Croydon at approx 0900 hrs this am. Way way too much salt. Gave them to the dog. Will not be trying there again! Show details

Absolutely terrible to work for – I was suppose to be paid $16 but end up paying me $12!! They argued and swear at customers I felt very uncomfortable working there for my first 2 days definitely relived I didnt go back. Show details
Cakes are not fresh, dry and no taste – Today I bought a red velvet cake from Michels Westpoint store Blacktown. I asked if the cake was fresh and from todays delivery. I was assured it was. All my guests were very disappointed and and disgusted at the quality and tasteless cake. Will not be purchasing a birthday cake from Michels in the future Show details
Relaxing and enjoyable Coffee time – I have 3 other senior friends that we meet up for social coffees at michelles coffee shop 2 or 3 times a week. We are always greeted with a welcoming smile and a cheery hello, the reason why i wanted to write this is because its nice just to go out and relax but when staff make you feel special you just want to go back there everytime and thats… Read more
why we do. Toowoomba is a friendly town and when you go out thats what you look for, is the friendly attitude that makes you remember that place and go back everytime. So thankyou.
Don't go to Minto – After a bad experience at Minto I thought I'll give it another go. Big mistake ! Ordered mugachino and leminton . It was practically empty and I sat for ten minutes patiently. Then whent to see staff behind counter they had forgotten. I'm finished with this Michele's. Show details
