“ Lovely little bakery with real pastries and they are deliciously hot first thing in the morning. Just know there is no seating so its a pick up and leave but absolutely love this place! Will be back! ”
“ Enjoyed a Sunday morning brunch at Chez Michel. The food was phenomenal! I tried the Strata, egg pastry and chocolate croissant. Each was just as good as the next but the egg pastry was my personal favorite. Buttery soft, flaky and perfectly warm. Looking forward to returning to try the illustrious Avons best corned beef as seen on the sign or the buildings exterior. Would love to see more of the French heritage told through the buildings decor! ”
“ I recently visited Chez Michel French Market on a whim. I had remembered they had posted some photos of sandwiches on their Facebook page and I was really craving a GOOD sandwich for lunch. They didnt have sandwiches advertised, so I has to ask the lady working there and they did have a few selections of specialty sandwiches. I ordered the brisket sandwich and I was not disappointed! It was messy, but delicious on a pretzel bun. It also came with a side of housemade chips. I also took home one of the items from the bakery case cake pop for dessert! This is a very cute shoppe! They have multiple cooler cases with lots of delicious looking treats desserts. I even saw a section for Gluten Free in the cooler case!! They have many different items other than the pastries in the cooler case. I saw housemade pastries cookies, sweet breads, muffins, scones, minidonuts, breads, specialty meats and cheeses, salsas, jams, floral elixirs, dried pastas, oils, spreads, relish, mixes and beverages too! They also carry Ben Heggys Gourmet Chocolates and candies! They also have seasonal cookies when I was in, they had Cleveland Brown, tulip and panda chocolate dippeddecorated Oreos! Very beautiful and delicious looking. haha. This shoppe is a definite stop at location if you are in town from out of town and regular visit if youre a local! ”
“ Was buying a gift for friends at a nearby store and noticed this shop. Had planned to get just a coffee when I first walked in. After seeing all that the store had, I ended up getting a bowl of lentil soup to eat in the store, and a couple a croissants, and several kolaczki cookies for takeout. Everything was terrific. Made a HUGE mistake not buying more of everything. Well worth stopping in and spending some dough when youre in Avon. Note Be sure to check their website for store operating hours before you make the drive there ”
“ We cannot say enough! It was spectacular! My daughter and I stopped in to get bread and ended up getting meat pies, sticky toffee cake, and croissants. We came from a family of bakers, so I know what good food is. The food was such a hit that my one daughter asked if she could come here for her birthday! It was comfort food at its finest. It was definitely like going to Grandmas house. On this cold fall day it really warmed our insides and our hearts. We will definitely be going back. ”
“ I just stopped in this morning and had the hardest time deciding what to order because it all looked SO good. I dont know if you can tell in the photos but the items are GIANT especially for the price. The owner was one of the sweetest humans ever and was so helpful! I went with the Strata Meat croissant bake, the Egg Ham and Cheese Croissant Made fresh when I got there, a french toast bar, and a Glazed Croissant. I could be happier with my selections. It is such a cute place with a ton of great options, I want to try the hand pies next! Definitely give this place a try, they also have a market part in the front with many jams and jellies and more! ”
“ Lovely bakery right off of 254. Lots of parking. The prices were very fair and there was a good variety of foods. My portion was huge and delicious. My toddler got a cake pop and enjoyed it. ”
“ The food is AMAZING!!! The perfect balance of sweet and rich and light and flaky. The service is always topnotch! Their croissants are divine, and they are possibly the only bakery that has ever mastered the perfect ratio of cinnamon to pastry for their rolls. ”
