Michelle’s Bakery

Bakery looked delicious! Unfortunately I canceled my order after the third comment from the lady waiting on me! She was a complete B!!! I will give it another try… hopefully she will be off that day! #customers1st #lovewhatyoudo!

I don’t know what more to say other than a visit to west side market is not complete without visiting Michelle’s

Best bakery at the West Side Market. I went today (first day open after the fire) because I was going through bread withdrawal. Once you’ve tried her breads, you will never buy a loaf of bread or rolls from Giant Eagle or anywhere else ever again.

My first time at the West Side Market, I immediately spotted the chocolate eclairs at Michelle’s Bakery. I had to try one, and it was perfect in every way: fresh, light choux dough, a generous smear of gooey dark chocolate on top, and loads of cream — real cream — inside. Now, that éclair is pretty much the main reason I go to the West Side Market — battling the crowded aisles is totally worth it. But arrive early — I rolled up to Michelle’s for my éclair at about 4pm on Saturday, after a late lunch at Nate’s, and the cabinets were dark and empty. Total devastation.

It’s pretty safe to say that I could not live a happy life without these amazing, fresh loaves of bread.
You know what I’m talking about. The kind with the crunch on the outside and the soft, fluffy goodness on the inside. There literally is nothing that compares to freshly baked, local breads.
As I tripped and maneuvered my way through a packed Saturday morning at the West Side Market, I wondered if I’d ever find the bread stand I was looking for. That’s when I spotted Michelle’s… and a lovely sign that says they accept credit cards. Bingo!
Although it’s a $ 10 minimum, I never have a problem picking out enough fresh loaves, baguettes and baked goods to surpass that limit. This past time I bought some rustic Italian bread (unsliced), a pepperoni loaf (good god… mmmm) and a pretzel roll. Can I just tell you that if you’ve never tried a pretzel roll, you haven’t lived a full and happy life. Just putting that out there.
The service was great for a busy Saturday morning and the ladies behind the counter were very helpful! They patiently waited while I made my selections and even asked if I wanted my bread sliced.
Michelle’s Bakery is a «must-​stop» at the West Side Market if you’re looking for freshly baked artisan breads, desserts, you name it. It’s also a very dangerous temptation if you’re trying to watch your carbs… oh wells.
