Michel's - ROSTREVOR

After hard days shopping, where better to stop than just outside Coles for a cup of coffee. We saw they had a deal of coffee and cake for $6ish. The service was nice, the delivery was a little slow, but they were busy, and the cake/coffee was worth waiting. We sat at the tables in a busy atmosphere of a busy shopping mall, but it was nice. Then go home to get the shopping away.

I have visited this café several times and decided to check it out again recently. The café is situated in the Newton Shopping Centre on Montacute Road. There is street parking available, plenty of indoor seating, easy access, air conditioning, a good variety of cakes, and friendly table service. The only downside is that the dining area is quite exposed to the passing foot traffic. One staff member, Mr. Michel, stood out to me in particular. When I requested a cappuccino with extra foam and a unique design on top, he jokingly mentioned there might be an additional charge. My drink arrived with a creative design that was meant to resemble a boxing kangaroo, but ended up looking more like a seahorse. I appreciated the effort and humor in his attempt.

Michels is located in the bustling Newton Shopping Centre, making it a popular choice for a quick morning coffee rather than a romantic outing due to its busy atmosphere. The restaurant offers a wide selection of cakes, pies, pastries, and drinks. The service is friendly and efficient, with orders brought directly to the table. Signs proudly display Michels as the winner of the Best Coffee Shop of the Year award for the past four years, a recognition well-deserved in my opinion. My only complaint is the size of the portions, as seniors may prefer smaller snacks. Overall, Michels is a great spot to meet up with friends.

We frequent this café in Newton Centre often for a cup of coffee. Today, we noticed that business is thriving, especially with the nearby bakery closing down. Rez is his usual friendly self and provides great service. The dining area is quite nice. They have a decent variety of cakes and slices, although nothing particularly stands out. We try the apple slice, which is delicious and fresh. My coffee is also very good.

We enjoyed some good coffee here a few times, but... decided to take some meat cakes recently for later home. (Rind) Absolutely terrible product. The meat was full of Gristle, and practically inedible, with very common pastries. Of course, the products differ from the different franchises, but we... will not return.
