Michael's Catering, Cafe, & Bakery

These guys have great donuts and other desserts. They also have great salads. Great soups as well it's a cafeteria style line but always quick. They have an in Mall dining experience. There's no better place on the way so for these.

I have been going here for years. Order food today and was really disappointed the meat was dry and hardly any chesse on the sandwich. Seems ever since Mike's hasn't owned it the new owners really forgot why he started this business to give his customer quality food. Mike would of never let the sandwich I was served today leave the kitchen. I'm sad to see how this restaurant has gone down.

This bakery/cafe is very dear to the neighborhood. There is a very homestyle/cafeteria-style vibe to this eatery. The food is fresh and the quality is high. We often purchase lunches for company meetings at my workplace. However, my personal experiences have been less than ideal. Often the staff is unorganized and chaotically scrambling to meet the demand. This has been observed mostly in pick-up orders where each time I am usually missing an item, my order is wrong, and I'm waiting several minutes for staff to realize I'm trying to pay for my pick-up order. You have some very hard-working staff, but I think the kitchen format is forcing staff to trample over one another-thus making more mistakes. I think a simple expansion would make this "okay place" an "excellent" one, in time.

It wasn't too bad. Staff was friendly, donuts were decent. I got an italian creme cupcake and I didn't know there was coconut in it so that's my fault.

I remember Tres Leches cake being very good but I will update this review next time I go.

My husband and I flew all the way from Iceland during a pandemic to attend my mother’s wedding, only to get food poisoning from this once stellar company. I’m writing this review today to share my personal experience with any upcoming folks who may consider Michael’s Catering for their next event.

The wedding reception was held at the St. Michael’s Center / Hall in Oregon Ohio on March 13th 2021 and Michael’s Catering is the contracted company, therefore they had to be used. Which in previous years for other events our family has had (weddings, graduations, funerals, holiday parties, etc) it had not been an issue. As the original owner previously would deliver extraordinary service at extremely high standards. But fast forward to the transition from the original couple who owned the company to the new, they have now fallen short and compromised the once amazing reputation, we relied on and grew to expect.

Firstly, the food was barely warm and tasteless when it arrived to the head table. Second, the staff delivered the food out of table order serving the guests in the back by the kitchen next, instead of the family tables up front nearest to the head table. In fact, I had to stop eating to address it with the hostess when each course was being delivered incorrectly. Third, the bride and groom had envelopes for tipping which I delivered later that evening. However, the Michael’s Catering hostess, stated that there were 2 less staffers in attendance than what was scheduled, invoiced, and paid for.

Within 30 hours of the event concluding my husband begins to exhibit flu-like symptoms. Next, family members and guests from the wedding begin to reach out to the bride and groom telling them they were extremely sick and could not go to work. In fact, 2 separate guests ended up being treated in the ER for their sickness. The documented count was 42 people out of 59 became sick and the only commonality between everyone at this masked event was the food from Michael’s Catering. Which is truly unfortunate because my husband and I spent our week visit in bed recovering instead of spending time with my mom and new father.

The most unprofessional and disrespectable part in all of this was the fact that not once did anyone from Michael's Gourmet Catering, Inc. reach out to the couple to apologize or address the situation in any way. After an investigation by the Lucas County Health Department the Norovirus was documented within their final report. Even after, Michael’s Gourmet Catering remained silent.

Great food, all from scratch, and even better prices what's not to love about this place? Solid menu and daily specials are great to change it up. Best place for lunch in the city. The desserts are also second to none. Fast service, friendly people, fantastic experience.

It's a quiet peaceful place filled with the aroma of delicious pastries. For my 1st time, I ordered an all chocolate cookie, snickerdoodle/m&m cookie and a lemon jelly filled donut to share with a few ppl. The donut tasted amazing an the m&m cookie was great. The all chocolate one was okay and the person I shared with enjoyed the m&m cookie along with the donut, but they said the snicker doodle tasted like a sugar cookie.... Other than that I think this is a nice place to go if you have a sweet tooth, or you just simply want a nice desert.

This is one of my favorite places to eat 🍴 The chicken dumpling soup is to die for, all of their food 🍪🍞🍰 and deserts are awesome. If you've never been there you are missing out!!! I got the chicken dumpling soup Today and it was (as usual) delicious 😋🍴💓.

Bought 2 chocolate covered brownies with ñuts and they were delicious! 🙏 ❤️ Owner Kyle is a wonderful chef!

Talk about food that's better than mom used to make! This place will never disappoint you with their homemade soups and sandwiches on their scratch-made bread... not to mention their dessert case when you walk in! I have to say my favorite is the pecan diamond!
