Your jaw drops as soon as you enter and see the beautiful pastries, cupcakes, and sweets lined up in their display cabinets. Everything tastes just as good as it looks, the prices are fair for the quality of the food, and everyone I've spoken to here has been delightfully genial. Don't give it a second thought, step in and order something!

How could this place not get a critic's pick?

Desserts by Michael Allen didnt get a critics pick? Travesty! Everything there is first class. The woman behind the counter is incredibly nice and everything I've had there has been amazing. The Preline in particular was great. Decor is a tad bare but who cares? Best pastries ever.

  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
