It's been awhile since I've posted a yelp review, but I absolutely had to give Michael's 5 stars. I…read morecalled him on a Thursday morning asking if he could do a dozen lemon cupcakes for my son's first birthday and have them ready by Saturday - a real last minute order. He said he wouldn't have time to add custom decorations, but I had an idea and had him frost 11 in green and 1 in red. When I picked them up on Saturday, he added two cookies to the box. I also ordered a meat pie and a kofta wrap and while I was waiting, he gave me two pieces of warm baklava, fresh from the oven! Absolutely delicious. When everything was ready, he carried it out to my car for me, since I had the stroller. He's such a kind man. And oh my gosh... possibly the best cupcakes I've ever had. The frosting was light and more buttery than sweet. I usually take the frosting off of cupcakes but I didn't this time because it was just too good. The lemon curd center was tangy and just the right level of sweetness. I will return to Michael's for every birthday/anniversary/party from now on. Oh and that meat pie is going to live in my brain forever. So aromatic and delicious... I got it for my husband but had eaten half of it by the time I got home. Whoops!

Lu's never misses. We stopped by for sandwiches and iced coffee, and everything was fresh,…read moreflavorful, and generously portioned. The steak & egg bánh mì was the star--perfectly crusty bread with a soft interior, packed with crunchy pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeños for just the right amount of heat. The fillings were well-balanced and didn't skimp, making every bite satisfying. We also tried the breakfast bánh mì, which was buttery and flaky, layered with fresh veggies and savory protein--simple but done really well. The little touches, like the pickled veggies on the side, made it feel thoughtful and authentic. To top it off, the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong, smooth, and not overly sweet--exactly how it should be. Perfect pairing with the sandwiches. Great food, solid portions, and consistently good quality. Lu's is an easy go-to for bánh mì and coffee, whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go. Highly recommend.

Once I got to Lu's, I tried the Vietnamese coffee and a guava and cheese muffin -- to die for! I had brought my laptop and got work done for a few hours.

Highly recommend stopping by Lu's for breakfast and/or lunch!

Inside is a combination of cafe and bakery, with sweet items like cakes on one side, and a hot case of dominican style pastries on the other. We were drawn to the hot items this time, but our eyes kept wandering to the sweets and carrot cake. Next time we hope to eat in for the cafe sandwiches and delicious looking sweet treats. Service was super helpful - describing items we didn't know in detail. The pastelitos, cheese balls and everything we tried were amazing. I wish I could remember the name of one of my favorites which was a savory pastry ball with chicken but add a texture almost like short bread if that makes any sense. The cheese balls were quite different from what I am used to - a very different texture from Brazilian cheese balls and delicious. We noticed several people getting large platters of pastries and cakes all we were there so they seem to also do custom and catering orders. Definitely a place to check out for snacks, lunch, our tummies for a special event.

The cake was delicious and moist as well - I couldn't have asked for a better quality in taste and the buttercream was delish (we opted for chocolate cake with an Oreo filling). The only downside was that I didn't receive a quote as to what the cake was going to cost in advance, which has not been my experience at any other bakery that I've ordered a custom cake from. I called ahead and walked through the specifics of what I was looking for, then emailed to confirm the order, but I wasn't aware of the price tag until I went to pick up the cake. I also initially submitted a cake order inquiry via their Facebook page, which went unanswered. That feature should be turned off entirely if they don't respond to social media inquiries, or at least have an auto-response to indicate how to order.
