The sandwiches here are so very good! The servers were friendly and efficient with getting food out. The packaging was really good for to go as well. There's a few spots along the wall with bar stool type seating for dining in. They get really busy and do sell out so go early if you're looking for something specific. They also do have several vegetarian options for sandwiches and possibly one might be vegan. For the salads and hot food there might be more vegan ones depending on offerings that day but not as much selection there and everything is pre-made so there's no customizing as a heads up. You can order a half or a whole sandwich though so you can try multiple and the prices are really good. Will def be back for another caprese and to try the eggplant parm.
First time walking down Pike Market Place and was super overwhelmed. It felt like there were never ending lines for a bigger name places. Michou may not have had a long line that extended outdoors but their food was good. There is a water dispenser with paper cups near the front of their entrance for the public. Since it is small, there were some area near the window counters where you could eat but we went outside in the back to eat. The sandwiches can either be ordered whole or in half and they ask whether you want it toasted or not. We got ours toasted and they cut the sandwich in half and put it in a sandwich bag for easy consumption. I forgot the name of the dessert/bar but the chocolate was extremely rich and thick. For the price I felt like this was an amazing value.
Don't skip this spot! It's easy to miss it when navigating the Starbucks crowd, but tucked inside is an incredible deli offering high stacked and deliciously fresh sandwiches, paired with sides and soups. There's so much to try here, and I'm going to slowly work my way through all the different sandwiches they have to offer. Service is quick and welcoming - don't miss out!
More like 4.2 stars, but tie goes to the runner in this case because its hard to find affordable food in the market. I would say their sweet spot is their sandwich selection. Some sandwiches are better than others, also look out for the quality. I pretty much always get the chicken sandwiches with a few sides, but I do have my eye on the tuna sandwich. As far as flavors go, its just good and sometimes ok food. I keep coming over the years because the quality of ingredients. There are many places that serve healthier food and most of them are kind of bland. This place seems to rely on its ingredients. I honestly appreciate that they allow people to order half sandwiches at a humanly fair price. Eatting here in expensive downtown Seattle will really make you question the pricing structure of sandwiches in the area. To be even more honest their service is pretty much in line with their prices, darn good once you get past the long line of people wanting to eat. I hear they even serve breakfast. Ill have to keep my that in mind in hopes that I get to try their breakfast one day.... and that its worth all the time and energy of keeping them in my list of breakfast places to eat... with that said, I highly recommend them if you just want a simple lunch with options that doesn't have such inflated prices for the area.
This place continues to be one of the biggest bangs for the buck in the entire Pike's area! Super fresh sandwiches (1/2 or whole!)...perfect for lunch! Great little counter top seating.
Walked in and the whole array of sandwiches are on display and I'm a sandwich guy. I do love a good sandwich with kick. They have a good amount of options but needed something just right... I chose the Tuscan crispy chicken and wasn't disappointed. There's parking noodles flavors and textures are everything you'd expect when you look and the food. Too many options, but definitely need to return for more.
Incredibly small spot done at the market. However, their food is phenomenal! Fresh made, toasted, literally melted in my mouth that beef sandwich. Well seasoned. There service is all business because the line gets backed up quickly! I thoroughly enjoyed the food again!
My friend raves about this place and the hype is real. I got a half sierra chicken and although I found my sandwich dry and a little bland, the service and atmosphere were great.
Sandwiches are incredible. We had the tuna and the chicken which we took on our hike. They packed well and were the perfect picnic sandwiches! The bread is soft and plush, the flavor was fresh and delicious. Def recommend!
I'm so excited to try this place as many others have review this place. The resounding theme was that this was a great place for sandwiches at a bargain value. The service was fine but not super friendly. You pick out the sandwiches that you wish to try at the counter and wait for it to be heated up in their Panini press. There's a small counter where you can eat the sandwich or it's probably best to take it to go and find a place to sit out in the open at the Market. I tried the Tuscan Chicken sandwich and the Crispy Chicken sandwich, both of which were a letdown because they were flavorless and extremely dry! I had a really hard time finishing the sandwiches. To each their own, but was not impressed. Total for 2 sandwiches was $26, which also wasn't a great value that others have spoken of. Try this place if you wish, but it's not a place I recommend.
I heard some good reviews about Michou so we checked it out while in pike place, but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. While the prices were all really affordable and everything came to about $15 for 3 items, I expected more from the flavors and portions. We got the portobello half sandwich, the pasta bake, and the bambaloni. The sandwich and pasta were just okay - kind of thin and just a bit lacking in flavors. However the bambaloni definitely made up for it since that was soo tasty, fluffy, and the perfect sweetness. Service was good, all the staff were friendly but nothing over the top and the vibes/ambiance were also regularly nice inside. I probably wouldn't go back but cool to try it out!
You know that a business is excellent if you have a strong desire to move closer to the establishment so you could enjoy it more frequently. As someone visiting Seattle, I truly wish that I had a restaurant like this where I am from because they offer such a wide variety of delicious foods, and they are all on display. I was not very hungry before entering the establishment but seeing all of the food options glistening behind the counter made my stomach grumble! My boyfriend and I wanted to try a couple of bites because we were tasting many restaurants in the Pike Market but I was struggling to narrow down my choices because I wanted to try EVERYTHING! We ended up ordering the garlic pesto polenta, and a pastry that had a THICK 1.5 inch orange creme filling. Oh my goodness the food was so delicious. The polenta was perfectly soft and crumbled in my mouth and I loved that it had roasted garlic under the melted cheese. I expected the pastry to be heavy and for the creme to be thick but it was so airy! The orange flavor was so subtle and elevated the taste of the pastry so nicely. My boyfriend and I noticed that they offer breakfast foods that are sold by weight, so we took note of this and came back two days later! We got an affordable breakfast to go for the airport! Most importantly, Michou has a cozy, warm ambiance that makes me feel like I'm with my loved ones. I don't know how they achieved it but maybe it was thanks to all of the kind servers/workers and customers!
Don't pass up on Michou! You'll def see lines for Piroshsky Piroshsky, Starbucks, Beechers...and while all of these places are iconic for a reason, Michou is also worth dropping in for some deliciously hearty sandwiches and other tasty treats. They have more than sandwiches too - including a soup bar, fresh pastries and other cold and hot dishes. Service is solid and the vibes? Totally worth stopping in especially if you're hungry and not wanting to wait.
Great grab and go sandwich/salad/dessert spot right in Pikes Place! We stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon to grab lunch, and the line was short. We ordered two sandwiches, and split a side salad. The options of food here is awesome, and if you are looking for something quick, Michou is perfect since everything is grab and go style. There are so many salad bar options, I was overwhelmed by which one to order! Our sandwiches were incredible and we got them toasted, which I really think made the sandwich. I think we had ordered, paid, and received our food within 10 minutes of us ordering which was exactly what we were looking for read more

Favorite lunch to-go in Seattle. Huge selection of delicious sandwiches and paninis, side salads and pasta salads, delicious desserts - enormous selection, ridiculously low prices ($7.75 for huge sammies, desserts for $3), great service. Random list of goodies we love: - Sandwiches ($7.75 whole, $4.25 half): Crispy chicken, Sierra Chicken, Turkey Bacon. More than a dozen sandwiches to choose from - Desserts: Zeppole (cinnamon sugar or orange blossom, $2.50 for 4), orange chocolate bread pudding ($2.99, they always have a selection of bread puddings), Nanaimo bar ($1.95) - Breakfast: Thick sliced bacon, buttered corn and ham bun ($1.50) - Salads: Mexican street corn salad (elote), curry chicken salad. Two dozen salads to choose from...insane! read more
Solid sandwiches. For our final Pike Place visit before heading to the airport, we came here for takeout to eat at the airport before the flight back home. We got a Poblano Beef sandwich (Zoe's roast beef, greens, onion, mozzarella, house-made poblano sauce). We got a whole sandwich cut into half, and it was plenty between both of us. I also got a chicken & gouda pasta bake. This was my favorite thing to eat from here! Think of a cupcake, but made out of mac and cheese, with a bit of chicken! Mmmmm. I'm sure they tasted better hot, but even after we bit into the sandwiches at the airport, they were still good. read more

Damn Michou is the hidden place in pike place. They serve the best paninis/sandswitch in Seattle and at such affordable price. I tried 3 different type of Sandwiches including Tuscan chicken, pesto mozzarella (veg) and crispy chicken and I'm completely flattered with their flavors. Their service is fast and ambience is decent. Would recommend a To-go from this place and grab a seat at pier. Enjoy sandwiches with water and Rainier views. read more
Tasty sandwiches and treats that are surprisingly well-priced for this touristy local action. The line was short, but the wait was long and the sandwiches were a little dry, but the baked goods were spectacular and the soup was pretty good, too. We sampled: Italian Tuscan chicken Italian wedding soup Cocoa bread pudding Matcha Mochi (our favorite by far!) Take your food to go across the street to Pike Place and grab a seat outdoors on the deck overlooking the harbor. read more
Food: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Let's start with the good! The location of Michou might be its best highlight, as it is right downtown near the water and close to Pike's Place. It is super convenient for the location and service is rather speedy. Now the bad, the sandwiches while a decent size lack any real flavor or substance that makes you want to take the next bite, I did not personally finish my sandwich as it was not appetizing. The service was fine however, it was rather disorganized, with no menu and no system for the cashier to know what you ordered. The inside of the location was fine with a few bar stools but very crowded and awful flow of traffic for costumers inside the shop. read more

Been coming to Seattle for the longest barely discovered this deli very lowkey but very underrated! The sandwiches here seems basic but they're to die for, they can be grilled or cold but they vibe better when they're grilled. They also have many other side options like a pasta that I got very cheap but very filling! Also a variety of soups to go along! The service was quick and the speed of the warmth of the sandwich is just as good! Made to go or to eat in! Come here you won't regret it read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The ambiance of the store was very lively and welcoming. There was not much of a line to order. The place was super cute and the sandwiches here are very aesthetic to look at! One thing to note is that there is limited seating indoors. We ordered the Two Tomato Brie Sandwich. The sandwiches are always grilled on both sides and the corners, which I thought was a nice touch! The sandwich itself was pretty good, but I do wish it was a bit more flavorful or had a stronger sauce. I think the flavor was a bit muted, but it was still pretty good overall! Overall, I definitely enjoyed my sandwich here and will be back to try other flavors in the store when I'm in the area! read more

My husband and I wanted a lite dinner and Michou captured our attention when walking by. I was impressed by the variety of options, and quality of ingredients. I ordered 3 whole sandwiches (tofu, crispy chicken, & chicken teriyaki) a rice ball, small side of broccoli and potatoes (both were enough to satisfy three people. My husband and son really enjoyed their sandwiches; my husband kept saying "this is a sandwich". The rice ball was extremely delicious, I wish would have ordered two!!! If you've been to Pike Place market and haven't had lunch here you're missing out on a solid and well balanced meal; I highly recommend!! read more

This place is very good. They have multiple items, various sandwiches, pastas and desserts. I ended up getting a turkey, ham, bacon, sandwich, and a doughnut hole. read more
If you are at Pike Place Market you have to stop here!!! Their sandwiches are big, delicious and very reasonably priced. I even went back the second day because I loved it so much! They offer a huge variety of sandwiches and other sides such as potato salad, macaroni salad, and they even sell pastries. You can't go wrong here! Michou is very deserving of 5 stars!!! read more
My outlook on a new place: "must be interesting if there's a line...lets check it out. If I don't like it, I don't like it." Well, turns out this is one of those places. I was hoping for a turkey sandwich, but they didn't have anything of that nature. I still wanted to try something, so chicken sandwich and some sweet chili salmon cuts were on my table in about 20 minutes. The sandwich was super dry!!! Even though I know there was mayo, some sort of cheese in between those two thick slices of bread, it was still very very dry. The salmon on the other hand was a solid C (reason for the two stars). But considering it's been in a plastic casket, it tasted like it. read more

Don't understand the hype about this place. Ordered half sandwich and it looked like this, barely any meat, chicken was not seasoned, it said to have pesto goat cheese spread but barely anything on the bread. Not to mention I waited for almost 10min to heat up my sandwich because the staff totally forgot about my order very disappointed about this place and would not go back read more
Great bakery in pike place. There's never a long wait and the food is always good. They have a wide assortment of sandwiches and there's a little area to dine in unlike most places at pike place. The prices are pretty good for the location too. I highly recommend this place. read more
Cute deli located right across the street from Pike's Place Market. Not only do they have large sandwiches, but they also offer a variety of other dishes, sides, and baked goods. I was very impressed by the diverse options. There is an area on the side that has pre packaged food if you want something quick. The chicken caesar bacon sandwich was tasty but I found it to be a bit dry. Since they are premade, they grab it from the case and heat press it per request. There was no additional dressing added. Next time I would try something different. The polenta was very good. I liked the pesto layered on top and there were a lot of roasted garlic cloves included. There are only a few tables located outside. We ended up taking our meal through Pike's Place to their larger outdoor seating area. read more

OK... I'm not even a sandwich type a girl, I have to really be in the mood to eat a sandwich. However, the sandwiches at this place are good as hell. While on a trip to Seattle, I walked upon this place and had to stop by. First of all, a lot of the food located at Pikes Place Market can be expensive. For me to see sandwiches going for under five dollars, I was intrigued to say the least. What was more intriguing was how delicious all of the sandwiches looked it..it was actually hard to decide which one I wanted. I got the chicken Tuscan, my first go around, and it was so good. The bread was fresh, the meat was tasty - just perfect all around. I loved my half sandwich so much that I had to stop by on my last day in Seattle and get another half chicken sandwich, different kind, to go. As I'm writing this review, now back at home, I'm eating my sandwich and am I satisfied. read more
Don't think. Go try it. Everything and anything. They change their menu everyday and make something good everyday. From veg to non veg to dessert, you would want to try everything. It's the best deli in pike place and in Seattle. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in Pike Place! They always have a wide variety of sandwiches and sides at a very reasonable price for the location, and I love how they offer both half and full sized sandwich options. I would definitely recommend getting the sandwich toasted -- tastes way better, especially during a cold Seattle day. read more

This is such a wonderful bakery in Pike Place Market, I am surprised they were not as busy as most of the other surrounding shops. Service was delightful, very friendly and helpful. Prices are fair and everything looks simply amazing. I really enjoyed the desserts we purchased here, all very fresh and high quality. Large and diverse selection of sweet and savory treats with a few small tables and chairs to dine in at, but the food works very well to go and enjoy outside with views of the water and ferries passing by. One of our favorite places at the market, highly recommended! read more

What are the measurements of the half sandwiches? I need them to fit in a 6×4×4 box for a baby shower.
