What people say, in short
Michaeli Bakery draws recommendations across its Lower and Upper East Side shops. Babka is the recurring attraction, with one fan preferring cinnamon while also liking the chocolate version. Individual recommendations also include a pistachio-cherry croissant and rugelach. A commenter names both neighborhoods as options rather than singling out only one branch.
