Michelle's Cupcakes

Zürich


Inspired by cupcake shops in London, Michelle’s has evolved from a market stall to a full-blown bakery selling freshly made cakes that range in flavours from chocolate to chai-spice. Visitors can indulge without remorse, as most ingredients are organic and locally sourced.
