Michel's Patisserie

Michel's Patisserie is an Australian chain of bakery-style food outlets selling cakes, pies, savouries and coffees.

[1][2] The company is a franchise system that was founded in 1988 and has over 90 retail outlets in all Australian states and territories except for Tasmania and Western Australia.

[5] In February 2025, RFG announced the remaining 19 stores would be closed or converted to Gloria Jeans Coffee or Donut King locations, ending the 45 years of operation.

In February 2006, Michel's Patisserie conducted a management buyout and merged with its master franchisee in Queensland and Victoria to create a single national franchise business.

[7] In December 2022, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission won a civil court case against RFG resulting in Michel's Patisserie and Gloria Jean's franchises receiving repayments and debt erasures totalling $10 million as part of a settlement relating to allegedly illegitimate marketing expenses and allegedly being sold loss-making shops.
