Oui ou Non? Ummm Non. Amelie's French Bakery is not quite "une boulangerie française." The pastries don't remind me of France or even Canada and I suspect it's because of the use of margarine as a substitute for real full fat butter. There isn't much bread to purchase which usually is a staple at a French bakery and everything taste a bit frozen. I feel like taking an international flight just to get a delicious pineapple coconut cream cheese ring or a simple freshly made baguette.
The Pros:
The staff are the nicest people ever.
The shop stays open 24 hours which is rare in Charlotte.
The food is visually appealing.
The Cons:
The eating area is filthy which makes me nervous about the kitchen.
Seating is limited.
The decor is a tacky mix of the idea of what Paris should look like mixed with the local thrift store.
Overpriced for quality.
