| - Yuppies and hipsters abound, NoDa is most likely the coolest place in Charlotte. Enter Amelie's Bakery. I will be honest, the food is delicious here. However, the ambiance is definitely what takes the cake with this bakery. Yes, pun intended.
I indulged in the critically-acclaimed salted caramel brownie, and it was deliciously rich. The luscious European butter used for their pastries certainly give a certain richness and flavor that normal butter cannot provide. Also, I had the French Almond and Raspberry macaroons, equally delicious, complimenting my green-white tea perfectly with every respective bite and sip.
Again, the ambiance. Two acoustic guitarists, excellent finger-picking, not so excellent voices, jammed in the main seating area. Classics like the Berenstain Bears and French novellas line the shelves, and a fireplace adds to the warmth of the lighting. All in all, quite a comfortable area, and a great cafe to unwind after a stressful corporate day, one that I know all too well.
