| - The food at Amelie's is always amazing. I went here for a small treat-binge for my cheat day, and ended up eating two macarons and a tart with a double shot espresso. The macarons are great, as per usual. The tart left a little to be desired, and felt a bit over-sugared. The espresso, however, was burnt. I will not assume what the issue was, but I was unhappy with it. Owning my own espresso machine, I know the difference between a fresh espresso versus a burnt one. I saw them make it on the spot however, so I believe the problem lies within the beans themselves, not Amelie's.
Amelie's is almost always packed from front to back, usually with people who may have gotten something but have been there for hours on end. I do like the casual effect, but it does become difficult when you just want to sit and eat for twenty minutes and someone has sprawled all of their bags, book, and laptop across a four top. Definitely think there should be a section designated for more of that nature, so customers that are staying a shorter time can rotate tables out more quickly.
All in all, will go back from time to time for a little treat, but probably only to-go unless there are already open tables.
