Okay. I can't really say much to add to the description of the food. Very decadent pastries, some pricier than others but overall not too gouging. You've heard that already.
What I love here is the spirit of the place. I've never seen a spot like it in Chitown, where social segregation is the order of the day. I eat at Amelie's without minding the obnoxious hipsters. Hipsters eat at Amelie's without minding the yuppies. Yuppies eat at Amelie's without minding the guys who roll into the parking lot blasting rap music. Rap music blasters eat at Amelie's without minding the squealing hyper college students who act like this is the first time they've been up past ten without their mom knowing (maybe its true). And college students eat at Amelie's without minding the moms.
The place is not just a French bakery. Its a perfectly nonjudgmental social utopia.
