As a frequent foodie throughout Charlotte I was surprised I had neglected to write a review on Nova's since it's one of my stopping points through my week. Charlotte with it's growing diversity of restaurants and the city's palate steadily growing, Nova's is one of the bakeries you have to visit. Although when you walk in, there isn't a bread scent looming at you....of course I'm not standing inside the bakery portion itself, the moment I peek into their pastry case I feel the kid inside me waiting in anticipation. My favorite are the rugula's with a cup of coffee. They're little bite-sized flaky mounds of raisins, apricot, raspberry, or chocolate that teasingly sit there waiting to be eaten. The staff is very friendly. They're family owned so you'll see them running about to keep the bakery engine running. Sladjana if you get a chance to meet her, is an intense lady who seems to always be busy with something but never too busy to crack a joke. Overall, I love the place. The new shop they opened up on South is open 24hrs and is pretty awesome as well.
