| - Ooh la la! If you're a fan of delectable, decadent desserts, Amelie's will be your Parisian paradise in the Queen City. The chocolate truffles filled with different flavors of ganache are a must-try. The passionfruit is indescribably sweet, tart, and chocolate-y all at once. It is positively orgasmic. In addition to passionfruit, there is currant, raspberry, and chocolate ganache. All are a chocolate-lovers dream.
Their pastries are light, delicate, and fresh, and coffee is abundant. Other Yelpers have described Amelie's atmosphere- it certainly is a cheerful spot on the otherwise depressed edge of NoDa. No help, either, that there seems to be permanent road and construction work all around.
Never mind all that, when you visit Amelie's you have the sense you're in a Parisian patisserie, where the plaintive voice of Edith Piaf wraps you in a fur coat of luxury. Frugal escapists take heed: visit this little gem.
