The best Almond Croissant in Charlotte, hands down, and the brewed coffee is excellent too!
Usually the simple things like brewed coffee and food quality are overlooked in favor of flashy advertising and hype. With an unassuming storefront and attention to all the savory details, Renaissance Patisserie is just the opposite. Even advice from the barista(?) on how to properly store leftovers for best flavor.
While I do love the ambiance of the 'other' French themed hangout in Charlotte, Renaissance Patisserie has really nailed the taste, texture and consistency of the main event.
