| - Love Amelie's.. and I know it sounds cliche b/c everyone probably says it, but I do.
Beautiful atmosphere, great pastries (sweet tooth lovers down fall), open kitchen concept is nice as it's awesome to see the chefs and bakers make magic and the energy is always on point here.
One caveat.....the bar tends to be slow on the trigger pull to take your order, so if your impatient, go to the line, but since I am a "sit at the bar girl" I just make sure they see me...couple winks, a little eye contact, a "friendly" DC "yo!". LOL. So real talk, I dock a star for the lack of attention the bartenders give as they are more focused on being baristas than anything but still, I observe pretty antsy people. But when you have them, they are personable and friendly.
Turkey Bacon Croissant - get the full sandwich, you'll be pissed if you eat a half because it's sooo dog gone good.
Chai creme latte - awesome, and they serve almond milk for us that can't tolerate a cow.
Explore the menu of wines and beers if you have time.
I always go when I need to read or do homework but want to be in the mix of good energy.
Parking - no recommendations, I live in Uptown so I don't dare jump in my car to come here.
