Oh my God. This place is beautifully eclectic, but let me tell you what won me over the most - the HEART with which this place was designed:
1. Has a special handicap elevator for wheelchairs
2. Gender non-specific bathrooms
And so much personality! While it's VERY French inspired, the ambiance is really a hodgepodge. Sort of Paris, sort of hipster, sort of a lot of things!
It's a HUGE SPACE! Lots of seating throughout and different areas of the bakery have a different vibe. Never seen a bakery/coffee shop like it before. The bakers work behind glass screens so you can watch them pour batter in and out of huge pots, and it's super fun.
I tried their spiced chai and it was really great! They have an assortment of drinks and desserts. I didn't try any of their desserts after a heavy brunch beforehand, but will DEFINITELY be back when Im in Charlotte again!
We went Saturday mid-afternoon, and there was no line!
