| - There seems to be something missing.
I was really excited about Amelies coming to South Charlotte. I am in a long, drawn out love affair with their salted caramel brownies - like everyone else in charlotte.
The food is ok. I'm currently crunching on a turkey and brie sandwich... but it's just ok. Even the caramel brownie isn't out of this world like I have experienced at the other location. Just something off.
This location is more open and easier to navigate. There's a place for a line to form, plenty of seating, and an outdoor patio where the Love Locks live. It's all nice, but there's nothing fancy or "hidden gem" about this place. This isnt the quiet study spot that i expected it to be, but maybe I'm comparing it too much to NoDa? The staff doesn't help much either. I've been here 3 or 4 times and every time I feel like I'm not hip enough - and Lord knows, it could just be me. Haha. When I order at the counter, I feel like I'm interrupting something, or not doing it right. There's not a whole lot of explanation - more "what do you want?". Nah mean?
So, I'll continue eating my sandwich and floating on their wifi. I'm not in love with this location like I thought I would be. I think if I didn't know what to expect, and had never heard of Amelie's, it might bring in another star - but only for the unique decorating.
It's fine, and I'll come here again for coffee... *womp womp*
