| - This is simply the best french bakery I've ever had. I am convinced it may be the absolute best in America. I went to Charlotte for work about two years ago, and someone recommended it to me as a great place for a sweet tooth. Added bonus: it's also 24 hours! When I got there at 2:45 am, there was a line going from the counter, around the corner, into another room, along another hall and almost to the restroom in the very back of the building. 20 minutes later, I understood why. It was magnificent! The pastries were so light and fluffy, just sweet enough to satisfy, but not so sweet that it unpleasant. Last year, my fiancee and I were driving back to Pittsburgh from the Florida Keys and a bad accident took us off track, so I convinced my fiancee to take a 20 minute detour to Amelies for pastries for our friends who were dog sitting for us while we were out of town. We were the heros when we got home to our friends. Now Amelies is an all time favorite of ours. It's just...well, it's worth the detour.
