I came to this place as part of the Good Eats & Meets Foodie Crawl last night. Our stops were Kennedy's, Château D'ough (not open to the public) and Sunflour. When we first stepped in I wasn't impressed by the décor and the IKEA looking furniture/cabinets they had.
The first thing I noticed the nice selection of craft beer they had, so immediately things were looking up for me since it was around 10:30PM. Their wine, tea and coffee selections are really good too. Part of the Crawl included a behind the scenes tour of the bakery. IMPRESSIVE! Their large kitchen is fantastic and they had a string of treats for us to try.
First we had some sample of random chocolate little treats which were all delicious. The cheesecake brownies were out of this world. Then we got a nice spiel on their Croissants. I wasn't a big Croissant fan... until now. Apparently they are the ONLY bakery in the Charlotte area and one of the few in the entire Southeast to make their Croissants from scratch... which is a three day process. We had their dark-chocolate-filled Croissants and I was hooked.
Their standard coffee, which is all I had, was excellent. It was a nice medium roast, very smooth and silky.
I also love the fact that, whenever possible, they support local businesses and farms. I love that!
I've been to Nova and Amelie's and all those places... they're good. Sunflour, blows them right out of the water. I am a fan!
