Learned about this new location of Amelie's opening & came to check it out. I've had a hit & miss experience at their other locations & this was no different....although there were many more hits
Mushroom & onion quiche with Gruyere- crust was flakey but the quiche was dense & super flavorful. This is a repeat!
Twice baked Almond croissant - super moist & subtly almondy - repeat!
Pecan tart - this is a southern staple & these guys did it right. Tender crust & lots of buttery pecan throughout - repeat!
Macarons - even though most were raw on the inside, I was a fan in concept. Longer in the oven definitely required. Got 1 of each & here's the rundown
Jalapeño- weird flavor that tasted more gelatinous & half raw on inside
Basil-lime - raw but surprisingly nice compliment of flavor
Pistachio- subtle nut flavor
Raspberry little bit raw, real raspberry jam (seeds). Intense raspberry flavor
Salted caramel - this tasted like chocolate. No caramel taste. Wonder if it was mislabeled
Cinnamon ganache - CINNAMON. Just like biting into a cinnamon stick
Bourbon vanilla peach streusel - raw. Peach jam & maybe a slight cinnamon flavor to represent "streusel"
Mixed berry - dry with whole strawberry inside
Lemon - raw. No lemon taste
Milk chocolate passion fruit - bit raw but nice compliment of chocolate to passion fruit
Honey - my fav. Lovely honey aftertaste. Light creamy perfect crisp
Orange - very orange w a vanilla cream. Like a dreamsicle
So when traveling back to the Uptown area, you'd best believe there will be another ginormous box of Amelie's goodies!
