| - Amelie's is an amazing French bakery with a vast assortment of pastries, breakfast items, and coffee. They easily beat out any French bakery in Raleigh, and I knew I had to bring home as many treats as I could. For breakfast, I had the twice baked almond croissant. It was so crunchy on the outside, yet so buttery and soft on the inside; it was twice baked perfectly and easily one of the best croissants I've had. I also got a latte, and it was very strong. I love the design they put on top of it as well, a very elegant presentation.
I also tried the apple and strawberry kiwi fruit tarts. Both were really good and the French cream was so smooth. The salted caramel brownie was also amazing. Salty and sweet, gooey and crunchy, everything you would want in a dessert. The chocolate filled éclair and cream puffs were also classics, can't go wrong with either. The chocolate mousse torte was also decadently smooth and rich with cocoa flavor.
Overall, everything I tried was really good. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries and desserts. Amelie's is an absolute must every time I go to Charlotte now.
