This was my first time visiting the Uptown Amelie's location, and I really enjoyed it. I think it is better (see: more spacious) than the original. Yes, it's pricy, but yes, you're also paying for the atmosphere and the name. The pastries are delicious and the coffee was very good. I love the layout of the location - there's a section for each part of the store.
The location is wonderful, and there is plenty of parking, but just hope you get lucky to find one!
Grab some dessert and a coffee, take a seat, and watch some of the delicious foods being made.
