I don't know, y'all... Amelie's sort of weirds me out.
I've not ordered anything but pastries and tea, all of which have been decent but not earth-shattering... at least, nothing you can't get at any self respecting bakery styling itself "French." One of these days, I'll try a sandwich and/or soup, but I find myself so off-put by the atmo that I generally avoid going, even when I'm craving a "French" pastry.
It's just so... cavernous. And the decor is a little fussy for my taste. And it feels like a warehouse that someone's grandmother's house has thrown up on. All of this to say that I don't feel particularly relaxed or comfortable when I go to Amelie's, and though I've brought a book or a magazine or some writing, all I really want to do is finish my croissant and split.
I think the high ceilings and general lack of space dividers make me feel very exposed. Sort of the same reason I don't like Best Buy.
