| - I chanced upon this delightful bakery and cafe while in Charlotte for a P.E.O. convention. First of all, the decor is eclectic and charming. The first evening, we sat outside at little tables that truly made it feel like you were at a Parisian street cafe. Delightful. I had a soup that was light but filling at the same time. I think it was spinach, leek, and asparagus. So tasty! Dessert was a tough choice as the display cases are loaded with rows of beautifully presented pastries and sweet treats. The peach tart I settled on was fantastic. Flaky and full of peach flavor. Before flying out this morning, my friends and I planned to have breakfast at our hotel - until we saw the uninspired menu and typically jacked up prices. On a hunch, we decided to check to see if Amelie's would be open, though we held out little hope, as we'd been told all of downtown closes on Sundays. Turns out my new favorite place is open twenty four hours a day, every day. Awesome! My friend and I both had different flavors of quiche. Mine was asparagus and manchego cheese - hers bacon and some other kind of cheese. I don't even normally order quiches in restaurants because I hate when they come out in a runny consistency. Not to worry here - the quiches were amazing. The staff is ready to help with any questions or needs. They are friendly and professional. In between eating all the delicious, excellently prepared foods it's just plain fun to look around and see all the whimsical decorating touches. Amelie's, can you branch out to Kansas City???????
