I walked in one day in search of the King Cake...just in case they had any just sitting around. They didn't of course, as you have to preorder those, but I hopped in line to try some baked goods anyway. I bought a box of cookies to gift to some friends, and I got myself a cupcake. The cupcake was alright, and the cookies were good but very *hard*. They'd make lovely ornaments.
So why the 4 stars? For one, the service was wonderful! For as crowded as they were the first time I went in, everyone was cheerful and patient. Patience is important when you have 500 delicious-looking things to choose through in your case! For another, the second time I came in, I was dying for a danish. I don't even know why. I had had a danish from Amelie's and it came nowhere close to doing the job. Amelie's danish was overcooked(?), way too flaky, and not enough.. you know.. the center part of the danish.
The danish at Suarez? Holy moly. HOLY MOLY. Amazing. I will not eat danishes from any other place in Charlotte. Or NC. Or SC. You get the idea. :)
