| - My first visit to Amelie's and I am a lifelong, hymn-singing devotee. I knew I can expect quality goodies from the many reviews I read, but to try them in real time was another experience. I went in after a late lunch with my sister (we saved our dessert space specifically for Amelies) Stepping in, the insides were soooooo cute, just makes you want to stay in for a couple hours :) All the desserts looked simply indulgent, and it was hard to select just 2-3 items. I love tea cakes, but when I couldnt decide between the raspberry and lemon, the lovely lady said she would choose raspberry--as did I. And Im glad I did because it was so light yet rich and flavorful. Light because I didnt feel the need for milk with it :-D I also got a Palmier (very crispy and buttery) and a cinnamon stick. I chose smaller and lighter things because I had a big lunch. I will be back to sample everything else, and more time on my hands.
The service was excellent, even with a line behind me, the person behind the counter patiently waited while I selected. Everyone was nice, helpful and fast.
