I'd kept hearing about how great Amelie's was and finally I had to see what the hype was all about. So I left work in South Park at 9:30 and drove to Amelie's in NoDA...and now I'm hooked.
This place is extremely eclectic, with furniture from the ReStore in a Warehouse looking strip mall. Parking is great and there's even a patio for outside seating.
But you're not going to Amelie's for the parking or the outside seating. The pasteries are to die for. I had a cup of coffee, a croissant, and some raspberry tart thing...for dinner. YUM!
It killed my diet but I didn't care - even returning the next day to try something else. Now I'm intentionally finding a reason to go to NoDA just to go to Amelie's.
