| - I love it!
Of all 3 other Amélie's locations in Charlotte, this brand spanking new one is, hands-down, my favorite. The decor and ambiance is true to the Amèlie's brand (blue, quirky, flea-market-chic and whimsical), but everything is just newer. All the employees are obviously excited to be there; it's got that "yay! We've just opened and we're all excited!" vibe to it.
The split-level layout makes for plenty of seating and there are plenty of nooks and crannies that allow for privacy if you're wanting some quiet to study/work or converse.
My rating is more 4.5 stars because I've had better pastries. They try to be authentically French, but I find something amiss. I mean, it's still good, but bring a native French person here and I could see them saying something similar.
Tons of gorgeous natural lighting thanks to the tall windows, wonderful aromas and tastes of coffee and pastries, whimsical music. What's not to like?
(Tip: try the Brown Butter Pecan café crème! It's divine!)
