Amélie's is a quirky 24-hour French bakery in the arts district of Charlotte. The place is decorated with mismatched French-themed art and furniture, and the crowd Amélie's attracts is diverse as well.
I was visiting my cousin for the weekend, and we stopped by twice - Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Saturday night was packed with the line wrapping around to the other room (and I'm told it is usually busy like this during the later hours of the evening). Sunday wasn't as packed but still busy with customers.
Saturday night I got the crème brûlée, and on Sunday I bought a coffee and a variety of pastries to take home to Virginia Beach. Next time I come, I hope to try some of their hot sandwiches and get a frozen baguette to bake at home.
