Amelie's Bakery has grown into a staple of Charlotte and specifically the Noda neighborhood. From the cool decor and expansive layout of the restaurant to the vast selection of pastries, desserts, breakfast sandwiches and coffee drinks, it's the place to go whether you're hanging out with friends or looking for a trendy study spot (if you like a little distraction and noise while you study). This morning I just had coffee, but my mom created her own breakfast croissant with sausage, egg, tomato and cheddar cheese and absolutely loved it. Typically, I just visit for the delicious desserts but I definitely need to go more in the morning to check out their breakfast options, whether that's a sandwich, quiche or a pastry! My top desserts from Amelie's are: mini mousse cups, chocolate eclairs and the chocolate/raspberry and the mixed berry tarts. I wasn't too impressed with the Chocolate Petit Gâteaux, however the presentation was impeccable! Overall, Amelie's is a must if you're visiting Charlotte and a great place to relax and people watch.
