"After hearing all of my sister's raving about Amelie's for the past few years, I was finally in town to experience it for myself. Unfortunately I did not realize there were two and drove around for about 20 minutes looking for parking to get to this uptown location. My friend and I walked in to an adorable little patisserie and were immediately taken at its quaint decor. There are small tables and chairs in the cafe, shelves with mugs and other Amelie's things for purchase, and then a small counter with baked goods on display. They serve light breakfast and lunch, but the main focus is on their baked goods. \n\nHe ordered a Short Latte and an eclair. The gentleman behind the counter, Brandon, made a couple suggestions for me when I said that I didn't want any brownies since my sister already had a bunch waiting at home and she suggested I try something new. He suggested either the pumpkin cream cheese muffin or strawberry cream cheese twist. I chose the pumpkin cream cheese muffin and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was made with freshly scooped creamy chocolate and quite rich...almost too rich! The muffin had the perfect crumbly topping on it and was definitely a perfectly creamy delightful choice. \n\nI'm sure this place is awesome for those who work in downtown Charlotte, but it's a pain if that's your final destination because of the parking. We were also informed that the other location in the NoDa district is open 24 hours a day and has plenty of parking. I enjoyed this location, but next time I'll seeek out the other location."^^ .
