The best thing about Amelie's is that it is open 24/7...not many Charlotte establishments can boast that!\n\nAmelie's is unapologetically kitschy, with French accoutrement covering the walls, tables and menu. The decor can only be explained as \"what an American imagines a Parisian coffeehouse to be,\" although any French person would die laughing if they came inside. But Amelie's recognizes its frivolity, even relishes in it, with tongue-in-cheek art and silly t-shirts.\n\nAmelie's pr\u00E9tention a la c\u00E9l\u00E9brit\u00E9 are the incredibly gorgeous pastries prepared daily. Cakes, tarts, honey buns, turnovers, brownies, macarons, eclairs, the list goes on and on. They even offer gluten-free and some dairy-free options, but do not offer any vegan pastries (super depressing to this girl). You can order individual portions or full-size pastries for an event. \n\nIn addition to pastries Amelie's offers a menu of sandwiches, salads and drinks that updates seasonally. A personal favorite is the mushrooms duexelles tartine, a fabulous garlicky mushroom pate (almost) spread over the most wonderful crispy baguette. Usually served with cheese (for non-vegans) as an open-faced sandwich.\n\nAmelie's is a great place to take friends and family when they come visit you in Charlotte. It's cute and fun, with plenty of conversation starters, and open 24/7/365. Bon app\u00E9tit!"^^ .
