Brioche Dorée
5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“This Charlotte gem pulls off the rare trick of being both a quick caffeine stop and a lingering destination, thanks to its genuinely quirky décor filled with mismatched chandeliers and eclectic wall art that makes every visit feel special. Their signature creative drinks like the Tiramisu Latte and Salted Caramel Mocha pair beautifully with French-inspired pastries and macaroons that justify the weekend lines, while their build-your-own sandwich concept keeps things fresh beyond the typical coffee shop fare. Whether you're flying solo with your laptop or gathering with friends, the kitschy warmth and affordable prices make it a place where people actually want to linger rather than just grab and go.”

What a cute place! I walked by on a holiday weekend and the line was basically out the door. On Tuesday, I was one of the few people there and able to grab a bit quickly. I tried the brownie cheesecake and loved it. The decorations are what really make this place, though: just fun, quirky furniture, chandeliers, and more that give a real Parisian feel.
So glad I stopped here while in Charlotte! This place is so kitschy, affordable, delicious and a great place for solo travelers or groups!! I got a Tiramisu Latte (fantastic) and the Chicken Salad Sandwich (so so good, and a great portion for a great price). The best part is definitely the artsy-French inspired art that I was told is all done by the owner — brava to her!!! Before I left I snagged a few macarons and a fruit tart that were delish If I’m back in town I’ll be coming back for sure! 🇫🇷❤️😁
The decor in this place alone makes it worth visiting. The macaroons are amazing - we wanted to go back for more. Lovely bakery with create your own sandwiches, and plenty of freshly baked pastries. Highly recommend!
I read very good reviews so I went there with great expectations. It came true to certain extent. There sandwiches were good and had quick service. Coffee was awesome, we tried Salted caramel mocha and tiramisu flavor. We had 6 different types of macaroons- vanilla, raspberry, chocolate ganache, Cafe au lait, cookies and cream and s'more. All were good, but little on sweeter side. Their decor was very different, they wanted to emphasize on French decor and they succeeded in it. Its very big place - more of restaurant than a café. If they can keep it cleaner it would look great. It had a little gloomy look.
Come for the food, stay for the quirky atmosphere! The different chandeliers are so fun, as well as the random art all over the walls. We got a Samoa tart and pistachio petit four. Both were AMAZING! Parking is tricky, we had to park a few streets over because there was no parking in front for the time of our visit. The staff were very friendly, patient (there’s so many things to choose from!) and helpful.
