Amélie's French Bakery & Café
136 E 36th St, Matthews, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Matthews, this French bakery café enchants visitors with its carefully curated vintage charm—every chandelier and headboard tells a different story—making it feel like stepping into a Parisian corner despite being in North Carolina. Beyond the Instagram-worthy décor, the kitchen delivers genuinely excellent French pastries and tarts alongside solid coffee drinks, creating a space where both laptop workers and family brunchers linger comfortably. The warmth of the staff and the genuine care put into each croissant and cappuccino explain why guests keep returning, sometimes multiple days in a row.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Super cute little cafe with a great selection of French pastry. We tried several things, some of them great (all the tarts are amazing!), some of them meh (chocolate items are slightly too sweet for our taste). Their decor is on point though, lots of great backgrounds for…
