Amélie's French Bakery & Café

Always love Amelie's. Every time I'm in Charlotte, I stop by a location. This location did not disappoint. I came early Saturday morning and everything was fresh and well stocked. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere was cozy as always.

Affordable, quality, and pleasant would be how I describe Amelie’s. We ordered the breakfast biscuit sandwich, quiche, and brioche French toast. We also ordered the strawberry cheese danish (basically cheesecake) and a chocolate croissant. For coffee, we ordered a mocha latte and a double espresso. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The ambience here is a mash up of contemporary modernization with a historical, victorian themed flare. It’s chic and fits the mold. I think the best part is you aren’t breaking the bank on your bill. For all of our food and coffee, with tip, it was $50. Highly recommended.

Warm chocolate drink, frozen Napoleon, poor service. Came in for a hot chocolate and a Napoleon. The Napoleon was frozen solid, resembling a frozen ice cream cake. Took it to the front and was told I need to wait about 10 minutes for it to defrost. After repeating what I was told, I was then offered a replacement, so I asked for an almond croissant. I was given something similar to an almond cake that was not good, nor fresh (photo below). I get things happen, but the response I recieved made me feel like serving frozen pastries was closer to the norm. The hot chocolate tasted ok, but it was warm at best. Disappointing all around, and staff responded as if I was causing an inconvenience. Will not be coming back.

My bf and I love Amelie’s. My mom used to bring lemon bars home from the Noda location whenever she went to the opera or a play/musical. Lately we have been getting the cookie butter cheesecake which is really good, my dog sees the Amelie box and begs for her lil’ bites of goodness 😂. I also like the brownie cheesecake tart, the patè sugar crust (I think is what it’s called) gives it that lil extra flavor/crunch. We had the maple sugar loaf recently and it was nice but not really special. The buttercream icing cake ((strawberry petit gateaux)) with the strawberry jam has been my least favorite… we’ve got it twice now and both times it’s been on the dry side. It needs more jam and less icing imo. The chocolate petit gateaux is really chocolatey and moist. When summer rolls out we get the strawberry cheesecake. I’ve had a salad here that was good but no longer on the menu, wish they’d add more salads. Staff has always been really nice to us and very helpful. Wish this location stayed open later though and had more peanut butter items on the menu. The Oreo peanut butter pie is good I just wish it didn’t have the Oreo part lol.

Stopped in on my way through! Oh my goodness is all I can say! The crème Brulé was amazing ! The lemon bars were phenomenal and the eclairs are out of this world! I was helped by Grace … She was amazing and went above and beyond offering a wondering conversation! I will definitely be returning and bringing friends! Thanks for such a wonderful experience!
