    Delicious!! Really nice place for tasty desserts. It’s great if you want light breakfast Sandwiches with a cup of coffee. Build your own sandwich is a great option they have. Try the mixed berry, the key lime tarts, and espresso entremet This place is also great for photographers. Literally every corner is different and unique in decoration People there are polite and helpful. Jay is super nice

    Delicious, what else is there to say, the macrons were phenomenal, the banana creme tart was great. I had never been to the 36th st location before, it has a great feel and eclectic look to it and of course all the bakery items were delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

    Authentic French Breads and confectionery with an Ambiance to match. Wide varieties of food items (vegan also) and drinks. A very courteous and helpful staff. Lots of parking place adds to the leisurely enjoying the evening. A must visit if you are in Charlotte.

    This place is just so unique inside, it’s a “must see”. Your eyes will be captivated by all the neat art hanging on the walls and the very cool light fixtures. Plenty of space for a large group of friends to meet and also a separate room to rent for parties. Now, let’s talk the coffee & food…delicious! I got the Pecan Peach Salmon Salad, absolutely tasty. Friend got some soup. I got an iced oat latte sweetened with honey, it was perfection. Can’t wait to go back and try some other tasty desserts.

    Great spot for desserts. Known for their salted caramel brownies so we had to try them and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Really good! We also got some of their other desserts and it was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness . Highly recommend for your sweet cravings.

    If you're looking for a place to go grab something sweet after a meal and just sit down with friends while enjoying a sweet treat.. this is the place. They have food options as well but haven't tried it yet. I didn't give it a five star because one of the workers weren't super nice and was a little snappy. I also wish there was more pastry options too. The macaroons were delicious and the cheese cake (Amelie's style) was different and good. The layout was beautiful inside as well. Lots of unique chandeliers and pictures on the wall.

    Absolutely love this place! Everything was delicious, including my croissant and coffee. The energy here is very upbeat and welcoming, it’s friendly and warm and fun. There’s a lot of seating and so many different kinds of baked goods! I really like this place and I definitely plan to come back!

    Went to Amelie’s for a late night drink and some desserts. I got the chai latte which was warm and delicious. I also got the pecan pies that were miniature and so good. This coffee shop Is such a cute place for pictures and hanging out with friends or family. They have a whole lot of decorations from pictures frames on the wall to an Eiffel Tower in the middle of the shop and even the restrooms are decorated. Recommend this place

    This local bakery has several locations in Charlotte, and this vibe / environment is so fun! It's overwhelming trying to find a bakery item to pick because they all look amazing! The Napoleon is phenomenal! I also got a twice baked chocolate croissant to go, and enjoyed it the next morning - also incredible. I don't think you can go wrong with anything! I'll have to go back and try their cafe menu items. Definitely check it out!

    If you want to go to Paris on a budget, this is the place to go. They have a good amount of parking available in their parking lot. The decorations are lively and creative. It’s spacious inside. Friendly staff. A lot of dessert options and they were fresh. I would definitely try them again when I’m in the area.

    If I could give 6/5 stars, I would! This place was amazing, from the food to the staff to the interior design, everything. We had the croque monsieur, the strawberry petit gâteau, and the salted caramel brownie, and they were all outstanding.

    One of the cutest most adorable bakeries. Love the ambiance and the decor. All the items I have tried so far have been absolutely delicious. 😋

    First time trying the hyped ✨ Amelia's ✨ experience. First of all, the location is amazing in terms of decor, cleanse, and organization. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The decor allows you to take a lot of great pictures to post on Instagram and so on. 📸📸📸📸📸 The presentation of food is great, where all desserts are looking great and staff is very welcoming in explaining any questions, which is always awesome. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 The coffee was good and the dessert was a solid B . The only aspect that can be approved is price, where 4 items that were ordered summed up to more than $20 which is an average of over $5 per item which is aloot in my opinion. 💲💲💲💲💸💸💸💸 Looking forward to trying Amelia's again. 😎

    I never made it to Amelie's when I lived in Charlotte but have always recommended it to anyone planning a visit to Charlotte. I finally made it!! It's wonderful! Yes, the line was long, but worth the wait. The staff was friendly, helpful, took their time and answered questions about all the pastries offered. Coffee was fresh and a perfect compliment to the pastries. Macarons are amazing!! Everything was delicious! The atmosphere is so eclectic and fun. We loved it!

    OMG!!!!! This place is AMAZING!!! The pastries are so fresh, taste amazing and the decor is cute. We were close by and saw the multiple excellent ratings and decided to give it a shot. It was so worth it. If you're in the neighborhood you need to pass by and try it. You won't be disappointed.

    Cute place. Super big with lots of tables. Food is great and pastries are out of this world. I arrived before the lunch rush and after the breakfast rush so it was quiet. The people are very friendly. I saw several people working on their laptop there. It looks like a great place to just hang and get work done while having access to coffee and pastries.

    Very popular bakery in NoDa/ Charlotte and the interior design is very fun. There is a Eiffel tower inside the cafe, very creative to whoever idea it was. Everything is good just like most reviews, but to me, watch out for the bake goods that are not in the fridge. They can be dry sometimes. Pull-apart bread and turnovers. Coffee, tarts, macaroons are my usual orders. Plenty of people just to sit there and work/study, good hangout spots for friends and families too

  • 5/5 Johanna E. 3 months ago on Google New
    If you know about bakeries you love this place is authentic French flavor in each dessert. Customer of Amelie, since the beginning, I say, they have kept the flavor throughout the years. Macaroons are the bomb in the picture you have cotton candy cake my favorite is always gonna be the cream Brulé my daughter Chose the red velvet cheesecake, and it was mouth watery. Very quiet place to read a book study or meeting with France. We are PACked but the good thing is they have room everywhere.

  • 4/5 Eli House (. 4 months ago on Google
    This is an adorable little spot hidden away in the corner of a residential neighborhood, that's easily missed if you don't know what you're looking for. Like other Amelie's locations, they are mostly well known for their pastries and coffee, but I went with a friend to sample their other menu items. I ordered a wrap, and she, the French onion dip(officially, some kind of toasted beef sandwich with melted cheese that you dunk in the bowl of French onion). Both were incredibly hot and fresh. It was delivered to our table in a timely manner, and it tasted pretty consistent with other locations. Not too expensive, and the decorations were fun and lighthearted. I attached images about the surrounding visuals just so you can get a better sense of the atmosphere. I give it top marks for a chill afternoon rendezvous. When we arrived it was already black dark out, but the place was still fairly packed. I figure they must be doing something right. Not exactly my scene, but I completely get it. We were there for about 3 hours talking, and the staff didn't bother us at all. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to study, or write over your coffee. It was much too loud for that. Many parents brought crying children, and they seemed almost encouraged to let them run around at a breakneck pace. Don't come if you expect relaxation. It's more like a tiki bar, or a mall terminal. Teens and young adults are heavily encouraged to visit. 4/5 is fair.

    Fun kitschy place with the best coffee I’ve ever had, this side of the Atlantic! The twice-baked almond croissant was perfectly flaky and perfectly delicious. Wish there was an Amelie’s in my area.

  • 5/5 Dylan A. 2 years ago on Google
    I cannot say enough great things about this place!!! My wife has celiac and they had GREAT gluten free pastry options! We tried one of each flavor of their macaroons and they were simply incredible! We also tried a latte and a lemonade. Both drinks were exceptional! Long story short, if you are anywhere near NoDa, give this place a try!

  • 5/5 Amber R. 2 years ago on Google
    Today was my first time at Amélie's French Bakery, and I know for a fact it won't be my last. From the moment I walked in, I was excited. There were so many delights to choose from, from tarts to macaroons and macarons, and so much more. The service was great and the staff was more than willing to describe flavors and help pick new favorites. Each dessert was light, perfectly crunchy and pack with a perfect sweetness. If you're in NODA and in need of a sweet treat, check them out!

  • 5/5 Carissa F. 2 years ago on Google
    AMAZING!!! Staff was so kind. They helped us decide what to get. They recommended all the macaroons and any type of croissants. I got the pistachio macaroon and cinnamon twist and they both were amazing. Also tried the chicken salad sandwich and it was fantastic.
